Upstate Winter Relaxation

We had a lovely time staying at the Smith House for a week during a brutally cold stretch in January. The multiple fireplaces/wood stoves kept the place toasty and oh so comfy while we worked (great WiFi), ate and relaxed - in between visiting upstate family. Cooperstown is quiet this time of year, but that suited us fine for this trip. The home is really lovely, exactly as described, and the whole process was simple. Highly recommend!

Beautiful House and Location!

Our stay at the Smith House was absolutely amazing. This is by far the best VRBO our family has stayed in. The house was perfect for our family to gather for our daughters wedding which was held at the Farmers Museum. The layout, rooms, and property, exceeded our expectations. Loved this house!

Excellent location and beautiful home

The Smith house was the perfect choice for our group during our week at dreams park. The location was so close to the fields and in a beautiful, quiet setting. The house is spacious inside and the game areas were perfect for keeping the kids busy during downtime. The owner was very helpful as well and easy to work with. Would highly recommend this property!

Our group had an amazing stay at the Smith house. The house was absolutely perfect and had so much character. The fire swing and wiffle ball field were definitely a highlight after long days at the baseball fields. We would recommend the Smith house in a heartbeat!

This house is amazing. Great location for games at Cooperstown. Beds were so comfy we bought some for our own home. Only complaint is I’m glad I bring a blanket with me when I travel because there aren’t extras in the house. This house was worth it!

Great family home!

The Smith House was a great place to stay during our son’s baseball tournament. It is close in proximity to Dreams Park as well as Cooperstown! The house was charming and accommodated our large group very well. The host was also very helpful about giving us recommendations about things to do in the area. I would highly recommend staying at the Smith House!

Wonderful Stay!

A really great home and space for a large group of friends or families. The bedrooms were all large with very comfortable beds. The communal areas were wonderful to hang out in and the kitchen was great to cook in! Close to all that Cooperstown has to offer. We checked out some local restaurants and breweries that were all less than 10 minutes away. We cannot wait to return!

Great stay at the Smith house

We had a group of 14 with age ranges 6-72. There was plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen was very well equipped. Beds were comfortable including the air mattress. The house was very clean. The hot tub was clean and xl which was nice. We did have trouble with the breaker a couple of times but we got it to work. Only a 10 minute drive to Cooperstown. We definitely recommend this house!

Amazing

Everything from start to finish was amazing with our stay. We were there as a group for Cooperstown Dreams Park. 3 families rented the house and it was specious enough for everyone to feel comfortable. Our husbands were coaches and came back on occasion to enjoy a nice hot shower, the hot tub and to relax. We hosted our team dinner one night and the kids loved the wiffle ball field. We plan on returning and without a doubt we will contact Time.

Perfect Stay for Cooperstown Dreams Park

While the boys and coaches stayed in the Cooperstown Dreams bunkhouse, we enjoyed the spaciousness, amenities, and convenience of the Smith property. Minutes from the fields, it couldn’t have been better located. We hosted a team pizza party with the boys and adults making full use of the wiffle ball field, fire pit, and ample outdoor space. With lights on the wiffle ball field, the only way we got the team to leave was to meet curfew at the bunkhouse. Being able to bring our fur-kid made the vacation complete. Would 100% stay here again and fully recommend to any group visiting Cooperstown Dreams Park.

A Thanksgiving to Remember

We’ve been renting properties for years for Thanksgiving. The 12 of us agree, this was our favorite! The home was immaculate. We have never stayed anywhere cleaner. The home had everything we needed to cook a beautiful Thanksgiving feast and the long table was a welcome addition! The house had something for everyone. The kids and teens enjoyed plenty of time in the basement playing ping pong and Wii and the adults took advantage of the billiard room and the hot tub. Although it was rainy during our stay, we checked out the whiffle ball field and got in a few innings. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience all around. We’ll be back!

Great spot for HOF trip!

This property was perfect for our extended families baseball hall of fame trip - which was an easy 10 minute drive from the house. There was more than enough room for the 10 of us (ages 9-72) and we were greeted with coffee and doughnuts from a local bakery. The property is quiet, wooded and secluded with a lighted wiffleball field to use - which the kids and adults all loved. We enjoyed the wrap around deck, hot tub and fire pit outside for s'mores and an evening fire. Inside the kids loved the basement with plenty of games including ping pong and foosball. It was al little cool in May, but the wood burning stoves worked excellent - and the wood was provided. I would recommend to this to any kind of larger group looking to stay near Cooperstown, and I will hopefully return as well!

Great house for more than one family!

We had five different family groups staying here on the one house as our boys and a few husbands were staying at Cooperstown Dream Park. Two of the Dads enjoyed cooking in the spacious, open kitchen while the Mom’s and kids played outside, went for walks, played games or lounged around the house. The pool table was a huge hit as we experienced a lot of rain while we were there, but when it wasn’t raining we were outside on the wiffle ball field or on the deck enjoying our time together. There were plenty of toys and games provided so you don’t need to bring your own. Our only hiccups were quickly resolved and made right by the owner who was easy to reach when needed. We appreciated the extra chairs in the garage as some of our group flew to NY (from MO) and needed chairs to watch our boys. This house has everything to offer a large family or multiple family’s. We just wish we could have stayed longer than the week we were there.

About the host

Hosted by Timothy A Smith

Host profile image
This is my childhood home, which we built in 1992, moved away from in 2004, and we purchased again in 2020. Having this home back in the family is the fulfillment of a long-held dream. I grew up here, I love it here, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share it with all who may visit.

Why they chose this property

This property is uniquely situated overlooking the Susquehanna River Valley, just a few miles south of the Village of Cooperstown. It is ideal for multiple families or larger groups visiting the area, and offers something for visitors of all ages.

What makes this property unique

The Smith House is located just minutes from The Village of Cooperstown, The Cooperstown Dreams Park, and Brewery Ommegang (among others). Even with this ideally-centralized location, the privacy and seclusion of the house is impossible to beat. With 17 acres to explore, visitors will be able to enjoy the beautiful upstate New York scenery.

The house itself is beautiful, spacious, and recently updated with all new furniture.
