What a view

The view is amazing. The cottage is a very nice. If you have a boat and trailer. You might want a little better info on launching and trailer storage for the time that you are there. The dock is in front of the cottage is nice. I would love to come back. Maybe next year. Thank you Rick

Great location for relaxation but convenient

We have stayed twice now for quite relaxing anniversary trips. Both times have been a pleasure. Quiet but yet to close to action if you so choose. Husband was successful fishing off the dock. Host Rick is clear and easy to communicate with if needed. We will be back again!

Lovely Time by the River

We had a lovely time staying here! Enjoyed the pretty river views and watching local wildlife fly or swim by. The deck is great for that. The house was clean and comfortable. Loved the decor! Loved that Clayton was so close. It was very convenient to be able to pop down the road for a grocery run or to go to a restaurant a little further downtown. Would love to go back!

Peaceful Serenity

Lovely riverside location. Fun to watch freighters and beautiful sunsets. Loved the peace and quiet. Perfect for the two of us and rediscovering the 1,000 Islands area. Especially enjoyed Clayton. Unfortunately lots of rain, but we got to watch the many moods of the water views.

My husband and I went up for a long weekend after the mad rush of summer. We toured the area and always came back to enjoy the deck looking over the water. The cottage was nice and felt like home. We had a very pleasant stay.

Clayton NY

The cottage & location were perfect. Landlord needs to update his appliances such as washer/dryer, coffee machine, grill & septic system (they didn’t work properly). These changes would make it an ideal location.

Perfect place on the river

This really is a true gem of a cottage. Cozy, clean, quiet and comfortable. Spectacular views and close to everything. We had a perfect time with absolutely no problems or concerns. Plus Rick is the perfect host, checked in with us, made sure we didn’t have any issues and quickly answered any questions. Really was a pretty perfect time.

Peaceful and healing

The covered deck was our go to spot for morning coffee, or sunset cocktails, when we weren’t busy with wedding things.The daily traffic into the bay was just enough to be interesting and not intrusive. The view was sensational, cargo ships going both ways,at all hours! No, you can’t hear them! The cottage was clean and well equipped, it met all of our needs. Clayton is a quaint little town, rich in history, nice people and plenty to do. We came up for a joyful celebration, and fell in love, the cottage soothed our souls and allowed us all to do some much needed healing from a sad time. We will be back, it’s a very special place.

Amazing!

Incredible views, great small house but was big enough for my 6 person family. The deck and porch are huge as well as a nice sized back yard. Caught more fish than we could count off the dock and saw so many huge ships and boats. Close to everything we needed for our long weekend! Rick was responsive very quickly and made sure everything was going well for us! 5 star - will definitely be back!

Perfect Fishing Retreat

This cottage was perfect for two fishing buddies and a 25’ boat. The location in a sheltered bay was nice. Proximity to restaurants and a supermarket were great. It was thoughtfully stocked with EVERYTHING you would need: Linens, towels,TP,paper towels, bathroom necessities, cookware, plates and glasses, gas grill…etc It had Direct TV which came in handy on tte one rainy day we had. Rick, the owner was super helpful and quick to respond with the few questions we did have. And, THE VIEW😍😍😍 This was a great rental in Clayton!

Great River Front Spot

Very happy with the overall stay. Owner Rick is easy to deal with and very friendly. The place is small, but clean and accommodating. It's perfect for 2-4 people. Deck area is huge and the views are awesome. The sun sets right out the 3 sliding glass doors leading to the deck. It really makes the evenings something you'll miss. The dining area inside is a bit tight, but functional. The table and chairs on the deck are a much better option weather permitting. As with any river/lakeside property, you will have to do some cleanup of spider webs in the mornings, but its a good trade off. Boat dock has plenty of room and there is a boat launch 100 feet away with trailer storage. We plan on making this a regular place to stay.

Quick trip to 1000 Islands

What a beautiful location! The cottage is in the perfect location to see the most amazing sunsets and watch boats pass by while also seeing the ships pass in the river. We enjoyed our short stay so much that we can’t wait to go back and stay for much longer! Rick was so nice and answered any questions we had promptly. Thanks again!

River stay for fishing

We stayed at the cottage for a few days for fishing the Clayton area and the cottage was perfect access to everything. Perfect distance to all the good eats in Clayton while being private and on the water. The house was very clean and was perfect for us. If you have kids the loft would work out great!
