#14 -  The Hart House Inn was the original river cottage on the Boldt Castle site before its construction.  

#15, #16 - Over 15 million spent for its recent restoration.  It's the castle that love built!

#17  - If you love fishing, The 1000 Islands is right for you.  Check out the photo above of our guest - Jim Higby, with his spectacular 32" Great Northern Pike! #18.

#19  And, on your travels back and forth on Wellesley Island, you will become intimately acquainted with a profusion of game:  splendid deer, #20 Flocks of turkeys, sly fox, #21 Gaggles of 1000's of Canadian Geese,  #22 Blue Heron (retro to pre-
historic days), spirit-lifting eagles, and many other rare birds.  The list is long.  #23 Your binoculars and telephoto lens will help you capture and preserve those memories.

#24 -Whether you rise early to embrace the sunrise or quietly rest at sundown, there's one more sky-delight you will love:  The infinite panorama of stars above Wellesley Island defies imagination. It's true: no city lights to block the view.  #25 - A little extra plus for romance!

#26 - We are away from it all yet very close to everything.  When you stay at Hart House Inn you will have a winning vacation.

Its true!  
We promise you!
