The house was wonderful, clean, spacious, and in a great location. Communicating with the host was easy, and the responses were prompt. Great experience overall!
This was the perfect place for us to get together for the weekend! It is beautiful and there is so much space and so much to do we didn't need to leave!
We had a lovely long weekend at The Smith House -- it's a beautiful property with everything you could possibly need. We will absolutely be back again.
Our stay at the Smith House was absolutely amazing. This is by far the best VRBO our family has stayed in. The house was perfect for our family to gather for our daughters wedding which was held at the Farmers Museum. The layout, rooms, and property, exceeded our expectations. Loved this house!
Excellent precheck in communication from the host. Checked in to the Smith House greeted by fresh donuts and local coffee. As my wife said, “that really made it feel so welcoming!”Ample room for our party of 11 ranging from 9-83. Perfect location for grandparents on the ground floor while kids enjoyed bunk beds. Fierce competition all weekend long on pool and pinging tables. Relaxed in the amazing hot tub every night. However , The highlight - far and away - was the adults vs kids whiffle ball game played in the backyard private field (Smith field!). Complete with lights and a scoreboard, the adults rose victorious for a game we’ll never forget.Oh and it’s super convenient to the HOF (the actual reason we came). Thanks for a phenomenal stay. We loved it!
Spacious home w good layout and nice amenities for an adult family long weekend in Cooperstown. Very short, easy drive to town center. All were very pleased with locale and property
The Smith house was the perfect choice for our group during our week at dreams park. The location was so close to the fields and in a beautiful, quiet setting. The house is spacious inside and the game areas were perfect for keeping the kids busy during downtime. The owner was very helpful as well and easy to work with. Would highly recommend this property!
Our group had an amazing stay at the Smith house. The house was absolutely perfect and had so much character. The fire swing and wiffle ball field were definitely a highlight after long days at the baseball fields. We would recommend the Smith house in a heartbeat!
We had a great stay at the Smith house. We really loved staying there and the house was as beautiful as described. The check-in/check-out process was easy. All the directions from Tim were great and we truly enjoyed our time there. Will definitely book this house again.
The Smith House was a great place to stay during our son’s baseball tournament. It is close in proximity to Dreams Park as well as Cooperstown! The house was charming and accommodated our large group very well. The host was also very helpful about giving us recommendations about things to do in the area. I would highly recommend staying at the Smith House!
A really great home and space for a large group of friends or families. The bedrooms were all large with very comfortable beds. The communal areas were wonderful to hang out in and the kitchen was great to cook in! Close to all that Cooperstown has to offer. We checked out some local restaurants and breweries that were all less than 10 minutes away. We cannot wait to return!
This house is amazing. Great location for games at Cooperstown. Beds were so comfy we bought some for our own home. Only complaint is I’m glad I bring a blanket with me when I travel because there aren’t extras in the house. This house was worth it!
We had a group of 14 with age ranges 6-72. There was plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen was very well equipped. Beds were comfortable including the air mattress. The house was very clean. The hot tub was clean and xl which was nice. We did have trouble with the breaker a couple of times but we got it to work. Only a 10 minute drive to Cooperstown. We definitely recommend this house!
While the boys and coaches stayed in the Cooperstown Dreams bunkhouse, we enjoyed the spaciousness, amenities, and convenience of the Smith property. Minutes from the fields, it couldn’t have been better located. We hosted a team pizza party with the boys and adults making full use of the wiffle ball field, fire pit, and ample outdoor space. With lights on the wiffle ball field, the only way we got the team to leave was to meet curfew at the bunkhouse. Being able to bring our fur-kid made the vacation complete. Would 100% stay here again and fully recommend to any group visiting Cooperstown Dreams Park.
This property was perfect for our extended families baseball hall of fame trip - which was an easy 10 minute drive from the house. There was more than enough room for the 10 of us (ages 9-72) and we were greeted with coffee and doughnuts from a local bakery. The property is quiet, wooded and secluded with a lighted wiffleball field to use - which the kids and adults all loved. We enjoyed the wrap around deck, hot tub and fire pit outside for s'mores and an evening fire. Inside the kids loved the basement with plenty of games including ping pong and foosball. It was al little cool in May, but the wood burning stoves worked excellent - and the wood was provided. I would recommend to this to any kind of larger group looking to stay near Cooperstown, and I will hopefully return as well!
This was our second stay at the Smith house and it continues to delight us. It is spacious and has a very comfortable layout, which is well suited for rental by large (or multiple) families. The house is clean, well-stocked and in a terrific location just outside of Cooperstown. I was especially delighted to see a new addition to the house -- a grand piano in the living room. The piano shows its age, but was surprisingly in tune and provides another bit of entertainment in a house already filled with amenities (including a hot tub, billiards table, ping pong table and small ballfield out back, complete with scoreboard). If you're looking for a clean, well-kept house that provides so much to do, this should be at the top of your list.
We had five different family groups staying here on the one house as our boys and a few husbands were staying at Cooperstown Dream Park. Two of the Dads enjoyed cooking in the spacious, open kitchen while the Mom’s and kids played outside, went for walks, played games or lounged around the house. The pool table was a huge hit as we experienced a lot of rain while we were there, but when it wasn’t raining we were outside on the wiffle ball field or on the deck enjoying our time together. There were plenty of toys and games provided so you don’t need to bring your own.
Our only hiccups were quickly resolved and made right by the owner who was easy to reach when needed.
We appreciated the extra chairs in the garage as some of our group flew to NY (from MO) and needed chairs to watch our boys.
This house has everything to offer a large family or multiple family’s. We just wish we could have stayed longer than the week we were there.

About the host
Hosted by Timothy A Smith
This is my childhood home, which we built in 1992, moved away from in 2004, and we purchased again in 2020. Having this home back in the family is the fulfillment of a long-held dream. I grew up here, I love it here, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share it with all who may visit.
Why they chose this property
This property is uniquely situated overlooking the Susquehanna River Valley, just a few miles south of the Village of Cooperstown. It is ideal for multiple families or larger groups visiting the area, and offers something for visitors of all ages.
What makes this property unique
