Canoe-Picnic Point is the place to be! That is, if you have a boat or are like a fish in the water. You see, this secluded island on the St. Lawrence river, is well, an island. Automatic coolness factor, +10. The park is on Grindstone Island, which is one of the largest islands in the famous “Thousand Islands” area. (Rumored as one of the most beautiful places in the state). As you would expect, the boating and fishing is excellent and is what draws most people, but the island itself is quite pretty with picnic areas scattered about and secluded, forested campgrounds. Canoe-Picnic Point is a wonderful visit and only accessible by boat… how cool is that?

I had the pleasure of staying here for the night, and it was a wonderful experience! Even though I booked very last minute, I felt completely welcomed. While I didn’t get the chance to meet Nicole in person, I had a great conversation with David, who was incredibly accommodating and down-to-earth. He made me feel right at home (away from home).
I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

What a great place to get away! The Farm was the perfect combo of “roughing” it and glamping!
Check in included a nice tour of everything there. The farmhouse has two full bathrooms (one with a clawfoot tub) and a kitchenette.
There are lots of places on property to hang.
They had bonfires both nights (I was too tired to join in.)
The birdhouse Cabin didn’t have any power because the storm had knocked it out l, but they supplied a battery powered fan, and two
Lanterns. There isn’t a lot of ventilation in the cabin, so the fan was a life saver.
I would 100% bring my family next time!

If you want the human experience this is your place. Also the dog experience, the cat experience, the chicken experience and the nature experience. Just come here. It smells wonderful. It’s peaceful and energetic at the same time. Benjamin and Ashley have curated a farm/camp/retreat that is perfect for taking that deep breath we all need to reset course. Since we didn’t bring camping gear we stayed in the ensuite and it was very cozy and comfortable. Ensuite is a great name since the bath/dreyyssing area is larger than the sleeping area. Oh and there’s a ballet bar in the room so you can keep up with your stretching. No AC but even with the high July temps the fan kept us cool and comfy. You can have privacy if you like or take part in a communal atmosphere. Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and generous. We so enjoyed getting to know them and hope to see them again soon!

The place is really nice and clean. Barb and Jim are very welcoming and my dogs had lots of space to roam. There is some kind of plumbing cabinet across from the bed and water started flowing through at 1:30 am which woke me up since it was very noisy. I had to leave early the next morning so I didn't have time to ask them what happened. Maybe they had a dishwasher on a timer or sprinklers but I suggest you inquire about this if you're a light sleeper.

Weekend Trip to Cozy country camping
The camper was absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations! We didn't get a chance to take advantage of the fire pit, but the land the camper's on is beautiful and made for a nice morning walk! The location is perfect, as it's close enough to town to do some shopping and groceries, but the camper itself is secluded enough that we were able to laugh, talk, and play music without worrying about bothering neighbours. Amy was also very responsive when we were checking in and out, and even stopped by on our first night to make sure we had everything we needed. I would recommend this stay to everyone!
