Family gathering

Our family was gathering to commemorate the passing of relatives who loved the Adirondacks. The house and grounds were a lovely and comfortable backdrop for this occasion. We enjoyed the beauty of the surroundings as well as the amenities in Potsdam including the Children's Museum.

Gem of a spot

This was our 2nd stay at this location, we have a third stay already booked. The owners quickly respond to questions and continually work to improve the residence. We were able to use the dock and enjoy the water this stay. House is comfortable, well equipped and overall a gem of a spot!

Quiet and Peaceful

Nice and quiet neighborhood on the lake. Great views in the early mornings. Very clean and roomy house. Two downfalls were a couple amenities that were listed were not available and we'd of preferred the swing set on the same side as the house, so the kids didn't have to cross the road.

Family vacation

There were 4 adults, 2 kids and a dog in our group. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was so nice to be right on the water so we could canoe and fish. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. We all enjoyed our stay at the lake!

Family Reunion

The water views are wonderful, and having our morning coffee outside was a great way to start the day! The house was fabulous with everything we could possibly want supplied. It was fun kayaking and hiking local areas (ex. Lampson Waterfall). Todd was very easy to reach when I had a question. Highly recommend this property, and we hope to be back next year!

Clean House and Great Stay

The property was as advertised, very clean and well maintained. Nice, quiet location to go boating, fishing and kayaking. Dog friendly was a plus. Property manager was very representative. The check in, check out process was easy. A few close restaurants were enjoyable and a large Walmart for groceries or forgotten items wasn't far away. Overall a pleasant time for a week get away.

Great place for us

The place was clean, quiet and in a friendly neighborhood. I was able to catch a few fish off the dock. We all enjoyed swimming and the dock for sun. The place had everything for a Bar-B-Que and was close enough to town for a few short trips.

Clarkson Graduation Weekend

We had a wonderful time! We were busy with graduation events and were kinda sad we did not get to enjoy all this property had to offer. Luckily, though, our daughter has a remote job and will be living in Canton post graduation, so who knows, we may be back! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home!

The view is amazing!!

The home was very clean and the owners thought of everything right down to a well thought out junk drawer! The view was absolutely amazing. The area is quiet and peaceful. We were only there for a weekend for a wedding at The Stables. Potsdam is only 15 min away. We were able to bring our dogs and the owners even had a dog run and a cable set up. I wish we were there for longer to enjoy the dock and kayaks. The deck on the back of the home is spacious and even has a Blackstone grill you can use. There were 6 of us plus 2 dogs and we were not in the least bit crowded! A wonderful stay!
