Perfect for a group

We had 10 families stay across the 3 houses at Drake’s Escape, and it was perfect for our group. We loved the large outdoor pavilion so much that we bbq’d and ordered takeout much more often than eating at restaurants or cooking in the kitchens. Lots of space for yard games, and very close to All Star Village. Linda was a great host - very responsive, gave lots of info, and was on-site to welcome us at check-in.

Baseball stay

We visited Drake’s escape cottages during our Cooperstown Baseball World tournament this summer. We had team families in the 2 cottages which I suggest doing as they are very close together. The yard space and pavilion area was fantastic as many of the other Oneonta rentals have very little outdoor space. The cottage was clean and beds were comfortable. The AC units kept the cottage nice and cool day and night. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans and utensils. The only thing missing was a kettle but we got one of those from Walmart for $15 so no big deal. To note, there is a railroad with active trains very close to the property and they go by late into the night but didn’t seem to wake anyone in our group so it wasn’t a big deal for us. All in all, with 8 people sharing this space we had ample room and nothing but positive things to say about Drake’s escape!

Great location for multi families traveling together for Cooperstown.

This location has three cottages on the property. We stayed here with three other families and had a blast. Plenty of room and ooen grass area for our little ones to run around. We brought the entire team over a couple of times and BBQ’d in the clubhouse area. It was definitely the perfect place to stay and we will hopefully be staying there again in the future.

Great cabin!

This home was fantastic! So clean and cozy! Linda was very accommodating. The pavilion was great for team parties, and the laundry facilities were top notch. We would definitely stay here again, and will definitely reccommend it to future teams from our program that are coming to All Star Village.

The property was a fantastic place to spend time with other families from our team.

We loved the outdoor space, the pavilion facilities and the cottages were clean and comfortable. Not to mention the AC units kept it cool and sleeping was wonderful. If you’re in town for a baseball weekend then staying here with other member of your team is an excellent choice. Linda was great to deal with, friendly and attentive.

Cute Barn, Great Owner, a few issues

This is a cute new barn house. It was clean and the check in process was great, the owner is very nice. The pavilion is a really nice add, and although we didn't rent all three properties with other families on our team, I would recommend doing that, it would be really fun. The location is very convenient to the all star village and downtown. Renters should beware that these barns are right next to the highway, and it is loud. Bring earplugs and white noise if you are light sleeper. A train also rumbles by, and if you are in bed you will feel and hear it. The kitchen is also not stocked to cook a full meal- for example only one small knife, one small frying pan, no spatula etc. But, this is an easy fix and I am sure the owner will take care of it. She is very nice and will work with you to make your stay pleasant

Beautiful and cozy barn.

We enjoyed our stay at the barn. It was very clean and comfortable. Some of the families and teammates were able to come over and hang out at the pavilion. Thank you Linda!

Great Location! Great Place! Great Management!

Shortly after we arrived we were greeted by Linda. She was as nice as could be, and offered several helpful facts about the area. The property was great and we loved the pavilion and the proximity to All-star Village. Would hope to book again when our older son goes in a couple of years.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Drake

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.

Why they chose this property

I purchased property in 2018. The yard connects to the home I raised my children in. This location features the largest yard in Oneonta. Construction of two cottages is complete and ready for your comfortable, cozy stay. These two cottages plus the house, listed under Drake's Escape, can sleep 22 people total. We have the pavilion for your use complete with laundry and bathroom.

What makes this property unique

Once you wind your way down the streets to these barns, one forgets that you are in the city of Oneonta. My children learned to ride bikes on the dead end street next door. It was a place that they could run and play outside and I didn't have to worry about them. These barn cottages, combined with the other home, have the largest yard in Oneonta for your family to enjoy.
Oneonta and surroundings offers a lot of entertainment. Some examples are: Oneonta Outlaws (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!!!!!!!!!
