Please help us keep our home comfortable and welcoming for every guest by following these guidelines:
• Food debris — clean up food messes to avoid attracting critters.

- "We had a great time at Beth's Place. Beth was quick to respond to questions and made the place comfy and welcoming. Everything was clean and exactly as described/pictured." - "Quiet, clean, and cozy. Great space on a beautiful property. Excellent communication, nicely furnished, and fully stocked with everything you may need." - "Everything was perfect. Clean, well kept, well maintained. Very tasteful decor with plenty of amenities. And thorough! They thought of everything. Everything we needed; with expectations exceeded even after reading all the positive reviews beforehand. Immediately, my husband and I had a sense of understanding of their values upon entering the property. Prideful people who truly care about providing a top quality experience. A true understanding and display of hospitality. With everything else booked for several miles they had every opportunity to “price gouge” if they chose. Instead?... A VERY reasonable rate. Plenty bang for your buck, to understate things. They checked in with us daily to see if we needed anything. Our children enjoyed the outdoors with kayaking, fishing, the hot tub, etc. It was the perfect mini vacation for our family. Thank you Beth and Jim for a wonderful stay, and for such high quality service that your personality shines through with it! See you again!"

Welcome to our fully remodeled four-bedroom 2600 square-foot historic Scheller House. We have completely remolded (August 2022) this property in a mid-century modern theme. The Scheller House is full of its original 100 year old charm along with all the new furnishings and updates. Its extremely well constructed with roughly two foot thick hand cut Asher style sandstone walls, high ceilings and large rooms! We are located just 2 blocks from SUNY Postdam and the downtown restaurants and shops, Potsdam Hospital is just over a half mile and roughly 1 mile from Clarkson University and a block from old Snell.

We are a 5 star property by an external rating source. Send us a message if you would like to learn more about our rating.

The Scheller House is located on a 1.1 acre, double lot in downtown Potsdam. The house sits off the road with a beautiful front yard featuring the original century old front path and manicured lawn. Behind the house you will find an oversized backyard with a new large patio. The patio features a large outdoor dining table and lounge chairs. A new large fire pit/sitting area with ample room around for 10 to 12 people easily is connected short walk away. There is also a swing set located just off of the patio. This outdoor area had to be completely remodeled. We tried to save the original back patio, but it was in too much disrepair to be saved.

As with the outside of the house the inside has been fully renovated and restored to the houses’ original beauty and stature. We decorated with all new furnishings including new beds, mattresses and appliances. On the first floor you will find a fully renovated kitchen, half bathroom with a hand painted ceiling, formal dining room, beautiful living room with fireplace and a bright four-season sunroom. There are four sets of French doors located on this level that allow privacy in whatever room you choose. The new kitchen has updated walls, cabinets, lighting, flooring and high-end appliances. We have repaired and repainted every wall in the house and restored the elegant original one inch hardwood floors.

On the second floor you will find four bright and spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom. Three of the rooms each have one queen bed and the fourth bedroom has a bunkbed with a trundle. The upstairs is mostly new carpet with one original hardwood bedroom floor. All of the bedrooms have multiple windows which allows for ample natural light.

Our vision with the Sheller House was to restore it to its original beauty and splendor and now maintain it this way. The house had suffered decades of neglect and we felt our mission was to bring it back to the elegant home it once was. We feel that we have completed our mission and now we will continue to keep it that way.

Free ultra high-speed Internet.
Free cable TV.

We apologize but there is no smoking or party’s in the house.

Here is the historical write up located on the Potsdam museum website. The Scheller House is one of only a few sandstone houses left standing in Potsdam.

The house at 73 Elm Street is also known as the Carl P. Scheller Home. Carl P. Scheller drew up his own blue prints for his home and then hired Frank Ditano to be the stone mason. Frank Ditano was well known as a stone mason in both this country and abroad. He and some of his sons, especially Angelo, did a lot of masonry work in Potsdam and the local area.

The sandstone was chosen by Frank Ditano; the stone apparently came from a demolished home in Hannawa Falls. Ditano selected the stone and then re-cut by hand and shaped it. The home was the only residential building built of Potsdam Sandstone during the Industrial-Era of usage of the stone (1868-1934). The house is in the Dutch Colonial Revival style and the masonry stone work is rusticated ashlar. Dutch Colonial Revival features include the gambrel roofs with curved or flared eaves along the entire length of the home, which can be seen on the Scheller home.

- "Nicely decorated home is very comfortable and spacious. The location is great and the owners take good care of you!" - "Nothing bad to say. This place was a great stay!" - "Very clean and well kept! The entras were awesome - I highly recommend staying here for a weekend or longer trip. 10 min walk to downtown and very convenient. Great weekend with our friends!" - "This home was just what we needed for graduation with two sets of grandparents, sister in laws and our own family! The home was exceptionally clean, most comfortable and the kitchen was impressive with an extensive spice collection. The kitchen was labeled and well stocked. We couldn’t have asked for more and we could think of a thing but was missing. Communication was spot on. I would recommend this home to any family entertaining or just visiting the area."

Newly renovated and modernized, you’re sure to have the most peaceful stay at this darling village home.

Enjoy the rare amenity of the newly installed hot tub ($35 per day extra fee), or gather for the evening around the outdoor fire place. Savor your morning coffee in the screened in sun room.

