"Beth’s Place is a beautiful location right on the river. We’ve stayed at both locations & Beth has covered all the details - bathrobes for warm transitions from the hot tub, strategic nightlights for navigating in the dark & oatmeal & coffee for breakfast. The options for kayaking & putt putt on site put it on our short list for every Potsdam visit."

"We truly enjoyed our stay. Hopefully during our next visit we will be able to take advantage of all the great amenities on the property. We were dropping our son off for his first year at Clarkson during this initial visit so we had a lot going on. Everything was as stated, super clean which is very important to us and ample parking (which is another plus with a big truck (and traveling with 2 cars this time). They are also close to many great local restaurants and numerous attractions that are a reasonable driving distance for day trips!"
