| Description: | |
| Running Water is a charming cabin located on the Deer River in Dickinson Center, about 5 miles north of St. Regis Falls. The cottage sits right at the river's edge with a view of small rapids on a scenic bend in the Deer River. The sight and sound of the water rushing over the rocks, viewed and heard from both inside and outside the cottage, is so peaceful. This is truly a beautiful place to relax and renew. It is an ideal setting for those looking to visit the Adirondacks who don't mind being somewhat removed from the better known destinations. In other words, a little off the beaten path.The property is a nature lovers dream with five acres of woods to explore, plus more than 500 along one of the most scenic stretches of the Deer River. The sound of water rushing over the rocks will lull you to sleep each night and lure you out of bed each morning. If you are looking for peace, quiet, and serenity, this is the place for you! If you are an artist, a writer, a philosopher, a poet, a painter, or simply a dreamer -- this is definitely the place for you! If you are a family looking for a "quiet" summer vacation, this is a place where you can spend lazy days fishing and exploring along the riverbank, and cozy evenings making Smores and telling stories around a camp fire.
The cottage is very nicely decorated and features: a great room with kitchen, dining area and living room with TV and VCR; a sun porch overlooking the river with white wicker furniture; a master bedroom suite with king size bed, small TV with VCR, and private bathroom (shower, no tub); another bedroom with a full bed; a third bedroom with a single bed; a second bathroom (again, shower but not tub); and a spiral staircase to a loft with two twin beds. (Please note that bedroom with the full bed and the bedroom with the single bed have an opening at the top of one wall, so they (along with the loft) are not soundproof from the rest of the cabin.) Outside you will find Adirondack chairs, a riverside firepit, a hammock with view of the small rapids, a picnic table and a grill. Running Water is at the end of private dead-end lane of about 10 cottages. It truly has a great deal of privacy that will not disappoint you. There is a little swimming hole in the river directly in front of the cabin. We swim in it, although when you stand up, it is only a few feet deep. It is also nice to sit in the calmer areas where the water rushes over the rocks; kind of like a natural Jacuzzi. The river is stocked and fishing is permissible with a license. There are several good swimming spots in the area, including Meecham Lake, and we provide an information book for your use. Bring your bikes and hiking shoes; there are lots of trails and quiet country roads to explore nearby. There is one hiking trail along the Deer River (about 1/2 mile away) that you will not want to to miss! Dickinson Center is a few miles north of St. Regis Falls. Within 30 minutes, you will find the towns of Potsdam, Massena and Malone. Ottawa (Canada's amazing capital city) is less than two hours away, making for a terrific day trip. A small grocery store, gas station, and sub and pizza shop are located five minutes away in St. Regis Falls and a larger IGA is 15 minutes away in Brushton. Malone, Massena and Potsdam are each about 20 to 30 minutes away where you will find a larger shopping centers, movie theatres and more restaurants. There is even an indoor ice rink at the mall in Massena! So if you don't mind driving a bit, there is plenty to do in the area. Or, you can kick back and do nothing at all! Although the river is not deep, it can still be dangerous. We therefore will not rent this property to anyone with children under the age of 10. Children age 10 and older need to be closely supervised by an adult. Even adults should not go into the river unless another adult is present, and no one should go into any part of the river when drinking, or into the heavy rapids in the center of the river at any time.Well-behaved, non-chewing, housebroken dogs are permitted. Please, if your dog does not honestly fit this description, do not ask to rent our cottage. We have three dogs ourselves and we know that there are some dogs who handle new places very well, and there are others who really should not be brought along. For those of you with well-behaved dogs, we offer a very large outdoor kennel with covered shelter on the property, where dogs must be kept when you are not with them. Dogs must be kept under control at all time, and may not be permitted to run loose on our neighbors' properties or to bark excessively. Our rates are posted below. Please contact by email if you would like more information. We hope you can join us at this special place for your next vacation. We would also like you to know that we are the owners and operators of the Adirondack "By Owner" website. |
