About this property

Riverfront Cottage with Dock, Screened Porch and View

This modern riverfront cottage in the northern Adirondacks has a screened porch and wood burning fireplace, deck off the second floor and patio by the water. It is fully furnished and has fully equiped kitchen and linens are supplied. There is high-speed internet and a telephone. It is close to conveniences yet quiet and peaceful. You will enjoy fishing, canoeing, swimming, and nearby northern Adirondack lakes and towns. World class snow skiing is available nearby and it is close to five colleges and universities.


This is a friendly, peaceful area. There is the opportunity for quiet relaxation as well as numerous outdoor activities. We love the area and purchased this cottage as a retirement home. We hope someday to live there year round. Within an hour and a half of Ottawa Canada and Lake Placid New York.

Amazing cabin on the river with everything we needed to enjoy a long weekend visiting family. Comfortable, well- appointed, and located close to hiking! We grilled, canoed, and relaxed by the river. We will definitely look to book here again!

Incredible stay

From arrival to departure all was great, clean and a beautiful and home like feeling. Leaving was hard, I just wanted to stay a few more days. I look forward to returning and hope that it will be available. This was truly a memorable stay.

Peaceful escape

We rented over SLU graduation weekend and it was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of campus festivities. Quiet, peaceful and only a 20 min drive to campus.

We all said "wow" when we walked in!

We just had a great St. Lawrence graduation weekend staying at the house with two twenty-somethings, two grandparents and us. The house is much bigger and nicer than the photos look and the location was a convenient 20 minutes to SLU. The deck next to the river is relaxing, there's a great kitchen table for cards, and a big comfy new sectional in the living room. Very comfortable and highly recommended. Thank you!

Absolutely the best experience

We had the best time. We enjoyed everything about it. My husband and son fished, we went out on kayaks, we sat on the deck and just relaxed. The place is beautiful

We chose this location based on its listing and location to several North Country Colleges. The inside was very nice and clean and there were air conditioners available for comfort (it was a warm weekend).

Restful

We enjoyed our stay very much. Host was welcoming and very quick to answer any questions. It was nice and quiet with beautiful fall foliage as we sat by the river. We had some rain while there, but being able to have a fire inside made it very enjoyable. Two bathrooms, one on each floor is a definite plus. The beds were comfortable as was the furniture in the living room. Lots of places to go hiking with an abundance of waterfalls. All around an enjoyable stay!

Great potential but disappointing

This property has huge potential, but has been neglected. Great riverfront view, bedrooms and baths are decent, but kitchen had not been cleaned before we arrived. Grill is broken and unusable. Mold growing under and near kitchen sink. We spent our first night cleaning and repairing broken items. Outside deck area is spacious, but hadn’t been swept or cared for. Bath towels are old, living room furniture is old and smells like sweat. Black silt deposits in tub and sinks. Owners were available and are aware of this feedback.

Could’ve been so much better with a couple updates

We arrived after dark and it was very difficult getting ourselves and our luggage into the place as there wasn’t much lighting outside and no one had left a light on inside for us. The lock box with the key was not the easiest to use (and honestly, the place could have REALLY benefited from a keyless entry pad). Additionally, there was no paved path to get to the front door - just a moved grass path which was better than nothing. The beds were comfortable (which we also had to put sheets on ourselves) but the light in the upstairs bedroom wouldn’t go off unless we turned off the whole ceiling fan, making the evenings quite stuffy. There was also no furniture on the balcony so we couldn’t really use it. Maybe we were just one of the last ones to rent this place for the season, but it just seemed like there were a lot of things in need of repair.

Nice Out of the Way Property

A little confused upon arriving maybe the roads and turns and finding the entrance perhaps a welcome sign over the door would help. Everything else was very good. Lots of room well supplied the deck and river with view was great. Watch that first step though! Bathroom on each floor is always welcome. No problem getting someone on the phone as needed. A little further from the thousand island attractions and tours than we planned on. However those areas may have been more crowded than we would like as well. I would recommend this place to anyone. Pricing was right for the property. If it were my place I’d change a few things but it’s not.

Quiet and scenic

The location is excellent with a beautiful view of the Raquette River. Very nice home with comfortable bed and everything we needed. The exterior of the house, the yard and landscaping has been neglected and contrasts significantly with the very well maintained properties on either side, which was slightly embarrassing but we enjoyed our stay nevertheless. Did not meet the owner but they were available by telephone when needed.

Our stay

We are senior citizens and loved the property but we had a lot of trouble with the very low toilets and couldn’t get into the water because of the high step down from the deck stairs We went swimming at stoner park
