Unique Upstairs Boathouse Accommodation on a Private Island in the 1000 Islands | Cottage in Fishers Landing

The Island Boathouse is on a uniquely beautiful private 2-acre island in the 1000 Islands near Fishers Landing, NY. The Thousand Islands area is a stunning destination where the mighty St. Lawrence River begins over ten miles wide and moves from Lake Ontario through nearly two thousand islands on its long journey toward the northern Atlantic Ocean. This rustic and charming boathouse is on Occident Island, facing the International Shipping Channel, where 750-foot freighters pass frequently. The rest of the island is shared with the owner, Phyllis, her cats & her family, Phyllis lives in the main house and is always available to help plan activities or answer any questions.
Guests stay in private living quarters in the upstairs of the boathouse, consisting of a private bedroom, another main bedroom with 2 beds and couch, a small kitchen with a sink, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, and small fridge, and a private half bathroom with a composting toilet. The upstairs also has a spacious deck with furniture to sit and eat or enjoy the view. Guests also have access to the downstairs of the boathouse. For guests' use only is a private enclosed shower, propane grill and full-sized refrigerator and freezer. They also are welcome to use the deck downstairs and docks to swim, fish and enjoy. In addition, we offer the use of our canoe and a Sunfish, if you know how to rig it! The water of the St. Lawrence River offers amazing swimming, boating and stunning sunsets!
The boathouse has plenty of deep water docking and is only a short ride to the mainland. There is a boat launch right in Fishers Landing, as well as parking for your car. You may bring or rent a boat locally to use during your stay, or we can provide rides in our boat for arrival and departure. Between boating, stairs and uneven terrain, those with walking difficulties may find this a challenging destination. Please share any mobility issues with us prior to booking in order to ensure a pleasurable & comfortable stay.
Occident Island has been in our family since 1900, after a short stint as a fishing lodge. The house and boathouse were built in 1874 and are the only buildings on the island. Due to the climate at the northern border, we are only open during the summer season, and staying over the water in the midst of such a majestic river is an experience you will not easily forget! We look forward to hosting you and love sharing the beauty of this very special island!
