We had a wonderful stay in the old house on Merrick Street. It was unseasonably cold while we were in Clayton for a wedding, but the home was incredibly warm and welcoming - just like my grandparents' old farmhouse when I was a kid. In fact, most of my adult siblings rented a house in Clayton for the wedding, but this house was the best! It was the biggest and cleanest with the cutest decor. And it smelled nice. Definitely the winner! The house is full of antiques but also modern furniture, so we never felt that we were going to accidentally break anything. The beds were comfy, the towels were very soft, and we really appreciated the full bag of coffee and chocolate bars upon arrival. Check in and check out were oh so easy. Seriously, if it weren't for the 10 hour drive, we would be back every weekend! Clayton is a darling, teeny, river-side town, so you can walk everywhere very easily, but this house is in the perfect location on an extremely quiet street with a full driveway and outdoor seating both protected from the weather and in the sun (though there was no sun during our visit unfortunately). We met a couple friendly neighborhood cats too. Highly recommend!
