About this cottage rental

Your Island Cottage Getaway

Set on the peaceful southeast corner of Jacobs Private Island, This Cottage/Bunkie combination offers a spacious and comfortable retreat surrounded by the beauty of the St. Lawrence River.

The main cottage features two cozy bedrooms: one with a king bed and the second with a twin-over-full bunk bed. In addition, for the adventerous, a loft above the bathroom has a full size Japanese mattress. You’ll also find a full kitchen, WiFi, heating, air conditioning, hot running water and a full bathroom complete with shower and eco-friendly incinerating toilet.
Just behind the main cottage, the Bunkie(aka sleeping cabin) adds extra private space. It includes a queen-size futon, a full-sized mattress in the loft, air conditioning, electricity and WiFi.

This property is a great setup for families or groups who appreciate having a little extra room to spread out.

Outside is where island life really shines. Spend the day kayaking, paddleboarding or relaxing by the water or in the hammock. Unwind in the three season hot tub, warm up in the cedar sauna or gather around the firepit once the sun goes down.

A spacious gazebo is also available for guests staying in Cottage/ Bunkie 1. While it may become a shared space in the future, it is currently reserved for this accommodation.

We all had an amazing stay at this cottage!! Check-in was a breeze, and our host, Francis, was exceptional. He loaded us and all of our belongings onto his pontoon, took us over to the island, and showed us around while explaining how everything worked. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it feel just like home - nothing was lacking. The WiFi was impressive and reliable, which was a huge plus when I needed to work on my laptop.We can't say enough good things about his little piece of paradise. Thank you so much, Francis and Lannie! You truly are wonderful people and we can't wait to be back! :O)

Stayed at this private island cottage over the long weekend with friends, and it was honestly perfect. The cottage was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed — fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and plenty of space to hang out.The island itself felt super peaceful and secluded. We spent our days swimming, kayaking, and lounging on the dock. Nights were all about bonfires and stargazing.If you’re looking to unplug and reset with good people in a beautiful spot, this place nails it. We’re already talking about coming back.

Grandfather's Landing was the best experience my family has had with a VRBO property. Francis was a gracious host. You meet him at his home on the Ontario side of the river. A 10 minute pontoon ride kater you are on the island in the middle of the St. Lawrence Seaway. The island had all the toys the kids needed to stay on the water for hours. The property was relaxing. We used the gazebo to watch the big ships go by in the channel. Francis was nice enough to shuttle us back to shore so we could go spend a day in Montreal (an hour away). The cabin was well equipped with everything needed in the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. We also made great use if rhe grill on the porch. I couldn't recommed Francis and Lannie's property enough. 10 out of 10.
