Beautiful setting and place. Would definitely visit again. Only suggestion, the scents were strong for someone sensitive to them… plug-ins, dryer sheets in the bedroom. Everything else was perfect.

Perfect! Very clean comfortable small home. Beautiful, serene property on a beautiful quiet point of the Racquette River. Miles of beautiful pine needle covered hiking trails along the river just steps away. Great location, pretty short drive to campuses, restaurants, convenience stores. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay at this Potsdam rental! The house was clean, cozy, and very comfortable, making it easy to relax right away. The location was excellent—close to everything we needed, yet quiet enough to feel like a getaway. Communication with the host was top-notch; they were responsive, helpful, and truly thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable. From small touches to the overall setup, it’s clear the host cares about their guests’ experience. I would absolutely recommend this property and look forward to staying here again!

Beautiful Spot

The house was very clean, and had everything you would need! The beds were extremely comfortable, and the whole house was very cozy. The front of the house has big windows looking out over the River; it was a beautiful view and such a sweet little spot to spend a few days. There is a very nice hiking trail less than 1/2 mile away. We reached out to the owner about a concern and she was very communicative and helpful! A great stay; would highly recommend.

Perfect little getaway

The cabin was exactly as described. The property was super clean when we arrived. The kitchen and bathroom were very thoughtfully stocked with staple items. The 2 queen beds were very comfortable (we didn’t use the bunk bed to review it) The view of the river was gorgeous and the fireplace in the living room was very effective. The property manager was very responsive. We had a wonderful cozy week at the cabin of the Raquette River. Thank you!
