About this property

Sunrise Lodge at Mt. Waiontha: An Outdoor Experience

Located only 14 miles from downtown Cooperstown, Sunrise Lodge is the perfect get away. This 2 bedroom, 1 bath lodge situated on 100 private acres, provides guests with breath-taking views of the area. Sunrise Lodge offers miles of mowed walking trails, scenic views, picnic areas with tables, and "catch and release" fishing in one of the 10 ponds. At the end of your day you can gather around our campfire ring to recap your day and take in the night sky and stars. When winter arrives, guests can cross country ski and snowshoe throughout the property. Winter also offers opportunities for snowmobiling. Our lodge is located along a NYS corridor trail that is maintained by the Canadarago Snowtoppers and we have plenty of parking for trucks and trailers of any size. After a long day on the trail you can come home to the lodge and warm up by the wood stove.

Inside Sunrise Lodge, guests will find sleeping accomodations for 4 adults and 2 children. This includes one queen size bed and 4 twin size beds. Other amenities include a full kitchen, bbq grill, outdoor eating area, full size washer/dryer, flat screen TV, and good cell phone service.

Area attractions within 30 minutes of the lodge include: National Baseball Hall of Fame, Farmers Museum, Fenimore Art Museum, Glimmerglass Opera, Glimmerglass State Park, Brewery Ommegang, Otsego Lake, Canadarago Lake and boat launch, Dreams Park and numerous shops and eateries.

We can't say enough how much we enjoyed our stay. The Sunrise Lodge is magical. We have four kids and they loved every inch of the lodge and the outdoor areas. The youngest two said it was the best place for playing hide and seek. Brad was so friendly and accommodating. Great tip about swimming at Glimmerglass! We would definitely stay again...the location is close to all the area attractions, but away from the crowds.

Brad was extremely friendly and accessible, and stopped by after we had gotten settled just to see how things were going.The property is absolutely beautiful and provided the peaceful break we were looking for at the end of long days of baseball. The longer ride to the All Star Village was worth it for us. My kids enjoyed the loft sleeping area and there was plenty of space for all of us.

Very nice place, very clean and very well stocked. When I say very well stocked, I mean Brad and family have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. The views are incredible, and fishing on the in the ponds on the property was amazing. We stayed during our son’s Cooperstown tournament and the drive in to Cooperstown every day amazingly beautiful. We will certainly return to this place if our younger sons play in Cooperstown. One of the best VRBO experiences I have ever had.

Cooperstown Getaway

We absolutely loved the cabin and had a wonderful time as a family fishing and sitting around at the fire pit at night. Such a beautiful place! Brad was a great host! He provided fishing poles and multiple loads of firewood for the fire pit! Short distance to Cooperstown Dreams Park and provided a quiet getaway from the ball field. My grown adult boys absolutely loved fishing in the pond and actually catching fish! Would definitely stay again!

Great, serene, countryside location with view from a hilltop. Very well equipped kitchen and household supplies. Many many many outlets for charging devices. Comfortable beds. Although it only had one bathroom for three bedrooms, it was adequate for our foursome. Extra touches like lots of bottles of water and a full on s’mores kit to use with the fire pit were appreciated. Would love to have stolen one of those rocking Adirondack chairs, but… Alas… It wouldn’t fit in our suitcase. Very clean and the house was small enough that two window air conditioners more than adequately cooled the house.

An at once serene and breathtaking atmosphere, the cabin was perfect for our family of five. Great views of the mountains and valleys of upstate New York, a quick drive to Cooperstown, and ample but homey accommodations make this place a great stay.

Great Property for Young Families

We stayed at Brad’s property for a long weekend visit to Cooperstown/Baseball HOF and had a terrific time. My young family enjoyed the abundant outdoors, fishing, nightly fires and exploration. Gorgeous setting and the commute to Cooperstown was very easy. Super relaxing and peaceful Brad was a terrific host. Highly recommend!

The most peaceful VRBO ever!

Sunrise Lodge at Mt. Waiontha is a wonderful place to stay if you want to escape city life. The only sounds we could hear from the house were the sounds of nature. It was the most relaxing few days we've had in ages. Brad was a lovely host and stopped by to help us with the AC at one point. For anyone who wants to get away from a busy life, I highly recommend a stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Brad Smith

Host profile image
We are life-long residents of Richfield who grew up just down the road from the lodge. We help run our family owned beef and hay farm and enjoy sharing life on the farm with our adult children. There's a good chance you'll see us in the area during the summer, cutting and baling hay. As you head to the lodge you'll also see our goats and beef cows grazing in one of our pastures.

Why they chose this property

In June of 2019 our family dream of owning this property came true. 100 acres of beautiful woods, fields and ponds to expand our family farming operation. In only a few months and a ton of family work we've planted 40 acres of new hay and grain fields and completely renovated the lodge. Now it's time to share with others why we love this area so much.

What makes this property unique

Come stay at Sunrise Lodge to experience the good life. Slow down and enjoy the scenery, a sunrise and the wildlife. One at a time or all at once, it's up to you.
