Beautiful and relaxing

We booked this location because it is in the path of totality for the solar eclipse in April 2024. The accuracy of the listing is spot on. The host is very responsive and very helpful.We only had one question and that was what the wifi password was because we didn't see it on the fridge. LOL! The property is absolutely stunning.The view from the back deck is gorgeous.The house was immaculate and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Dexter, NY area! Thanks Suzie for being a great host!

Weekend Fishing Trip with the Fellas!

The property is amazing and you couldn’t ask for a better location! You can pretty much roll out of bed and start fishing. The host was attentive while still giving us space. Will definitely recommend and will hope to stay again in the future. Thanks again for the great weekend!

Beautiful home & great hosts

We needed a pup friendly home to stay at while visiting our best friends. Our host was gracious enough to let us have a "Friendsgiving" there as my friends home doesn't have the capacity. The home was gorgeous, everything we needed and the backyard view was beautiful. Suzie and Dean's home gave us memories to cherish forever.

Highly recommend

What a cute cottage with every item you could possibly need at your fingertips. The home was clean and Suzie did all she could to make sure my 83 year old mom was comfortable. The town is cute to walk around to see salmon fishermen and a bait shop by the boat ramp. Watertown is an easy 10 minute ride with some old time restaurants and a cool park at the top of a big hill that offers fabulous views. We hope to return.

Fishing Trip for the guys

The house was very nicely decorated and very well equipped with anything you could possibly need for a wonderful vacation. We were able to enjoy comfortable breakfasts in the kitchen while enjoying meals in the dining room. It was in a great location and close to shopping and great restaurants. Would highly recommend this place for your stay near the Black River!

Beautiful setting

Beautiful place. I would love to come back in the spring to do some more fishing. The owners were really good at communicating with me and were willing to provide anything else I needed. The house already had everything you could want. It was a good time catching up with my siblings.

Updated and clean

Updated and clean house that exceeded expectations in Dexter. Large private backyard and view of the river. Interior was very clean and well setup. Garage access was much appreciated during the sudden snow storm. Will most certainly book again.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Harrison

We are a retired military family, who, after spending 30 years moving, decided to settle in the beautiful North Country. We love all activities outdoors - fishing, camping, hiking, biking - and this area is perfect for all of those!

Why they chose this property

This house is so special to us. It is a solidly constructed home which we have lovingly upgraded over the years. The view of the river is spectacular, both from the house and ON the river. Above the dam (behind the house), is hands down some of the most scenic views of the Black River. Below the dam is incredible fishing (pic is of coho salmon caught behind the house in October '22), with access to Black River Bay and out to Lake Ontario.
