About this property

Beth's Place - On the River - W/ Hot Tub, Pickleball Court & Putting Green

Beth's Place - celebrating 10 years in business in 2024 - offers complete privacy on the ground floor of our home. It includes a cozy bedroom with a queen-size bed, a spacious living room with a queen-size sleeper sofa, a well-equipped kitchen with all the essentials for meal preparation, a dining area, and even a gas grill for outdoor cooking. The space also features a nice full bathroom with a tub/shower, towels, basic toiletries, a private entrance, and ample parking. Additionally, we can arrange two twin beds in the living room, accommodating up to 6 guests comfortably. There is a washer and dryer in the unit for convenience.

Guests will enjoy two private outdoor areas – one facing the putting green and pickleball court (installed 9/2023) in the front and another at the back with a grill, hot tub, and a river view. The hot tub is open year-round and is exclusively for the current guests of the unit. Our other unit, Beth's Place II, also has its own private hot tub. The igloo in the backyard is open year-round and shared with guests of the other unit, featuring string lights, seating, and a heater for colder months.

Beth's Place II is situated on the same property as Beth's Place, offering an alternative for different dates or to accommodate more guests.

Please note, we have a small dog on the upper floors of the house who is usually quiet but may bark briefly to announce arrivals.

Our property boasts a putting green and pickleball court in the front yard and access to the Raquette River at the back. The trail to the river has handrails on steep sections. Guests can enjoy kayaks, a fire pit, and a private beach by the river, with a swimmable stretch of the Raquette River (water shoes recommended) leading to downtown Potsdam. Kayaking is available from May to November, and we convert the putting green during snowy months.

Great place to stay

We have stayed here a couple times and has been perfect both times. Great location and place is well supplied with necessities. Haven’t stayed while weather was nice so haven’t had chance to enjoy outdoor amenities, but plenty of them.

Perfect family get away!

We had so much fun on the river with our girls! Between pickleball, the hot tub, river, and fire pit there was plenty to keep everyone busy while we enjoyed the property. The rooms were clean, the property was quiet. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Another wonderful stay

Not only is the host , Beth, always super responsive but always provides a pristine and cozy spot for us to stay. I also find that each time I come up ( this might be my 6th stay) she has added some other improvement or decorative touch. I LOVE this apartment and try as best I can to only stay at one of Beth's places if I remember to book early enough :)

Repeat renters

We stayed for SLU parents' weekend in 2023 and knew we would be back! We rented it again this fall and were very happy. Everything you could want in a rental and more - the hot tub is a welcome retreat after a busy day. Beth is super responsive but not at all intrusive. Great place!

Needed a place to stay for an event happening at Clarkson for a family member. It was myself and 4 other adult family members. It was perfect for what we needed and a short distance to the campus.The detailed instructions and recommendations were much appreciated. There was nothing that we needed for while there. All of the amenities for the hot tub were such a nice touch!While we enjoyed our reason for going to Clarkson, we joked we wished we didn’t have to go because we wanted to spend more time at Beth’s because it is such a great spot. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful stay!

Beth's place is fully stocked with all the necessities and more. Very clean and neat apartment in a quiet location. The leaves had just started to turn, and the view to the river showed a burst of fall foliage (something we never tire of, even being from NH). Beth was super responsive but never intrusive. We'll be back!

Wonderful Stay!

I was searching for a place in early December 2018 as all hotels were filled. I've used VRBO before and came across Beth's Place. I have to say that this is one of the cleanest and nicest property I have found! It is located in the lower part of their home but it very private and check in and out was as easy as can be! I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area and I will look here before I contact hotels the next time I'm herer.

Beautiful slice of heaven

The house was cozy, clean and beautifully decorated. It was fully loaded with everything we needed for our stay with a family of five. But the best part(and the reason we booked) was all the outdoor spaces and amenities. We used all of them from the putting green to the hot tub and fire pit for s’mores and the river access was perfect for kayaking, fishing, swimming and playing sand toys. We caught a lot of fish both from shore and out on the water. It was so peaceful and quiet. We will come back again. Thank you!

Wonderland

The property was close to St. Lawrence, where my daughter goes to school. It offered a nice living area with a full kitchen and laundry. The outdoor space was amazing. An Igloo where we played games while being outside and out of the snowy cold. The hot tub was a great treat after being out in the cold or playing pickleball all day. I was able to hide easter eggs on their gorgeous property, for my daughter, that went from the hot tub down the long path to the river. We felt comfortable taking walks on the property and relaxing with all the wonderful amenities. The host was helpful and friendly. This place was a complete wonderland.

Five Stars, ONLY because I’m not allowed to give six.

Everything was perfect. Clean, well kept, well maintained. Very tasteful decor with plenty of amenities. And thorough! They thought of everything. Everything we needed; with expectations exceeded even after reading all the positive reviews beforehand. Immediately, my husband and I had a sense of understanding of their values upon entering the property. Prideful people who truly care about providing a top quality experience. A true understanding and display of hospitality. With everything else booked for several miles they had every opportunity to “price gouge” if they chose. Instead?... A VERY reasonable rate. Plenty bang for your buck, to understate things. They checked in with us daily to see if we needed anything. Our children enjoyed the outdoors with kayaking, fishing, the hot tub, etc. It was the perfect mini vacation for our family. Thank you Beth and Jim for a wonderful stay, and for such high quality service that your personality shines through with it! See you again!

Great stay at Beths place

My wife and I were looking for a weekend away and found this place mainly due to the hot tub and location. This exceeded our expectations and owner was very kind and welcoming. This place is attached to owners home but they give you your own space and you can hardly tell anyone else is living there.

So lucky to find this place!

On a trip to visit our grandson and see him play his last high school football season, we stayed at Beth's Place for 10 days. The place was spacious and beautiful inside and outside. The private patio area outside with our own personal hot tub was gorgeous. The inside was beautifully decorated and Beth thought of everything we might need - even a laundry room which was helpful for our long stay. We will definitely stay here again next time we come to Pottsdam. Highly reccomended!

About the host

Hosted by Beth Reasoner

Host profile image
My name is Beth Reasoner, and my husband Jim and I have been residents of Potsdam, NY, for most of our lives. We keep ourselves busy by managing our apartment rental business, a business that we've been running in Potsdam for more than 25 years.

One day, my husband had the idea to convert the first floor of our home into a bed and breakfast. We opened for business three weeks later and named our establishment Beth's Place. This year, 2024, we are celebrating ten years of operation. We have had hundreds of reservations from people all over the world. In March 2020, we expanded our business by opening our second bed and breakfast, Beth's Place II, located above our garage. We take pride in maintaining our places in excellent condition, ensuring that they are clean, well-equipped, and beautiful. We are confident that you will love staying at either one of our bed and breakfasts.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I originally purchased this home to finish and then sell. While working on the home, we fell in love with the property and the river and decided to sell our house and move in.

What makes this property unique

There is lots to do on our property. We have a putting green and a new pickleball court (installed on 9/2023) for our guests to enjoy. And our stretch of the Raquette River flows right to the village of Potsdam. So kayaking to the town for dinner or shopping is a must from June to November.
