Met all of our needs. A full kitchen, nice lake view, bonus was the kayaks on site along with life jackets. A very tranquil stay beginning with the fountain and koi pond as you enter the property. Jeff and Lisetta were great with communicating and checking in if we needed anything. Also, very kind of them to let us know there was no one coming in for a few days and to take our time on checkout. Took advantage of that and the good weather with kayaking on Goodyear Lake!

It was great

The property was as expected and a good spot for those going to Cooperstown Dream Park. The bathroom was very tiny but clean. Despite low ceilings, the whole space was not at all cramped and was quite cozy. The absolute best part was the deck and views of the lake right outside.

Quiet retreat

We enjoyed our stay while our son was at the Cooperstown baseball tournament. If you are a quiet family who enjoys the downtime then this is the place to stay. It reminded us of staying at your grandparents house! We fished on the dock (quick purchase of rods from Walmart), kayaked,, a enjoyed the peace and quiet.

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful lake house while in Cooperstown for our son’s baseball tournament. The home offered both beauty and tranquility, which was exactly what we needed during such a busy week. The only thing that could have made our stay even better would’ve been a washing machine on-site, but thankfully there was a laundromat not too far away that worked out just fine. The homeowners were incredibly accommodating and kind—we truly appreciated their hospitality!

Quiet, beautiful cottage overlooking picturesque lake.

What a beautiful location! The cottage is perfect for two or three, and it’s larger than you might imagine from the pictures. It is extremely well equipped and the owners are perfect hosts. Can’t wait to go back.

Charming Getaway!

We had such a wonderful time at the property with our golden retriever (who LOVES the water). The property is connected to their home, but was very private and we didn't feel intrusive whatsoever. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to have a lux stay by the lake :)

Amazing stay!

We were there for our son’s Cooperstown baseball so we were busy but short time we were able to spend the time there it was just perfect for two of us. We were able to get out from the business and totally relaxed in the nature. Host were so welcomed and nice! We would recommend this cottage to anyone regardless with baseball or no baseball.

Wonderful Lakefront property

We stayed at this wonderful spot right on Goodyear Lake for a week while our son was at All Star Village. It was the perfect location for respite from watching baseball games and exploring Cooperstown. Their lakefront decks/dock are gorgeous, and we enjoyed kayaking and fishing. The house was the perfect size for two adults and a child. The hosts are kind and extremely responsive. We highly recommend it!
