As advertised, this is a beautiful home in a very scenic setting. 20 mintues to Cooperstown Dreams Park was ideal for our visit. Check-in was super easy and host was very accomodating. Highly recommend staying here.

Amazing place to stay lived up to its name for sure
My husband and I stayed at Longview Cottage for a work trip. It was just as described, very clean and the views are indeed beautiful! The check process was easy and everything we needed to know about our stay was very clearly available. Richard made sure we knew he was available if we needed him but we didn’t have any questions or problems during our stay. We visit the area often for work and will definitely try to stay again. Maybe we will even come for a pleasure visit and just enjoy the fantastic views from the deck. It’s a great place to watch the sunset.
The house was great. I wasn’t prepared for the gravel roads we’d need to take to access the house. It was as advertised 25 min from Cooperstown Dreams Park, but for a family not used to gravel roads, it seemed farther out of the way.
As advertised, the view was great. The place is surrounded by farms, woods, deer, and turkey. Very quiet and comfortable. Lots of room for whiffle ball and games in the yard. Reasonable drive to Cooperstown and it's attractions, mostly on dirt roads. We'll visit again.
Basically and to sum it all up, this listing is accurately described on Vrbo. Close proximity to Cooperstown, Oneonta and major state parks for hiking. Also, we enjoyed our drives around County with the peaceful, tranquil and scenic rural roads. This cottage was so cozy and lovely that it had all of the amenities of a modern home and more! Owner very hospitable, personable and responsive, living close by!
Absolutely loved the peace and quiet, my kind of of tranquility. The host was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again.
This property was the perfect little getaway for my family's first vacation together since my son was born. We had a wonderful time and had an excellent experience. Would definitely recommend this property.
Thanks so much!
This was an absolute gem of a property - it's even nicer than the photos. It's very open and airy, a lot of space for the 3 of us and our 2 dogs. The pups appreciated having the big open space to run and play outside - we brought a tether along and strapped it to a sturdy tree while they ran about. The view from out back at sunset is stellar, and the property is private while still being a short drive to some of the great spots to see in the area!
The house was perfect for our family! Beautiful kitchen, bedrooms, and living room. Even a hot tub in one of the bathrooms! Lovely view and fireplace. Exceptiona!
Nice home with excellent views. The house has everything you need and Richard is a fantastic host. We messaged him twice and both times he responded immediately and came over to help.
We needed somewhere close to dreams park and this place was great for us. About 20 minutes or so from dreams park and 15 minutes from a golf course for my older teen and I. Had enough room for the 4 of us. I loved the kitchen and big family room. Rich was very nice and responsive. Had a storm roll through the first day and he came and hooked us up to a generator until power was restored (about 2 hours).
Our son was playing at Dreams Park, so this was a place for my husband and I to lay our heads. Place was great for the 2 of us! It was a little far out, but not bad at all for this area of NY.
I would definitely rent from this owner again! Overall experience was great!
My son and II stayed in the house with my dog Grover. The place was as described. About 25 minutes from Cooperstown. Plenty of hiking trails. Lots of room on the property for my dog to run and play. it was our home away from home. The cows nearby were lovely to see. My dog loved looking at them from a distance and they at him. They both ate grass together. Great place to stay. Bring your own shampoo and soap.
No…. This is Mount Vision. But my spouse & I were overwhelmed by the spacious beauty of the property. Look off to the right for an Amazing sunrise & then after a fun day in Cooperstown… look to your left for an Amazing sunset! If you’re into it there’s a smart TV w/ awesome Apps. A “make your vacation” fireplace & of course seclusion if you desire that. I had a problem lighting the bbq so called the owner & he fixed it in a flash! Nice guy as well I think.
Now if there were any “cons” there were 2. First the kitchen area was “clean” but if you’re a germ nut it wasn’t “eat off the counter” spotless so to be quite honest we did like 5 minutes of cleaning ourselves & that’s all it took!! That’s it!
The other “con” is that you have to travel to get anything at all. We followed GPS to get to a General Store only to find that it seems it’s been closed for years. We went all the way back to Cooperstown to buy something (about 25 mins.) & maybe thrre was a better alternative but we didn’t want to bother the owner again. Bottom line we left saying: “gee.. I wonder what he’d take to buy this place!!???” We loved this place!
The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed without being cluttered. It was probably the most quiet and scenic location at which we have stayed at a VRBO property.

About the host
Hosted by Richard Dennis
I grew up nearby in the town of Springfield Center in 1985 I enlisted in the Navy and served 6yr and was aboard the USS Silverside (SSN(679) in 1991 I moved to San Diego to work on Submarines . As I came home for visits I missed the beautiful landscape and outdoor activities Upstate NY has to offer so in 2000 I moved back home and started my own contracting business that I am still doing today
Why they chose this property
I built this house in 2006 for a customer in 2012 he moved and I purchased the home because it borders my property and I wanted to help my daughter get into a home
What makes this property unique
The views the rolling hills and the peace and quite . The only thing that should startle you out here is the wildlife I have been all over the country and I still believe that this is one of the most beautiful place I have ever been.
