Top Clayton Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Watertown/Thousand Islands NY

10/10 Excellent

"H"

Waterfront 5 Bedroom Grindstone Island Farmhouse

10/10 Excellent

"I do not think the pictures in the listing capture how nice this farmhouse is. My family had an amazing week exploring the island, swimming at the dock, and enjoying the area. We rented a boat to get access to the island. Boating in this area might not be great for an inexperienced boater like we were. Lots of hazards so you need to be careful. A few days were windy so we had to use a water taxi because it was too rough for our small boat. We had an amazing time, it was quite an adventure for us!"

Waterview House w/ Fenced Yard, Woodboat, & Museum

10/10 Excellent

"We (4 adults) stayed for a week here with our two dogs. Allison (the host) provided easy check in and was friendly and communicated promptly relating to any questions we had. The house was well equipped with anything we needed even though I packed a lot of our own things just in case. There was even a stand mixer to use when I made a bday cake! The beds were comfortable, everything was clean, great water pressure in the showers, and the dogs enjoyed the fenced yard. A short walk into town takes you to fun restaurants and to our favorite spot, the ADK chairs on the river. Check out instructions were clear and as easy as check in. Overall, a great week spent and we’d definitely choose this house again for a future stay."
