The Hart House is a grand property built in 1896 with large living spaces and well appointed rooms.

Before George Bolt transformed Heart Island into the famed Boldt Castle, there was the Hart House. A portion of the mansion was carefully slid across the ice to it's current home on Wellesley Island's Thousand Islands Country Club golf course. The Hart House is being brought back to it's earlier Victorian grandeur for guests to enjoy. It features ample living space with a grand living room, long sitting room, a warm and inviting tranquility reading room and eight beautifully appointed bedrooms. Two large rooms on the first floor (one wheelchair accessible) welcome you to the Hart House. A beautiful staircase wisks you past a grand fireplace to the six second floor bedrooms. The commercial style kitchen is huge with lots of room to work. We have relationships with several chefs should you desire to have your meals prepared for you - leaving more time to spend with family and friends. Jamie’s background in Hospitality began in California growing up in the resort town of Lake Tahoe. Working in ski resorts, restaurants, casinos and hotels gave him a wide spectrum of experiences catering to guests. In the San Francisco Bay Area he worked for several corporate restaurant chains and was even part of the opening team for the San Francisco Ghirardelli Square location of the Chart House, a national restaurant chain. Jamie stepped away from proper hospitality work to pursue a media production career although he always considered his work producing video as a customer service role. After meeting Marianne, getting married at the river, they eventually relocated to Ithaca where Jamie began his work at Cornell University. Jamie led a 15 year project in entrepreneurship and media marketing in the College of Business. His evolving passion for entrepreneurship led him back to his hospitality roots and he pursued a masters . In 2019, he obtained his masters in Hospitality Management with a concentration in entrepreneurship from Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration. In his last semester of schooling he was awarded the contract for The Wellesley Hotel Restaurant and opened the weekend he graduated. He continued to run the Wellesley summer 2020 and has truly found a passion in hospitality operations. Marianne’s passion for the Hart House property stems from a longtime vision and affinity for the grandeur and beauty of the river and its history. The elegance of an antique Garwood or Chris Craft wooden boat slicing through the sunlit blue river waves embodies the feeling of tranquility and a time of slower pace allowing attention to a more mindful state of being. Marianne has practiced a professional career as a Registered Nurse and licensed Acupuncturist. She holds a Masters Degree in Education and has been a long time teacher and community educator in the fields of health and wellness. She has entrepreneurial experience owning and operating her own school for 15 years. As she moves forward with her business ventures, her background in western and eastern medicine drives her interest to serve people and the community. Her desire is to create spaces that offer a place of respite and escape from daily stressors to allow for balance and connection to healthy values of both mind and body.
