Enjoy the majestic Thousand Islands on the St Lawerence River. Our home, named “Twin Peaks” was built in 1890, relocated to Grenell Island in 1920 and has been lovingly restored for today’s conveniences. Knowledge of the river and life on an island is crucial to your stay. Navigating the seaway & island life is not for the faint of heart! Having your own boat is necessary for getting anywhere! Our cottage faces the main channel for excellent ship watching and has water views from every room! Twin Peaks Cottage on Grenell Island has the worlds greatest wrap around porch. The home is south facing on the main channel. Sit and watch the world go by as the ships travel the St Lawerence seaway. Enjoy the moonrise from the from porch and the sunset from the back. Relax, play games, have drinks and socialize with your family & friends from this magical porch. Island living is all about being in the water, on the water & looking at the water. Nothing is accessible without a boat. This is a large, true 5 bedroom home perfect for multiple generations, large groups of friends or multiple couple to share. The 5 bedrooms sleep 12, plus there is a crib for an additional infant. There is also bed on the screened in portion of the porch that can turn from a twin into a king bed for outdoorsy sleeping. Guests have run of the house however, owners leave their personal belongings onsite. Please be respectful. Owners are not onsite during rentals but can be reached by phone and have friends on the island. 911 is available by water in case of emergencies. Grenell is a small, intimate island. There are 77 homes and the community is close. Guests should be respectful and friendly. Loud groups & parties are not permitted. Everything must be done by boat. No boat provided. The island has no stores, no roads, no resources. You must bring all your supplies. Owners can arrange for arrival & departure rides at additional cost, however, once on the island nothing is accessible without a boat. It is highly recommended that children wear a life jacket when not in the home or on the porch. This is an island! Water is everywhere, water is deep and the current is constant. ALL water on an island is river water and is not drinkable! We will start you off with two 5 gallon spring water containers but depending on the size of your group and number of days staying, you may find the need to refill or purchase/bring bottled water.
