Great stay for baseball tournament!

We had a wonderful week in the cabin! Our family of 3 as well as two sets of grandparents had a very comfortable visit. The place was clean, convenient and spacious. We used the pavilions a few nights for team get togethers and it was so fun! Definitely recommend this place!

Drake's Escape was the perfect place to stay during our Cooperstown trip! The location was perfect - less than 10 minutes from the field and we were able to make few late night food runs for the boys when they had late games. We had grandparents with us and it was great to be able to go back to rest in between games and to minimize their time in the sun. Linda was the best host - when we accidentally locked ourselves out - she came by in less than 10 minutes to get us back in. This is the perfect spot to stay for Cooperstown!

I’m so happy that you enjoyed your stay. Our location makes it easy to jump on the main highway and go completely around the city which leads you right to the baseball field. Perfect for taking a break when you’ve had enough baseball, or heat or rain as well of course. I never knows what the weather is going to , especially these days. I’m always available to come help out if needed. I was happy to help you and you locked yourself out. My goal is to make sure everyone has a wonderful time on a vacation and is able to create some terrific memories while staying in a very clean nice home.

MVP Hustle SD Family

Linda was awesome and very responsive to all my questions. This was a perfect stay for our baseball families. The outdoor bbq patio was great and we used it several times even with the rain we were able to enjoy it since it had a patio top cover. I would definitely recommend Drake’s Escape for the perfect Cooperstown trip!!!

I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay. The property is definitely a nice break away from all the baseball activity. The pavilion is great for team gatherings but also just a nice place to hang out when it rains. Next time you’re in the area, please do Stay with us! Thanks for telling all your friends!!!!!

Perfect setup!

Drakes Escape was the perfect location and place to stay when your child is playing at All Star Dreams. You are close to the fields, close to downtown Oneonta, and the pavilion/area for kids to play is absolutely perfect! We did a bbq one night and got our whole team together and it was a blast! I would highly recommend Linda and Drakes Escape! Linda was always there to answer questions if needed and provided us with anything we needed!

Perfect CASV group accommodations

Drake’s escape did not disappoint. We were only 10 minutes from CASV with lots around us (grocery and restaurants). Our cottage was perfect for 2 families. We had our own space plus shared space. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The owners were amazing. Attentive and informative. With the 3 places on one property, this is the perfect location for team families to rent together. We enjoyed the shared pavilion each evening to finish our days. If you have a group looking to be close together, check this place out!

Cooperstown All Star Village Event

This property is perfect for a family who likes to eat out and stay in to cook. It is practically brand new. It's only about 12 minutes from All Star Village and only 5 minutes from the downtown area that has some great places to eat. It's important to be close to the fields since you'll be driving to/from the fields several times a day. This house also has a washer/dryer which is CRITICAL. Your clothes will be so dusty and dirty after days at the field and your son's baseball clothes will stink! We would absolutely stay here again.

Thank you so much for your nice review. I’m so happy that you had a comfortable stay. Our goal is to have all of our guests have a wonderful experience while creating new memories! Location is a key!!! The cabins are practically “new.” They were just completed when Covid hit, so not many people have stayed in them so far. We look forward to seeing you next time!!!!

What a terrific place to stay!!!

Last week we stayed at the Drake's Escape Barn for my son's tournament in Cooperstown. The house itself was brand new, clean and had everything we needed for a great stay. We were fortunate enough to meet Linda (the owner) in person, who is very nice and incredibly attentive with her communication and obviously cares very much about the experience people have in staying at her rental. I recommend this listing without even the slightest hesitation. Further, it should be noted that she has two adjacent properties (soon to be more) that could be used for the purpose of having a lot of your team together on the same property. There's a pavilion so the team could have a great picnic and BBQ. Thanks for a great week Linda!

Quick to Cooperstown All Star Village

We originally booked at a local hotel. When we got to the hotel, it was a nightmare! We quickly started looking for a home and found Drake’s Escape. The owner, Linda, responded to our SOS immediately! She gave us the address to drive by and she even met us there. Her hospitality and kindness was amazing. We thoroughly loved our stay. Our last night, we used the BBQ and sat outside for our last dinner at the house. We comfortably fit two families of 3 and had room for maybe 1 more family. We were there for Cooperstown. The identical house next store is also hers and the entire property is large enough for a few baseball families to stay together and enjoy the huge yard and BBQ.

I’m so happy that you got to stay with us. It’s frustrating when one is excited for their vacation and book their stay on trust, and when they get there it’s a terrible place. Your review shows people that our properties are very nice and a lovely stay. Additionally, it is a great place for barbecues and even team parties. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay!!! Thanks for the nice review!!! Please come again!!!!

Enjoyable stay & very close to Cooperstown All-Star Village

Overall great stay! I could not have asked for better accommodations! Unlike properties that mislead consumers about how close they are to Cooperstown All-Star Village, this one did not. I was very close and went back & forth many times to the property! Thank you Linda!