- "Loved it. Cozy and decorated so cute. " - "Love it! " - "It felt like a home away from home. The decor was beautiful and tastefully done. It was a perfect place for a weekend getaway. Wonderful set up for a family. We definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a nice place go stay. " - "The property was very cute and clean. We were looking for a convenient place to stay while we moved our son into his dorm. The house was close to campus and made it very easy to get around. We loved the hot tub at the end of a long day. The house was close to everything f and gave us the opportunity to easily walk around town and get an idea of the area. The house had everything we needed for a quick weekend away and to use as a home base for my family. I will certainly look at staying here again when we come into town to visit. "

This gorgeous upstairs townhouse is very spacious. Newly renovated and remodeled. Look out the back window and you’ll see Suny Potsdam’s Crane! Eat in kitchen with all your basic cookware. Coffee Keurig with lots of coffee stocked for your stay.

- "Had everything we needed!" - "Thanks so much for letting us stay in your cozy 3 bedroom townhome. We had a great time in your newly updated place. Loved the decor and amenities, especially the keurig machine and provided K cups. Unfortunately, the refrigerator went out the first day of our stay but our hosts provided us with a temporary mini fridge within minutes of our call to them. Can't wait to be back next time!! Thanks again!!" - "We were the first guests in this property and it was great. Three of us went to Potsdam for our college reunion and the host was so helpful and welcoming to us. This location is perfect for parents weekend, alumni coming back or potential students visiting either SUNY or Clarkson campus. The host has thought of everything, provided different kinds of coffee (keurig), tea and even creamers! We will definitely consider staying here on our next visit!!"

This cozy downstairs apartment located on a quiet side street, will have you feeling at home upon entrance.

This home is just two houses down from the back entrance of SUNY Potsdam and only a few blocks away from downtown Potsdam. There you will find several dine in/dine out options, ice cream shops, movie theatre, local bars, cafes, boutiques and much more!

- "Getting in was not an issue. It appears there may have been a power outage, as the tv was in demo mode, and needed to be set up. The wifi was not working initially. And there were no trash bags in any of the trash cans. It was all easily resolved with texts and calls to owner. My brother finally got the tv set up. Only thing I would have liked to see was a full size coffee pot option, and more outlets. I am not a fan of keuregs, and bring my own coffee & filters with me. We had to set the toaster on the top of the trash can to access an outlet, as the others were in use by keureg & my mini blender I travel with. Thank you."

Forget your worries in this specious and serene space. You can make a great vacation or short stay in walking distance to Potsdam hospital and Clarkson university. While having access to downtown grocery stores and restaurants etc. The place is cozy and clean and of course a typical village standard and more look like a home than a hotel. If you aren’t used to village houses then you should look for the hotels of the area while this is perfect for someone who is more looking for authentic experiences from the area.

- "The pictures in the posting were misleading. The entry was rotten wood so had to step over to enter the house. Too much air freshener seemed to want to cover up a smell. The place was clean but many broken cabinets and dents in the walls. Not all the lights worked. Oh and right next to the working train tracks. Loud!!" - "This property is exactly as in the photos- furniture is old, apartment is sparse. It looks like it was maybe abused by some college kids in the past and not repaired. Mattresses are mediocre- not high quality. Not enough towels for the number of people (I believe there were four for the five of us staying there). Not enough dishes to be functional for meals (3 full sized plates and one small). Zero extra blankets. Without the cleanliness issue it would have been fine for the price. Problem is that it was dirty. Counters weren’t wiped down, stovetop not cleaned since prior use, one light switch was sticky and bathroom was kind of gross. The host was responsive and apologetic- said she would address it with the cleaner. The entryway was poorly lit at night and the steps to enter the home had a rotten piece of plywood that would definitely have caved in if we had put weight on it. We had to hop over this piece to enter the home. This was mentioned in previous reviews but was not yet fixed. It was definitely unsafe. The host said she had to have the property manager address it and I hope they do before someone gets hurt. Overall it gave us shelter for the few days we were in town for our sons graduation but not very enjoyable to stay in a dirty apartment. I gave the overall three stars because the host was responsive and apologetic. But that doesn’t really change the fact that it was dirty."

- "Wonderful home and very near everything we wanted."

A cozy and comfortable place to stay in your trip and feel like home. The place has one flex studio area and one bathroom and kitchen. The place kitchen and bathroom will be shared with another female tenant. Potsdam is a cold town in winters and this is a warm cozy apt is what you need when entering from outside.

- "The host, communication, ease of check-in, and location was fantastic. However, I feel that the space just didn’t feel cozy nor to the level of cleanliness or safety I feel a rented space should be. I was appreciative that there were item easily accessible to clean the space, so I just helped myself to the cleaning products and re-cleaned the spaces I felt needed cleaning. Also, there were some spiders in the home and for me, it was “okay”, but for others, they may be deathly terrified. There is a space/apartment attached where there’s a sign not to enter. It’s a door with a lock similar to what you would see as if you’re in a hotel with adjoining rooms. But they should really change the door and lock as I feel it wasn’t very safe/secure lock. Anyone could easily enter/exit. I feel if the space was made to be more cozy, and safer, I’d visit again in the future."
