The hosts were amazing and so was the property. We loved being away from the busy part of Cooperstown during the baseball games, but close enough to enjoy the sites and food
This property is very tranquil and private. The charming cabin is clean, nicely furnished, and well stocked with everything you’d need. I found the queen bed to be quite comfortable. The whole place feels like it was built and decorated with love. As for the hosts, they went above and beyond. When the ignition button on the existing grill didn’t work, they came and replaced it with a whole new grill. In sum, staying here was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend it.
This is a great little cabin: clean, comfortable, private, and conveniently located with easy access to restaurants and groceries. It was a great for a weekend getaway.
Outstanding location and property. The Cabin is clean and spacious. The hosts are nothing short of amazing! We have rented this cabin before and look forward to renting again.
Rustic, cozy, comfortable log cabin on a secluded lot. Cabin was well appointed and equipped. Had a great front porch that our group used and enjoyed daily. Matt was a wonderful accommodating host.
The cabin was perfect for my family. Very clean and had all the amenities we needed. The kids had a great time exploring and my husband and I enjoyed relaxing on the covered porch, especially during a rain storm. I would definitely suggest this cabin for anyone wanting to get away for a bit.
We stayed here during our Cooperstown baseball tournament. Great price and only about 35 mins from the fields. Very easy getting in and the host was very responsive! Highly recommended!
It is the cutest! Super private property...house and yard clean and tidy. We imagined having this log cabin for ourselves... really easy as they had everything in the house - no need to bring your own towels or sheets - all there for you. Recommend for quiet time away.

Wonderful guests. Very respectful of the house and property. They left the cabin neat as a pin! They are welcome back anytime.
Wonderful location, peaceful and surrounded by nature. My children loved searching for frogs and salamanders. The cabin was well designed for a family and the front porch is the perfect place to have your morning coffee. The hosts were super attentive and helpful for the entire stay.
This is one of the best places I've ever stayed. It was exactly what I wanted relaxation and the natural beauty of the forest all around. Everything was amazing, everyone was happy, and we all felt recharged by it. This is a solid 10 out of 10.

About the host
Hosted by Matt & Diane Taylor
Your hosts run an alpaca farm approximately 1/4 mile away. Farm tours available by appointment. We want your stay to be a memorable experience so if there is anything that you need, just ask! And if you fall in love with the area and want to buy a house or piece of land, your host Diane is a local real estate agent and would love to help you out!
Why they chose this property
We chose this cabin to purchase as an income property because it is within close proximity to our primary residence and is set on a private and beautiful piece of property. The cabin was hand built by a local craftsman and exhibits beautiful woodwork. We have made many upgrades to the cabin and property. Although we live less than 1/4 mile away, we have used the cabin as our own getaway and take great pride in its upkeep.
What makes this property unique
Located in the foothills of the Catskills, this area has so much to offer. We will share any knowledge and make any recommendations so that your stay is an enjoyable and memorable one.
