About Sunnybunk

A small place
with a slow rhythm

Sunnybunk sits on Grindstone Island in the St. Lawrence River, just off the coast of Clayton, New York. We are not a resort. We are a quiet lodging for people who want a clean room, a kind welcome, and the sound of water against the shore.

Whether you are passing through on the way north, fishing the river, or simply looking for a night away from the noise, Sunnybunk gives you a place to rest that feels like home.

The Experience

What makes Sunnybunk
worth your time

We don't offer a bell desk or a breakfast buffet. What we offer is something rarer — space, silence, and the honest warmth of people who mean it when they say welcome.

Riverfront Setting

Grindstone Island is a quiet ribbon of land in the St. Lawrence. Our rooms face the water, and the sound of waves is the only alarm you'll need.

Simple & Clean

No clutter, no fuss. Fresh sheets, a clean bathroom, warm light. We take pride in the details that matter most after a long day of traveling.
