Little piece of heaven near the opera

This was our second stay at Skillen Farm and we've already booked for next year. Stunning views, very peaceful, well located for our excursions. The gardens are lovely and the home is well appointed. It works very well for our annual trek to The Glimmerglass Festival.

Cooperstown Retreat

We stayed in this lovely home during our sons Cooperstown Deam Tournament experience. It is 20 mins from the park, and very rural. I had a great time playing wiffle ball in the yard, and going on long tree covered, very hilly, runs. Overall, I highly recommend this property.

The pictures did not do this property justice. Well appointed and clean. Lots of outside property for recreation. If you like being in a historic rural setting, this is the place for you.

little piece of heaven near the opera

Skillen Farm is the perfect getaway for us. It's close to the Glimmerglass Festival, which is why we come to the area every year, in a beautiful and peaceful setting. The house is extremely comfortable, with many different spaces for guests to spend time together, or find some alone time: a large deck, patio space, front porch, screened in porch and lots of green space to enjoy. The bedrooms are comfortable, and the kitchen is well appointed and easy to work in. We love being there, always wish we could stay longer, and are already looking forward to next year!

A perfect stay near Cooperstown

We had a great stay at this wonderful home right near Cooperstown. A very pleasant 12 minute drive into town . Far enough away to have peace and quiet and close enough to conveniently see everything the town has to offer . Very peaceful surroundings inside and outside of the property, and we especially loved the living room and the deck, both which had such a beautiful view for sunsets every night. Very clean and well appointed home, we can’t say enough nice things about this vacation home. Terrific communication with the owner, Chris throughout. Certainly the next time we plan a visit to Cooperstown we would stay here again!

Great Place - Easy drive to Cooperstown

My family and I had a wonderful stay while our son was playing baseball at Cooperstown Dreams Park. The house is about 20 minutes from the Park and about 10-15 minutes from Cooperstown. It was a great location for us. Chris was an amazing host. The place was very clean and inviting. We even initially had some issues when the wifi was not working (it was knocked out from some powerful storms the night before we arrived) and Chris was very quick to get it fixed. I would highly receommend and we would definitely stay again.

Heaven in the country

The description of the property doesn't do it justice. I am always surprised when I choose a VRBO and arrive to see how it fits the description perfectly. This property far exceeds. It is a few miles outside Cooperstown but worth the short drive for the quiet of it's surroundings. We experienced wildlife viewing, early morning dewy sunrises and lots of relaxation. It felt more like home than a vacation rental. Christopher was a superb host. We will visit this property again.

Overall, a wonderful and peaceful place to stay close to Cooperstown. The only negative were the window unit air conditioners which were very noisy and no air conditioning downstairs. Perhaps invest in some splits air conditioners?

This place was a dream! Our family stayed here while our son played in Cooperstown Dreams Park. It was about a 20 minute drive. The property was gorgeous, secluded, the house clean and charming! We loved playing whiffle ball out on the large lawn, sitting on the porch for meals, looking at the deer that wandered through and the FIREFLIES! This was our first time seeing them and the surrounding fields were full of them. Chris was excellent at responding to questions. Highly recommend!

The home and property were beautiful. In true Upstate NY fashion we experienced nearly all four seasons within the week. Please note only the bedrooms have AC window units and it was very hot in the main living areas on the hot days. The view is spectacular and the million stars and fireflies were outstanding.
