Beth's Place- celebrating 12 years in business in 2026 - is a luxurious, self-contained apartment with a separate entrance for maximum privacy. It is spacious, tastefully furnished, and conveniently located within 1 mile of downtown Potsdam. Our guests can also enjoy the scenic Raquette River, with free kayaks available for use. For those seeking extra indulgence, the apartment also features a private hot tub – exclusively for our guests' use!
Welcome to Beth's Place, a private space on the first level of our home. You will find a cozy and comfortable queen-size bed in the bedroom, a spacious living room with a queen-size sleeper sofa, a well-equipped kitchen with an apartment size stove, a medium-sized refrigerator, dishes, silverware, baking dishes, cookie sheets, a dining area, and even a gas grill for outside cooking. Our lovely full bathroom comes with towels, washcloths, and basic toiletries.
The unit has a private entrance and ample parking, and for larger groups, we can accommodate up to six people with the addition of our new bunkroom (finished 2/2026) along with the queen-size sleeper sofa. For your convenience, there is also a washer and dryer in the unit.
Our guests will have access to two private outside sitting areas, one out front facing the new pickleball court and the putting green, and one private space out back with a grill and a private hot tub along with a river view. The hot tub (open year-round) is not shared with anyone else but current guests of the unit. The igloo, outback, is open year-round for guests to enjoy, with string lights, seating, and a heater for the cold months. Please note that the igloo, putting green, pickleball court, beach area, and kayaks are shared with our other unit, Beth's Place II, on the same property as Beth's Place. If you were looking for different dates that Beth's Place isn't available or to accommodate more people, feel free to check out Beth's Place II.
Our property offers an array of amenities, including a new pickleball court (installed 10/2023), a putting green in the front yard, a hiking/ski trail, and the Raquette River out back. The trail down to the river has handrails where it can be a bit steep, along with some stairs and a bridge. We also have kayaks and a fire pit down by the river for guests to enjoy, along with a private beach. Our stretch of the Raquette River goes all the way to downtown Potsdam, where you can park your kayak and explore the town before kayaking back home. Please note that kayaking is usually available from May through November, and the putting green is covered once it snows. Pickleball is weather permitting.
