Great trip! Beautiful cabin. Flies and lady bugs in the cabin were pretty bad. Loved the setup and views. Very peaceful.

Thank you for your stay and so glad you enjoyed the Over Water Bungalow. We apologize for any unexpected flies or lady bugs as occasionally when spring hits they do come in when previous guests leave doors or windows open. We do our best to get them all but sometimes can miss a few between stays.
Fantastic spot! It was literally 9 minutes away from the Cooperstown All Star Village and made for the perfect getaway while our son was at the Village playing ball! Clean, lovely, quite, cozy and the owner is super responsive. We give it a 10/10! Couldn't love this spot more!
My family spent Easter weekend at the bungalow. The location was beautiful, and the cabin was very clean and spacious for our family of 4! The weather was not great, but it didn't matter, we just enjoyed the scenery and my boys spent hours just fishing of the dock!
This was the PERFECT place for our family during our CASV experience. So nice to get away to the quiet, serene, lake front house after a long day of baseball. Kitchen could use some more amenities, but other than that it was fantastic!
We loved our stay while our son played at Cooperstown Dreams Park. While not as close as All Star Village, Dreams Park was only about a 30 minute drive. His twin brother enjoyed fishing off the deck and caught several varieties. The home was clean, comfortable, and quiet. We would definitely stay there again.
Lovely cabin for a winter getaway with our dogs. Cabin had all amenities necessary, was super cosy and in a great secluded location. Would definitely love to return in the summer to enjoy the lake.
We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful cabin. We arrived just before a snowstorm, which made the area even more beautiful! Would definitely recommend this property!!
Lots of fun enveloped in the beautiful scenery. Completely your own Cabin for as long as you stay. Nature hikes, catch some fish, kayak across the lake or just sip coffee as the sun rises...a magical place!
We stayed at the Cedars cabin while our son had a baseball tournament in Cooperstown. The property was beautiful and had everything we could have needed. The getaway was remote while still having plenty to do. Would highly recommend!
Beautiful house, unique and fun setting. No need to leave, fishing, kayaking by day and fire pit in evening. Beautiful views. Even saw a bald eagle. Highly recommend.
We spent our 14th wedding anniversary at the bungalow on the water- it was all magnificent. Perfect little place to build a fire, grill your meals, and gaze at the stars! We will be back!!
This cabin was everything we were looking for - a peaceful getaway of fishing, kayaking, and relaxing. Our dog loved exploring the trails all around the property and our children were fully entertained with all the salamanders, fish, frogs and even a turtle that they found in the lake. We really enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to booking again in the future!
From the moment we pulled up to this amazing and unique rental we knew this was a hidden gem in the catskills. We were looking for a low key getaway with our friends and this rental was the perfect spot. The view was amazing and the house beautiful. Glamping at its finast!
The bungalow is exactly as described - extremely clean, well designed, very peaceful and with everything you need for an unforgettable stay. Communication with host was always immediate and helpful. Perfect spot for star watching!
Brand new log cabin over the water! Our family of 6 stayed here and loved the view. We took out the boat and cooked dinner in the well stocked kitchen. We had an unexpected blizzard and the host was very helpful getting the driveway plowed. Definitely recommend for a getaway!
We were so happy to return to this beautiful cabin. Super clean, well appointed, with a spectacular fireplace. Waking up to the view of the lake, fishing right off the deck, the kayaks.. even our dog loves going in the rowboat. He is in heaven here! Looking forward to year 3!
This cabin had it all for our Christmas vacation disconnect. You are at peace in the woods on a beautiful lake. If you love seclusion, security and peace, this is your place. Only a few minutes from town but feels like a world away. So blessed to have found this cabin.
