Our group of 8 really enjoyed the property and this area of the 1000 Islands. Outdoor space around the fire pit was a highlight. Sandi was great and very easy to work with.

Fantastic stay at the JEMH cottage! We were a group of 13, we had plenty of room for everyone, host was extremely responsive and the cottage has everything you need and more!! We would return in a heart beat and highly recommend this cottage. The deck is narrow and has no railing, I would caution those with younger kids. Our boys are 4 & 5 and understood the risk and were only outside with adults (and with their vests when near the water), it worked out fine for us. Its not impossible with youngers kids but you need to be extremely vigilant. Do not miss out on this unique, historical and gorgeous property!
