Beth's Place II - On The River - Hot Tub & New Pickleball Court! You'll love it!

10/10 Excellent
"Beth's place was a well appointed apartment with anything you would need . The basket of towels and flip flops for the use of the hot tub was a sweet and helpful touch! Everything was super clean and tidy, a cheerful space! We enjoyed the close proximity to all things in Potsdam, especially being rite on the river! All things need for a beautiful fire were well stocked and the hottub was lovely! It's a bit of a walk down to the river but the zig zag path down made it doable for us and my 77 yr old mom! My son is currently enrolled at The University of Potsdam and we definitely plan on staying at Beth's again ! Side note we really enjoyed the distant trains that passed by. It was a sweet unexpected touch, not so close that it was to loud, it was kinda lovely Thanks so much Beth,for the use of your beautiful property ! It was a great place to hang out with my son and family.Danielle"
