All the rooms offer a spectacular view of Lake Ontario, including passing freighters in the distance, and/or Basin Harbor.

Summary: We stayed over the week of July 4th. 3 couples with adult kids. If you like the water, water sports, relaxing, nature and unbelievable scenery....this is an amazing place. The island is a short boat ride away and offers up a fantastic view in all directions. We took advantage of the kayaks, canoes, firepit by the lake, cornhole on the sprawling lawn, tubing, fishing, sunsets, ping pong, hikes, drinks on the deck, cruising on the lake and generally having a great time. John, the owner, is fantastic...great communication & information, responsive, etc...Although we spent most of our time outside, the house was spacious, the rooms comfortable and generally speaking, it had more amenities than we expected. The caretaker George is also super knowledgeable, thorough and accomodating. We'll be back!

Summary: This was our 4th year back to island and as always it was a great week. Lots to do exploring the trails on atv’s, fishing, swimming or going to the beach across the island all while enjoying the awesome scenery all around you. Then at night watching the beautiful sunsets every night with drinks in hand. It doesn’t get better than this.

Summary: A great place to spend a week and disconnect from the everyday life. Great property with lots or as little to do as you want. Very nice people to deal with for booking and our stay. It has become our home away from home.

Summary: Our family travels quite a bit, but this island now occupies a special place in our hearts! John (our host) and George (the property caretaker) both went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and make sure we had everything we needed. The house is both elegant and comfortable, and we felt at home immediately. We woke up to jaw-dropping views in the mornings, then went on day-long adventures all around the island. No one day was the same, and we kept finding new surprises and delights. We built a fire by the lake every evening to watch the stunning sunsets, and then we'd retire to the cozy library to collapse in the comfy chairs and enjoy our books or a movie. We left yesterday and I miss the island already!

Summary: We absolutely loved our week here and we certainly hope to come back again in the near future! What a place to escape and relax and enjoy nature! There's so much for everyone to do and so much to explore. The property was beautiful and the lake water was so clean. We enjoyed lots of fishing and beautiful sunsets and relaxing on the porch.... can't wait to go back!

Summary: Once again my family and I had a fantastic time on the island! The house is super-comfortable with plenty of places to hang out. The views from the deck are spectacular. The island has lots of nooks and crannies to explore, including a white sand beach. The house and garage are stocked with everything you would need (including extra beach chairs - a nice touch), and the recent addition of a commercial icemaker makes island life a lot easier. The owner is great to deal with and George the caretaker makes sure you are always well taken care of. This is our favorite vacation spot by far. Love this place!

Summary: My family had an amazing time on Grenadier Island. If you are looking for a place to escape and enjoy nature (with all the modern conveniences) then this is the place for you. There is plenty to explore on the island and the natural beauty of the place is unparalleled. Wild life is plentiful - we saw deer, foxes, mink, cranes, herons, geese, snakes, frogs, osprey, eagles, and numerous other types of birds. The house is incredibly comfortable and has everything you need during your stay. Our family only left the island once during our stay for provisions. The owner John and his caretaker George are incredibly helpful and made sure we had everything that we needed. You can tell that this isn't a normal vacation rental -- it is a family home that clearly John and his family cherish. We will definitely be back next year.
