We always leave the door unlocked and the keys on the end table. Of course you can keep it locked when you are occupying the home. This is a safe neighborhood and this is how we do it. The kitchen to the house is a great size. Perfect for hanging out with your family or friends especially on a rainy day.

Linda’s property was perfect for our week at All Star Village and only a 10-15 minute drive from the baseball field. Although we didn’t spend much time at the house during the day it was a great space. The yard would be perfect to hang out in and play some wiffle ball. The house was stocked with everything we needed. I would highly recommend drakes escape!

Fantastic property, fantastic host

The house is exactly as described, the large kitchen made meal prep a breeze and three comfortable bedrooms were the perfect resting place after long days a CASV. The property and pavilion is perfect for hosting team gatherings and some other families from the team rented the other two cabins so we used the backyard quite a bit for bbq's and hanging out. Linda and family were very welcoming and responsive. This property was perfect for our stay and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Drake

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Oneonta. I have been a local person all my life. I went to school in Cooperstown and I went to college in Oneonta. I am a bank of information for directions and fun things to do around here. We love to travel and I have some of my photographs in the house. I hope you enjoy them.

Why they chose this property

I raised my three children in this home. We have wonderful memories that were made here. I've always welcomed everyone in my house. I hope to welcome you. I have made the home cozy and comfortable for you. Oneonta is a great place to live. I have traveled all over the world, yet, we chose to live here.

What makes this property unique

Once you wind your way down the streets to the house, one forgets that you are in the city of Oneonta. My children learned to ride bikes on the dead end street. It was a place that they could run and play outside and I didn't have to worry about them. This house was where all their friends were welcome and family happened here! My grown children are excited that I have started this project and I am opening up our home so others can enjoy it.
Oneonta and surroundings offers a lot of entertainment. Some examples are: Oneonta Tigers (minor league baseball team) games in the park down the road, two beautiful parks, Orpheus Theatre, Franklin Play Company, Glimmerglass Opera, many small lakes to visit, Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame (of course), The Farmer's Museum, The Fennimore House, and much more!!!!!!!!!
