Oneonta Thanksgiving 2023

We traveled from the Pacific Coast to visit future family for Thanksgiving. The home was just what we needed for a group of four. We used the kitchen to help prepare dishes for the meal. Great place.

Drake's Escape was a nice stay

We enjoyed our time at Drake's Escape. I stayed with my children and grandparents for my son's tournament week at All Star Village. The property was as pictured and very clean. Linda was easy to work with. We were able to drive to the fields in about 10-12 minutes. We loved watching the storms from the porches.

Great stay!

We stayed here with our 3 younger kids while our oldest played at All Star Village. It was a close drive to ball fields (10ish minutes) and near restaurants, grocery store, Dick's (in case your son forgets his belts too!) etc. Due to the baseball schedule and rain we didn't get to explore the town much but ice cream at Adaline's was delicious and pizza/food at Nina's was yummy. Had some sushi from Tokyo and it wasn't the best. We met the "neighbors" staying at the other Drake property our last day and wish we had met them sooner, but...baseball and rain! So fun to be near other families there for the same reason. Kitchen was well stocked, condiments and all. Very clean. Great yard! Linda was a great host! She was there when we checked in and when we left. Available via text - I was looking for something one evening and texted her and her daughter brought it over from across the street! So sweet! No toiletries, so bring your own shower necessities!

Last minute saviors!

Our family booked this property literally at the last minute when our original VRBO booking was not in serviceable condition. I messaged Linda our situation and within 15 minutes she answered back that she was happy to accommodate us. Within one hour of me messaging her we were moved into the property. I can't believe how easy they made it for us. The property was clean, fresh, and in the right location, only 10 minutes away from All Star Village. There is plenty of space for a team gathering on the property and Linda actually encouraged us to bring them over! Five stars for everything except communication and check-in. For those, if I could 100 stars I would. Our trip would have been spent sleeping on the floor of a teammates VRBO if it wasn't for Linda and this property! Thank you so much!!!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Drake

My husband and I live in Oneonta. I have been a local person all my life. I went to school in Cooperstown and I went to college in Oneonta. I am a bank of information for directions and fun things to do around here. We love to travel and I have some of my photographs in the house. I hope you enjoy them.

Why they chose this property

I raised my three children in this home. We have wonderful memories that were made here. I've always welcomed everyone in my house. I hope to welcome you. I have made the home cozy and comfortable for you. Oneonta is a great place to live. I have traveled all over the world, yet, we chose to live here.

What makes this property unique

Once you wind your way down the streets to the house, one forgets that you are in the city of Oneonta. My children learned to ride bikes on the dead end street. It was a place that they could run and play outside and I didn't have to worry about them. This house was where all their friends were welcome and family happened here! My grown children are excited that I have started this project and I am opening up our home so others can enjoy it.
Oneonta and surroundings offers a lot of entertainment. Some examples are: Oneonta Tigers (minor league baseball team) games in the park down the road, two beautiful parks, Orpheus Theatre, Franklin Play Company, Glimmerglass Opera, many small lakes to visit, Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame (of course), The Farmer's Museum, The Fennimore House, and much more!!!!!!!!!
