Chill out weekend

The house and location was great. Kitchen is awesome, living room really comfortable and cozy. Bedrooms nice, comfortable, do the job. Bathroom more than adequate. Heat in house easy to control and very effective. Location between Utica/New Hartford and Cooperstown is perfect. Smart TV with apps and access to streaming services is very much appreciated. Found the Wi-Fi to be very reliable, even when streaming live TV. Will definitely stay again, looking forward to returning next year!!

Cooperstown

The property was a great place for what we needed as we were only there at night as our days were filled with baseball in Cooperstown. It was well kept, quite and easy to access. The first night getting there in the dark was an adventure on the windy backroads.

A Wonderful Spot

This is a wonderful place to stay. There were six of us and had a lot of room to spread out. Everything was clean and in good working order. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. We also attended the Glimmerglass Opera Festival which was a 20 minute car ride away, taking Route 20 east, then Hoke Road south. It couldn't have been easier. This was my second stay here and I plan to return.

Delightful Country Charm

A trip to watch our grandson play baseball at Dreams Park brought us to the area from Central Florida. Never been to Central/Upstate NY and found it both friendly and beautiful. In so many ways, this property was perfect for us. Our 6 and 10 year old granddaughters couldn’t wait to get “home” to feed the horses and chickens….plus build a fire and boasting to their friends about the fun things to do. The house is very roomy and tastefully updated and decorated inside with everything we needed. If you like country farmhouse living, this will not disappoint.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Farmhouse! It was a perfect get away spot! We came for the Baseball Hall of Fame and it was only a short 25 minute drive. It was so quiet and comfortable and Christine is the perfect host! She even left us fresh syrup and farm fresh eggs! We highly recommend!

A wonderful place for a getaway

We chose this property because we were attending the Glimmerglass Opera Festival. The house was immaculate. Although there were six of us, we had plenty of room as well as outdoor space for hanging out and eating. The drive to Glimmerglass took about 25 minutes, which was not bad. I suppose we could have stayed closer but the value for the money was excellent. The hostess had supplied us with eggs, pancake mix and maple syrup, as well as an excellent range of other kitchen needs like spices, coffee filters and some Keurig pods. I'd stay here again.

Beautiful farmhouse

Beautiful property,great scenery and super hosts. Our grandchildren live nearby but came to visit for two days and they lived close enough for them to go home at night so we had the house to ourselves.They played basketball, watched big trucks clean out ditches and had fun rock hunting. We had a bonfire and cooked s’mores. They were able to play safely. We all ate outdoors at picnic table and we really enjoyed our stay. The hosts even supplied fresh eggs and homemade maple syrup. Fantastic place and hope we can visit again in future! Thank you!!the host even brought over one of the chickens for the kids to pet! Only wish we could have stayed longer!

Silence is Golden

Tucked in pretty much the middle of nowhere lies this most charming country farmhouse. Immaculate and decorated so very nicely. This home has everything you could possibly need for a weekend/longer stay. Wonderful touch with the fresh farm eggs & maple syrup they left for us. Met the owners at the restaurant which was not too far of a drive from the house, wonderful people! Will definitely consider staying her again.

About the host

Hosted by Christine Huxtable

Host profile image
We purchased this old family home from my husbands grandfather. We are the second generation now to own this property. The house has been dated to the pre-civil war era.

It needed a lot of work both inside and outside. Old houses are a labor of love. My husband and I have LOVED this house, we have taken our time updating it and now feel it is ready for visitors to stay. We look forward to having you visit and stay! We love to get feedback so please feel free to give us your constructive criticism.

We are continuing to upgrade and repair the home but want to keep many of the original pre-civil war features. As you walk through the house just think about how old the beautiful floor are!

We make our own real Maple syrup from all the sugar maples that you will see around the property in early spring.

In early to middle fall we collect the wild apple from around the old farm and we press them make the best apple cider.

Why they chose this property

We are perfectly situated in Central NY with Utica NY (home of the boilermaker 15k road race) 20 miles northwest and Cooperstown (so well known for the baseball hall of fame and the Dreams Park)20 miles south west. And so much more in between.

UTICA- is home to many ethnic different cuisines, locally owned restaurants as well as chain restaurants. Tomato pie, halfmoon cookies, Chicken Riggies and Utica greens are just a few foods you dont want to miss. Of course nothing compare to our Pizza. Don't forget about the Saranac brewery. IF you are a coffee lover be sure to stop at the The Utica Coffee Roasting
Do you love trains? Utica has a beautiful train station that host rides to the gateway of the Adirondacks. The Utica Zoo is a small day trip with hundreds of animal to see.

Verona-Turning Stone Casino and golf Resort. Vernon Down Racetrack (horse racing)

COOPERSTOWN home of Americas favorite past time; the Base Ball hall of fame and Dreams Park is a short scenic drive. You can take the highway or the back roads thru the hills. There are some spectacular views. Ommegang brewery and the Rustic ridge winery are great stops on your way back.

OLD FORGE- features NY's largest family water park~The Enchanted Forest Water Safari~ The Adirondacks are beautiful to hike through.
Old forge is also home to the largest General Store, its fun to walk through.

More local to this house we have a ice cream parlor with a brand new beautiful mini golf course that is a 5 minute drive.

Grocery store, gas station, drug store, McDonald's, Liquor store, Pizza and Chinese restaurants are all within a 7 minute drive.

We have several local Amish families that have a variety store and it is open to the public. The local tavern and general store that serve breakfast and lunch within a few minutes.

If you love to fish the Millers Mills hamlet has great fishing in the pond which is the beginning to the Unadilla River.

What makes this property unique

We allow you to place a tent on the property for those kids that enjoy the "camping" aspect of staying in the country.

Have nice camp fire, we will provide the first bundle of fire wood. *please let us know ahead so we can have wood available*

We allow the family pooch to come and stay (large kennel available for rent for the times you cant take him/her with you).

**Before exploring beyond the yard please check with us to verify boundaries. Many of our neighbors hunt, we want to keep everyone safe and happy!**
