This property is exceptional! We have stayed here for work events several times and have been extremely pleased with each experience. This trip, the weather was beautiful and we enjoyed peak fall colors. We prepared lunch and transported it to our St. Lawrence team during trainings we provide as well as hosted a dinner for the leadership team. As a foodie, I can attest to a well appointed kitchen with everything one would need to create wonderful meals. John and Donna are great hosts. Thank you for sharing the Lodge with us.

Beautiful property, tons of things to do at the house (game room, pontoon boat, hot tub, volley ball etc…). Plus it is the perfect place to have a large family dinner. Huge dining room table with room for 10 people, all the plates, bowls, glasses , silverware you need and pots and pans for cooking. There is also a dw for easy clean up. The beds are comfortable (remember to bring your own sheets and towels) and the showers are hot and very nice. Overall one of my favorite places to stay.

Cozy cabin, lots of family games

We had a great time at the house. There were lots of family activities to pass the time and we also enjoyed floating in the river and taking the boat out to fish. The kitchen was well-stocked and the house had a lot of character. Beware of the deer flies and mosquitoes.

An excellent stay

The drive into the cabin was beautiful, and it’s exactly as it’s described on the listing. Ample space for guests (we had a large party), and it’s location on the water make our stay absolutely wonderful. Clean, quick response to the one question I had, and a friendly welcome made our stay memorable.

Great Time With The Family!

The entire family had a great time! No need to leave the property except to buy groceries and go to the bait shop! Swimming, fishing, playing games, kayaking, paddleboarding, relaxing in the hot tub and cruising in the pontoon boat - everyone was always busy and having fun! The only suggestions I would have is to maintain the boat dock a little better (it was a little shaky and uneven), and provide new seats for the kayaks that were worn out or missing.

Everything we needed

Very nice cabin, plenty of room for our group. Everyone enjoyed the cabin and amenities. Plenty of room to park multiple cars. Game room was a nice feature, especially when it rained. The property is a beautiful lakefront cabin with a fantastic view of the fall foilage. The boat was a nice extra, wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the hot tub and more time around the fire ! Very peaceful and private. Thank you for a wonderful stay !

Secluded, peaceful retreat

We stayed for our son's Graduation from Clarkson University, about a 25 min easy drive away. Property was well maintained, peaceful & secluded. Lovely rustic log cabin. We would definitely stay again. At some point an upgrade to some of the games & lighting in game room would be nice but certainly had no negative impact during our stay. We still enjoyed everything! Games, paddle boards, kayak, game room, fire inside & out, bbq grill, morning coffee on the porch with amazing views. We had an amazing long weekend.

Another great stay!

Some collegues from Rochester Regional Health and I attended the ribbon cutting at the new addition at Cantin-Pottsdam Hospital and stayed for a couple more days to provide training for our team members at St. Lawrence Health. As was the case during our last stay, the property was perfect. There was plenty of room for all of us and a well appointed kitchen provided the opportunity to invite some of the leadership team to dinner Monday night since most of the area restaurants are closed. We also were able to cook lunch and bring it to the training sessions wash day. When we weren’t working, we relaxed in the living room and spent some time in the hot tub. I will definitely stay again. Donna and John are great hosts and think of everything from the welcome bottle of wine and apples to the fun scavenger hunt. We rent through VRBO often and I can honestly say this is one of the best properties we have stayed at. I can’t recommend it enough!

Absolutely perfect!!!

We booked this amazing property for my fathers 87th birthday get away. He loves the outdoors, fishing and family, and this was my gift to him…he truly loved it! We have been many places, this cabin is exceptional. On first arrival, clean with clear instruction, communication and even complimentary treats. Extremely clean, and property is as described in vrbo. There was something for everyone, we had a total of 17, this included 3 children, and we brought our dogs. You can see and feel the love is poured into this place by its owners, they even leave a fun game to play with them ( don't want to give too much away, that was our favorite part! ). The hot tub, fire pit, boat and game room where very well taken care of, and ready to jump in and use. We will definitely rent again. These are very kind people sharing their much loved space, thank you.
