Bill I just wanted to reach out and express how much enjoyment we had staying at your lovely property. Not only did the house meet the descriptions from the website, it far exceeded them in person. The Hall was a great visit but your home became the destination. The attention to detail throughout kept us amazed at every turn. Thank you again for the great accommodations, Myself and my family look forward to one day returning.

We were a family of four adults and three children on a trip to Cooperstown to celebrate Easter together. To say that this house was remarkable is an understatement. It was something that you could never even imagine. We had a wonderful stay in this house and have memories to last a lifetime. talk about the best Easter egg hunt ever! The house was spotless and had everything to make it a a home away from home. Although we had the best time in chilly weather, I am sure this place is magnificent in the summer. We can't wait to return!

Owner response: More and more, guests are discovering a getaway to Cooperstown can be just as fulfilling in the non-summer seasons. The restaurants and museums are less crowded and a stroll down Main Street can be at your own pace! Explore all that Cooperstown and the surrounding area has to offer and then plan a return trip to spend your summer vacation on our spectacular lake!

3rd Time and Wanting More...

Guest Derrick and Amy

Review Submitted 01/28/13

Another truly amazing romantic getaway at our favorite "camp" in the Northeast. This is our 3rd year in a row at Arrowhead Pointe in January (yes, Winter in Cooperstown) but our first stay in “Oneida” and it was absolutely magnificent. Waking up right next to the lake brought the experience to an entirely new level. Plus, with a full moon Saturday night and temperatures falling below zero (-6!), we slowly fed the beautiful fireplace, absorbing every ounce of warmth it provided while simultaneously gazing out the great room window at the lake and full moon above…so peaceful, serene and rejuvenating. Nowhere, we mean nowhere reconnects us to what matters in life like Arrowhead Pointe…to nature, to each other and to a deep gratitude for all of God's gifts. This is why we return year after year... We are eternally grateful for your generosity in sharing your masterpiece. See you next year...

Owner response: More and more couples are escaping the day-to-day "noise" of regular life and taking refuge at one of our lakeside retreats. A couple days of quiet relaxation and fresh air does wonders for the soul... and the mind! Come to Cooperstown, visit the quaint shops and restaurants; you may just become a "regular"!

THIS WAS A DREAM COME TRUE! An amazing experience, this log house is unforgettable. The pictures do not do it justice. This was an ideal getaway for me and even though it snowed 8 inches, we felt like we were in a winter wonderland. The scenery was picturesque and we could not take enough photos. Bill was in contact with me before, during and after my arrival. He was very reliable and always willing to answer any and all questions I had. The fireplace was perfect and we had a great time cooking in the beautiful kitchen. I cannot wait to go back here again. I am already looking at the calendar to see when I can go back. I feel fortunate I had the chance to see and stay in such a gorgeous home.

THIS IS THE PLACE YOU HAVE ALWAYS DREAMED ABOUT. We felt as though we were living in a giant tree house with all the modern conveniences possible. What a masterpiece! We loved every minute of our vacation at this awesome home and can't wait for the time when we can return again. There were a few days when we never left, but just relaxed, read a book, or tested our culinary skills with the Wolf oven. Although we went at the end of November and the weather was changing; it sure didn't hamper our trip. We had some sun, some rain, and even some snow; but that didn't make a bit of difference. We couldn't use the pool or the kayak on lake, but we still could listen to great music or to the geese squawking out on the lake as they planned their southern route. We loved the morning sun rises, hiking through Glimmerglass State Park, having a fire in the fireplaces inside and out, cooking outside on the grill, taking our time going through the Baseball Hall of Fame without the crowds, going to the Farmer's Museum, sipping a few glasses of wine, playing board games, visiting Cooperstown, or just doing nothing, but RELAXING. It is a wonderful home with plenty of nooks and crannies to get lost in. There wasn't anything that we lacked. NOTHING! We keep telling all of our friends about it and back up our words with plenty of picutres. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of staying in your great home. We all had such a wonderful vacation!

OMG! What a beautiful place, I don"t think my family and I have ever stayed at such a beautiful, warm and inviting home. This home has everything you need for a family getaway. The grounds are incredable and the scenery was breathtaking! Fall foliage never looked so good! If your a baseball fan, then you will love Cooperstown and The Baseball Hall of Fame just a few minutes away, if not, there is plenty of things for the whole family to do!. What a great place to make lots of family memories, can't wait to go back! Thanks for creating such a wonderful place!

Words cannot describe the feeling when first stepping foot into Oneida Lodge North. It is a remarkable feeling I'll never forget for as long as I live. My friends and family were so blown away upon entering, that everyone sat in silence for nearly 15 minutes, I kid you not! The craftsmanship of the cabin; the sweeping views; that 245 year old Canadian white pine with spiral staircase! I'm already looking for an excuse to return next year. If you love natural beauty, look no further. I will never even consider the thought of staying anywhere else while in the Cooperstown area. Thank you so very much, Bill & Liz!!! Cheers...

We had an amazing weekend at ArrowHead Pointe in Cooperstown! The kids enjoyed swimming in the heated pool in October and playing Fooseball in the Boathouse. The condo is beautiful with every amenity you could want - lots of comfy places to read and relax by the fire. The views of the lake and fall foliage were breathtaking - we will definately be back!

