Relaxing get away

Very nice relaxing, lots of room and ample bathrooms! We spent some time in beautiful Cooperstown. We tried to go to the Ommegang Brewery but they were having a private event so ended up at a smaller brewery down the street Red Shed Brewery. It was awesome, good ciders and craft beers and fun band!

Lakeside Gem

Stayed at this property with another couple while our kids were off at CASV. It worked perfectly for the time gaps that they could come back with us and swim in the lake, fish and paddle board. Kitchen was perfect to cook in and saved us the hassle of finding some place to eat. Lots of spiders and creepy crawlers around the property, but they don't bother you. Great for walking and the neighborhood was very friendly. Also there is an amazing antique store 5-7min away from the house that was incredible and an Ice Cream shop. Great experience overall

Beautiful Lake escape

Our son was playing baseball at Cooperstown All-Star Village and we needed a place to stay with our family of 7 plus grandparents. This is a beautiful, relaxing property, large enough, everyone had a comfortable bed and we were only 20 minutes drive to CASV from driveway to Parking lot. The house is older, and has some creaky floors, but it has been updated with all the amenities needed. We were happy to find laundry detergent, dryer, sheets, coffee filters, spices for cooking, etc. This place is well stocked and ready to go! The host even provides water, shoes, lifejackets, and plenty of towels for the lake. We brought our two jet skis along and had fun on the lake when our son wasn’t playing baseball. Just a couple minor things…The front door lock is very hard to work and the deadbolt doesn’t engage well to lock up, we called the maintenance guy to come help us a couple times. He was very friendly and always available. Also, the upstairs TV didn’t work for the kids to watch a movie. But these were very minor issues for us. I would definitely book here again!

Lovely, large home on the lake; perfect for baseball families

The house is about 9 miles to Cooperstown Dreams Park so commuting to the games was easy. The kitchen is modern and well equipped, the living room is comfortble and has a huge TV, the sunroom overlooking the lake was a favorite spot for the adults when not on the lakeside deck. The main floor bedroom with bath is ideal for those who want to avoid stairs..

Great location for Dreamspark

We had a wonderful time staying here. It was a quick 15 minute drive to Dreamspark. Our older kids loved swimming and fishing in the lake. We had an issue with the lock and the owner was on-site within 10 minutes. The issue was quickly resolved. Will definitely stay here again next year for our last Dreamspark visit.

Golf trip

The house is situated on a beautiful lake in a quiet, cozy, neighborhood. The outside areas - - - deck and fire pit - - - were great for relaxing at the end of our day. The house is older, so it’s a bit creaky with some slanting in the floors, but that’s to be expected. It was perfect for our needs. The 3 1/2 bathrooms were also a plus for 8 women. The beds were also comfortable. Thank you for an enjoyable stay for our golf trip.

Return Planned

We were only in the area for the weekend attending a wedding, so we were unable to take full advantage of the property. We enjoyed our stay in the house and would love to come back to the area and stay here again for an extended amount of time.

Charming lake house near many attractions

We had a lovely 3 night stay at Camp Serenity. The house was immaculate, the kitchen generously stocked with supplies and equipment - better than many places we have rented before for our family reunions. It is nicely furnished and the sun room and decks are delightful places to observe the peaceful lake. As we didn't have kids with us this time, we didn't check out the many games and puzzles available. There are 4 tv's throughout - two in bedrooms, two in public spaces. This let individual groups entertain themselves as they pleased.There are plentiful linens and bedding - however the pillows were uniformly on the thin side - bring your own if you need particular support, we always do!

Beautiful lake front location

a few observations from our extended family. The house overall is a bunch of small spaces. dining for 6 is ok..more than that is a bit crammed. odd observation but may save you if you have any sort of balance condition. the floors are REALLY uneven. We all felt like we were on a cruise or something. Definitely skip this house if anyone in your group suffers from Vertigo or anything similar. now for the good news. Beautiful views from the dock. Sunset each night was wow! Bald eagles nesting right across the lake. Glad nice binoculars were at the house to watch the eagles. Great location to get around the surrounding area for whatever you are up to. Love the lake

Perfect family getaway

This spectacular, well appointed, and clean house is easily accommodated our multi-generational family while celebrating our daughters graduation from nearby university. It had plenty of sleeping arrangements as well as ADA bedroom and bath for the grandparents. Easy drive to all Oneonta and Cooperstown has to offer while being a peaceful respite along the lake with fire pits and picnic tables. Couldn’t ask for more.
