Spectacular

My only complaint is that the photos on the listing just don’t do this place justice at all ! The location is spectacular, the house is deceptively roomy with plenty of space (even for the couple of rainy days we were stuck inside) for our family of 5 including three teens - the lake, kayaking, swimming was amazing, the friendly chipmunk visitors every day were a huge hit - the house is the best kitted out of any property I have ever stayed in and everything is thought of. Near to Colton and Potsdam for anything you need or just hang out at the lake. Fire pit nights were huge fun and overall one of the best family vacations we have had - while I’d rather keep it to ourselves, to be fair to our fantastic hosts, I have to give it my strongest recommendation- just stay there, you won’t regret it.

Piece of heaven

Immensely enjoyed home and surroundings. Having access to lake, views and peaceful environment was appreciated by all. We brought 2 inflatable paddle boards and used the 2 available kayaks. We swam and fished off the dock and had relay races to small island and back. Wonderful vacation for for most any group. Hope to return before too long!! Great and receptive hosts!!

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 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!
