Detailed Reviews
Let's start with the Room: Gorgeous Décor, Comfortable Bed, and the most amazing shower that I have ever seen!! The house had been recently renovated and it shows!! We stayed in the Topaz Room and the private bath had all the bells and whistles!! It took me five minutes to figure out how to use it!! LOL!!
The rest of the house is as beautiful as the room!! I enjoyed looking at Ms. Gao's collections of vases and knick knacks which are neatly displayed in different curio cabinets!! I especially liked the glass dragon sculptors!!
When we arrived, at 9AM, we were asked to remove our shoes and put on nice comfortable slippers. We dropped our stuff off in our room and went back to SUNY Potsdam to move our daughter into her dorm room.
We came back to the room at 7PM and we were exhausted!! We went upstairs to relax and five minutes later Ms. Gao was knocking on our door with a plate of cold, fresh grapes and cherries!! It is those little things that just make you feel warm and welcomed!! Ms. Gao also invited our daughter to join us for breakfast the next morning!!
For breakfast Ms. Gao made us Blueberry Pancakes with a plethora of different Maple Syrups to choose from. We were also ate yogurt and had some apple juice. Coffee, tea and different types of juices were made available to us throughout the day.
A very hospitable host and a beautiful home and room make for a fantastic stay!! If you are in Potsdam this is a great place to stay!!!

This was our second stay at the Emerald. As before, everything was perfect. The owner always goes out of her way to accommodate any and all needs/wishes. Rooms are beautifully decorated and breakfast was wonderful! Although our student has graduated from one of the local colleges, I hope to find a reason to return to Potsdam for another stay at the Emerald!

A good amount of off-street parking (especially important in the Winter!). Nicely done renovation and absolutely wonderful breakfast. A wonderful place!
It is, of course, a pretty easy walk to downtown Potsdam - most anyplace in the village is.
