Clancy is a wonderful host: thoughtful and welcoming. She provided everything to make our stay a comfortable one. Watertown was an excellent base of operations for our long weekend of exploring the 1000 Islands region, including Clayton, Sacket's Harbor, the Black River Trails, Clayton Boat Tours, and the Olmstead designed town park right in Watertown! Good times!

Lovely, quiet neighborhood. It was easy to feel at home for our week. Just know that hardwood floors in historic homes creak - part of the character, but an early riser can't tiptoe quietly in the kitchen! The host was very respectful of our privacy, while always very friendly and welcoming.

Nice pleasant stay

Nice little property, conveniently located. Really enjoyed Watertown and not a far drive to the wedding venue in Clayton. Great for a thousand island mini vacation. Place was nice with a lot of personality and a lot of nice perks from the host. Would strongly recommend!

The charming property is a very welcoming place to stay. Clancy made sure everything was perfect and that we had a wonderful overnight stay. We loved the decor and the ambiance. We will come back for sure but until then we hope many other guests will stop by this beautiful property!

Very nice home.

We enjoyed staying at Clancy’s home the two weeks we were in Watertown visiting family and friends. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and beautiful. Clancy lives upstairs so it was very easy to talk with her if we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again when we visit the area!!

Very nice weekend. Clean, quiet neighborhood, comfortable bed, updated kitchen and bath and located in the heart of Watertown. Enjoyed our morning coffee on the enclosed back porch. We never cooked there but everything we needed for a breakfast was provided. TV easy to use. Very pleasant all the way around.

Quiet. Beautifully appointed. Just the place I needed for a combined stay for work and play. So much nicer than a bland hotel suite. Do not hesitate.
