On the first floor there are 2 bedrooms off the living/dining - 1 with a king bed and one with a double bed (size up from twin). Please note that the double room downstairs technically accommodates two individuals, but for comfort is likely more suitable for a single adult.

For family fun and entertainment, there is a game room in a separate 840 square foot building, complete with lounge area, TV/DVD player, pool table, ping pong, Foosball, air hockey and outdoor basketball hoop. You will also find board games, puzzles and a variety of lawn games here as well. The Gameroom does not have heat or AC.

We had a wonderful time at the schoolhouse as a family gathering. The space is open which makes it easy to be together, as well as a well-equipped kitchen to make meals. We all (especially the kids) enjoyed the bonus game room.
We were a party party of eight with three children. We loved staying at the schoolhouse. Spacious and room for all of us. (everyone loved the schoolhouse even the kids). The kitchen was really well stocked. We would highly recommend Amy's Schoolhouse to everyone. From the time me we walked in to the time we left we felt so comfortable being there! It was too cold to go out to the garage for the gaming adventure. But it still was such a good stay. Close to Cooperstown and all activities. Thanks for the great stay. Tom and Michele

We are so happy you chose our space for your family Birthday gathering and even more elated that you had such a great stay! We do try to keep the home well stocked (especially for homemade meals) and it's nice to hear it held up to the standards of a chef 😊 Thank you all for being such wonderful guests. We would love to host you again anytime!
Great house. Beautiful high ceilings on the first floor. Clean and well equipped kitchen and a long dining table in the main room. Met our needs for a family gathering for Thanksgiving. Hosts were great.
Our stay was amazing. The property was as shown ! Very comfortable accommodations. The host was excellent to work with. Great communication throughout the booking and stay.
The house exceeded our expectations. The house was clean and comfortable with all the amenities we needed.The owner was very welcoming and quick to answer any questions.The location was ideal and the property is perfect for any group.
The house was charming, comfortable and the right size for our family group of 6 adults and 6 children. Location was perfect, close to Hall of Fame, Fenimore Farm, Rail Explorer, and many restaurants, grocery store and breweries. The game room and big front lawn were wonderful for 6 very active boys!
Home was unique as it was an 1860 school house converted into a single family home.Well done, with some original pieces still in place like blackboards and operating drinking fountain.Garage is used as a game room with plenty to do.
Host communication was great. Check-in was easy (and in fact, we were allowed early access). The property itself was great for our family reunion. It's a great location for exploring Cooperstown and for all things Baseball Hall of Fame. The kitchen has everything you need to cook for a dozen people. The game room was also a nice added benefit. We would 100% recommend this property and intend to use it again in the future

Thank you so much for the kind review Bruce! We are so glad you chose our property for a family reunion and would love to have you back anytime!
We are so happy we picked this house. We had an amazing time. The kids had an amazing time and loved the game room. I think it was really cool to be allowed to write our names on the wall in the game room. It was really close to Cooperstown dreams park. The house is beautiful and a big family area to hang out all together. Definitely recommend this house. Thank you again

We loved having you and your family Alejandra! We very much appreciate what wonderful guests you were and would welcome you back anytime!
This location was absolutely perfect for our group- lots of parking, great outdoor space, plenty of bathrooms, a very well equipped kitchen, and separate bedrooms for when people needed quite time alone. We hope to stay here again next year!
The historic schoolhouse was an awesome house for kids and gatherings for a baseball team. The location could not have been better. It sits right between downtown Cooperstown and the Dream Park fields. The kids loved the game room and spent every waking moment not at the fields in there. It was perfect! The online photos do not do it justice!

Everything was just perfect. The hosts were wonderful. The personal touches were so thoughtful and the house was great for our group. Nice and simply decorated rooms and bathrooms. The kitchen had key what we needed and more. Beds were very comfortable. We also enjoyed the game room in the garage! Thank you!

Charming and Spacious Rental Near Cooperstown – Perfect for Families!
We had a wonderful stay at this unique old schoolhouse just minutes from Cooperstown Dreams Park. From the moment we arrived, we were charmed by the home’s character and history. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out, which is a huge bonus when traveling with kids. The game room was a total hit — air hockey, foosball, and ping pong kept the kids entertained for hours while the adults relaxed. It’s in a quiet, scenic area but still just a short, easy drive to Dreams Park, downtown Cooperstown, and nearby restaurants.If you’re looking for a rental with charm, space, and great access to Cooperstown attractions, this is it. We’d absolutely stay here again!

We loved having you and your group Heidi and hope you come back to stay in the future! It makes us so happy to know our home and our town created such great memories for you!
This place was a great location to get everywhere we needed quickly all week. The best part was that we had the privacy of a quiet and beautiful home with plenty of space.
Everything was perfect. Even when we locked ourselves out, the owners responded immediately to help! From location to cleanliness and decor…five stars!

Thank you for the kind review Lauren! We have a new YALE system to prevent any future lock outs. We have also done some upgrades to the rest of the home which we can't wait for you to see on your next visit!
Spent a long weekend with our adult children in this beautiful renovated schoolhouse. Easy access to cider mill, Ommegang, Red Shed and Baseball Hall of Fame. Plenty of room for everyone and great facility for family game nights.
This house is perfectly located for a trip to the Cooperstown area. Additionally, there are a lot of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate a good sized group. The common areas, including the game room lend themselves really well to hanging out with friends. I highly recommend this house.
Last note, the owner was very responsive to any questions we had, both leading up to and during our stay.

It was a pleasure hosting you and your friends Michael! We're so glad you were able to enjoy yourselves and we would love to welcome you back anytime. Thank you for being such great guests!
This house was exactly as described. It was half way between both cooperstown hall of fame and cooperstown dream park. I highly recommend stayin here if you have a group going to either place. I’ll definitely be looking to book here in 2 years when my younger son plays at the dreams park.
This place is all that they said it would be. We only stayed 2 nights but wish we rented for a week. Everyone loved it. Kids and adults. Highly recommend.
