Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks and take out the rubbish
Turn off the lights, lock the doors and return the keys

About the host
Hosted by GLENN KELLER
I live fulltime in northern New Jersey. This property has been in my family since 1957, when my grandmother purchased it. I have been spending time up in Cooperstown all my life. Since taking over the property in 1997, I rebuilt the farmhouse (which was originally built over 150 years ago), which was a two-story summer home for the mayor of Cooperstown during the 1920's. The house has survived a couple fires since then and I am happy to say that through my efforts I have given the place a new beginning.
Being a host has become a passion for me. I have been renting out the place during the summers since 2004. Renting gives me the opportunity to keep the place up-to-date and provides vacationers the opportunity to share in a piece of American history and to take pleasure in the tranquility of the place.
I love spending time up at my place during the offseason, whether to cut firewood for the winter, to go hunting, pick wild blackberries, or to pick apples for cider in September. There is nothing as good as fresh squeezed apple cider, and the hard cider that I make isn't bad either!

Why they chose this property
Middlefield is a quaint little town just outside of Cooperstown. Having family nearby on the next farm provides another reason for me to stay connected to my family's roots. Zubowich Road was named for my late uncle, Stanley Zubowich.
What makes this property unique
My place is unique in that it has over 10,000 feet of maintained logging trails, and a beaver dam which is perfect for those who like to take nature walks.
Through my forestry management efforts as the steward of the forest, I have been taking steps to improve the biodiversity of the forest by planting white oak and black walnut seedlings. In a couple years, my plan is to graft an edible, fast-growing Chandler walnut onto the black walnut seed stocks, which will eventually yield over 200 pounds of walnuts per tree.
I began to actively manage the forest through Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) activities beginning in 2004. During 2026 the entire property will get logged, which encourages new growth by opening up the forest canopy. One day, when I pass the property on to my heirs, my goal is to leave a forest which is in better condition than when I first took it over.
