About this property

Beth's Place - On the River - W/ Hot Tub, Pickleball Court & Putting Green

Beth's Place - celebrating 10 years in business in 2024 - offers complete privacy on the ground floor of our home. It includes a cozy bedroom with a queen-size bed, a spacious living room with a queen-size sleeper sofa, a well-equipped kitchen with all the essentials for meal preparation, a dining area, and even a gas grill for outdoor cooking. The space also features a nice full bathroom with a tub/shower, towels, basic toiletries, a private entrance, and ample parking. Additionally, we can arrange two twin beds in the living room, accommodating up to 6 guests comfortably. There is a washer and dryer in the unit for convenience.

Guests will enjoy two private outdoor areas – one facing the putting green and pickleball court (installed 9/2023) in the front and another at the back with a grill, hot tub, and a river view. The hot tub is open year-round and is exclusively for the current guests of the unit. Our other unit, Beth's Place II, also has its own private hot tub. The igloo in the backyard is open year-round and shared with guests of the other unit, featuring string lights, seating, and a heater for colder months.

Beth's Place II is situated on the same property as Beth's Place, offering an alternative for different dates or to accommodate more guests.

Please note, we have a small dog on the upper floors of the house who is usually quiet but may bark briefly to announce arrivals.

Our property boasts a putting green and pickleball court in the front yard and access to the Raquette River at the back. The trail to the river has handrails on steep sections. Guests can enjoy kayaks, a fire pit, and a private beach by the river, with a swimmable stretch of the Raquette River (water shoes recommended) leading to downtown Potsdam. Kayaking is available from May to November, and we convert the putting green during snowy months.

Wonderland
The property was close to St. Lawrence, where my daughter goes to school. It offered a nice living area with a full kitchen and laundry. The outdoor space was amazing. An Igloo where we played games while being outside and out of the snowy cold. The hot tub was a great treat after being out in the cold or playing pickleball all day. I was able to hide easter eggs on their gorgeous property, for my daughter, that went from the hot tub down the long path to the river. We felt comfortable taking walks on the property and relaxing with all the wonderful amenities. The host was helpful and friendly. This place was a complete wonderland.

Wonderful stay!
Beth's place is fully stocked with all the necessities and more. Very clean and neat apartment in a quiet location. The leaves had just started to turn, and the view to the river showed a burst of fall foliage (something we never tire of, even being from NH). Beth was super responsive but never intrusive. We'll be back!

Five Stars, ONLY because I’m not allowed to give six.
Everything was perfect. Clean, well kept, well maintained. Very tasteful decor with plenty of amenities. And thorough! They thought of everything. Everything we needed; with expectations exceeded even after reading all the positive reviews beforehand. Immediately, my husband and I had a sense of understanding of their values upon entering the property. Prideful people who truly care about providing a top quality experience. A true understanding and display of hospitality. With everything else booked for several miles they had every opportunity to “price gouge” if they chose. Instead?... A VERY reasonable rate. Plenty bang for your buck, to understate things. They checked in with us daily to see if we needed anything. Our children enjoyed the outdoors with kayaking, fishing, the hot tub, etc. It was the perfect mini vacation for our family. Thank you Beth and Jim for a wonderful stay, and for such high quality service that your personality shines through with it! See you again!

Beth is an amazing host - so helpful in every way. The unit is spacious, beautiful and clean. She thinks of everything! Next time we are in Pottsdam we will be back!

Great stay at Beths place
My wife and I were looking for a weekend away and found this place mainly due to the hot tub and location. This exceeded our expectations and owner was very kind and welcoming. This place is attached to owners home but they give you your own space and you can hardly tell anyone else is living there.

So lucky to find this place!
On a trip to visit our grandson and see him play his last high school football season, we stayed at Beth's Place for 10 days. The place was spacious and beautiful inside and outside. The private patio area outside with our own personal hot tub was gorgeous. The inside was beautifully decorated and Beth thought of everything we might need - even a laundry room which was helpful for our long stay. We will definitely stay here again next time we come to Pottsdam. Highly reccomended!

Beth & Jim are the perfect hosts for your stay. They are willing to accommodate your every need. Super friendly!!! Wish I had more time to enjoy the hot tub and fire pit along with everything else they offered. Next time maybe I won't be working on a reunion when I stay with them. It's like staying with family. Can't say enough about them. Thanks Beth & Jim for everything.

The perfect balance between nature and luxury
Staying at Beth's place was a DREAM! Everything from check-in to check-out was clearly detailed and the place was stunning. It was a perfect getaway for my husband and I. The apartment itself was beautiful, yet for us, was nothing in comparison to the gorgeous, and private outdoor space. Beth and her husband have truly thought of everything, and were readily available for any additional needs throughout our stay! We would absolutely stay with them again, and have already recommend the place to several others. Thanks again to you both!

Perfect!
My husband and I stayed at Beth's Place while we visited our daughter who attends Clarkson. The place is just beautiful and very comfortable. We used the kitchen (hotplate and toaster oven) to cook for our daughter and she spent the night with us as well. Beth was super easy to communicate with, which we really appreciated as our travel plans were changed a few times because of a winter storm. Thanks so much for a great visit. We will be back!

Gem in Potsdam NY
This beautifully decorated apartment was perfect respite for a very busy visit to help move family. We wish we had more time to enjoy it as well as the view from the back yard. The walk down to the river seems a bit further than I guessed from the pictures, but the view from the yard was awesome. And we were pressed for time - otherwise I would have happily taken that walk everyday. Only 2 (at most) miles from town. Overall exceptional - we wish we had found earlier. Thank you to hosts Beth and Jim

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.
