Summary: We had a wonderful time at the JEMH cottage. Sandi was very responsive and helpful with questions. The location is amazing, we swam, kayaked, and rented a Pontoon boat so we could explore the 1800+ islands! I would highly recommend for a family getaway.

Summary: Overall, this place suited our needs near perfectly for our family reunion of 13. Our favourites about the cottage included the dock, outdoor seating areas, and the lily pad for river swimming. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes and utensils enough for our entire bunch. Sandi, the host, was easy to reach and responded quickly. A note about the property, there isn't really a safe place for young kids to play outside. Be prepared to make trips to a local park (of which there were some great places in Gananoque and Brockville). Also be prepared to take your garbage with you. With a group of 13, we made a lot of trash within a week and had nowhere to take it. Wish we would have known this beforehand. Aside from that, the cottage was great for our needs. The views of the river, sounds of the loons, and boat watching were fantastic. Would recommend to a group of adults or a family with older kids who are all good swimmers.

Summary: The house and location were great. We had 12 people and the house was just the right size. We loved the history of the house. Lots of things to keep you busy inside on a rainy day. Be sure to ask about garbage disposal, water pressure, and water usage, these were not a major problem, and we had to adjust. Overall, a wonderful time in the house and on the river.

Summary: The location of this cottage, situated on the St Lawrence River, was fabulous. We had wonderful views, many sittings of waterfowl and birds, beavers and muskrats. The living room, balcony and various desks all afford stellar views and opportunities for relaxation. Our stay was in early April, so we did not avail ourselves of the enticing swimming and water sports available, but that would be a good reason to return. It’s worth noting that one of the several bedrooms doesn’t have direct access to a bathroom, as you must step outside to reenter the cottage. Sandi was very responsive, helpful and easy to deal with. The cottage was well-stocked and well laid out for our group. The central dining room, with large table, was perfect for our meals together and games. We enjoyed walks along the road and a hike up to a spectacular lookout at Landon's Road, just a few minutes drive west of the cottage.

Summary: Fantastic stay at the JEMH cottage! We were a group of 13, we had plenty of room for everyone, host was extremely responsive and the cottage has everything you need and more!! We would return in a heart beat and highly recommend this cottage. The deck is narrow and has no railing, I would caution those with younger kids. Our boys are 4 & 5 and understood the risk and were only outside with adults (and with their vests when near the water), it worked out fine for us. Its not impossible with youngers kids but you need to be extremely vigilant. Do not miss out on this unique, historical and gorgeous property!
