About this property

Hawk Nest - Lakefront - Beach - Sunsets - Fire Ring!

Charmingly rustic, custom-crafted cottage in a fairytale setting on 1.6 lakefront acres with private beach, swim platform, canoe, two kayaks and a blissful porch to take in the gorgeous lake and sunset vistas. Wade into the water from the gradual beachfront for superb swimming. Enjoy an evening beachfront fire as the sun sets upon this magical place.

Located just 15 minutes north of the village of Cooperstown, 16.4 miles from Dreams Park, Hawk Nest offers three bedrooms; one with a king bed, one queen bedroom and one single twin bedroom (the "moon" room is a 4th bedroom option with a full size futon) and 1.5 baths, a country kitchen, sunny and cheerful dining room, and two sitting rooms, all with views of the lake. The fireplace was built from fallen chimney bricks from the oldest house in Springfield Center.

The upstairs bedrooms have free-standing air conditioners for use on those gorgeous hot sunny days!

There is dining available inside and out! Have a cup of coffee or tea outside each morning and take in the beauty of the lake.

For your outdoor enjoyment you will find two kayaks and numerous life jackets of various sizes. There are 3 bicycles for 2 adults and 1 child with helmets.

There is an expansive lawn with plenty of room for outdoor games - you will find bocci, volleyball, and badminton. There are 3 swings (two saddle seats and one baby seat as well as a trapeze bar). Have fun in the sun with beach toys or a BBQ. There is ample parking available as well.

If wholesome summer fun is your wish, then Hawks Nest cottage is your destination!

I almost hate to leave a good review because I want to keep it to myself!

This is our second stay and we just love this place. It is NOT fancy and in the midst of the summer, you may long for a/c on the first floor . BUT it is the perfect, quiet location (and yet close enough to Cooperstown) and we love this quirky little cabin. It has everything you might need in terms of amenities and supplies. We love having a washer/dryer so we can pack lighter. My husband had a great time fishing and I enjoyed birdwatching. We can't wait to come back!

Not worth it

Not as nice as pics make it. Not worth the money. The lawn was mowed while we were there trying to have lunch on the porch. He was there well over an hour. Another day, the owners "good friend" came through yard with a dog claiming she didn't know someone was there. Obviously sent to check is out, she seemed very nervous. The house is very hot even with the stand alone air-conditioners. The property is very private and the beach firepit was great. Overall we had a decent time but have stayed in much better for less.

Perfect

At the quiet end of the lake with lots of wildlife (birds, loons, deer). My husband loved getting up in the wee hours of the morning and fishing and I loved my tea on the porch. The house itself is beautiful - quirky and cozy and we loved reading about the history. It had everything we could have possibly needed and was only about 15 minutes from Cooperstown's restaurants and attractions. We can't wait to come back. I sincerely thank you for sharing your lovely home with others. It was a magical weekend.
