Dog-Friendly large rural Estate just outside Alex Bay with hot tub and pool!
Did we mention dog friendly??!! Spacious and large 3000 sq ft house located on 3.5 acres for your use! Perfect for extended family gatherings! Enjoy peace and quiet provided by five bedrooms with friends and family and have a blast enjoying the amenities and spaces offered by the property. Located just 1.5 miles outside Alexandria Bay, the area offers numerous land and water-based activities. Hiking, biking, boating, kayaking, fishing and anything else you like to do. The three downstairs bedrooms all have sliding door entries to the backyard so you have that much easier access to the beautiful outdoors and hot tub.
We are dog friendly!
The property offers plenty of indoor and outdoor space for your group. Outdoors you will find picnic tables that can accommodate up to 16 people for large meals, an outdoor kitchen area featuring a BBQ grill and separate griddle cooktop for all those large feasts. New for 2024 is a 6 person hot tub just outside the first floor bedrooms. Host your firepit to sit around and tell all those ghost stories and bad dad jokes while staring at the satellite and star-filled sky! Lots of activities without leaving the property, you'll find a driveway basketball court along with a groomed trail through the backyard woodlands to explore. And don't forget the pool, a large size with a deep end for swimming, playing and just cooling off.
Indoors you will find a spacious dining area with a table that can accommodate 8 spots very comfortably or 10 spots with a couple of kids. The sizeable kitchen is fully stocked with cooking utensils, pots and pans, and dishes. In addition to the dining room, there is a sun room that we call the Breakfast Nook, and has seating for four along with a large daybed that can fit several comfortably for sitting and chatting, sipping on the hot beverage of choice provided by the coffee/tea bar in the corner. The living room has a wraparound couch, with a large TV in the corner. The shelves have books with local area and wildlife knowledge and tales, puzzles and board games to keep you busy on those rainy or relaxation days and nights. There is a mud room / washer and dryer for keeping everything clean as needed. The linens and towels are in that area and are fully provided as well. Three of the five bedrooms have sliding glass doors to the outside and path to the hot tub. Four of the bedrooms have king size beds as well as Roku TVs!
The pool has heating available. Depending on the time of year and water temperature, we can optionally heat it at for a nominal extra cost. If you are interested, ask about this option before checking in, as it takes a day or two to bring the temperature up. It's a big pool!
The Alexandria Bay area is the perfect vacation hot spot with a plethora of restaurants and shopping, river boat cruises, and national parks right next to the mighty St Lawrence River. The wildlife is plentiful, bring your binoculars for the best views! You won't find a quieter or more relaxing property inside or outside of Alexandria Bay and area than our Alex Bay Ranch!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Awesome week.
Everything about the property was perfect. Plenty of room and amenities. The hosts were responsive to any questions and delightful to visit with on arrival. My family hope to take advantage of their property in the future. Thank you Jill and Lisa

Sleep 15!!
This large home is located just outside of downtown A Bay. We were very pleased with the house, the pool(heated for a little more$$), the hot tub, and the little extras that made the study even better.littleextras

Beautiful house not all amenities
Positives: There was ample space for our large crew. We all enjoyed the beautiful pool and outside hot tub, fire pit and basketball hoop. The breakfast nook is beautiful, large outdoor seating as well as grill and griddle. Plenty of extra linens and towels.The hosts were friendly and responsive.
The negatives: The indoor hot tub was out of order and didn’t sound like they were planning to fix. I was really looking forward to soaking inside while my toddler slept. It was in the listing that there were bicycles and Kayaks to use, there were not. My son brought his kayak planning we could all go kayaking together, so we were very disappointed. There was a major ant infestation in one of the bedrooms but this seemed to be a new problem, they put down a couple traps, but will hopefully get an exterminator soon. The owners were responsive and seemed to be taking care of it. Overall a nice property close to many attractions, just not completely accurate in their listing. The owners insisted on meeting us there for check in for a walk through. So if you want a contactless check in without meeting anyone you might want to be aware of this. Personally I would’ve preferred a book with the list of rules instead.

Great property for family and pets. Lots of room outside for games and set around the fire at night. Pool was a nice addition but owner still working at repairs to the area. House had plenty of space for the nine in our group