A group of friends and I were looking for a relaxing weekend getaway outside of Boston and New York. What we found was a relaxing and beautiful retreat with all of the comforts and amenities of a 5 star resort. We spent most of the weekend lounging by the fire, kayaking, and taking trips into the post-card perfect town of cooperstown. Not to mention all the cooking we did in what could be an award-winning kitchen. Reserving the house was very easy and the owners were a joy to work with. We didn't have any problems or issues upon arrival and no one bothered or disturbed us the entire time. Definitely looking to come back here in the future. We made many great memories and the trip became an instant memory for me and my friends. Thank you so much Bill for helping organize such a beautiful weekend. Mark

We had a wonderful time at this amazing location. The house is beautifully done, with special attention to detail. It was so comfortable, it felt like "home". The most beautiful views from the balcony facing the lake allow for a very relaxing stay. The boathouse has everything you need and is a great place to relax. The owner, Bill, was incredibly responsive to all of our requests which made our stay that much more comfortable. We expect to made this "our" place whenever we are in the area. Thank you Bill for making our stay a memorable one:)

"Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your house last week for our visit to Cooperstown. The house was beautiful and we all really enjoyed our stay there. The boys were a bit jealous when they saw our accomodations versus theirs at the baracks at Dreams Park. We will recommend your house to others that will be traveling to the area next year."

Week at Cooperstown

Guest Alana
Date of stay 08/03/12
Review Submitted 08/13/12

We rented the home with 3 other families to stay while our boys were taking part in the Cooperstown Dreams Park Tournament. It was a wonderful week! The house could not have been more perfect for our stay.....the pool being right there was perfect for our down time between games. Although it is only 12 miles from the park, driving on windy roads and through downtown, it did take us 30 minutes each way. (might be valuable info for anyone needing or wanting a shorter ride). The lake was beautiful although swimming right from shore was not possible with all the lake grass and lily pads. Renting a pontoon bpat was the perfect idea and providing us with that website wa much appreciated. The home itself is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and provided ample space for all 4 families with all the amenities we could ask for. The week was truly memorable and we enjoyed our stay very, very much! Thank you!

My families first experience vacationing on a lake and won't be our last! Relaxing, peaceful, beautiful place to get away from it all. The home was amazing inside and out. We all enjoyed the amenities this property had to offer. It was nice to be so close to Cooperstown for our boys games, but far enough away to relax and take in the beautiful lake. I highly recommend this place to stay and we will definitely be back in two years when our younger son plays in Cooperstown.

Picturesque Wedding Venue

Review Submitted 06/09/12

We held our small wedding at Arrowhead Pointe and our experience was off the charts amazing! Our wedding weekend was exactly how we envisioned it and we've received so much positive feedback from our friends' and family about hosting them on the property. Everyone is already asking us to do our 5 year anniversary there as a reunion! We couldn't have asked for better weather or a more magnificent venue.

Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

Owner response: Selecting a wedding venue for an intimate ceremony requires a creative approach. The ArrowHead Pointe property provides an outstanding and picturesque setting as well as exceptional lodging. The lake side location (just minutes from Cooperstown) along with the mature landscaping, waterfalls and artistic architecture, truly enhances what will be a once-in-a-lifetime event! The pictures taken during these small weddings are just incredibly beautiful!

My friends and I spent a wonderful "girls weekend" at this beautiful house. The owners were very helpful and took care of our every need immediately. The house is in pristine condition, with beautiful views and more than enough room for a group to spread out. It was the perfect setting and Cooperstown was a lovely way to spend Saturday afternoon. This group rents often in New York State, and I would highly recommend this location.

Arrowhead Pointe - Oneida 4 Bedroom Unit

Review Submitted 03/12/12

I typically don't read consumer reviews and I have never written one, in any context - until now. Prior to writing this, I spent time trying to come up with balanced commentary weighing positives & negatives. The challenge was finding the negatives. This is a 100% first class experience. If the price is above your budget, its worth it, if its in your budget, you will not be disappointed. We are intimately familiar with Cooperstown and have our own place there - but for logistical reasons had to rent another property for a long weekend. We were fortunate to have spent it at Arrowhead Pointe - it will meet and exceed even the most discriminating tastes. As the pictures indicate, the quality of the construction is off the charts. Couple this with the unique/original features - 42 foot, 3 story, towering tree trunk that acts as the anchor for an incredible stairway, top quality kitchen, baths, bedrooms & fireplaces - the experience is a very memorable one - bring a good camera. No detail is missed - for those who love to build a fire you know it's an art, not a science. When you walk in, there is a proper fire waiting to be lit - only one match needed (really!). Not to enough DRY, properly sized kindling & wood for a roaring fire as long as you can stay awake. The construction, views of the lake and general atmosphere are so impressive you just might forget to enjoy the Cooperstown experience. Keep in mind we went in February - in the summer months with the boathouse, lake & warm summer nights, unreal. The owners are wonderful people that have long-standing connections with the area & take personal pride in making sure your experience is flawless. If you need to call them (in our case to ask for something that was already there) they are extremely responsive. Do yourself, you family and/or friends a favor & experience AHP. Whether a long weekend or a full summer week - not only will you not be disappointed, you'll have a hard time leaving.

Owner response: Holidays represent special occasions for family and friends to gather together and celebrate life! Our home provides plenty of open-entertainment areas, a very well-equipped kitchen and a massive redwood table around which all of your guests can congregate. In addition to 2 flat-screen televisions in the public spaces, every bedroom features its own flat screen and the entire home is covered via wi-fi. This is a home in which cherished memories are made during every visit...come and create your own!

The Lodges at Arrowhead Pointe served as the perfect backdrop for our families 2011 Thanksgiving Weekend celebration. We have always admired this property and we thought Thanksgiving would be a perfect opportunity to experience and enjoy the beauty of Arrowhead Pointe. We were not disappointed. From the well-appointed kitchen, to the beautiful autumn views over the lake - this year's Thanksgiving was one to remember. We hope to get back up there soon.
