We had our Standard Poodle, Ivy with us and the house and property were very accommodating for her. Our grandkids came and spent a few days and the outside deck accommodated the whole crew. The location was prime to downtown Clayton. The hostess, Ashley was very responsive when we had questions. She even came over and met us. The kitchen was huge and well designed for cooking and due to the open floor plan it allowed you to visit with the family while preparing snacks or a meal. I would highly recommend this place and our hostess as well.

This charming house was the perfect place for us and our 2 dogs, and we cannot thank Ashley enough for how welcoming it was! Spotlessly clean, every possible amenity, and best of all— we could see the river from the front of the driveway! Every morning we walked our girls about 135 steps down the road and enjoyed saying hello to the swans in the little bay. It was perfect and we are already planning when we can return.

Perfect Location

Property was ideally located to explore the Thousand Island Region. Clayton is a quaint town with good restaurants. Property was very well stocked and host was very responsive for any questions. One note - the pictures of the waterfront/chairs are not on property but are in the nearby village of Clayton. We enjoyed our stay very much

Cozy Home in a Nice Quiet Location

Ashley was very helpful with a couple of minor issues, communicating promptly. We found the property to be very clean and cozy and accommodating, bed comfortable, kitchen and bathroom amenities all first rate! Clayton is a charming and picturesque town, and the river and surrounding countryside are beautiful. We stayed a few nights in Mid-November and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Cozy Cottage

This cozy house provides all that you will need for your stay! There is no grill for cooking, but a well stocked kitchen for preparing meals! Better than a 4 star hotel with room to relax both inside & out! Local restaurants and golf course are in walking distance to this quiet neighborhood. Although there is not direct access to the Seaway, Clayton provides a beautiful waterfront to walk and explore!

Liked: Communication, location
We loved the location! It’s close enough to walk to restaurants in Clayton and there is a glimpse of the river from the house. We couldn’t get in to the house when we first arrived. I did not get check in code from the host. After making a few phone calls to VRBO and Ashley we got in. The house was not as clean as I would expect. We had to clean up a mess under the trash can in the kitchen and wipe down sticky handles on the fridge. There was mouse poop in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom. A layer of dust on the top of the king bed headboard. We had to wash the sheets due to pet hair. There was white pet hair all over the steps and in the bedrooms. The K cups were over a year expired and the creamer cups curdled. The furniture and tables on the patio were covered with bird poop and leaves. There were no Kleenex in the house and we had to buy some. I expressed my concerns to Ashley and she offered to send the cleaners over but we had already cleaned up the mess. Ashley is very quick to respond and I had no issues with her. I think she needs to hire different cleaners. I would not stay here again.

Wonderful surprise

Having never rented a house before, I was skeptical to say the least. I didn't expect the house to look anything like the pictures. I am pleased to say I was wrong. The house looked exactly like it did in the pictures. It was clean, comfortable and roomy. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and close to downtown Clayton. Ashley provided everything we could hope to have, and even a few extras. We brought coffee and were a little panicked when we saw the Keurig, but Ashley provided a nice assortment of K-cups for us to use. My friends and I had a great time on our girls trip and will stay here again should we visit the area again.

Convenient locaction

We enjoyed our stay especially the convenient location to downtown and neighborhood was quiet. We were able to grill although we ran out of gas while grilling for a family get together and had to finish on the stove. Host did offer to bring a refill but opted to wait until the next day. I loaded the dishwasher but had no power and ended up washing dishes our entire stay as hosts husband was unable to resolve the issue. The portable AC in the dining room was very helpful as it was a bit warm during our stay. As an owner of long term rentals, I’d like to make a few suggestions. The kitchen floor tiles that are loose need to be repaired and provide another garbage can for trash. The queen bed was not very comfortable but the king bed was great. The washer and dryer was an awesome plus. We did have an issue with sugar ants so keeping any food off the counter is a must. The host was quick to respond to me and would definitely consider a return stay if the issues we encountered were resolved.

The house was very well-equipped and clean and nicely situated. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need (as did the bathrooms). You can walk to a supermarket and to the town. The only complaint was that the back patio area was pretty dirty when we got there. Otherwise, we had a wonderful stay.

Fantastic getaway!

We had a fantastic time staying at Ashley’s house. The house was clean and very nicely decorated. It was completed updated and had everything we needed. The location was great, we traveled to Cape Vincent, Alexandria Bay and also went to Sackets Harbor. The restaurants were very good and reasonable. The Clipper Inn, O’Briens and The Wood Boat Brewery were all very good. Do t forget to stop at River Rat Cheese store and stock up. We took a 15 minute ride to Alexandria Bay for breakfast a couple times. Window by the bay in the River Edge Hotel had a fantastic breakfast with a beautiful Channel View deck over looking Boldt Castle. Good Fellos in Sackets Harbor was a very good Italian restaurant and worth the 1/2 hour drive. There is a fun miniature golf course just down the road. I would highly recommend an Uncle Sams cruise too! We really enjoyed our visit and highly recommend staying at Ashley’s. Len Herr Niagara Falls,NY

Wonderful house, very modern and clean. Great amenities and close to many local sites. Stairs are a bit steep, adding curtains on some windows would be a plus for extra privacy, rooms are spacious and overall the property is great. Would definitely rent again.

Convenient location

The house was in a convenient location which made it easy to get around Clayton. Well stocked with kitchen basics, impressive artwork throughout, very comfortable beds. The owner was responsive to a request, and gave a great recommendation for antique shops and restaurants. As a gardener, I would have liked to see the gardens kept up, but the owner did indicate she would be working on them. A quick trip but we all enjoyed it very much!
