About this property

Peaceful 5-Acre Country Retreat with Cali~King Bed, Fire Pit & Near Oneonta

Welcome to Cherries & Charm — a peaceful 3-bedroom, 2-bath country retreat set on five acres in beautiful Upstate New York.

Whether you're traveling for a Cooperstown-area baseball tournament, visiting your college student, spending time with family, exploring Animal Adventure Park, attending a wedding or simply escaping for a quiet weekend in the country, Cherries & Charm gives you a comfortable place to come home to at the end of the day.

Here, mornings are a little quieter, evenings are perfect for gathering around the fire pit, and there's room for everyone to spread out, relax and enjoy time together.

THE HOME

Cherries & Charm is a private home designed with families, couples and small groups in mind.

You'll have three comfortable bedrooms:

• California King bedroom
• Queen bedroom
• Full bedroom

Fresh linens, comfortable bedding and plenty of pillows are provided so you can settle in and get a good night's rest after a busy day.

Need a little extra space? Our oversized Lovesac SuperSac in the living room is a guest favorite for movie nights, reading and relaxing, and can also provide an additional sleeping option for one adult or two children.

With two full bathrooms, families and groups have plenty of room to get ready without everyone waiting for the same bathroom. One bathroom also includes a bathtub—especially helpful when traveling with children or when you simply want a relaxing soak at the end of the day.

RELAX & FEEL AT HOME

The living room is made for slowing down and spending time together.

Curl up on the Lovesac, watch a movie, play games, catch up with family or simply put your feet up after exploring Upstate New York.

High-speed Wi-Fi makes it easy to stream your favorite shows, plan the next day's adventures or stay connected if you need to get a little work done during your stay.

A KITCHEN FOR REAL FAMILY TRIPS

One of the nicest parts of renting a home instead of several hotel rooms is being able to make breakfast in your pajamas, pack snacks before heading out for the day or sit down together for dinner.

Our kitchen is stocked with the essentials you'll need for everyday cooking, including:

• Pots and pans
• Cooking utensils
• Dishes, glasses and silverware
• Coffee maker
• Microwave
• Refrigerator
• Stove and oven
• Basic cooking essentials

We also enjoy leaving a few complimentary snacks and beverages for our guests. It's a small touch, but after a long day of traveling, we hope it helps you feel welcome from the moment you arrive.

FIVE PEACEFUL ACRES

The country setting is one of our favorite things about Cherries & Charm.

Step outside, breathe in the fresh air and enjoy having space around you.

Depending on the season, you may wake to birds singing, spot local wildlife, watch the colors change across the countryside or simply enjoy how peaceful it can be away from the hustle and bustle.

There's room for the kids to enjoy the outdoors, and our fire pit makes a wonderful gathering place in the evening.

After a full day of baseball, sightseeing, college activities or exploring the area, come home, pull up a chair and spend the evening around the fire under the Upstate New York sky.

A GREAT HOME BASE FOR EXPLORING

Cherries & Charm is located in Afton, NY, making it a convenient country home base for exploring destinations throughout the region, including Oneonta, Cooperstown and Binghamton.

Guests stay with us for all kinds of reasons, including:

• Holiday visits
• Hiking and outdoor recreation
• Antique shopping and local exploring
• Weekend and couples' getaways

You'll also find seasonal farm markets, orchards, hiking, fishing, kayaking, winter activities and plenty of opportunities to explore the beauty of Upstate New York.

PERFECT FOR BASEBALL FAMILIES

If you're coming to the area for baseball, having a house to return to can make a busy tournament trip much more comfortable.

Instead of spending your downtime in separate hotel rooms, your family can spread out, prepare meals, relax together and enjoy some quiet country time between all the excitement.

After a long day cheering from the sidelines, Cherries & Charm gives everyone a comfortable place to recharge for the next game.

VISITING YOUR COLLEGE STUDENT?

Cherries & Charm is also a great option for parents and families visiting students in the Oneonta or Binghamton area.

Having three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and comfortable gathering spaces can be especially convenient for family weekends, move-in and move-out trips, graduations and other college events—particularly when grandparents, siblings or extended family are traveling together.

A LITTLE EXTRA HOSPITALITY

Cherries & Charm isn't managed like an impersonal hotel. It's a home that we genuinely enjoy sharing with our guests.

You'll find a Welcome Binder inside with helpful information and some of our favorite local recommendations, including:

• Restaurants
• Coffee shops
• Local attractions
• Family activities
• Shopping
• Grocery stores
• Outdoor activities
• House information
• Emergency information

Our hope is simple: that Cherries & Charm feels comfortable, welcoming and just a little bit like home while you're here.

We'd love to welcome you to our little corner of Upstate New York.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Price

Host profile image
Hi! I’m Jamie, a nurse, mom of four, and your host at Cherries & Charm. I was born and raised in Upstate New York, and family has always been at the heart of just about everything I do.

For several years, I stepped away from my career to care for my mother-in-law as her dementia progressed. It was a challenging chapter for our family, but it also reminded me how important home, family, and the little moments we share together truly are.

Cherries & Charm grew into something really special for me during that time. Hosting gave me a way to help support our family while also doing something I genuinely love—creating a warm, comfortable space where other families can spend time together and make memories of their own.

I love decorating, crafting, and finding those little touches that can make a house feel more like home. Whether it’s leaving a few snacks for your arrival, making sure the beds are cozy, or sharing our favorite local places, I want guests to feel that there’s a real person behind Cherries & Charm who truly cares about their stay.

As a mom of four, I also know what traveling with a family is like! I appreciate having space to spread out, a kitchen when everyone is hungry, comfortable beds after a long day, and somewhere the whole family can simply relax together.

For me, Cherries & Charm is more than a vacation rental. It’s a little piece of our Upstate New York life that I’m grateful to share with others.

Whether you’re here for baseball, visiting family, seeing your college student, exploring the area, or simply looking for a peaceful getaway, I hope you arrive as our guest and leave feeling like you found a little home away from home. ❤️

— Jamie
