You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waterman Hill Guest House

You are invited to visit our hobby farm and stay in an open, airy, well-appointed one-bedroom apartment inside an Amish-built barn. In our rural area, the call of songbirds or lowing of cows is the loudest thing you will hear. Our property is completely solar-powered, with our own array of 39 solar panels on the roof of the barn. We provide a fully stocked kitchen for your breakfast, including oatmeal, english muffins, yogurt, butter, coffee and tea, and, of course, fresh eggs from our chickens. All nationalities/ LGBTQ/ all humans welcome! We have a small pool on site and are in a great location between the Adirondack Mountains, St. Lawrence River, and the Thousand Islands region.

Our brand-new apartment is located on the second floor of our Amish-built barn. The front door and wood porch lead into a large foyer where you can leave your shoes and coats. Walk upstairs and you've got an open floor plan with amazing views of the countryside from decks on both the front and rear of the barn. The very large barn-width rear deck is the place to be to watch the sunset on warm evenings, while you scan the meadow for white-tailed deer, porcupine, and coyote, while listening to the meadowlarks and savannah sparrows.

Inside the space, we offer one bedroom with a new Tuft and Needle queen-size bed, plus two more sleeping areas in shared space. The very large three-piece couch easily sleeps two adults, and the twin futon can sleep a small adult or child. Our kitchen has a two-burner electric cooktop, toaster oven, microwave oven, coffee maker, and small fridge/ freezer for your pleasure, plus a small kitchen table as well as bar seating. We love the locally-cut white pine butcher block counter top! The open floor plan with exposed beams is pleasing to the eye, and our ceramic tile shower stall will make you linger. Most of the decorations in the apartment come from our travels in South and Central America, East Africa, and Indonesia.

The upstairs guest space and foyer are entirely private. We are happy to give you a tour of our farm and animal areas. In the summer and fall, please feel free to wander through the large vegetable garden.

We live on-site and will be doing what we do on any given day, including farm animal care. We are happy to orient you to the area, show you the amazing views and talk about local wildlife and village life, or give you a tour of our farm.

Our home is close to wonderful sites for adventure, in every season. In the winter, use your cross-country skis on the St. Lawrence University golf course right in the village of Canton, or go into the Adirondacks for a skiing or snowshoeing adventure. In the summer, there are miles of rivers and lakes to explore by canoe and kayak. We are close to the St. Lawrence River and welcome those competing in the summer Bassmaster Fishing Tournaments.

Please note there are animals on site, and you may hear chickens, goats, and cows during your stay, but never a train.

A wonderful stay in Canton separate home!
It was a perfect stay for 4 family members attending our daughter’s SLU graduation! The fresh eggs from their chickens was a nice bonus, along with breakfast items given to us to prepare. The goats, chickens, and cats were fun to admire, especially the kitty named Zero! We wanted to take him home. There is plenty of space. My husband and I gave my sister and brother in law the bedroom and we sleep on the sofa that sections into a bed. I brought a blowup mattress in case, but the sofa bed worked out great and was very comfortable! Susan and her husband are lovingly people and extremely accommodating! Thank you for making our special weekend great!😊

Great Re-Set Button and Re-charge
We loved our time at the Waterman Hill Guesthouse! We needed a reset button from daily life and this was it! We were lucky enough to spend time with the animals and the host family and also get to the ADKs for some hiking. The host family is absolutely lovely and let us help (and eat from!) the garden and have a campfire and marshmallows at night. Perfect place for kids to enjoy being kids! Beautiful location for exploring the North Country. Hope to enjoy another stay here in the future.

Great place and location with Abbreviated kitchen is best for non-cookers
Susan the hostess is great, the bedding and master bed were super comfortable. The view out the back was amazing. They had baby goats that were very fun, especially if you had little kids in your group. For people who don’t usually cook and eat in while traveling the kitchen is totally fine. My error was not reading and paying close enough attention to the details- due to a food allergy we normally cook full meals and eat in, which was not really possible. They do offer great dinners which probably could have accommodated the allergy issue had we inquired.

Peaceful winter retreat
We spent three warm and wonderful nights in January, and loved every minute. Sue was the perfect host, making sure that all (including fresh eggs for breakfast!) was prepared for our arrival. The guesthouse is immaculately clean, full of light, beautifully decorated, spacious yet perfectly cozy. From every window, we looked out over snowy fields, and walked behind the guesthouse to see a beaver dam and wildlife tracks along the way. Sue had excellent tips for nearby hikes and birdwatching, and generally made sure that every aspect of our stay went well.

Fantastic Hosts and Magical View
Sue and Fernando are great hosts and provide a perfect country guest house for those seeking time away in beauty of nature. The space is super clean and so welcoming. Both decks give you a wonderful view of the neighboring farms. We spent most of our time relaxing on the back deck and got to see coyotes and deer, eagles and hawks, the resident red squirrels who were a blast to watch and knock out skies. We also loved their super sweet puppy and the goats and chicken who live in the barn. Sue provided us with information about swimming holes and local water falls, as well as good places to shop and visit. Fernando cooked us a delicious meal (vegetarian) - his food and the view made for a perfect romantic Saturday night. Our experience was exactly what we were looking for. Thank you Sue and Fernando for a terrific vacation.

Awesome vacation!
We were very pleasantly surprised with this out of the way destination. The accommodations were modern, attractive, comfortable and clean -- just like in the photos -- and the views were even better. Our 3 kids (10,8,6) had an amazing time exploring the farm and playing with the animals with the owner's daughter. The place is centrally located in the "northern country", and we were just around 20 minutes from kayaking, lake swimming, hiking, Amish, Canada etc. We would definitely go back for another stay.

A verdant escape
My partner and I had a wonderful time at the lovely Sue and (the very tall and handsome 😉) Fernando's place! Our hosts were welcoming, knowledgeable, available, and chill. The loft is charming, both open and cozy, and that VIEW!!! We just sat on the balcony and stared at the rolling green expanse, the colors of the sunset, and the incredibly starry night sky. Heaven. Fernando cooked up a (specially ordered vegan) feast for us and our guests that was muy delicioso; we couldn't have been more pleased. All in all, a too short but thoroughly enjoyable break. Didn't want to leave —this will definitely be our go-to place whenever we're in the area. 👍
