My family loved the home and the surroundings. We were able to rest and relax prior to and after my brother's nine-hour celebration of life. I would recommend the hosts and the home to any family wanting to be together in a beautiful place. The house was clean, well-maintained and the hosts friendly and accommodating. Since we traveled all the way from Maine, it was a relief that our visit went so smoothly.
It was nice hosting your family. Thank you again for booking your stay with us. Best to all of you.

Thank you, Karen.
It was a a treat having your extended family spend time together at our home.
The property was set in the hills and farms of Richfield. The antique home was clean, well, maintained, and offered all of the comforts of home.
The host was responsive both prior to, and during, our stay.
We would definitely recommend this property whether you are visiting f the Hall of Fame, enjoying lake activities, or in town for baseball.

Joshua and his family were extremely clean, considerate and respectful. The type of guest you look forward to hosting.
We were in Cooperstown for a tournament at Dreams Park. This country home was beautiful, comfortable, quiet and well-maintained with classic antiques and all needed amenities. Being able to feed and pet farm animals was a treat for all. The drive in to town was scenic and the host was friendly and very helpful, even providing eggs a couple mornings from the free-range chickens. A most enjoyable stay for a family from a big city.

In spite of a rating error through VRBO, Vicki and her wonderful family were the perfect guests. They were 5-star guests throughout their stay. Our home was treated with the utmost overall care, and cleanliness. All rules were adhered to, and Vicki was an excellent communicator. We very much enjoyed hosting this family. I would love to see them return anytime.
Renee and Nate’s property was beautiful and very well suited for our family of six adults and one 2 year old. The large, well-equipped kitchen and living area gave us plenty of room to gather together for dining, games and just hanging out. The outdoor property was very welcoming with beautiful flower gardens and lots of animals! Our grandson ( and the adults) loved visiting the dog, cats, chickens, goats, pigs and horses! Renee and Nate were very welcoming, gracious hosts and having them on property was a pleasure. Reasonable distance to Cooperstown and the lake. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful, top notch guests! Diana was the best at communication, care and cleanliness of the home. The guest members were great to meet and very friendly. The perfect family to take in all that Cooperstown has to offer. Thank you all for choosing to stay. Please come back any time.
We were greeted with a smile upon our arrival. The host gave us a tour of the amazing house and I could always text her if we needed anything! It was a great stay especially with the beautiful setting. Our boys played at Cooperstown so it was not far and a great house for the boys the few nights they stayed with us. More room than we could of asked for. Highly recommend!!
We had a great weekend in Cooperstown. Our host was very welcoming and easily accommodated our large group. There is a big outdoor space where our boys could play.
The house is charming. The third floor is its own level where our teenagers were able to relax and enjoy themselves late into the night.
Clean, comfortable, close to the lake and all the attractions Cooperstown has to offer. This place is one of our favorite houses we have visited.

We enjoyed hosting you and all the guys. Great to meet kind, respectful kids.
Happy the whole house was utilized. Perfect for large groups.
This is a one of a kind experience and for those participating in the dreamspark baseball tournament in Cooperstown, this is a great place to stay. The home itself is very historic but it is updated and as comfortable as can be. The family that owns the property is great and there if you need them. There is a golf course across the street… it is a very challenging and interesting par 58 and very reasonable price wise… you will love the house and we spent the evenings or mornings (depending on baseball schedule) hanging out in the perfectly manicured backyard.

