Best view of the 1000 islands Plenty of dates open for 2025

O'Connor Island is a 1.1-acre island in the St. Lawrence River. The cottage, which is about 1000 sq. feet, and is on the highest part of the island, 40 feet above the water line, with extensive decks and unparalleled views of the river. Enjoy coffee out front in the morning and cocktails in the afternoon.

The cottage has a master bedroom with a queen size bed and private half bath, and a second bedroom has bunk beds. The second bathroom has a tub and shower. All linens are provided. There is a large flat screen TV with satellite and Firestick in the living room. There is also a smaller smart TV with a DVD player in the bedroom with the bunk beds. The Wi-Fi works throughout the cottage and on the decks outside of the cottage. Download speeds are good for about 2 to 4 devices streaming at once, on those rainy days you are stuck inside. We added a new wi-fi router this year with a larger footprint area. Speeds are ok for 2 or 3 devices at once, but if you bring an XBOX and try to stream movies and play games all at once, you will get lag. Remember you are in the middle of the river, so speeds vary.

The kitchen has a microwave, automatic ice maker, coffee maker, and a four-burner range with an oven. Bring bottled water to drink. While we do have running water it is strongly advised not to drink it. The dining room table seats 6 to 8. The sofa bed in the living room sleeps 2.

The cove is ideal for swimming, make sure you wear some type of protective footwear when wading in the water, it is a rocky bottom along with zebra muscles. The boathouse can accommodate 2 smaller boats and there is extensive dock space which can accommodate boats up to 36 feet. There are shore power hookups inside the boathouse and on the dock outside for larger boats. Drafts with average river water levels are 8+ feet deep to 2.5+ feet closer to the island.

In the afternoon, enjoy the breeze coming off Lake Ontario. It the wind is too strong, retreat to the decks on the east side of the cottage where someone may be using the gas grill.

Tired of cooking? The Ivy Lea Club has a five-star restaurant. It is just a few minutes away by boat.

O'Connor Island will be available for rental from mid June 2025 to October 2025.

Rates are $275 USD in 2025, a 2-night minimum stay is also required

O'Connor Island is only accessible by boat, we only accept renters who can comply with these options for arriving to our island.

1 - Bring your own boat, launching is available at Peck's Marina (which is closest to the island, but other options are available in the Ivy Lea area)

2 - Rent a boat at Peck's Marina, or at other close by marinas in the area

Former renters, I know in times past we have worked with you with water taxi services to get you to and from the island. We have come to the decision that the liability is too high for you and your family to be on the island without a way to get off quickly if you have emergency. I hope you understand.

Whichever option you can choose, Jeff will be there to greet you and show you around. The boat ride from Peck’s Marina/Ivy Lea area to the island is about 5 - 10 minutes.
