Great Spot for All Star Village

The house was great for the 4 of us during the All Star Village tournament, and had room for the 5th once he was done playing. The outdoor space was good for whiffleball and football for the kids. Linda was great, very responsive.

Beautiful yard and pavilion for our baseball team gatherings!

Our host Linda was amazing! She gave us great recommendations for local food spots and points of interest. She was always super quick to respond and the house was spotless. The house was very comfortable and had a huge kitchen. We loved the super large backyard which had a tire swing and basketball hoop too. Would definitely recommend this spot!

Fantastic property, fantastic host

The house is exactly as described, the large kitchen made meal prep a breeze and three comfortable bedrooms were the perfect resting place after long days a CASV. The property and pavilion is perfect for hosting team gatherings and some other families from the team rented the other two cabins so we used the backyard quite a bit for bbq's and hanging out. Linda and family were very welcoming and responsive. This property was perfect for our stay and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Drake's Escape was a nice stay

We enjoyed our time at Drake's Escape. I stayed with my children and grandparents for my son's tournament week at All Star Village. The property was as pictured and very clean. Linda was easy to work with. We were able to drive to the fields in about 10-12 minutes. We loved watching the storms from the porches.

Home away from home

This rental property was the perfect home base for us during our time at CASV. It was about 12-13 minutes away from the fields, centrally located to grocery & dining and a comfortable and CLEAN home. The owner is a wonderful communicator and is very welcoming. We hosted a team gathering after our elimination game and it was so convenient to use the BBQ’s, covered patio, basketball net & huge yard for wiffle ball. Our host also had chairs, coolers & wagons for additional rental to make those long game days more comfortable. There isn’t must down time during baseball week, but it was so lovely to come back to a cozy home and full kitchen to prepare home cooked meals off the field. Thank you so much, Drakes Escape!

Cozy, clean, spacious home. Close to downtown Oneonta. Friendly accommodating owners

We enjoyed our stay at Drake's escape. The house was warm and clean, beds were comfortable, roomy kitchen/dining area for cooking, hanging out, playing cards. It was the perfect space for our family get together. Only problem was the driveway and sidewalk to the steps was very icy and treacherous. We could also have used a few more wash clothes in the bathrooms. Otherwise everything was great.

Clean and comfortable home

Linda was kind enough to rent us her home when we needed someplace closer to stay for SUNY's graduation weekend. This is an older home, which I love, but was modernized and well appointed with all the comforts of home, including fast internet, and a newer bathroom with shower on the first floor. The home was very clean, and quite roomy. While located in a quiet area of town, it is minutes away from the colleges, Main Street and shopping areas. It was a pleasure renting from Linda, and I would not hesitate to do so again should our travels take us back to Oneonta in the future.

Last minute saviors!

Our family booked this property literally at the last minute when our original VRBO booking was not in serviceable condition. I messaged Linda our situation and within 15 minutes she answered back that she was happy to accommodate us. Within one hour of me messaging her we were moved into the property. I can't believe how easy they made it for us. The property was clean, fresh, and in the right location, only 10 minutes away from All Star Village. There is plenty of space for a team gathering on the property and Linda actually encouraged us to bring them over! Five stars for everything except communication and check-in. For those, if I could 100 stars I would. Our trip would have been spent sleeping on the floor of a teammates VRBO if it wasn't for Linda and this property! Thank you so much!!!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Drake

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Oneonta. I have been a local person all my life. I went to school in Cooperstown and I went to college in Oneonta. I am a bank of information for directions and fun things to do around here. We love to travel and I have some of my photographs in the house. I hope you enjoy them.

Why they chose this property

I raised my three children in this home. We have wonderful memories that were made here. I've always welcomed everyone in my house. I hope to welcome you. I have made the home cozy and comfortable for you. Oneonta is a great place to live. I have traveled all over the world, yet, we chose to live here.

What makes this property unique

Once you wind your way down the streets to the house, one forgets that you are in the city of Oneonta. My children learned to ride bikes on the dead end street. It was a place that they could run and play outside and I didn't have to worry about them. This house was where all their friends were welcome and family happened here! My grown children are excited that I have started this project and I am opening up our home so others can enjoy it.
Oneonta and surroundings offers a lot of entertainment. Some examples are: Oneonta Tigers (minor league baseball team) games in the park down the road, two beautiful parks, Orpheus Theatre, Franklin Play Company, Glimmerglass Opera, many small lakes to visit, Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame (of course), The Farmer's Museum, The Fennimore House, and much more!!!!!!!!!
