Nice little property, conveniently located. Really enjoyed Watertown and not a far drive to the wedding venue in Clayton. Great for a thousand island mini vacation. Place was nice with a lot of personality and a lot of nice perks from the host. Would strongly recommend!

Clancy's Apartment

I really enjoyed my stay at Clancy's apartment. She was a fantastic host and communicated well. She left lots of tasty snacks and drinks in the apartment for guests and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need, including coffee and fixings. The location is perfect; just a short walk to the downtown area and an easy drive to the highway for access to the lake and river areas. I would definitely recommend Clancy's apartment for your stay in Watertown.

Charming Victorian home with designer touches

The best place to stay in Watertown! Charming Victorian era home with designer touches and modern amenities make this the perfect location to enjoy all the sites in and near Watertown. Clancy is welcoming and ensured we had everything needed for a comfortable stay. We had a private, one bedroom apartment with a fully stocked kitchen in a beautiful part of Watertown. Just lovely!

Perfect!

My sister and I stayed for two nights while our dad was at Samaritan Medical Center. The apartment is absolutely wonderful. It’s very clean, well decorated and has everything you need. Clancy is an excellent host. She met us briefly upon our arrival to make sure we were comfortable. The apartment is stocked with more than I’ve experienced in a rental. She certainly is a super host! We will stay again.

Ideal!

Clancy is a welcoming and thoughtful host! Her communication before and during our stay was prompt and very kind. She absolutely has the gift of hospitality and it is clearly evident in her home. The amenities are beyond adequate and Clancy has thought of all the details travelers might need, use and enjoy while visiting. We very much appreciated the snack basket, filtered water and the extras in the fridge! The apartment was extremely clean and the linens were plentiful and like new. The neighborhood is delightful, quiet and in a great location for easily accessing Watertown and the beautiful, quaint towns along the St. Lawrence. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you, Clancy, for sharing your treasure of a home with us!
