Summary: We have been vacationing in the St. Lawrence for years, this was by far the best choice we’ve made in accommodations, not too rustic, but still with a lovely cabiny charm. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Peggy was a pleasure to deal with. The home was cozy and comfortable and had everything I needed to cook meals and relax. Can’t beat the scenery and nature around us. We loved every minute. Couldn’t use dock as water was too low but we had no issues launching at Chippewa bay, it was super close and the next best thing to having boat on site. Will definitely be looking forward to staying here again.

Summary: We truly enjoyed our 2-week stay. This is a wonderful location for fishing and enjoying nature/bird watching. On arrival, the home was nice and clean, with plenty of room for the two of us and our dog (who loved it here too). We were very happy with the modern appliances and well-supplied kitchen, since we planned on doing most of our own cooking. The grill worked well, and appreciated the fire ring. Dock was great, and although Chippewa bay is quite shallow (2-4 ft) overall, we were able to tie up our boat rental at the dock and access the rest of the river from here pretty easily. My husband was thrilled by the fishing right off the dock in the evening--among his catches, a 14 inch chubby largemouth bass, a 32 inch bowfin, and a large bullhead catfish. A real whopper we think was a muskelunge actually bent and broke his steel leader before making off, and appeared to be around 4 ft long (could be seen in the water as he pulled it up)! Now he has a great fish story about "the one who got away"! The calm bay is also nice for canoeing and kayaking without worry about being swamped by speedboats. Along with fish, we really enjoyed the birds and wildlife, as well as the secluded and quiet setting. When it was time to turn in for the night, the bed was comfortable and the ceiling fans helped keep the evenings cool during a hot spell. Recommended, especially for nature-lovers and fishing enthusiasts!

Summary: What a great place in a great location. The cottage itself was really nice. Well equipped kitchen, eating area and a very nicely sized great room. Lots of windows overlooking the deck and the view beyond. The deck, which very nice with lots of seating and and outdoor eating area as well. The grill worked perfectly. The property itself sits off the St Lawrence in a little cove that had beautiful Lilly pads growing. There's a dock, and a nicely sloped area for kayak access. We kayaked every day and were very pleased with shelter that the islands in the distance provided from the busier areas of the river. Paddling was easy in both upstream and downstream directions. We had a really nice experience and I just can say enough, about the peace and quiet and relaxing time we were able to spend during our week at the Big Dipper.

Summary: Everything went well checking in. The place was clean. Fire pit was nice to relax in the evening. Fishing was good. Only problem was the river was low and couldn’t use the dock. Boat launch was only 2miles away. No fault of the owner. Looking forward to next year.

Summary: 2 bedroom(1 double In master, 1 rm with double over double bunk ) 1 bath home on river with dock and large uncovered deck with some seating and a table to eat at while enjoying the view. Large windows to see vew from kitchen and living room. Only 10-15 minutes car drive to alex bay. 5 minutes car ride to state chippewa bay boat launch where we left our trailer, 10 Min car ride to kring point State park to use beach and playground. Washer and dryer. Kitchen stocked well withpots/pans/dishes etc. Good parking. Great communication with owner. We rented it because it had a dock. Quiet. The view was so relaxing with sunsets and may different birds landng in bay. Bed in 'master' is very firm . The firepit is on a slope so its somewhat difficult to sit around it as a group to chat or roast marshmallows. There is a picnic table to help this. We would rent again for the dock, good space, relaxing and quiet view and good communication. Thank you very much for renting out your beautiful home!!

Summary: My wife and I booked a week long stay at the Big Dipper cottage. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Spacious living area very comfortable. Nice deck with a gas grill to enjoy some outdoor cooking. There’s also a fire pit and picnic table just off the deck. For the fishing families. A nice dock with power to charge your batteries is available. Fishing Chippewa Bay was great. Didn’t have to go far to find good fishing. Steve was right there to answer any questions or help with any inconvenience. All around great stay. Definitely coming back.
