A Charming Historic Retreat in the Heart of the 1000 Islands
Clayton Mulberry Cottage Rental invites visitors to experience the magic of historic Clayton, New York, the cultural center of the scenic 1000 Islands region. This lovingly preserved bed and breakfast cottage dates back to the 1800s and holds a special place on the Clayton Walking Tour Map. Most importantly, it offers travelers an authentic way to stay while exploring one of America’s most celebrated vacation destinations along the St. Lawrence River.
What Makes This Cottage Special
The cottage comfortably accommodates up to five guests across three bedrooms. Two beautifully decorated private bedrooms upstairs feature double beds, while a third bedroom downstairs offers a single bed with charming flowered chintz. Because the property welcomes families and pets alike—both dogs and cats—it becomes an ideal home base for visitors traveling with loved ones of all kinds.

Every detail speaks to comfort and care. Decorator wallpapers, antique lace curtains, and quality mattresses create a welcoming atmosphere. Downstairs, guests relax in a soft-cushioned living room with twin club chairs and ottomans, then enjoy meals in a large, airy dining room. In addition, the full kitchen allows guests to prepare their own meals when desired.
Amenities and Conveniences
This fully air-conditioned cottage comes equipped with practical touches that matter. Ample off-street parking accommodates regular vehicles—and even boats with trailers. A shaded yard and screened porch provide outdoor relaxation space. Besides that, free WiFi keeps guests connected, and a TV-DVD player offers indoor entertainment on quieter evenings.
A complimentary breakfast featuring fresh fruits and homemade muffins starts each day on a delicious note. The local market sits just one block away for snacks, beverages, and other supplies.
Your Gateway to 1000 Islands Adventures
Location proves everything here. Within a short walk, guests discover the Antique Boat Museum with its famous annual in-water boat show, the historic Thousand Islands Museum, and the 1000 Islands Art Center. Therefore, cultural enthusiasts find endless inspiration without traveling far.
Water lovers have equally exceptional options. Visitors can book St. Lawrence River boat tours to explore the islands, rent kayaks for personal exploration, or charter fishing boats for musky hunting. As a result of the river’s world-renowned water clarity and numerous shipwrecks, scuba diving attracts enthusiasts from across the globe.
Beyond water activities, dining ranges from casual to fine, concerts grace local parks, dinner-theater entertains, and charming shops line the streets. The famous 1000 Islands International Bridge sits just minutes away, making day trips to Canada a simple and rewarding addition to any itinerary.

Whether seeking cultural enrichment, outdoor adventure, or simply a peaceful escape in a historic setting, this cottage delivers an unforgettable 1000 Islands experience.
