We had a lovely stay at The Cape Cod house. Ning was a pleasure to work with and the check-in process was easy and no stress. It was a great home base for us during Clarkson family weekend.

Property was just as described. Plenty of room and privacy for 3 separate adults. Check in was easy and lights were on for a later check in, which made us feel good. Good proximity to downtown and restaurants and easy drive to Clarkson. Only negative is that there is some off campus college housing in the area and they were somewhat loud late night. Oveall a nice stay.

The Cape Cod House was exactly as advertised. It is a cute & comfortable house with lots of charm. It was exceptionally clean & I would stay here again. I appreciated the amenities of bottle water in the fridge, lots of clean towels, a clean kitchen sponge, & some Lindt chocolates. I used the Cape Cod as a home base over a parent’s weekend at SLU. I had a little trouble with the door lock on check in & the owner was immediately available via text in real time. I would stay here again.

We were in town to visit family in the area and picked this house as our home base. The kitchen is well equipped and the property is as it appears in the pictures. Everything on the property worked well and was in good condition. We would have preferred the beds to be a bit softer but others may enjoy a stiffer mattress. We would stay at the property again.

We had high hopes for this rental given the rave reviews. The interior was definitely clean and owner had labels on many cabinets and closets. It did feel like a little cottage with lots of conveniences that wouldn't be available in a hotel in Potsdam (e.g., kitchen). The home was close to town which definitely made it a convenient location. And, the owner was kind enough to extend our check out by an hour which was much appreciated. There were some things though that took away from some of the positives about the space. First, the full bath was small which is understandable for the type of house, but the shower was dingy and the rubbermat and shower curtain were really dirty. We wondered if we should've been wearing flip/flops in the shower. Changing those 2 things, would've made it better. There was a side porch that we would've spent more time in if warmer but when you looked out the window, there was a lot of garbage in the backyard - cardboard beer cases, bags, etc. and a large rodent trap cage! Finally, we took out the garbage and recycling as instructed into the cans outside of the house but they were nearly filled to the top with garbage. It hadn't seemed like anyone had picked up recently. The space was fine for a less than 48 hr visit, but I couldn't honestly give it such high ratings as others because we didn't have a 5 star experience.

Very nice house. The owner has obviously tried to make your stay comfortable. Our only drawback was the proximity to the river - a couple of blocks away, a little tricky for the canoes. Would recommend.

The property met our expectations. One suggestion for improvement would be to put a different lock on the front door. It was very difficult to open. Other than that, all was good.

Clean 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath. Roomy, quaint, convenient location to downtown, off street parking is great. Great communication with owner who left fridge stocked with eggs, butter, bagels, juice and water! Stairs a bit steep and I banged my head so do need to be careful!
