ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- This single-story home requires steep steps to access
- The property has ceiling fans but does not offer air conditioning. Please note that, typically, air conditioning is not needed due to the prevailing river breeze
- There is another bookable vacation rental in the adjacent lot with a shared driveway and steps to access the shoreline; other travelers may be present during your stay
- The property is not childproofed and features steep steps and water access, which may not be suitable for young children
- The shoreline is rocky and may not be walkable
- Severe flooding in 2017 and 2019, along with strong winds, caused significant waterfront damage, washing the small dock ashore and leading to erosion. A retaining wall and new steps were added in 2020, but there is still no direct water access. For safety, do not attempt to climb down the rocks, as it may result in injury. Guests can enjoy the best view of the St. Lawrence from the property

Beautiful sunsets
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.

Private location, well separated from neighbors. Very large wrap around deck that is great for all-day ship watching. Large oak trees provide deck shade at just the right times. Close to all Clayton amenities.

Great view! Great location!
Cant get a better view than here. The home has a huge porch to enjoy it. Centrally located for fishermen, we fished lake ontario and the St lawrence. Great sized yard, and the dock was utilized for swimming. The home is clean and cozy.

Right on the river, close to downtown Clayton. Well stocked with cooking needs. Peaceful and quiet. Wi-Fi with great TV Access. Views of sunset and ships passing spectacular!! Downside is no water access but we had friends in Alex Bay with a boat and dock so really did not affect us.

Great Views
We had a great time at this cottage. The River views were amazing we spent a lot of time enjoying the passing ships. The cottage is cute and comfortable the kitchen was fully equipped. The yard is very large and the location is very quite and relaxing. It is a very short 5 minute drive to downtown Clayton. We look forward to returning next year.
