Why the Owner Chose Cooperstown
We remodeled and enlarged the cottage by the lake at the Lake House because it had the best location on the property- right by the lake. It is relaxing, comfortable and cozy. We were able to create a lakeside getaway for ourselves from our hectic life at the Lake House. After a busy day in the restaurant, we come down the driveway to the cottage- which can't be seen from the Lake House- to a home that is quiet, peaceful and unique. It is a hidden gem on our property and a place where anyone would love to spend time.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We enjoy living at the Cottage because when you are here you feel like you are a hundred miles away from civilization with all of the comforts of home at your fingertips. There is WiFi so we can stay connected with family and friends, the water is just outside our door, the sunsets are breathtaking and we can hop in our car and be downtown for an ice cream cone in two minutes or to the supermarket in three minutes. It is conveniently located and yet astonishingly private and peaceful. As I write this, I am sitting at my dining room table watching the waves hit the shore, the mist is lifting on the hills across the lake and my dogs are lying on the floor beside me. It is a piece of paradise.
Owner's Map of Cooperstown
People are always interested about how our family came to own the Lake House. In 1995, the previous owners moved on and left the Lake House behind. It was for sale for two years. My husband and I had gone on our first date at the Lake House and it was always a special place for us and our children. We spent many Friday evenings there having dinner with the kids. We put in a bid on the Lake House in 1996, it was rejected. A year later, it still was empty and had been condemned by the codes. It was quickly deteriorating with leaky roofs, old windows and becoming overgrown.
We decided to try again and put another bid on the property for considerably less than the year before. We were shocked when it was accepted. The building needed to be saved. It is a local landmark and we set out to remodel and restore the building. The cottage was on the property near the shore. It started out as a station for the trolley that passed in front of the Lake House in the 1800's and early 1900's. It had been moved next to the lake by a previous owner. In 2005, we applied and were granted the necessary permits to remodel and enlarge it. It is a little treasure right beside the lake.
Our children have since grown, gone on to college and live in other areas of the country but enjoy coming home now with their children to the cottage where we live in the off season months of the year. It is the perfect spot to enjoy boating, water sports, fish or just watch the birds on the lake. Canadarago Lake has several pairs of nesting eagles, Canadian geese raise their young right outside our windows, there are loons, wood ducks and gulls swimming by. It is the most relaxing place I know. I have since retired from teaching Spanish in a local high school, my husband taught science for many years and then owned a lumber store which he has sold and we dedicate ourselves to running the Lake House and enjoying the lakeside living.
