Hello, my name is Annalee
Annalee is a Canadian entrepreneur and consultant with a background in civic strategy, planning, and organizational leadership. She works with municipalities and cultural organizations across the country to design clear, practical frameworks that turn vision into action.
She values structure, accountability, and thoughtful design - qualities that naturally extend into how she cares for this property. Attention to detail, long-term thinking, and pride of ownership are central to how she approaches both her work and her home.
Annalee believes environments shape experience. Whether leading complex projects or preparing a space for guests, her focus remains the same: quality, intention, and integrity.
The Story of 220 Golf Club Lane
Annalee’s parents purchased the property decades ago as a seasonal retreat - a quiet waterfront escape tucked along the St. Lawrence River in the heart of the Thousand Islands. Summers here meant dock swims, long dinners on the deck, and boats drifting past in the golden evening light. It was never just a cottage. It was where people gathered.
The home sits just minutes from the fairways of the Gananoque Golf and Country Club, giving the lane its name and its character - a peaceful stretch where river life and small-town charm meet. You’re close enough to walk or bike into town, yet far enough to feel like you’ve stepped into something slower and quieter.
After her parents passed, Annalee chose to keep the property in the family. Rather than sell it, she renovated and reimagined it into a year-round home - opening up the living spaces, modernizing the comforts, and preserving what made it special in the first place: its connection to the water and its natural instinct for hosting.
Gananoque itself has long been a gateway to the Thousand Islands - a historic river town shaped by boating culture, island cottages, and generations of families who return each summer. Like many properties along this stretch of river, what began as a simple seasonal escape has evolved into something more permanent - layered with memory and meaning.
This house knows how to host. All you have to do is show up.
