About this cottage rental
Relax and renew in a classic, comfortable, updated lodge and boathouse directly on the MAIN BAY of Upper Higley Flow. Stake out your spot on our large, sunny private deck, tie up your boat downstairs, fire up the gas grill or go fishing from the dock! Watch some Satellite TV, listen to the Music Channels. or read in the quiet waterside garden - Also a good spot for the kids, complete with their own picnic table and firepit for toasting marshmallows. Sleep under fresh quilts and coverlets in Adirondack decor. Enjoy 180 degree water views. Cook in the updated, eat-in & fully equipped kitchen with a water view! Dive into deep water off the dock or walk into shallow water using our convenient steps. Amazing sunsets and starry starry nights. Breathe deeply, this is living!
We are a 15 minute drive to Potsdam or Canton and all of the cultural and educational events at our neighboring 4 colleges: Clarkson, St. Lawrence, SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Canton. We also are within 2 hours of Lake Placid, Ottawa and Montreal, all interesting and fun day trips. Be forewarned though, most people who come here just want to stay on the deck and relax!
Peak summer weeks are still available! We also encourage you to try the Lodge in mid-to-late August & September and experience our quietly beautiful Indian Summer & Fall Season. Warm days and cooler nights....... a gorgeous time to be here!
Please note when trying to make a reservation there is a 4 night minimum.

Gorgeous view and plenty of space for gathering and things to do. Loved the lawn area with fire pit and Adirondack chairs and the view from the deck and main living area were outstanding.

Sunset Lodge is a peaceful, nicely appointed and comfortable home with character. The owners are welcoming and communicative. We loved the water views from almost every room, relaxing in the living room and on the deck, and swimming right from the dock. We would definitely stay here again.

Million-dollar view of Raquette River and sunsets. Well stocked home with anything you'd need. Enjoyed the water toys: paddle board, kayak and rowboat. Sideyard with firepit and garden where we enjoyed star-gazing too. We plan to return next year.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2022
The owners were great, the location was as well. We loved the balcony/desk and spent lots of time there. The entry to the water was great and easy to use as was the Kayak. It was nice each room had a ceiling fan and box fans for use as well. The camp faces west, so that setting sun will really heat things up end of the day. The living room was nice and the furniture was pretty good! There was everything you would want there for seating, dining and grilling. Make sure to understand the layout of the property, one bedroom is in the lower portion of the boathouse, two good steps from being in the water. Which is great and not so great depending. Another bedroom is in a hallway that every one uses to go to the balcony and other bedrooms, so it's a bit of a thoroughfare. in the bunkhouse are 3 good sized bedrooms though. so if those meet your needs the others don't matter.
The beds were awful, I had major lower back pain from the first night even though I had brought a foam topper; they badly need replacing. Unfortunately that pain really affected my vacation. This will vary per person, but is something to know about.
The hosts did a great job letting you know what you were in for with the path into the camp in their pictures. The 'railing' on the path from the garage down to the camp was useless. Had I placed more than a light hand on it and had we needed it for true support, it'd have broken (dry rot). My 9 yr old nephew visited saying, that wouldn't even hold a baby, HA. Weird things kids say.
The shower, I did learn my lesson to really look at it in the pictures (or lack of) and ask questions. It was a bit dirty too, but that can't really be helped since the access to it is near impossible. To get into the shower you have maybe 12 inches to squeeze in between the edge of the shower stall and the towel bars on the wall The shower opening faces a wall, with again, maybe 12 inches from 'door opening' to the wall. tricky at best! Not sure how a cleaning person would get in there, maybe with a long handled mop? or crawl? Some won't fit through to get in shower.
I don't want to be all negative, there were many good things. But if you can't get a good nights sleep to enjoy your days because of the pain from the bed, showering is a chore, and when carrying all your stuff in and out you best have good core body strength as there is no railing to use for any assistance, it does affect things and the rating unfortunately.
