Clayton has many great restaurants, a coffee shop, gift shops, mini golf, wineries , and more. Very cute town to see. I love Bella’s, so consider stopping there.

Very nice Vineyard. There is also a Coyote Moon store in Clayton. At the store, they do wine boat tours and tastings. Tip: Their Razzle Dazzle Raspberry wine can be substituted for water in brownie mix and it tastes AMAZING!

Food scene
Price Chopper is the closest full grocery store to the lake house that I would recommend. If you only need a couple of odds and ends there is a Dollar General in Theresa, NY that is closer. Because of the Airbnb's remote location you will want to have a few groceries on hand.

Bella's is one of my personal favorites. It has a full coffee shop with lattes etc., a great selection of food, and you can sit on a patio overlooking the river. Adorable. Only open for breakfast and lunch and it is closed in the winter.

Cavallario's Pizza
01 James StreetGreat pizza, panini's, and THE BEST cannoli's. Order in or take out.
One of my favorite restaurants for a "special" night out. My husband and I go here for anniversaries and Valentine's day. The last time we were there they had a special 5 course meal from ahi tuna for the appetizer to crème brule for dessert. IT WAS WORTH EVERY CALORIE. They also have a brick oven for pizza and really good wings.
