About this property

Pristine Downtown Clayton Village Home Just Steps Away From Everything!

Enjoy the River experience at our home, River Song. This freshly renovated 3-bed, 1 bath, historic home is two blocks from the water- you can see the river from the porch, and is in the midst of the best the village has to offer. A short walk gets you to the Antique Boat Museum, the Harbor Hotel, and downtown shops, restaurants, playground, and popular venues such as the Opera House or the Farmer's Market.

After a busy day out, return to River Song and unwind with cocktails on the beautiful, comfortable, and private front porch. No worries if it’s rainy or chilly- the porch is covered and we provide blankets for your comfort.
Or, if you prefer, gather in the family room to watch TV in front of the fire. Overall, the downstairs layout and decor is modern and functional for several couples or a family. We provide a well-stocked kitchen space that provides our guests all the starter household items needed for a stay including organic spices, olive oil, bottled water in the fridge, garbage bags, dishwasher and laundry detergent pods, lint roller, iron, and a roll of paper towels. The coffee bar has regular and decaf K-cup coffee pods, tea, sugar, honey, a variety of creamers, and grab-and-go snacks.

Upstairs we took extra care to ensure each bedroom can provide what our guests need. This includes offering 600 thread-count, real cotton sheets, an AC unit, a fan, a fireplace, and all-new furniture, curtains, upscale bed frames, extra comfortable mattresses, plump pillows, door mirrors for event wardrobe changes, and crisp, modern decor.

Our bathroom was just renovated in 2022, and includes all-new everything! There is bright white stacked subway tile in the shower, a rainfall and handheld shower head, modern vanity, ionic hair dryer, and West Elm organic cotton towels. Even our products are meant to pamper and we feature Nexxus Therappe shampoo and conditioner, Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap, Dove moisturizing body wash, Angel Soft toilet paper, and Puffs Plus tissue.

In the private back yard, there is a table and chair set, as well as a grill with propane.

This home is ready for you to walk in, unpack, and begin your vacation!

Beautiful Home

Our family truly enjoyed our stay. The house is beautifully renovated with very thoughtful touches like blankets and bug spray on the front porch, a well equipped kitchen, and beach towels for swims. Perfect location with a short walk to shops and restaurants. The hosts were very welcoming and responsive.

Amazing!

I have reserved numerous properties via VRBO, and this is, hands down, my favorite! Location: perfect. Walking distance from the river, shopping, and restaurants. Property itself: beautiful! Better than the pictures. The inside was immaculate, and the porch was a wonderful, comfortable spot to relax. Check in was easy and the owner was very helpful. I would recommend this property 100%!!

Most convenient VRBO in Clayton

Rented both sides of this wonderful home. Host was very accommodating and friendly. Everything was easy and seamless. Communication through messaging was excellent. One listing did say there was a hot tub so that needs to be corrected since there is not, but other than that had a great stay! Thank you for tour kindness and prompt responses. Will look to you again for sure if we stay in Clayton. Thanks!

Perfect for an enjoyable stay in Clayton

The house is comfortably and tastefully furnished to a high standard with sufficient room to allow 6 adults to find their own space. The kitchen is well equipped with all the accessories that you could ever require to cook an enjoyable meal. The porch allows you the opportunity to enjoy the quiet neighborhood and the interior space was impeccably clean. The house is located within 2 blocks of the town center with an easy walk to the delights offered by Clayton. Should we return to Clayton, this would definitely be somewhere that would be delightful to stay there again.

Perfection

I’ve stayed in many rentals that look amazing in the photos and you get there to be a little disappointed with things not being as glamorous/clean. But this rental property was absolutely perfect, so so clean, so comfortable, and beautifully decorated. There is nothing that the hosts have not thought of. Honestly now that we’re back home, I find myself missing this house a little bit!! Haha

Excellent!

A very comfortable place to stay, close to the main strip in Clayton! We walked into town three of the four days of our stay. One day we drove up to Alexandria Bay, only 20 minutes away. Very clean, comfortable beds. Window unit ACs for each bedroom's comfort. Our only nits are things no one can control. Watch your head going up and down the stairs if you're above 5' 8" lol Lots of bugs Memorial day weekend, so be prepared for that. (Suzanne conveniently had bug spray on the porch!) This house would be perfect with an additional powder room on the first floor. Overall, highly recommend this as a place to stay!

Exceptional home!

This home was absolutely fantastic in every way! From the moment we walked in we were so impressed with the cleanliness and there are so many "extras" the owners had... snack jar, cold bottled water in the fridge, Kuerig coffee cups, fans in the bedrooms, the linens on the beds and the towels in the bathroom were top of the line. Just an awesome place and within walking distance to everything in town. We enjoyed the furniture on the porch very much. There were throws for the porch and even bug spray! We have stayed at other VBRO places in other towns and states but this one rates up on top for all the little things that the owners did to make our stay comfortable and nice. 5 stars aren't enough!

Memorable Clayton, NY

We had an absolutely fantastic 10 day vacation at your beautiful home. Everything was impeccable - clean, well-organized, and tastefully furnished with modern amenities. The location of the house was perfect for exploring the Clayton, NY area, as everything we needed was within walking distance. We particularly enjoyed the delightful coffee house, the scenic river walk, and the abundance of restaurants nearby. Our children were delighted by the thoughtful touch of the snack jar and the convenience of having a playground just a short walk/bike ride away. But what truly stood out to us was the extraordinary shower and the incredibly comfortable beds. Even after returning home, we can't stop raving about them! Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful vacation experience. We highly recommend your home to anyone looking for a memorable getaway in the Clayton, NY area.

Wonderful Home - Great Location

I wish we would’ve been able to stay longer! The location is perfect for getting to the river area where you will find places to eat and shop. I loved all the thoughtful touches in the home. Plenty of places to charge your phones - even out on the porch! There were cozy blankets for use on the porch. The coffee station and snacks were greatly appreciated. The shower was fabulous with the rainfall shower head and the body soap smelled amazing! We are hoping to get back to Clayton and this home again and hopefully stay a little longer.
