Wonderful rental for a baseball week!

Had such an amazing time! House was so clean, comfortable and well stocked with anything you could need. My son played at ASV and we were very close by. Beautiful scenery and so tranquil! My son came back after the last game and was able to enjoy a home cooked meal and fish while I cooked. Believe me you will love you experience there.

July 4th weekend getaway

Beautiful setting, very quiet. Seems quite new. In great condition. Convenient to many stores but you still feel like you are tucked away in the woods. The kitchen is adequate but not a lot of counter top space if you plan to cook. Perhaps could add a rolling island to accommodate this. All amenities were very good. Well appointed.

Hidden Paradise

We were in town for Cooperstown tournament for my older son. We were looking for a place we could relax in between games and events with our two year old. This place was amazing!!! Private pond for my older son to fish and roaming cows that my 2 year old fed every morning. Owners were extremely responsive and they thought of every detail to ensure you had a great experience. We plan to return again very soon. Thanks !!

Beautiful gem in Cooperstown area

Finding this gem truly made our week in Cooperstown a special one! Nestled in the hill of a beautiful farm in Oneonta, NY this immaculate home is the perfect place for families looking for an alternative to hotels in the area. Nearly new everything, including lovely furnishings and appliances and not to mention the beautiful views! Wifi, tv's, grill, firepit and a stocked lake for fishing round out this gorgeous property. Located so close to shopping and All-Star Village. Thank you to the Howard's for a gracious welcome and comfortable stay!

Beautiful Landscape

We really enjoyed our stay. The inside was clean, airy and fresh. The outside was spectacular. The kids loved waking up to the cows, and fishing on the dock. The kitchen was stocked, the bathroom had fresh towels, and the beds had nice bedding. The farm house was a quick 12 minute drive to all-star village as well. We definitely would stay there again.

Great get-away for Cooperstown All Star Village families!

This is a beautiful location for Cooperstown All Star Village families. Our son stayed in the Village with his team for the week while the rest of our family stayed here. The owners were very friendly and easily accessible. The property is beautifully landscaped with its own fishing pond and views of the mountains in the distance. The cows were amusing to watch each day as they migrated to locations near and far from the home. We also spotted wild turkeys and groundhogs. I felt like we were "glamping" because we had the best of both worlds - outdoor activities such as fishing at the pond and campfires under the stars. Yet we slept, cooked, and showered very comfortably indoors. It's a 15 minute drive to the All Star Village. Other properties are closer but this was worth the drive for comfort and charm.

Awesome Rental!

We stayed here while my son was at Cooperstown All star village for the week! Clean and everything you need is there! Less than 15 min drive to see my son play baseball. The farm life was awesome for my kids to see and the owners are nearby and so helpful and kind! We had a great week and highly recommend!

Great Stay

We were in Oneonta for a week long stay while our son played at All Star Village for a baseball tournament. Great property well appointed, certainly far better than staying in an inn or camping at a cabin. Quaint farm property with great hosts. Fishing pond, mooing cows, 2 rooms, cable TV and l fast Wifi ability to grill out and fire pits. Would very much recommend!

Perfect in every way!

We spent a wonderful week at the pond while our son played at Cooperstown All Star Village. The photos do not do this place just slice. Home is situated on a private park-like property with cows, wild turkeys, a few groundhogs and an amazing pond (full of fish!). All while being in a great location, close to restaurants, shopping and to all star village. Alysia and her husband are wonderful, attentive hosts. It’s apparent that they take a lot of pride in their property and it shows with how well maintained the grounds are and how clean and well kept the home is. One of the nicest properties our family has ever stayed at - you will not be disappointed.

Peaceful retreat

Abner’s Retreat was exactly what we needed after long days of watching baseball games at the Cooperstown Dream Park. The ride to and from the park was about 25 minutes each way but we looked forward to returning each day to the quiet relaxation of the beautiful farm and it’s little pond. We enjoyed fishing at the pond and even caught a few different varieties of fish. The house was in perfect condition, exactly as described. The views from the back porch were amazing! We highly recommend this peaceful retreat!

A wonderful retreat from the business of baseball at the All Star Village. Peaceful spot - loved the pond and sitting outside enjoying the view. A quick 15 minutes to all the action at the All Star Village. Alysia and Tom are available if needed, but everything you need is there. Thank you

Cooperstown family vacation

The house is in the country but very close to town. The Walmart is just 5 minutes down the road from the house. The owners are very nice people, they were extremely helpful. The boys enjoyed the fishing pond next to the house. The house has two out door fire pits next to the pond which made for some nice family evenings around the fire pit making s’mores. We enjoyed our stay much nicer than staying in one of the local hotels for our Cooperstown visit. My son played at the All Star Village, the house was about 15 minutes away.
