A riverfront cottage on the St. Lawrence, in the heart of the Thousand Islands
Drop anchor at our private dock in Mallorytown, where the St. Lawrence slips past the islands and the evenings end around the fire pit. The Hideaway sleeps 6 across a cozy 2-bedroom cottage, a riverfront king bunkie with its own electric fireplace and coffee station, and a games bunkie for rainy-day crews. Paddle out by kayak, fire up the BBQ, and let the river set your pace.
Captain JaC and his first mate, W.A.J. Puggles, keep a lantern lit for every guest. Book direct for our best rate, with no booking-site service fees.
Escape to serenity in the heart of the Thousand Islands.
Step into a bright, open-concept living area with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing panoramic river views. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing meals to enjoy on the spacious deck overlooking the water. Fire up the BBQ, gather around the fire pit for s’mores, or stargaze under clear Ontario skies.
Captain JaC
"Legend has it that the Captain has watched over the waters of Kerry Point for generations. With a twinkle in his eye and a love for the St. Lawrence River, Captain JaC was known for navigating the islands’ hidden coves, sharing tales of shipwrecks and sunsets with travelers far and wide. Today, his legacy lives on at his Hideaway, where our eco-friendly cottage carries his adventurous spirit. From the private dock, you might just catch a glimpse of his ghostly schooner gliding between the islands at dusk, inviting you to explore the Thousand Islands. Stay with us, and let Captain JaC inspire your own island adventure!"
