Spacious country cottage in a beautiful area. Well-stocked kitchen for cooking meals. About equidistant from ballparks and grocery stores in Cooperstown and Oneonta (25-30 minutes). William (host) was very attentive and responded to inquiries very quickly. Lawn and walking path were freshly mowed and cut nice and close (less worry about picking up ticks), with nice picnic table and outdoor area in back yard.Wi-fi worked well and cell reception is good. Plenty of beds and space for a couple families (keep in mind one bathroom, although it's nice and big)

This was my third visit in the last two years - mostly intended as fishing adventures. During my stay I booked another visit with my family for the 2nd week of September.
I especially enjoy the rustic mood that the property creates once I arrive there.
I had several very enjoyable conversations with William - sharing various experiences I encounter during my stay.
For our next visit in September, William generously offered one extra day free of charge.
The lake, and the sunrise view from the top of the South
Hill offers unique experiences.

Photos show the place when it was clean. The house was strewn with shoes, clothing, bedding...as though the owner just stepped out. Plus there was no address. We weren't about to approach a house based on where we thought it would be. Finally saw a neighbor that told us it was the right one. 'Work in progress' is a stretch. The owner was helpful and reasonable on the phone but the satellite went out and there was no help with the needed password. It would be a great place for a stay with kids. Plenty of beds and one bedroom even has a door.
