Late review, but by the looks of things it hasn't changed a jot! The house is amazing, quintessential American as far as the Brits are concerned. Comfortable beds, great showers. Food is sublime - never had Mexican for brekkie but would definitely have it again! Cats are cool but the best bit about it is Sam - one of the... More

Captain Visger's is a gem. My wife and I stayed there for our fourth wedding anniversary and would recommend it to anyone. It is located within walking distance to the ferries and restaurants and was decorated with a stylish mix of funky and classic deco. The breakfast was fantastic (well above the norm) and the hospitality was charming. We will... More

in fear that nobody could ever live up to the standard that Sam has set! This house is unbelievable! I really enjoyed walking around the house and noticing all the different eclectic decorations. I sat with Sam we talked just like old friends. The location is perfect! We walked everywhere we wanted to go. Our first night at the captains... More

I recently had the opportunity to finally visit the 1000 Islands. I came across Caption Visger House and was glad I decided to make my stay there. Upon arrival my fiance (I proposed in our "Ella" room) and I were just taken back by the decor. Sam, the proprietor was in the kitchen with her music and when she came... More

What a delight. We have stayed at B & B's all over. This was one of the best! The house was beautifully appointed, all in excellent condition & spotlessly clean. The bed pillows were the most comfortable I've experienced in any 5 star hotel. And, the breakfasts! What can we say ~ you have to try it to understand. We... More

We had a wonderful time at the Captain Visger house. The home is lovely, Sam was a great host and our room was beautiful. The fall leaves were in full bloom. We had the captains room, which was perfect. The breakfast Sam made for us for unbelievable and some of the ingredients came right out of her garden!

As soon as you walk into the Captain Visger House you feel as though you've walked into your sister's home. While the decor is eye catching and beautiful, Sam's friendliness and genuine desire to please tells you..."we've chosen the right place". My husband and I celebrated our Fortieth Wedding Anniversary there (we are young children of the fifties).The house is... More

My husband and I stayed at the Captain Visger House and just loved it. The room was wonderful and the breakfast was amazing. I'm a vegetarian so Sam offered to make a chard dish for breakfast..my meat and potatoes husband was hesitant but breakfast was out of this world! Very flavorful and unique but not weird..:-).

Our 2 nights in the Captain's Suite were heavenly! The Inn is beautiful, and spotless! The decor is delightful. The breakfasts were scrumptious, exactly what we love on vacation...something we never could have made on our own. Sam is a delight, and clearly loves what she does. It was obvious that our comfort (and taste buds!) were her foremost concern.... More
