Morning Star Cottage

Charming cottage nestled in the heart of Clayton Ny, in the Thousand Islands. Voted one of the coolest small towns in North America, the cottage is now open for your vacationing pleasure.

Just one block from the majestic St.Lawrence river and walking distance from the Antique Boat Museum. There are many shops, restaurants and marinas to choose from. By the way, Clayton is located between scenic Cape Vincent and Alexandria Bay.

If you get tired of shopping, the fishing is great as well--, located near French creek and Frink park where you can fish from the wall or bring your boat and use the ramp by the Antique Boat Museum. Why not see a performance at the Clayton Opera House while you're in Clayton.

Great place to stay

Good location for a stay in Clayton NY. Stayed there from a week of fishing and it is conveniently located walking distance from the municipal boat ramp that has no parking. The host was awesome and made the stay very enjoyable. Will stay there again.

Lovely Clayton Getaway

We very much enjoyed our stay in Kathy's cottage. The location was perfect, we could see the river right from the yard, and the property is within easy walking distance to restaurants, the shops, the riverside parks and the boat museum. The property is clean and nicely appointed. The furnishings were charming and we enjoyed the porch with the umbrella table. The kitchen is stocked with the necessary utensils, dishes and pots. Kathy is a warm and welcoming host who gave us our privacy. We would definitely return!

Darling

Best way to describe this cozy little place. We've stayed before & will book, again, next time we travel to Clayton. In fact, we won't travel to Clayton unless we can stay here. It's completely charming, close to the Boat Museum, an easy walk to the central shopping/eating area, and a long stone's throw to The River. Communication with the landlady is easy & thorough. Parking is a breeze. All photos posted are accurate & true. It's a charmer!
