Rose Cottage a Botanical Garden Retreat in the city but surrounded by nature

Hello baseball families! Please check your 6 day camp schedule and contact me before booking! Arrival and departure days will be every 6 days according to the schedule.

Children ages 6 and older are welcome during the summer season.

A secluded, dreamy, woodland setting with walking trails and a lovely botanical garden located in Oneonta just minutes from All Star Village, Hartwick and SUCO, Rose Cottage Retreat is a magical house with skylights, a gourmet kitchen, and beautiful furnishings. It has one bedroom with a queen sized bed and a sun-room with a pull-out bed, ideal for 2 but can accommodate more. Located 5 minutes from the Cooperstown All Star Village in Oneonta, it is the perfect place for a couple or small family to enjoy peace and nature in between exciting baseball games.

It is not suitable for very young children and ages 0-5 are not allowed.

Close to Cooperstown and Omegang Brewery, about 30 minutes.

Rose Cottage offers special delights in the spring and summer for those who love botanical and perennial gardens.

It is the perfect romantic get away, beautiful in any season!

The interior has wooden beams, skylights, and wood and tile floors throughout. This is a non-smoking facility. The living and dining area are furnished with beautiful and comfortable furniture, stained glass lamps and artwork. There is a fully equipped gourmet kitchen with marble counter-tops and a lovely view of the garden. The bedroom has an oak bedroom set with plenty of closet and drawer space. The back sun room looks out over the lovely garden and can be used as an extra bedroom with folding couch bed.

The highlight of this lovely accommodation is the botanical garden with perennial beds, rose gardens and a forest garden. For those with an interest in botanical gardens, there are many species of garden and medicinal plants. There is a lovely screen porch overlooking the garden and walking trails on the property as well as hiking trails nearby.

Also, I use a rental agreement for this property which can be viewed when making a booking or I can send it to you prior to booking. The agreement is to be completed at or before the time of arrival.

My husband and I stayed in this lovely cottage for a week while our son was at Cooperstown All-Star Village. This was the perfect location! The area is beautiful, the cottage is cozy, the restaurants are excellent! The kitchen is also stocked with everything you need to cook at the cottage. Enjoy having a cup of coffee and reading on the back porch. You may even spot a deer, hummingbird, or sweet little chipmunk!

Lovely little cabin. Coleen was a superb host. Clean, well stocked, and back to nature. Best of all, it is only a 5 minute drive to the Cooperstown All Star Village. After watching our grandson play baseball all day, it was so nice to be back at the cabin in no time. Thanks to Coleen for an awesome week!

Oneonta stay

The property was quiet and clean, providing a nice experience for our stay. Everything we needed was there and there were no issues during our stay. If there is one area for improvement it would be having a better television/cable ready experience. But this was accurately portrayed by the renter in the listing

What can I say? This property was as advertised. If CLEANLINESS is what you are looking for. This property is better a five star hotel ;) There are NO dust to be found in this cottage. The host was amazing. She went way beyond her accommodations duties. I would stay here again if my son can still play baseball at Cooperstown but unfortunately he will 13 next year. 5 minutes from Cooperstown was amazing.

Gem in a wonderful setting

This home is beautiful! The host, Coleen is kind and attentive. My family stayed there during our trip to Cooperstown for the baseball tournament. The home is between 4 and 5 minutes from the baseball fields in the All Star Village. The home is located at the end of a road which is covered by a canopy of trees. It is quiet and very peaceful. I highly recommend this home and would definitely stay there again.

Great cabin but a little warm

The cabin is beautiful and clean and stocked with everything you would need. The host was excellent and accommodating. My only complaint is there is only air conditioning in the 2 bedrooms, not the main part of the house, so the living room get pretty hot even with the windows open in the evenings and the overhead fan on. Also, the AC in the main bedroom doesn’t work great, so we were just a bit hot and uncomfortable during the evening and overnight. If the AC situation were fixed this would for sure be a 5 star cabin. Great distance to the all star village, where our son was playing.

Hi Rose, I wish you had told me about the broken air conditioner sooner so I could have replaced it during your stay. The current renters let us know and I returned it and got a fully functioning air conditioner which keeps the rest of the house cool as well as the bedroom.

Great baseball getaway

This place was incredible. We could not have found a better place at a better price. We were in Oneonta, NY for All Star Village baseball. This is one mile or less from the village. Is secluded and quiet. Feels like a cabin in nature. We saw two baby fawns sleeping when we pulled up. The place is extremely clean. Owner is very responsive. The AC in one room broke and she did not know it was broken. She fixed it that day. Colleen is a great host. This is much better than staying in the ASV housing. We saved money and had a full house. Great place, will stay again next time. Thank you so much Colleen.

The house and host Colleen were great. It was a very clean house and it had all the amenities that you have in your own home. My wife and I used it for our son's week in the All Star Village. It was very convenient to get back and forth from the village. I recommend it over staying in the viillage or at a hotel.

About the host

Hosted by Colleen Blacklock

Host profile image
I love to travel and to stay home and garden. My mother taught me a lot about plants and gardening. She still knows every botanical name and so much about each plant and how they grow. She also taught me the value of home and creating a beautiful sanctuary to live in and share with others. She was a health practitioner and now I am too and I believe that our environment can be something that nurtures and inspires us. We want to share our love of beauty and nature with you.

Why they chose this property

This is my mother's beautiful home. She purchased it so she could live part of the year near me and my children as they were growing up. Her passion has always been gardening and she has put in an extensive botanical garden with many special specimens of both horticultural and medicinal value. Now we have decided to share this house and the garden with others so they may enjoy the property as much as we have.

What makes this property unique

We hope that you will enjoy this peaceful and beautiful environment and the natural beauty of the gardens and the comfort of the lovely house will help you feel rejuvenated and happy.
