Célébration
The stay was wonderful because we always make the best of it recommendation of a TV on the main floor difficult to go up and down in the basement when you are elderly .also somehow the basement was very cold and taking long to warm up I when to many Vrbo over the year with fully daily home supply this one was lacking home everyday supply for the size of the house and for 6 people plus to be recommended .

Family gathering
Some of our family members stayed at this beautiful home when visiting Brockville for my grandson’s baptism. The house was even more beautiful than pictured, and very well furnished and equipped. We also enjoyed the central location, just a short walk from downtown. I’d love to stay there again and would recommend to others.

Hidden Gem!
I hesitate to write a review because I'm looking forward to booking in the future and dont want it to be taken.
We has 2 families staying there. 4 adults and 6 kids. The space was large enough for both families to have space. The kids loved staying in the bunk room and both sets of adults were happy with the bedrooms. All the bathrooms were comfortable, clean and appear recently renovated.
We spent most of our time outside fishing off the dock, swimming (water was cold, but it's still May), or hanging out in the very large hot tub. Also we enjoyed watch all the differnt boats go by. The location in Brockville was very quiet.
One aspect that we all enjoyed was that the location makes everything you need walkable. There's a grocery store around the corner. Our favorites were Richard's coffee house, 1000 Islands Brewery, and the saturday market.
5/5 and gold stars. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Beautiful house on the water
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and even extended for an extra (5th) night.
This home is set in a very beautiful location and is exactly as shown in the listing.
This is a very quiet residential area and is perfect for a relaxing stay.
The town is in walking distance with all that you need for supplies, restaurants etc.
The only disappointment was the check-in process - purely due to incorrect information provided by the property manager. However, the owner was quick to rectify this and went above and beyond to make it any enjoyable experience for us.
We wound definitely recommend this property and if we are in the Brockville area again, would definitely return.
