St. Lawrence River Cottage

Enjoy spectacular views of the St. Lawrence River from the deck of this one bedroom cottage located on a private lot with 200 feet of shoreline.
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.

Absolutely wonderful! This dog friendly cottage is perfect for relaxing and viewing the ships traveling the St Lawrence River. Sunsets are amazing. Zenda Farm Preserve is within walking distance. It has a gravel trail for walking. The kitchen has everything you’ll need for your stay. There’s a grocery store in Clayton which is a very short drive. Mary is a great host - always available to answer questions but not intrusive. We hope to return soon.

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 !

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Jul, 2025
From the Owner: "I’m sorry to hear that you felt the cottage was “average,” as most guests love the waterfront location with its panoramic views of the St. Lawrence River, beautiful sunsets, and proximity to walking paths, Clayton attractions, and restaurants. During the summer, there is typically a refreshing breeze off the river, which is why many cottages in the area, including ours, do not have air conditioning. We do provide ceiling fans in the living room and kitchen, as well as a window fan in the bedroom for added comfort.All of the appliances are currently in good working order, but I’d be happy to hear which ones you felt could use updating so we can consider improvements. Thank you for sharing your feedback."

This cottage is adorable. Just the right size for a getaway. The best part is the huge wrap a round deck. The ships pass right in front! In a beautiful setting too.
