Juniper Island, Ontario
Previous Page
Juniper Island is a 7 acre private island nestled amongst the Canadian
Thousand Islands in the waters of the St. Lawrence River, ten minutes by boat
from the quaint town of Gananoque, Ontario.
History
William D. Sargent, a wealthy business man, purchased Juniper
from the Ministry of Indian Affairs in 1918 after visiting friends on a
neighbouring island and falling in love with the river.
Sargent built 6 cabins on Juniper, creating a family compound that could
comfortably accommodate up to 18 people. These cabins include a main gathering
cabin, four sleeping cabins and a boathouse. Having separate sleeping cabins
allows for privacy and a quiet escape for large groups of people.
Sargent's love for Juniper has been passed down for five generations and
touches all who step foot on Juniper.
About the Cabins
The Main Cabin is the largest and most central meeting place on
Juniper. It is traditionally where most of the meals are served and social hours
are shared. The main cabin contains no beds.
The Point Cabin sits on a knoll overlooking the Fourty Acres, which is a
large expanse of open water. This is a wonderful spot to sit and watch the drama
of an approaching storm across the water. Listening to the water lapping at the
rocks makes for restful sleep in either its king sized bed or one of its 2 twin
beds.
The Guest Cabin sits on a special spot near the dock on the island. The guest
cabin contains 4 twin beds.
Located near the main cabin, the Patty Cabin with its 5 beds makes it perfect
for families with small children.
The Buddy Cabin is quietly tucked away under the trees where one is woken by
the birds in the morning. The Buddy Cabin consists of 1 queen and 2 twin beds.
