Lovely cottage, great location, and a very kind host

This cottage is in the perfect location within walking distance to everything you could want to visit in downtown Clayton. It was clean and simple, just what we needed for a weekend of hiking. The host, Charles, is a kind man who came out to greet us and chatted with us briefly. Wonderful stay, we hope to return!

Charles was an exceptional host. The cottage was perfect for my stay. It was very clean and very cozy. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice. The location is outstanding. It is literally 2 blocks from maine st. It takes 4 minutes to walk to the restaurants. I rode my motorcycle to Clayton, and it was fantastic to have the garage to park my bike in. I come to Clayton regularly and will definitely use the cottage again. Thanks Charles.

Google maps doesn't take you directly to the address. The house is at the end of the single lane street and the address is near their front door. A little hard to see in the dark.
