Beautiful view of Boldt Castle and the Thousand Islands area. It is so peaceful and quiet and you're right on the water’s edge. Bring bug spray as the mosquitoes will seek you out at night and early morning when you're sitting on your balcony watching tge gorgeous sunsets!

The room could have been cleaner, as there were several dead mosquitoes on the windowsills and the curtains were torn. On the positive side, the bed was comfortable and spotless, and the pillows were soft. The view from the window was absolutely stunning and made the stay much more enjoyable.

I can’t remember the last time we had a freezer compartment that worked in our mini-fridge (so nice). The bed was so comfortable and the room was nice sized. It also has been a long time since we had a real key for the door. Although old school, it was evident that pretty much the whole area was vintage. Overall, a good stay I would go there again.
