RUSTIC yet ELEGANT! TALL TIMBERS LODGE in the Thousand Islands
Tall Timbers is one of a kind! Owners design. Enjoy a Timber frame stay with grand trees built into a very warm, comfortable, yet elegant and rustic home. Many features have a story. Such as the mantel was pulled out of the waters of Lake Ontario and the Newell Posts came from a Cedar Tree cut by a friend in Redwood then customized to adorn our staircase. Tall Timbers was built with over 900 hours of labor by a gentleman named Ken. We are so grateful to him for helping our dreams turn to reality along with a few others, but especially my Dad who has multiple talents. My Mom helped with many aspects from painting to watching the children, so we could work. We raised our children here and now are looking to welcome others to enjoy this amazing home and make great memories as we have. All the amenities that couples or families can enjoy you will find here. Even your dog has what we call the Daj Mahal, which is a very large kennel with 2 dog houses on a raised deck, brick pavers and fresh water available. Locking Gate for peace of mind while you are out adventuring. We do have a Ring Cameral at the front door. This allows us to greet our guests and makes us instantly available at check in.
Main Floor: Large Laundry Room has upright front loading w/d and this is also where your dog will sleep during your stay. Just outside this door is a wrap around deck where you will find the Hot Tub and Seasonal Shower along with our Glamorous outdoor bathroom (look up to appreciate the crystal chandelier) for convenience when you are enjoying the Timber Pub by the fire (also smoking area). The Timber Pub is a Custom Bar with 2 light fans, a chandelier, a retro RED sink, and a hammock area! Also great area to BBQ, while playing some corn hole!
Back to the house: Step up to the fully equipped kitchen which has all stainless appliances along with a wine fridge and an 8' cutting board. The kitchen is a cooks dream. If it's lacking anything - lmk! It is open view to the great room, which has an oversized cozy window seat, big enough for 2 to lay down. From this space you can oversee your fur family in the Daj Mahal kennel or enjoy the birds. A soapstone gas fireplace also warms this space for fall guests. It's a grand feel in this room as the ceiling peak reaches 30'. We often just lay on the floor and look up at the cool joineries. There are double doors to the deck for outdoor dining. Under the arch you'll find the large dining space for 8, a fully equipped hutch for place settings and a buffet. Just through the pocket door you'll find the TV Room with a 60", 2 reclining chairs and a reclining double leather love seat. Behind the partial wall there is a Trundle bed for a midday nap, children or elderly who doesn't want to climb stairs.. This room has a small library for all ages and many games and puzzles.
2nd Floor: Upstairs the bathroom has a tile shower and double sink it is located between 2 Bedrooms. To the right is the "Silver Hemlock Room" accommodating a queen bed and 2 smart lamps where you can plug in and a tv. This room is open to a loft above. To the left is the "Yellow Pine Room" accommodating a queen bed adorned with an alternative down that is so inviting and cozy you won't want to get up. It also has a tv and mirrored closet doors. Just over the bridge (here you can view the festivities below in the great room on one side and the main entry on the other) is the North Oak Suite. This room has a luxurious comfortable King that raises for reading or watching TV. You can plug your phones into the smart lamps and put oil in your spa diffuser to set the mood for romance under the large magnolia tree that is a lifesize print at the head of the bed. The ensuite bathroom has a shower, double sinks and a clawfoot tub.
The lower level (basement) has a private entrance for our son Paul (also, a licensed Massage Therapist). He quietly resides there and is available by appointment only as he works full time also. His number is available to you upon arrival.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard. Housekeeping is available on request.

We had such a wonderful week in Cape Vincent! Tall Timbers was breathtakingly crafted, relaxing, and more than we could have asked for. Our hosts were friendly, always available, and Becky shared great local spots to visit. The Stewart family made our stay special, and I’ll definitely be returning. Thank you for offering such a lovely home for this adventure!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay that tall timbers. It is worth the price if you have a big family with you. The home is beautiful and unique! Good quality everything in the home. The yard is huge with a swingset, nice fireplace, outdoor seating area on the deck, a full Court for Pickleball or basketball. We took advantage of the cornhole that was there. We cooked a lot inside and outside and their outdoor black top grill came in handy. The kitchen had everything that we needed.The closest town was about 15 minutes away, which had a good grocery store. The closest beach ( cedar point) was about 10 minutes away and we enjoyed a few sunsets in Cape Vincent, which was about five minutes away. I was also able to go kayaking from the public dock in Cape Vincent. The neighborhood in which the house is located is very quiet and you can see many stars at night.The hosts were very responsive and kind people. We had a few issues with the hot tub and TVs in the rooms and they were on top of fixing any issues. We would def return!

Tall Timber Lodge is a beautiful home on a quiet setting. We wanted a special place as we were traveling with family, and we were not disappointed. Everyone loved the home, including the kids who took over the theater room wing of the home. We felt right at home and very comfortable. All the beds were perfect. We all agreed we would want to come back to the same rental.

Beautiful Timber Framed House
The wife and I met up with a few of my college friends and their families to see the April 2024 Total Eclipse. The house was gorgeous, as a group of engineers, we were all discussing the finer parts of quality old school construction of a house built with solid timbers and hardwood dowel pins. The location was great, a few minute drive from the village of Cape Vincent (check out the Coal Docks if you go!), and about 15-20 minutes to the rest of the 1000 Islands attractions (we did a boat tour and wineries). As a host Becky was very gracious, she responded quickly to messages on VRBO and texts, she also caught us on the Ring doorbell as we fumbled to figure out how to get in after a long 9 hour drive. The property is beautiful and well maintained. The house has absolutely everything we needed to make the stay comfortable. As owners of a sign shop next door, practically everything is labelled in the house. We would all love to go back and stay again.

Excellent Lodge to Explore the 1000 Islands
Tall Timber Lodge is a great home base to explore the 1000 Islands. Well situated between Clayton and Cape Vincent, many attractions and wonderful parks are close by - including easy trips to Canada. The Lodge is unique structurally and visually pleasing. It is well appointed and clean. Beds are comfortable and linens and towels are high quality. Lots of homey touches. The backyard is a gem with a hot tub, pub, fire pit and outdoor bathroom and shower. Perfect for starry evenings capping off busy days. Becky is a great host - responsive and helpful and very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would return to the Lodge when in this area again.

Came for a family reunion in Mud Bay. Tall Timbers was a great place to stay. Will definitely be back! Only disappointment was that the fitness center is no longer available. As we have a boxer in training with us- the availability of the advertised gym played into our choice of accommodations. Also had to ask for the DVD player and x box as they were not in the house.

What a wonderful experience!
The Tall Timbers Lodge is beautiful. There was plenty of room, the beds were all comfortable, three full baths with showers were excellent, although one of our guests loved the outdoor shower and used it twice. The kitchen is lovely, and my daughter wanted to stay there! It is extremely functional. We loved sitting on the deck, or around the firepit at night. We only have a couple of suggestions: I was using a cane to walk, and the stairs to the kennel could use a handrail (no one else had a problem there, though) and the queen bedrooms could use air conditioning, as they got a little too warm, even with the fans going.

Becky and Mark could not have been more welcoming or helpful. We had wonderful weather and enjoyed museums, boat ride, tours. We visited with family that stayed at the house in addition to others that visited. All enjoyed the fire pit and smores. 8 stayed in the house and we did not feel crowded. It was a great week and we will return when we can.
