Stayed at this beautiful lake front property while in town playing at Cooperstown. Had all the comforts of home plus more. Very easy check-in and checkout. Very clean, and all of the boats kept my family entertained when not on the field. We had a campfire and BBQ on our final night with another family, many fish were caught and drinks were had. What a fantastic place to stay, greatful to have found the listing.

My family and I had a blast at Susan’s Lake house. It was the perfect retreat to come back to after long days of baseball. My son was sad that he had to bunk at Cooperstown instead of being able to stay with us here. Many amazing memories made for sure.

Incredible lakeside getaway

This was a perfect location and a cozy home away from the craziness of Allstar Village, Cooperstown. We were able to enjoy peace and quiet on the lake and it was such a beautiful property. My son caught TONS of fish and we both spent hours kayaking and canoeing. Some of our friends stayed close by and their homes were a bit more updated, but they didn't have the use of a lakeside lawn (for wiffleball) and the easy access to the water. Susan let us use her boats and fishing rods - this made all the difference and we had the best and most magical time ever. Susan was also very responsive and we appreciated that. We even saw some fireflies. Thank you!!

Beautiful view and lake access. House inside is outdated. No central A/C. Bunk beds were not made when we arrived, only a comforter over mattress. House had spiders and spider webs throughout. There was also dust throughout house. There is only one tv, which is pretty small. Pool table/ping pong is misleading as it is a miniature set upstairs without adequate room to even play and missing pieces.

Great place for families.

We stayed here while my son was playing baseball in Cooperstown,NY. This was a perfect spot to not be in the more congested area around park while still having the convience of being only 15-20 mins from the park. We enjoyed having the place on the lake to fish and relax.

This was the perfect lake house for our trip to Cooperstown! It was the most beautiful, peaceful setting and only a 15 minute east drive to CASV.
