About the host
Hosted by Vanessa
Hi!
I’m from Long Island, NY, and now happily call Central New York home. I work at NY Goat Yoga, where I get to combine the calming benefits of yoga with the joy and laughter of animal therapy—yes, baby goats included! I love being a host because I enjoy creating a space where others can relax, reconnect, and feel at home. Sharing that experience with guests is truly rewarding.

Why they chose this property
I chose Hartwick because, quite simply, it's the heart of Otsego County. Here, you get the peace and beauty of country living, with quick and easy access to the vibrant small-town charm of Cooperstown and the college-town energy of Oneonta. It’s the best of both worlds—tranquil and convenient.
What makes this property unique
What makes my property unique?
It’s simple. And sometimes, that’s exactly what we need—a quiet place to recharge, reflect, and just enjoy life’s little pleasures.
