What an amazing place! The house was perfectly situated right on the lake with stunning views — it couldn’t be more idyllic. Everything was clean and well-kept, and the kids absolutely loved the rowboat and the fire pit where we made s’mores. The perfect getaway for a peaceful weekend away from everyday life. Highly recommended for families!

Thank you for your stay and so glad you enjoyed the Over Water Bungalow. We apologize for any unexpected flies or lady bugs as occasionally when spring hits they do come in when previous guests leave doors or windows open. We do our best to get them all but sometimes can miss a few between stays.

Enjoyable Family Weekend!

My family spent Easter weekend at the bungalow. The location was beautiful, and the cabin was very clean and spacious for our family of 4! The weather was not great, but it didn't matter, we just enjoyed the scenery and my boys spent hours just fishing of the dock!

Fantastic spot! It was literally 9 minutes away from the Cooperstown All Star Village and made for the perfect getaway while our son was at the Village playing ball! Clean, lovely, quite, cozy and the owner is super responsive. We give it a 10/10! Couldn't love this spot more!

Amazing Escape

This was the PERFECT place for our family during our CASV experience. So nice to get away to the quiet, serene, lake front house after a long day of baseball. Kitchen could use some more amenities, but other than that it was fantastic!

Excellent Property

Lots of fun enveloped in the beautiful scenery. Completely your own Cabin for as long as you stay. Nature hikes, catch some fish, kayak across the lake or just sip coffee as the sun rises...a magical place!

We loved our stay while our son played at Cooperstown Dreams Park. While not as close as All Star Village, Dreams Park was only about a 30 minute drive. His twin brother enjoyed fishing off the deck and caught several varieties. The home was clean, comfortable, and quiet. We would definitely stay there again.

We stayed at the Cedars cabin while our son had a baseball tournament in Cooperstown. The property was beautiful and had everything we could have needed. The getaway was remote while still having plenty to do. Would highly recommend!

Peaceful getaway

This cabin was everything we were looking for - a peaceful getaway of fishing, kayaking, and relaxing. Our dog loved exploring the trails all around the property and our children were fully entertained with all the salamanders, fish, frogs and even a turtle that they found in the lake. We really enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to booking again in the future!

From the moment we pulled up to this amazing and unique rental we knew this was a hidden gem in the catskills. We were looking for a low key getaway with our friends and this rental was the perfect spot. The view was amazing and the house beautiful. Glamping at its finast!

Beautiful cabin

Brand new log cabin over the water! Our family of 6 stayed here and loved the view. We took out the boat and cooked dinner in the well stocked kitchen. We had an unexpected blizzard and the host was very helpful getting the driveway plowed. Definitely recommend for a getaway!
