5 Bedroom Cottage in Ivy Lea, Lansdowne

Looking for a getaway Spring Summer Fall. The Jemh is a full cottage with a large dock directly on the St. Lawerence and a deck over looking with magnificent views. Whether you are a morning person or a night person enjoy your coffee or wine while taking in the sunrise or sunset that is simply to die for. Bring your boat or jet skis or message me about rentals. There is amazing deep clear water for swimming and fishing. The fishing, wildlife and flora are contiguous. Stay in a place with some history. The cottage was originally the Canadian Customs house. The original name of the house was “Thelma". It was then owned by an author named Eleanor Austin and referred to as the Driftwood for 20 years. The Thelma is featured on TripAdviser. The new name is the Jemh en al Rio. We tried to keep the originality and charm of the cottage while adding some modernization.

Summary: Our host was excellent—very communicative and quick to respond, which made the stay easy and stress-free. The location itself is absolutely stunning, with incredible views of the water and the Thousand Islands area. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind setting.The property, however, could use some attention. The room I stayed in near the entrance of the main building felt dated and had a noticeable musty smell. Cleanliness could be improved, especially around the windows and patio doors. The kitchen was quite small and crowded, with older, stained pots that weren’t very inviting to use. A few of the mattresses were soft and uncomfortable, which made sleeping less restful.On the positive side, the dining and seating areas were excellent—great spaces for gathering and enjoying time together as a group.Overall, this is an incredible spot with a fantastic host and unbeatable views, but the property would benefit from some updates and a deeper clean to truly match its amazing location.
