Seasonal Dock | Fishing Gear & Kayaks | Great for Bird Watching
At 'The Fishtales Riverhouse,' your to-do list is blissfully short: sunrise coffee, lines in the water by afternoon, and dinner on the deck while eagles soar by. The Iroquois River is just steps away — calm, quiet, and ready to cast. Inside this Ashkum vacation rental, the 2-bed, 1-bath layout keeps it simple with inviting living areas and cozy corners. The river is calling, the cabin is waiting, and the fish? That’s up to you.