Sam and his family were an absolute delight to host. So easy going, kind and all around wonderful. They were the perfect guests, clean, easy to communicate with and great sense of humor. Would certainly welcome them back anytime.
Hands down this was the property our daughter and family HAD to experience based on the special co-habitants of the estate! Our weeklong visit exceeded everyone’s expectations! The stunning beauty and warmth of this “soon to be” 200 year old home was magnified by the owners, Renee’ and Nat! They are absolutely wonderful hosts and stewards of their menagerie of “pets” on their beautiful property! Our grandchildren quickly adopted this home and all of the residents and Renee’ and Nat graciously provided opportunities for interaction!
Our heartfelt gratitude to our hosts for a week we will always cherish!
We had a fabulous 10 day stay at Renee and Nate’s beautiful home. The house itself was spacious, comfortable and clean, as well as beautifully decorated. It was only 5 minutes to Glimmerglass Opera Festival where my son was performing so it was ideal, and it’s also a short drive into the fun little town. The golf course right across the street was nice for a relaxed golf game. Our children and grandchildren were in love with the horses and pigs, and got to watch them being fed in the morning.The two dogs and cats were also feeling like members of the family by the time we left! Most importantly, Renee and Nate couldn’t have been more welcoming, kind and helpful. Highly recommend a stay here.

There is nothing better for a host than to have appreciative, tidy, caring guests. It brings joy to know the extent you enjoyed the house, the property and all it has to offer. Your kind remarks mean the most to both of us. You are all welcome at any time. Best to you!
We had an excellent stay at Renee and Nate's. Nice property with many of spaces to relax. Highly recommend if you are at Dreams Village or have activities in Cooperstown. Our baseball tournament were at Cooperstown All Star Village (in Oneonta) which was a bit farther than we had anticipated, so we had a lot of time in the car and not on the property, which was my mistake. Beds were comfy with nice linens. They had lots of animals which were fun for the kids! Personable, accommodating hosts and nearby as they are in the adjoining house. Thank you again for the hospitality!

Thank you Jenn for the lovely review. It’s a pleasure to meet and host such a nice group of people.
We arrived an hour and a half early to simply drop off our luggage. The owner came at me from inside, verbally assaulted me in front of my children and told me I was a bad example for them. We left because they live there and we didn’t feel safe. They would not issue refund.

House Rules
The house rules are really quite simply stated, check-in at 4:00 pm and check-out by 10:00 am. Our home is a three-story beautiful, well appointed and nearly 200 years young stone house. We clean the home ourselves, assuring top notch service. I take pride in the cleanliness, attention to detail and extra everything put into a guest stay. Fortunately, the house rules we have established allow us the time to properly prepare for each guest. I'm happy to stand by our 7 year record of 5-star results, and the reviews speak for themselves. Unfortunately, not everyone wants to be considerate of your personal home and space. On to happy guests!
Nate’s property is a terrific place to stay. Rooms are very comfortable and kitchen is fully equipped. The chickens and farm animals were a delight to our kids and Nate and his family were so kind to show them the animals frequently. Highly recommended
This was the most magical experience. Renee and her family were the most incredible hosts. The house is exquisite with everything one needs and the grounds amazing. We will be returning ASAP.

The best guests this summer! Love them all. Wonderful in every way a host would want. Truly hope to see them all again very soon.
If you are looking for a getaway with both the quiet of nature and family time; or the opportunity to get on the lake or stroll through town, this space offers it all! A perk is the golf course next door for al the golfers out there! We really enjoyed our time at this stone cottage.
The house and farm are both amazing. Decorating is perfection. My family all loved all of the farm animals and host family's pets as well. I will admit, I wasn't clear that the host family lived on the property so that was a bit of a surprise but they were the most lovely and accommodating, personable, just really genuinely good, kind people. We enjoyed farm fresh eggs a couple of mornings! :) Explored walking the property and hanging out with family we hadn't seen in some time. It can get warm in the bedrooms at night but we left an extra fan to help with the breeze.
The purpose of our trip was to participate in the 12U baseball tournament at Dreamspark - it was an easy 30 minute drive to get there and a picturesque drive.
I highly recommend this spot. It really was perfect. :)

Quaint, historic home near Cooperstown and Glimmerglass Opera
We rented the home for a reunion in Richfield Springs. There were 9 adults in the house and we were very comfortable. Renee and her family were very accommodating! The house had all the amenities we needed except the internet was not working during our stay and none of us had cell service due to the remote location. This was the one big drawback. It was also a very hot weekend (90+ temps) and the top floor of the house got very hot as it had no A/C. This is unusual for this area however so we understood it was not normal. We would definitely stay here again!
