Ships traveling the St. Lawrence Seaway pass in front of the cottage as do recreational boats. Boaters can launch their boats from a public boat launch nearby.
The deck that surrounds two sides of the cottage provides not only a spectacular view of the river and boating activities but is a great place to relax, read, barbecue and dine.
The living room / dining area inside the cottage also has a great view with comfortable seating, including a sleeper sofa , dining table and internet with streaming access.
The kitchen is modern and spacious and equipped with all the basics for meal preparation.
Of course, being near Clayton, guests will want to explore the fine dining of the local restaurants as well as all the other amenities Clayton and the surrounding area have to offer.

The minimum stay during the peak summer months through Labor Day weekend, is 7 nights. We encourage longer stays of two weeks or more. Discounts will be applied for longer stays. If interested, please contact the property owner.

Our stay was wonderful. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The deck is fabulous. We saw many ships (get the MarineTraffic app to see when the ships will be in the area) and heard loons in the morning and evening. Highly recommend staying here. We will be back next year !

Amazing! The area is great to explore but it was nice to come back to the cottage and just relax in peace and quiet. It had everything we needed. The view was wonderful, even when it was raining. Clean and cozy. The owner was always in touch and helpful. Looking to stay again.

Awesome waterfront property, view and setting.

What a wonderful, spacious, peaceful and private waterfront setting. Lots of dining and activity choices in nearby Clayton and Alexandria Bay. Has a very nice neighborhood ambiance and the nearby Zenda Farm Preserve was great for our pet walks and exercise.

Secluded spot with beautiful views

We stayed at this property for our 10th wedding anniversary. It was a perfect spot for two people looking for a quiet long weekend. Beautiful views of the river but still in a private cove. Only a few minutes drive to the Village of Clayton. The owner was very nice to deal with.
