We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean and very tastefully decorated with many amenities. The water views were spectacular! Fishing was great and the swimming was enjoyable. We think our dogs had more fun than we did in the water!

Property has a lovely view of the river, maybe the best, in my opinion.Outside deck furniture is very comfortable and plentiful. Interior is nicely decorated in keeping with the waterfront, Adirondack theme. House was extremely clean. Owners thought of everything to make my stay easier and more comfortable. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

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!!
