You won't want to stay anywhere else when visiting the Thousand Islands after experiencing all that the Cottages on James has to offer.
The Space: This condo’s style can be perfectly described as classic nautical modern with an emphasis on comfort. Perfect for those lazy summer days on the River. Brand-new stainless-steel appliances and a fully equipped kitchen allow for cooking and entertaining. Outdoor dining on the westerly facing deck is highly recommended morning, noon or night. The master suite has a full bath with a standing shower and the second full bath comes complete with a soaking tub. Laundry and coat room can be found at the bottom of the stairs right inside the private back door entrance. The back deck is shared with one other first-floor unit, but the entrances are private and only connected by the deck.
For parties greater than three, consider renting this unit and either of the other two first floor units, giving your group the perfect landing spot for enjoying the Islands. There are three total cottages at this location, all privately rented but collaborations and big family gatherings are welcome!

When you're not enjoying the North Country's outdoor sports, step out the front door to enjoy downtown Clayton's farm-to-table dining, local artisan shopping, world class yoga, and boutique spa experiences.
Explore the history of wooden boats on the River and catch a guided sunset river cruise at the Antique Boat Museum a short walk from our front door.

Wonderful stay in Clayton (Thousand Islands). The rental was super clean and had everything we needed. Very convenient location. Would definitely book again.
Property was clean and neat, the view from the porch was not as advertised, all views were blocked by trees. The management was very attentive and helpful.

Beautiful area of New York. Condo was clean, roomy and comfortable.
Our stay was totally enjoyable.
This place was excellent! Check in was a breeze. The condo was very clean and cozy. Museums and downtown Clayton were within easy walking distance. The washer and dryer located in the condo is very convenient as it cuts down on the amount you have to pack. Because of the tree out front, you will not have a clear view of the river from the balcony. However, the shade the tree provided kept the balcony cool so you could enjoy breakfast or pre-dinner beverages on it. Would recommend and stay here again.
Perfect spot in such a lovely town. The location is within walking distance of everything and from the porch you can enjoy a view of the river.
When we did have a question about the lock it was addressed immediately.
Would stay here again and would recommend to friends .
The Cottages on James is a great place to stay. Clayton is a wonderful small town with so much to offer. Everything is within walking distance. Our living area was clean and well decorated. The size is perfect for two people. We loved the roof top deck. Great stay!!!
Clean, comfortable and with a deck for watching the perfect sunset. Perfect downtown location, walking distance to the shops and the SLR. Quiet area with fishing, a number of golf courses close by, great food and out door music.
If you're looking for a little slow down time, this is it.
Have a blessed day!
