Clean and spacious 3 bedroom ranch between Cranberry & Tupper Lakes

Clean and spacious 3 bedroom ranch between Cranberry & Tupper Lakes

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed as a family of four (2 kids) and we all loved it. It was clean, the kitchen had a wide selection of dishes and cooking pans, and everything was well-explained in the check-in information. On the counter after check-in, the host provided a binder with even more information about the house and local places and things to do. Everything was as described in the listing. When we had a question, the host was friendly and responsive. We plan to stay again!"

"Only suggestion I have is that each room should have a luggage rack and clothes rack for hanging items on.Because you no longer have a meal service, maybe to the folder on the table a list of restaurants near by could be added.Loved the layout of the facility and the book with remembrance of Old Inn and introduction of the New Inn to build more fond memories in."

Oswegatchie River Cabin w/ Kayaks + Fire Pit!

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic stay here! Our whole family (grandparents, 3 adult children and 6 grandchildren) absolutely loved the amenities and all that this property offered. Kids ranged in age from infant to 12 with the majority 9 and under. The water was accessible but with a huge rolling yard between the waters edge and the house, it made it feel very safe with all of the little ones. Plenty of water activities to do: tubes for riding down the river (a huge hit for us!), plenty of kayaks to use and fishing off the dock (you’ll need to bring your own equipment for this). We were never bored!! A huge beautiful deck facing the water (but also wraps around the whole house and the kids loved running laps) was also well-used by our group. A bonus area in the garage with a ping pong table was the kids favorite place to hang out during downtimes. Such a relaxing atmosphere inside and out. Probably our only concern was the inability to cool the upstairs room where the majority of kids slept along with 2 adults. We brought bigger fans with us and that made it doable but still warm. But other than that, we wouldn’t change a thing and everyone wants to go back next year!!"
