About this property

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

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.

The owners were great, the property was perfect for our family of 6 and checking in/out was incredibly easy. The kids loved the hot tub and putting green. It is close to downtown Potsdam, but quiet on the river and off the beaten path. We will definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to others.

What a beautiful place on the river. Think five star hotel in a gorgeous quiet natural setting. This is our third time here (as well as once at Beth’s place in town). That’s why we keep coming back!

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.

Great experience. We've stayed at other places where you have to squint at the picture to correlate it to the property and hiccups happen along the way you have to work past. None of that was the case here. Perfect check-in, great communication from the host, well maintained property and great amenities. We really enjoyed our stay at this location and you can tell by the difficulty in finding available dates that everyone else agrees. I would return again in the future if I can find open dates without any hesitation. Appreciate the entire experience and only wish we had more time to enjoy the full amenities provided both indoors at outdoors.

We enjoyed our stay at Beth’s Place. The location was very convenient since we were visiting our son at Clarkson. The apartment was spotless and had everything we needed for our weekend stay. The hot tub was nice but unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoying the rest of the outside amenities because it was cold and rainy. We hope to go back when the weather is nicer!

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 :)

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.
