Family-friendly vacation rentals in Potsdam

A beautiful place to stay. Very quiet, yet close to Potsdam. Beth was wonderful in communicating with us, and her home is cozy & lovely.

Great Lake front cabin with lots of amenities. Boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, hot tub- kept our family of five, including 3 teenagers occupied for days. Love the addition of the gas fire pit on the porch off the living room- started and ended every day out there, watching and listening to all the lake has to offer. Great trail running right from east shore drive. We loved it! We will be back!

Great house at a great location. House was nice and warm despite the 0 degree weather with high winds. Driveway was maintained clear during 15” of snow. Great sledding on the property, ice fishing on the lake and cross country skiing on the rail trail that passes the house. Main floor and upper floor were great, lower level needs some TLC and the two lower level beds were very uncomfortable. No problem with the rest of the rooms. Kitchen was well stocked and plenty of room to gather on the main floor. Could use a larger table, plenty of room in the house for our group of 13 but not a big enough table for us to all eat at together (kitchen island provided most of the needed extra spots). Overall a great place at a great location.

Erin's place was wonderful for our family of 12! We agree with the other reviews - the photos don't do it justice. It was clean and well-equipped. The only negative was that we arrived on a very hot and humid day, so we definitely very hot, with no AC. We brought some fans and did purchase some larger fans. The kitchen was perfect - we made most of our meals. We did go out one night and the Gran View and really like that suggestion. The paddle boards/kayaks and floats were so nice to not have to rent. The river is super calm before and after storms or in the mornings. We rented a pontoon boat from Wellsey Island, and it was dropped off at a nearby marina. We docked the boat on one side or the other of the dock, depending on the current or rough waters. We loved the quiet road for walks, and only a 25 minute drive to A-bay. The grill worked well. All in all, it was a great place!

My wife and I just spent one of the more enjoyable weeks in our long history of visits to the Adirondacks. Jerry and Linda’s log cabin on Middle Saranac Lake is, quite simply, a treasure. Awesome location right on shoreline. Very nice man (Dan) motored us across the lake. Rustic but very comfortable. Spectacular views. Great kitchen. Comfortable bedding. Propane lighting throughout. Weber grill on porch. Two kayaks and one canoe included. Aluminum boat (also included) with electric start Honda was perfect. Lots of tiny islands nearby. Hot (very!) shower, flush toilet. Swimming right from dock. Sandy beach close by. Sunsets, sunrises, total peace and serenity. Just what we were hoping for. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. You will too! David and Debbie B

This place was absolutely perfect! The owner was so incredibly nice and responsive, the place itself was cozy and had so many wonderful amenities. It's great to find a place that makes both children and pets welcome. We always have to look so hard to find a place that has fun things for the kids but also will allow the pup. This was everything!! This is our new favorite place to stay when we come up!

Laurel was an amazing host! The place was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. She was incredibly responsive throughout our stay and made sure we had everything we needed. Her thoughtfulness really stood out—she even offered us a late checkout, which we truly appreciated. The peaceful surroundings and little touches made it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommend staying here—we’d definitely love to come back!

We loved staying here! Craig gave us a great tour once we got in and was helpful anytime we had questions. This is a perfect spot on Trout Lake with all the lake toys you need! The house had everything we needed and was perfect for a small family get together. We had a great time and can't wait to come back next year.

This was our second time at Rich's place. Rich was a great communicator and very responsive. The home is cozy, easy to work in the kitchen, and has a good gas BBQ on the porch (the BBQ could use a cleaning). Two main sleeping areas were perfect for us and the bathroom was all that we needed. A covered campfire area with benches was fantastic (both years we were there), and the proximity to Upper Saranac Lake Marina and the lake could not be better - just a few minutes up the road. I wish the house was not so close to the road as we prefer the sounds of the woods to the sounds of the road, HOWEVER, we were out recreating all day, so that really was not a big deal. Certainly, we would love to return again next summer, as Rich's house feels like our own vacation home! I would recommend this house to a couple or two friends or a small family seeking proximity to the lake for water sports and trails for hiking. Thanks again, Rich. We had a fantastic time!

Great setting for a family get-together. Karen & Ray are very considerate hosts.

we had such a great time staying at the cabin on Grasse River. came for a family reunion and so glad we had this little getaway. It was close to town, yet secluded, quiet and full of foliage. The kayaks were awesome to take out and kitchen had all the amenities to cook which was awesome. Can't wait to come back!

Everything was exactly as expected. We loved the rustic charm of the cabin. The property has an absolutely beautiful view of the lake. We caught a lot of fish right in front of the cabin and the kids loved it. We would definitely visit again!

we were lucky to stay in cottage 9 on the May long weekend, when they reopen the resort, and I should say it couldn't be better. The host was such a nice and informative lady to go behind our expectations and make our stay even more memorable. we will definitely recommend the place. Thank you for everything :)

Anne’s place was a great spot to stay while we visited family in the area! It was private and quiet and the surroundings were so peaceful! We’ll definitely be back!

What a lovely spot! Susan & family were so welcoming, my 4 year old loved getting to meet the many beautiful critters surrounding the guest house (getting toppled over by a friendly goat just added to the adventure!). The space is thoughtfully laid out to maximize the views, and the bed & furnishings are super comfortable. This was a staycation for us and it was truly a treat to have such a relaxing getaway in our own neighborhood.

Nice place in a beautiful location Thoroughly enjoyed the stay

Very spacious comfortable accommodation. No easy place to go for a walk other than the main road, and driving required for food and drink.

Thank you for having us! It was the perfect getaway with great outdoor activities.

Loved our long weekend over there!! the place is huge , the river is beautiful ! canoe , kayaks , paddle board..... fishing awesome!! the yard and pool is also awesome for kids and adults alike!! people were friendly and easygoing!! will visit again for sure!

Fantastic hosts and a great location with lots of space and piece and quiet on the river shore. Loved the hammocks hanging up in different places. The pool was clean and our girls loved having it to themselves. The cottage(s) could do with an little upgrade especially the kitchen but beds were comfortable and it did have all we needed for 2 days including a barbecue.
