A boater's paradise along the St. Lawrence River
Our cottages are located in the spectacular countryside of the 1000 islands region. The quaint village of Clayton, New York, is considered one of America’s best small towns. This region is dotted with award-winning wineries along the river. While the St. Lawrence brings an amazing boating experience; swimmers also enjoy sandy bottomed coves such as Potters Beach, or the quieter cove of Picton Island.

What our Customers Say
“Our cottage was clean, had all of the amenities we needed, and was super cute! The owners are extremely nice and helpful! Whenever I contacted them, they quickly got back to me. We enjoyed seeing the tankers go by as we sat on our porch eating dinner. What a view, and the sunsets are amazing! I highly recommend a stay here!”

The spectacular views for miles along the St. Lawrence River can be enjoyed from the comforts of your home away from home. We are close to the Antique Boat Museum, restaurants, golf courses, Clayton Distillery, and Thousand Island Adventure mini golf. Visit historic Boldt Castle on a cruise with Clayton Boat Tours, or just sit back, relax, and watch the passing ships. At night, enjoy the beautiful sunsets over the St. Lawrence River, or perhaps have some marshmallows roasting over the fire pit.
