On the Black River - close to awesome fishing!
Charming home built in 1900 with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths in a perfect location- close to Thousand Islands, Fort Drum and Canada. Main floor bedroom has double bed with en suite bathroom. Screened in pavilion is perfect for al fresco dining.
Very peaceful home with incredible views of the Black River. Relax on the back deck or around the firepit on cool evenings!
Adorable little village - within walking distance to an ice cream shop, diner, pub and amazing fishing!
Notes: stairs leading to second floor are a tad steep and as an old farmhouse, ceilings tend to be lower. During the summer months, there will be weekly lawn care. There is a $75 pet fee. If not disclosed at the time of booking, it will be an additional charge upon checkout. Smoking is not allowed inside the home/sunroom. If the rule is violated, a $250 deep cleaning fee will be charged.
**Disclosure: we have one Ring camera mounted to the garage facing front door and one facing the driveway strictly for security purposes.

The house was very nicely decorated and very well equipped with anything you could possibly need for a wonderful vacation. We were able to enjoy comfortable breakfasts in the kitchen while enjoying meals in the dining room. It was in a great location and close to shopping and great restaurants. Would highly recommend this place for your stay near the Black River!

The property is amazing and you couldn’t ask for a better location! You can pretty much roll out of bed and start fishing. The host was attentive while still giving us space. Will definitely recommend and will hope to stay again in the future. Thanks again for the great weekend!

This house is just perfect - very well supplied with anything you could need, kitchen is a dream and just loved the old wood floors and pocket doors. Great views of the Black River, great yard, walking distance to coffee shop and ice cream stand. Great little town to walk around.

Excellent stay while we waited for our new house. Property is much bigger than it looks in the pictures and very comfortable. Hosts were very communicative and kind. Definitely recommend this for anyone staying in Dexter. It's gorgeous!

Beautiful place. I would love to come back in the spring to do some more fishing. The owners were really good at communicating with me and were willing to provide anything else I needed. The house already had everything you could want. It was a good time catching up with my siblings.

This home was exactly what we were looking for. The owner has furnished this house with everything you might need, including extras. Her attention to detail was apparent in every room. All the appliances and A/C functioned perfectly. The rooms are comfortable and the decor is like a trip around the world. We would stay there again without hesitation. Plus, it is dog-friendly which is very important to us. Suzie even had dog biscuits waiting for our pooch.

The pictures done even do this property justice!! House is absolutely beautiful, everything you need is there and was super clean! Owner was extremely responsive and wonderful! I brought my daughter for her 13th bday, and she even left a card and cake for her! Super close to Cape Vincent, and whitewater challengers is 5 minutes away. Already can't wait to go back!!

Updated and clean house that exceeded expectations in Dexter. Large private backyard and view of the river. Interior was very clean and well setup. Garage access was much appreciated during the sudden snow storm. Will most certainly book again.

We booked this location because it is in the path of totality for the solar eclipse in April 2024. The accuracy of the listing is spot on.
The host is very responsive and very helpful.We only had one question and that was what the wifi password was because we didn't see it on the fridge. LOL!
The property is absolutely stunning.The view from the back deck is gorgeous.The house was immaculate and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Dexter, NY area!
Thanks Suzie for being a great host!
