We really loved our visit. The house is very cute and the split of the bedrooms worked really well for our family. We hosted a dinner with family from the area and had plenty of space to sit around the table. The kitchen was great to cook in, plenty of room to cook a large meal. I do wish one of the upstairs bedrooms had a larger bed in it but we made it work and would still book this house again in the future.
Incredible overall stay! Cannot say enough good things about the house, owners and property. Our family and friends stayed during the week long Cooperstowns baseball tournament - close enough to the fields to not be a huge hassle/time commitment and plenty of activities to do at the house to keep everyone entertained. Everyone was fishing, paddle boarding and swimming in the lake all week. Great family vacation home and the owners were so good at communicating with if we had any issues or questions. Would highly recommend this property!!
We had a wonderful time! The lake is small, but very private and we basically had it to ourselves. Plenty of boats (kayak, canoes, paddelboards) and floaties to have fun with on the water. The dock is amazing to just sit and relax on. Fire pit with firewood provided was awesome!
The house itself is nicely appointed and comfy. Beds were comfy with the exception of the one trundle which was so hard it felt almost more like a boxspring. The pull out couch in the downstairs didn't actually have room to pull out fully (hit the wall and we didn't want to add to the marks already on the wall) - so something to note if you are planning on using that. Couches were comfy. Kitchen had everything you should need.
We had a great stay and would definitely return!
Host answered all and any questions quickly. Property as described. Just a quick walk to the pond, the kids had a great time. The paddle boats and paddle boat was a huge hit. For relaxing in the evening the wifi was quick speed and lots of options on tv. We loved being able to bring our dogs too. Also made a day trip to the baseball hall of fame (about an hour drive). Will definitely stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Bill garrecht
Long Islanders who have been escaping to the Catskills for 30 years. A mother/wife who is retired from the NYPD after 22 years of service. A father/husband who owns his own servicing company and a daughter who is off to college to start her own journey, much to our dismay. We find solace in our visits Upstate surrounded by our Golden Retrievers, Molly, Mabel and Maude.
Why they chose this property
A unique setting, nestled in a rural paradise, with a refreshing swim a stones throw away. Close enough to civilization to meet your shopping needs, while also providing peace and solitude. If a wooded setting, on the edge of a lake is your thing, then this is the right place for you
What makes this property unique
14 miles from All Star Village with enough room to fit your young ballplayers. Skiing is under an hour away. Close to Sydney Dam Lake, Oneonta and Walton. Cooperstown is 37 miles away. Enjoy the baseball, and rest up lakeside at the end of the day.
