Nice little cottage with great views of the passing ships

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage which included everything we needed to enjoy the week. We loved relaxing on the screened in porch and watching the ships go by. Great base to explore the area.

Beautiful river views

Peaceful two weeks. Clayton is an enjoyable community in the summer. Friendly people, lively places to eat. We enjoyed the Clayton Opera House listening to the Irish Kings. We had a wonderful boat tour of the islands. Absolutely happy with everything. We will return.

Great fishing

Fantastic! The view, either from the dock, yard or the screened in porch is great. If you are going to have a family vacation you can catch fish from the dock. We caught bowfin, large mouth and small mouth bass, rock bass, bluegill, pumpkin seed sunfish and yellow perch. Cottage was well stocked with everything we needed. Had a great family vacation.

We have stayed here for a few years now. We love the location. It can’t be beat. Quiet, close to Clayton and a private dock. I will say, the home is becoming dated and old. Things need to be updated. Even though it’s clean, it’s just feeling old and worn out. We still enjoyed our stay though and Elizabeth is always a joy to work with.

Rest. Relax. Repeat.

This property is exactly as described and the owner, Beth, was VERY responsive to my questions. She was so helpful and welcoming and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful spot to watch the ships go by, to relax and to watch the beautiful sunsets. The dock was super helpful and allowed us to dock our boat and jet ski for some River fun and there was plenty of parking for our four vehicles and our boat trailer. It’s an amazing little cottage and if you’re looking to rest, relax, repeat then this is the cottage for you!

Excellent Cottage!!!!

Clean, Excellent Condition, EVERYTHING was very clean, well maintained and worked perfectly. Great attention to detail in both mainitainence and cleanliness!!!! The furnace, hot water heater, outside AC unit, Fridge, stove, and bathroom all appeared to be fairly new. Good Windows and doors, ample draperies, well stocked kitchen (not food, of course) and ample supply of towels. Firm, but GOOD bed mattresses, a rarity. On-site owner was friendly and helpful. Beautiful view. The pictures were very accurate and not misleading. Very Private!! Would go back in a heartbeat!!!!

Clean & Beautiful Location

We absolutely loved our stay. This cottage isn’t fancy and it’s small but it was VERY clean and updated inside. The yard is gorgeous and we loved the fire pit close to the house. The only downside is no washer & dryer. There is a laundromat close by though. We loved our stay. ❤️

This is such a great location! About half mile from Clayton and about 7 miles from Alex Bay! We loved the screened in porch, it was so relaxing. We took our dog abd she loved it there also. She didn't want to leave either! Whenever I contacted owner to ask questions they got right back. It was a great time! We will return Lord willing !! Thanks for sharing your beautiful little place!

Lovely place. Lovely owner.

My 70+ years old sister and I stayed four nights. Everything was just as described: nothing disappointed, neither location nor decor nor amenities nor owner. Particulars: I read alot, so I really appreciated the excellent floor lamps. My sister enjoyed the porch and the wildlife: Canada Geese and their goslings, swans, herons, songbirds. We both found the mattresses very comfortable, which, like the fabulous lighting, is not a small thing! Elizabeth Docteur rectified an internet connection problem quickly and assured us she was always available for anything we might need. Last, but not least, you park the car right at the door!! All of which is to say we would definitely stay here again.
