Welcome to Willow View — A Place for All Seasons
The perfect place to lay your head on the outskirts of Canton, NY.
Conveniently located just 5.5 miles from Canton—home to St. Lawrence University and SUNY Canton—and 17 miles from Potsdam, where you’ll find Clarkson University and SUNY Potsdam/Crane School of Music, Willow View is the ideal home base for your visit to New York’s North Country.
We are thrilled to share the results of a complete remodel of the kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, and living room. The space now features all-new appliances, custom cabinetry, and thoughtful updates that enhance comfort while preserving the charming character of the original farmhouse.

Outdoor Adventures at Your Doorstep
Spring & Summer:
Explore miles of hiking trails in the Village of Canton. We're only an hour from the Adirondack Park, where rivers, lakes, and trails provide endless opportunities for hiking, paddling, and exploring. Cool off at Postwood Park on the Raquette River, or head to the Stone Valley Nature Trails for scenic hikes and waterfalls. Bring your kayak or canoe to explore the local waterways.
Fall:
Waterfowl enthusiasts can enjoy duck hunting at the Upper & Lower Lakes Wildlife Management Area. There’s ample space at Willow View to dry your waders after a day in the marsh.
Winter:
When the snow starts to fall, step right outside for snowshoeing, sledding, or to access top-tier snowmobile trails. Bring your gear and enjoy a true winter wonderland.
