Wooden Boat Inn

What a gem! I'm a sucker for a boutique and Pia has executed it beautifully. When we visit Clayton, we just need a place to sleep and shower- otherwise we're enjoying all that the 1000 Islands has to offer. The Wooden Boat Inn is located right in town- walkable to the main strip as well as the playground. We stayed in the "Schitty Room" themed after one of my favorite shows, Schitt's Creek. It's hilariously perfect. Clean and very comfortable. There's a patio/firepit area, and complimentary coffee and snacks (and umbrellas, sunscreen, bug spray... anything you could need). Check in and check out are simple (keyless entry). Pia has created such a calming and welcoming space and I'm thrilled to have discovered it!

We were in the room with the bees, so cool. It even had a record player and classic albums we played, what a nice thought, it was a great start to our vacation! Thanks so much!

We had a wonderful stay here. Pia, the owner, was incredibly helpful to complete our booking over phone on 4th of July because I didn’t have enough cell reception to do it online. We stayed in the green room, which was adorable and cozy. The back patio area with grills was perfect for having dinner. Great location too, you can walk to the river, restaurants, ice cream, all within 5-10 min. If we are ever in Clayton again, we would definitely stay here!

I could not recommend this place more! My mom and I spent a couple nights here and it was the perfect stay. The places are newly done and stunning! Pia (the owner) showed us the other rooms that didn’t have guests and they were all beautifully decorated and had their own themes. There’s even and outdoor space with a fire pit that is decorated warmly and welcoming. Pia’s hospitality was next level and we would recommend this place to anyone stopping in Clayton. We would stay here again and actually have plans to visit Clayton just to stay at the property. Thank you Pia!!

This Clayton gem is a wonderful place to stay.. clean updated rooms. Each room with a theme. The owner, Pia, is the hostess with the most! The location is perfect. Walking to the "strip" and all the shops and restaurants. The patio area feels like you your away from it all. Super relaxing. We have been back several times, and will be back several more. Clayton gained a superb establishment when Pia took over!

Absolutely amazing. The owner is a wealth of knowledge understanding and appreciation of the authenticity. Accommodations for all!!! See you soon!! 🍎

We had a great stay here at the Wooden Boat Inn. We stayed in the Viking Room which was nicely decorated. The linens were clean, and the bed was comfortable. Pia made it super easy with check-in and check-out both being contactless. The location is excellent since you can walk to restaurants, shopping on James St., and the marina. Thanks for a nice experience!

My wife and I had one of the best times the night we stayed here. We met PIA and hit it off wonderfully. She took the time to sit with us and we exchanged in some great conversation and by the end of the day we are great friends. We booked another weekend at the end of September and we are planning to stay a full week next year..

If you are looking for a place to stay while in Clayton, look no further. Every single room is incredible. The proprietor, Pia was very welcoming and helpful with letting us know about fun things to do and great places to eat. We will definitely be back!

This is a great boutique motel for those exploring Clayton! The rooms are individually designed with themes such as honeycomb or jungle green or even a replica of Shitts Creek!! The owner was great service and really put her heart and soul into it. Very nice for couples or quiet singles. Coffee nook by the firepit was great and you can play badminton in the evening! Ac worked wonderfully. Bed was a little hard if I had to give it some critique. But if youre walking and boating youll be asleep in minutes. Support local!

Great little place, especially for a couple who don't plan on spending much time in the room. The rooms are clean and comfortable and I'm sitting in a recliner in our room as I write this.. The owners, Bernie and Valerie, are extremely gracious and make you feel like family. The town of Clayton is great and the residents very friendly. The surrounding area has a lot to offer. Would love to come back and stay here anytime.

The room, while small, was neat, nicely decorated and well laid out with all the essentials. It reminded me of being in a boat stateroom. I loved the whimsical honey comb theme. The lady proprietor was very nice and engaging. The room even has a record player and records for a nostalgic experience.

Our family of 6 stayed in the house. 2 King beds and 2 twin beds worked great for us. Pia the manager was very accommodating and accessible. We really like the outside sitting area in the back of the property and the little hit with a Keuring machine and sitting area. There was room to park our 2 cars in a designated area.

We were on our way home from Wellesley Island and decided to stay the night in Clayton. But where? Lots of little motels. We rolled the dice and checked out the Wooden Boat Inn. Score! We rented the house cause that’s all they had left (popular place apparently). We were not disappointed. Very clean, modern with that river decor that has the cozy look, and well stocked with everything you need. Very close to restaurants and attractions down in the town. The boat house is just down around the corner which has excellent food. The Inn has a lovely private patio area with a fireplace and a huge tree that sheds everything. This place is a gem!

This place is wonderful! We had such a great stay - it’s very well kept, clean and very relaxing. There’s a guest kitchen with coffee and a great back patio that we were able to enjoy. It’s only a block away from the Wood Boat Brewery and the antique boat museum. Just about a block from those locations is the ‘main’ street of Clayton, which has a variety of restaurants, great shops and a local winery’s shop. It’s a great location and everything downtown is within walking distance. Berny was great; when we arrived he took the time to tell us the ‘must go to’ places and even marked them out on a map. You can tell they really take pride in this place and the town. This is a stay and trip that we will always remember!

Had a great stay at the Inn. The place was charming and I was pleasantly surprised by the charm of the Inn, It is very clean and comfortable, a welcome change from chain hotels!!! I will definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

My husband and I are new to the area and decide to check out Clayton for a staycation. The owners, Bernie and Valerie were a wealth of information about the area. Hotel is walking distance from the delicious restaurants and shops in downtown Clayton. The rooms are clean and shared amenities are thoughtful. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Got in late to Clayton and and the weather was poor so we decided to stay in Clayton at the last minute. We found this little place online. It's located within walking distance of downtown and the marina. The room was clean and comfy. Owner was friendly and we enjoyed our stay.

Super clean and incredible place to stay just off the st Lawrence River! Plenty of things to do and lots of places to see! The owner and manager are great and very nice! Super accommodating and helpful. Highly recommend staying here If you Have the opportunity. I would choose the wooden boat inn over other establishments in the area

Even though there aren't any frills; like a pool or continental breakfast, it was still a pleasant experience staying at this inn. It was in a quiet neighborhood and the room was very clean. The proprietors and staff were very friendly and helpful with my travel plans.
