Great Stay, As Always!

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!

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.

Beautiful place, great time

Honestly we spent a lot of time talking about how great it was. I booked it one year in advance and so I spent the whole year wondering if it was going to be as nice as I thought it was going to be. With 12 people depending on it I was a little worried. But it was exactly what we needed. The only small thing, and this is really more indicative of my planning abilities than anything else, I wasn't prepared to not have any cell signal on the final approach to the property. Without being able to call the other group and with GPS not working we drove up and down the road a couple times. Maybe for people like me, you could provide a warning that guests should *print the directions and put them in all the cars*? Unless you have that already and I missed it. Anyway, the place had everything, really almost unbelievably perfect. Thank you!

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.

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.

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 !

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.
