Great Getaway
Everything about the cottage and dock were as described. The views were great, quiet, relaxing. The wineries were very good, and the fishing off of the dock was great, we caught perch, catfish, large and small mouth bass. Location was perfect right between downtown Clayton and Alex bay. Susan and Ben responded quickly if we had a question. I would recommend this cottage.

Beautiful
This house was beautiful, it was perfect for our family of 4. The view of the river was stunning. It’s an excellent location. Close to A Bay, Clayton and Wellesley island. Plenty to do and see but also so relaxing just to sit on the dock and watch the big shipping boats go by. We loved every minute we were there and we’d love to come back someday. Thank you Ben and Susan for being such lovely hosts.

Life on the River
View of the river before entering the house confirmed a great choice to spend a week, then entered the house and everything promised was delivered. The kitchen has everything needed-great appliances to an array of wonderful spices. The Great Room looks out over the porch which looks out over the St. Lawrence, many afternoons and evenings spent on the porch watching the ships and boats going by, so tranquil. Travel to Clayton, Alexandria Bay, and many other great areas within 30 minutes. Cleanliness and attention to detail superb.

What a view!
The property is just as described by the owners. We felt right at home once we settled in. The living room is cozy and comfortable and our group of four found spots to claim on the furniture after a long day of 'touristing'. There were places for our clothing on hangers and in drawers in the bedrooms, but we needed to be creative with the then-empty cases as there is no main closet. I didn't find it to be an issue as my family packs light, but it would help for someone who must bring a lot to have nesting suitcases. The views from the porch or the dockside are relaxing, and it was amazing to see the large ships glide by silently across the river. Having a covered porch was a bonus as we had one rainy day that we could still be outside but dry. The washer and dryer were full-sized; much nicer and convenient than the combo machines we've used in other homes. There is plenty to do in the neighboring towns and many good places to eat. I've got to shout out; O'Briens and River Bottom Bar and Grill in Clayton and Riley's by the River in Alexandria Bay. The restaurant next door, Foxy's, was a great option one evening. On top of a nice place, the people we met on the road or working in establishments were welcoming, which made this trip even better. Definitely a place I'd consider on my 'return' list!

Wonderful River Cabin
A great location convenient to all areas of the Lake Ontario/St Lawrence River region. The cabin was superbly equipped and well maintained with amenities beyond the norm experienced elsewhere. It is evident the owners utilize the cabin themselves and thus well understand the needs and requirements that most visitors need and prefer. Commnication and interaction with the owners was great and they expressed an interest in ensuring the visit was going well several times. Information provided was accurate and well-conceived focused on providing guests the best possible experience. This is a truly wonderful guest cabin and is highly recommended,
