Accommodations: Country House, 2 Bedrooms + Loft + Den, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-8)
Beaver Creek Lodge is a totally restored 1400 sq. ft. country house, which is rented as a single unit. It is located along the extraordinarily beautiful banks of Beaver Creek, right in the heart of Amish Country, within the vast watershed area of the Adirondack Mountains.
Its very private and quiet setting, nestled between rock cliffs and Beaver Creek, provides a perfect place to rest and relax while at the same time be just a short drive to Canton, Black Lake, Thousand Islands and the St. Lawrence River, Canada, and the Adirondack Park. It is a 20 minute drive to Sunny Canton and St. Lawrence University and just a little further for Sunny Potsdam and Clarkson University. Alex Bay and Thousand Islands are 45 minute drive through beautiful St. Lawrence County, one of the least populated counties East of the Mississippi River.
We are much more than a cabin or cottage. We are a retreat. Between the slow pace set by the Amish and the quiet beauty of nature, you will find Beaver Creek Lodge to be a place where you can unwind from the rat race of modern civilization.
The two bedroom lodge has all cathedral ceilings, an additional open sleeping loft, a large well equipped kitchen with many of the basic staples you need for cooking, and enough breakfast food to get you started the next morning after arrival. The large 16'x30' great room has been combined with a new sun room that has almost entirely glass walls and sliding doors that go out to a deck, all overlooking the stunning Beaver Creek landscape, hills and distant farms. A short distance from the deck is a 50 foot walk-bridge that leads you to the banks of the Beaver creek and a panoramic view of literally miles of secluded marsh, wetlands and pine forest that Beaver creek meanders through. You will also find a dock there to fish from, cross country ski from, or take one of the most beautiful and peaceful private kayak rides of your life.
You will see and hear many friendly Amish folks with their horse and buggies going over the iron grate bridge that abuts our property. You can also take a short drive or a bike ride to shop at the numerous Amish road side produce stands that are around the area. This is not a rich tourist area like Lancaster County, Pa, with mostly nicely painted farms. These are real working farms and these most conservative Old Order Amish are eking out a living from the earth in the most ingenious ways.
There are no tour buses here, but if you want to see more of the Amish community, a local Amish man will give you a tour in his horse and buggy, or sleigh if it is winter time.
There is much more to say but perhaps if you have read this far, you might want to go to our web page and read on from there. We have many more photos and much more info than we do here. Hope to see you at our lodge sometime. Regards, Dale and Sophie Lehmer.

You have both thought of everything in detail to make us feel at home.

Your attention to detail was amazing – down to the beaded curtain holders and floating candles.

It was the balcony that was a smashing success with the children. They loved shooting rubber bands up and down at each other.
