Beautiful place to stay! Beautiful town! Beautiful area!
This little cottage is perfect for couples! We had a great time, we wish we could live in Clayton!
Perfect location for a wedding at the Antique Boat Museum. Quaint town with good restaurants and beverages. Loved the front porch and everything in walking distance.
The cottage was cute and cozy. The space was spotless! Had everything we needed. The only suggestion I would make is to install a full length mirror. We will definitely be back in the future!Sincerely,Debra and Ralph
Condo was perfect size for a couple. It was easy walking to all the restaurants on the waterfront. Very clean. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch every evening. We will for sure stay there again.

This property is in the heart of this quaint amd walkable town of Clayton. The proprietor was communicative & welcoming and never intrusive. The cottage is lovely and is equipped and modern, and extremely comfortable. We had a lot of fun in Clayton!
Our visit to Clayton and The 1000 Islands for a Memorial Service and 60th Birthday party was enhanced greatly by the clean, comfortable and charming Cottage on James. The home was clean, linens fresh and every amenity added- thanks for the welcome basket of snacks! The front porch was a big draw and we spent early mornings and evenings enjoying the rocking chairs. Great location to the river, shops and coffee spots. I would definitely rent again when we visit our friends on nearby Murray Isle- maybe even rent the other units for family members! Highly recommend
What a charming and beautifully update cottage circa from 1899. Beautiful hardwood floors and character galore! We stayed in Cottage #2 on the main floor which had a wonderful covered balcony complete with rocking chairs from which to enjoy coffee or cocktails. Super location, walk to everything in this charming town. The cottage was immaculate, spacious and very nicely appointed. We already know that we will stay here again in the future. Thanks!
This modern, clean 1-bedroom was in the perfect location for exploring Clayton and surrounding areas. It was ideal for our stay as we enjoyed the front porch. The amenities and decor were excellent. It was spotless and very comfortable. I would highly recommend this unit and look to return some day.
