You and your guests are the only ones on the 15 acre property. This property is not shared by others! If you like privacy, this house is for you! I mention this, because so many people tell us how important "privacy" was to the enjoyment of their stay...along with having a heated pool. Upstate, NY can get chilly at night, so a heated pool is a must.

We have a new 1,000 sq.ft. "Lounge Deck". That doesn't include the pool deck.

We renovated the house. I am a teacher, and my partners are a General Contractor/Designer, and my other business partner is an Electrician & Plumber. This is our baby, and we take extra special care of her for you to call home. If something goes wrong, my guys have your back. There isn't much we can't handle immediately.
We pay attention to detail. We understand that we are housing people that have never lived here before, so we make it easy and enjoyable for you to live here...For example, we have motion lights, so when you come home at night, you know where you are going, along with flush-mounted, automatic night-lights in the hallways, bathrooms, and kitchen. Enjoy yourselves worry free. Not many houses think about having 3 hot-water heaters; our Central Air Conditioning system allows EACH Bedroom to control their own temp. So, 1 bedroom can set temp. to 68, & another can set 72. We have USB plugs in every bedroom and in the kitchen; high-quality linens with extra pillows, blankets, and mirrors in every closet, along with a laundry basket and hangers; a well-stocked kitchen, extra propane tanks for the gas grill, lava-lamp, and outdoor gas fire-pit. a wood for wood-fire-pit, and extra toothbrushes in case you forget yours. We provided quality toilet paper, paper towels, Tide-pods, dishwasher detergent, new sponge, and liquid soap at every sink, so you don’t have to buy/bring any of that (not many do all this); we have fun games inside and outside the house too. We provide 1-2 days of coffee, so you can enjoy waking up the first morning if you haven’t gone shopping yet. The pool has noodles & blow-up stuff as well.
The house is a extremely well maintained house.
The layout of this house is great for multiple families: The sun-room, or living room are great spots in the morning to relax, decompress, & have a cup of coffee & good conversations/laughs, or head out to The Lounge Deck.
We have seating outside too, around 3 large tables for eating. We have a number of fun outdoor games like Ping-Pong, Bag-O (Corn Hole,) Can-Jam, Ladder-Ball, & many more. Plus, you can shoot a game of "horse" in the large driveway with the basketball hoop. If relaxing is what you need, then the pool and zero-gravity chairs might be just for you. The house has central air conditioning. The families that have rented from me have enjoyed the house, and ALL rated their stay here as 5 Stars. I will tell you places to go, things to do, and places to eat that most people don't experience. The house has many sizable rooms, with a big eat-in kitchen/fun large family room, and peaceful sun-porch, and a relaxing living room...all with TV's. All of the rooms have a good amount of windows looking out to the beautiful property. There are plenty of parking spaces, & easy to get access to the house. We are a 6 Min. drive to Cooperstown; Otsego Lake, Glimmerglass Opera House, LeatherStocking Golf Course, The Farmer's Museum, are all close. The house is a very convenient, straight drive to the ballpark.
Our house has 8 Bedrooms. Each bedroom has a closets, dressers, nightstands and lamps with built in USB ports to charge your phones in every bedroom, 7 New Full Baths, 1 Half bath, 1 washroom, & sleeps 26 people in beds. It has plenty of room on the inside of the house, as well as the beautiful lawn to BBQ on the gas grill, relax, play horse shoes, badminton, Bag-O, sit around on the Adirondack chairs, hikes in the trials, run, walk, bike on the quite roads, or take a morning stroll. There is a Ranch 3 minutes away where you can go horseback riding. Some other great things nearby are; Fly Creek Cider Mill is 2 minutes down the road, a must go see/experience, where you can eat at their outdoor restaurant for lunch and/or dinner, listen to live music, feed the ducks, cheeses in their one-of-a-kind, old-fashioned Country Store & a Water-Powered Cider Mill, do a tasting of their cider at their cider-tasting station, or go for a sandwich & ice-cream cone at their restaurant. Don't miss out on their Apple Pie! About 3 minutes away is a winery that has daily tasting and sunset sangria. The Buzz restaurant is 3 minutes away (very good). The Fly Creek General Store/Deli 3 minutes down the road for morning coffee, donuts, egg sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, and other good stuff one might need at the last minute. There are a couple good places to eat within 5 minutes of my house: Jerry's Place is an Ice-Cream Shop with hamburgers, an arcade, pool table, air-hockey, & much more. Cooperstown area is a very special place to visit with lots to do. I will email you my 5-Generations worth of local knowledge on where to go, things to see, and what to do, in and around Cooperstown, NY. This will be a once in a lifetime trip, and I hope you get the opportunity to make the most of it. I'll do everything I can to help make it that way, including making sure this house is as solid of a place it can be for you, your family, and your friends. You will have my cell phone if you have any questions 24/7. I want you to enjoy yourselves, and not worry about the place you are calling home.
We love what we do, & it's the baseball families that make it worth it! I'm a school teacher and coach, and we take pride in our work; It drives us to produce every time. We grew up playing lots of sports all the way through college. These were magical times, and we enjoy being a small, but important part of your experience. We're on your team and we won't let you down:o) We put 35-40 man and woman hours between each rental; tweaking this house for the next family to arrive, so it's like a "resort-like-property" when you arrive. Message me, Call or text me if you have ANY questions. This is what we do:o))
"Location, Location, Vacation" my Mom always said. Our location is ideal, and the spacious house is Clean/Fun/Private/and A Great Value. We regularly hear, "Well designed for multiple families;" "You get what you pay for;" "Your house exceeded our expectations;" "Your house is cleaner than a 5-star hotel;" "Heated Pool is a must;" - We appreciate and respect every guest that walks into our home. I know the weight on your shoulders; renting for your family/friends. I do this all the time with my family and friends. You will be praised by renting this house/property. I want to make sure you understand that you and your guests will be The Only Ones staying on this property.
