Absolutely beautiful!
Lovely new cottage tucked away in a quiet bay. You will need to have a boat or rent one to get there. The bay is shallow so communicate with the owner first if you have a larger boat. The property was super clean and very welcoming. There is a marina 5 minutes from the cottage that you can rent a pontoon boat from and you are only a few minutes from town. Definitely a place we would go again.

Great Stay at the River
New, cozy and very clean cottage. Keith was easy to contact, friendly and helpful. We made use of the well-suppled kitchen and spent a lot of time on the lovely deck. We enjoyed kayaking and boating.

Beautiful island living
We had a wonderful time staying at the sunset cottage! We were celebrating my mother-in-law's birthday and the size of the cottage was perfect for the 4 of us (all adults) to relax. We brought our own groceries and found it easy to cook in the kitchen every night.
The cottage is very close to Wagoner's boat rental and we had a great time exploring the 1000 islands with the boat - the sunset cottage was perfect as our home base. Keith was helpful with recommendations on where to go, leading us to a beautiful sandy bottomed area to swim. I would highly recommend staying at the sunset cottage.

Wow!
Everything about the house was amazing! We don’t own a boat so the owners provided us with a few local options, we chose Wagoner’s Marina. It was was easy to get to and the process there was smooth. Parked our car, loaded the boat and headed out to the island. The ride was about 5 minutes and easy to navigate. On arrival the owner greeted us and took our luggage right back to the house for us.
The house was beautiful inside and out. We were there as a family and used all 3 rooms and can happily report back that all those spaces were amazing. Beds/provided bedding were comfortable and the room darkening curtains were a plus for my teenage sleeping beauties. Mom and Dad loved having our morning coffee on the private deck right outside the master bedroom. It was also great to have a spacious master bath en suite.
The kitchen was well stocked with all the items we needed to cook both in and outdoors on the grill, lots of fun servings dishes as well so we could have entertained on the deck if we had been here with friends. Basic condiments were stocked and there was an adorable gift basket with some snacks for us when we arrived! Appliances were top notch and we took full advantage of all of them.
The house is nestled in a landscape of old growth trees. From the partially covered deck we enjoyed a sunset on the river as well as a summer storm. The quiet waters around the cottage made a great place to use the provided kayaks and we got a lot of fishing in from our dock.
