About this property

Beth's Place II - On The River - Hot Tub & New Pickleball Court! You'll love it!

Beth’s Place II (new March 2020) It’s beautifully appointed, completely private, and located on the second floor above the garage of our home.

It features a bedroom with a comfy queen-sized bed with a river view, TV, and closet storage. A spacious living room with a sleeper twin sofa, a pull-down full-size Murphy bed, TV, two swivel chairs, and an electric fireplace with a great light show. A well-equipped kitchen with everything you need to prepare a meal, including a full-size stove, dishes, and a dining area. A lovely full bath with a washer and dryer, towels, wash clothes, and your basic toiletries, a private entrance with 14 steps to the door, and ample parking.

Guest can enjoy their private apartment with its private entrance all to themselves.

We know you will love the private outside space with a hot tub, chairs, fire pit, grill, and beautiful lights at night.

Our property is pretty nice too! We have a putting green and a brand new pickleball court in the front yard and the Raquette river out back. The trail down to the river has handrails where it can be a bit steep. We also have kayaks and fire pit down by the river for guests to enjoy along with a private beach. Our stretch of the Raquette River is swimmable (we do recommend water shoes) and goes all the way to downtown Potsdam. You can park your kayak and enjoy all that Potsdam has to offer, and when you're finished, you can kayak downstream back home. Kayaking is available May through November and we cover the putting green once it snows.

Please note that the igloo is shared with our other unit on the property, Beth's Place.

Like I mentioned, we have another bed and breakfast on our property if you are looking for different dates or to accommodate more people. It's called Beth's Place.

Beautiful home away from home
We came up to Potsdam to visit our daughter who is a college student and this home made our whole trip so special! Beth’s place was spotless and everything in this home was so well appointed. The space had everything we needed and more! The mattress was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep. The jacuzzi was a great extra feature and Beth provided robes, towels and flip flops which made going outside in the cold winter weather actually enjoyable. The property was beautiful and serene surrounded by nature. The rental had a lot of privacy and I would recommend this location wholeheartedly. We will definitely come back! Thank you Beth and Jim for an incredible experience! Chis and Jenna.

Phenomenal stay
Can’t brag enough about this amazing property! Clean, homey, very well managed and very thoughtful in all details! We did not take advantage of pickleball or kayaking but did putt on green and prepped a fire but rain hindered that. Extremely well stocked and 4 nights didn’t seem long enough. Great to have space for our student to visit and to prep food,as local eateries can close early. Will definitely stay again or visit another “Beth’s” property in town!

Incredible property with so much to offer
​This property looks exactly as stated in the descriptions, as well as in the photos. The space is well thought out and amazing. We came in to visit our son who goes to SUNY Potsdam. We had a relaxing time and enjoyed many of the outdoor amenities. We invited his friends over to enjoy a home-cooked meal, to play some pickleball, and to make smores! A well-deserved break from campus life. THANK YOU, Beth and Jim.

Wish I would have found this sooner
This place is absolutely perfect for any visit to Clarkson! So clean and comfortable and only four minutes away from campus. Wish I would have found this on our first visit. It is close, yet so relaxing by the river with so many things to do to relax. Beth, the host, is very kind and helpful for absolutely anything you may need. Definitely recommend to any first year parents for a perfect place to stay throughout your childs college events throughout the years!

Perfect get away
Beth's place is exactly what is advertised. A great modern, clean home with all the amenities. Because of the rain we weren't able to get out on the water because of flooding, but having the firepit, igloo and hot tub we didn't even miss it. We will definitely be back again!

Relaxing
Very relaxing and quiet property. In a very convenient location but also out far enough that you feel like your not right in potsdam. The hot tub was a hit but just wish it was not such a very steep hill to the water access. The picture looks like a private beach but we were not able to swim it. Overall our stay was very relaxing!

Perfect Location with Great Accommodations
Our stay at this VRBO property was fantastic! The location couldn't have been better – it provided easy access to both the stunning Thousand Islands and the breathtaking Adirondacks. Whether we wanted to explore scenic trails, enjoy water activities, or simply relax, everything was conveniently close. The accommodations were superb, offering all the comforts of home. The property was clean, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was fully equipped, making meal preparation a breeze. The living spaces were cozy and inviting. If we didn't want to go far, the outside area and river were perfect for a day of fun. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive, making our stay even more enjoyable. We appreciated the thoughtful touches and the detailed information provided about the area, which helped us make the most of our trip. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable getaway with the perfect balance of comfort and convenience. We can't wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Beth Reasoner

Host profile image
My name is Beth Reasoner, and my husband Jim and I have been residents of Potsdam, NY, for most of our lives. We keep ourselves busy by managing our apartment rental business, a business that we've been running in Potsdam for more than 25 years.

One day, my husband had the idea to convert the first floor of our home into a bed and breakfast. We opened for business three weeks later and named our establishment Beth's Place. This year, 2024, we are celebrating ten years of operation. We have had hundreds of reservations from people all over the world. In March 2020, we expanded our business by opening our second bed and breakfast, Beth's Place II, located above our garage. We take pride in maintaining our places in excellent condition, ensuring that they are clean, well-equipped, and beautiful. We are confident that you will love staying at either one of our bed and breakfasts.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I originally purchased this home to finish and then sell. While working on the home, we fell in love with the property and the river and decided to sell our house and move in.

What makes this property unique

There is lots to do on our property. We have a putting green and a new pickleball court (installed on 9/2023) for our guests to enjoy. And our stretch of the Raquette River flows right to the village of Potsdam. So kayaking to the town for dinner or shopping is a must from June to November.
