The original part of the house was a 1-room schoolhouse built in the 1800's. This home now features an open floor concept that marries vintage details with modern amenities. Character exudes the home including original hardwood floors (ground level), blackboards, light fixtures, working water fountain and a claw foot tub. The downstairs has 15ft ceilings which make the space feel grand.

Upon entry, the open living/dining is immediately to your left. The Livingroom features a large flat-screen TV, sectional sofa and queen pull-out couch. A farmhouse table seats 8-10, plus outdoor seating available in warmer weather.

Our well-stocked kitchen is located to the back of the living/dining area and provides everything needed to make cozy home-cooked meals.

On the first floor there are 2 bedrooms off the living/dining - 1 with a king bed and one with a double bed (size up from twin). Please note that the double room downstairs technically accommodates two individuals, but for comfort is likely more suitable for a single adult. A bathroom off the hallway has a clawfoot tub with shower converter.

There is a full set of stairs to the second floor.

On the second floor, there are four bedrooms. One king bedroom with a small (single) futon and en-suite bathroom with stand-up shower (one step up to enter). There are also 2 queen bedrooms, and a twin bedroom. There is a 2nd floor bath off the hallway with a stand-up shower (one step up to enter). An outdoor shower is also available seasonally.

The main living area and all bedrooms have window AC units in the summer, with exception of the twin bedroom upstairs, which boasts an industrial fan. In colder months there is baseboard heating which reaches a maximum of 75 degrees.

For family fun and entertainment, there is a game room in a separate 840 square foot building, complete with lounge area, TV/DVD player, pool table, ping pong, Foosball, air hockey and outdoor basketball hoop. You will also find board games, puzzles and a variety of lawn games here as well. The Gameroom does not have heat or AC.

There is an extensive ground-level deck area with gas grill, picnic table for 6 and seating area. The outdoor shower is located just off the deck. Also available seasonally and in compliance with local burn laws, is a solo stove and Adirondack seating. In the winter outdoor furniture/firepit are placed in storage and the outdoor shower is turned off prior to the first freeze.

*MAXIMUM property occupancy is 12--we do not allow any parties or events to be held. Please note this is *strictly enforced* and any additional guests will be asked to leave in order for us to remain compliant with our local ordinance.

*MAXIMUM of 4 vehicles allowed. The garage pictured in the photos is the converted Gameroom and is not available for parking. One exterior security camera is located on the Gameroom, monitoring the driveway/entry.

Lawn Maintenace: All efforts are made for any lawn care to be completed prior to your stay. However there are times when this cannot be accommodated (usually due to weather). We will notify you if we are required to complete lawn care at a time during your stay, while attempting to do this at a time most convenient to you.

Snow Removal: The driveway is approximately 100 feet long. If you are staying with us at a time when snow is expected, please watch for falling snow on the metal roof. A shovel and salt is provided for guests to clear the walkway as needed. Plow services vary dependent upon their schedule and will not be provided for anything less than 2 inches. We suggest 4WD or AWD vehicles for this area at anytime snow is expected.

We (Darcey and Evan) are just down the road if needed!

This home was built in the 1800's and may contain lead paint. Please keep in mind you are in the country surrounded by farmland. While all efforts are made to keep bugs and rodents at bay, we cannot control this 100%. Of note the large ceiling fan and pellet stove in the living room are not operational at this time.

We are so happy we picked this house. We had an amazing time. The kids had an amazing time and loved the game room. I think it was really cool to be allowed to write our names on the wall in the game room. It was really close to Cooperstown dreams park. The house is beautiful and a big family area to hang out all together. Definitely recommend this house. Thank you again

Charming and Spacious Rental Near Cooperstown – Perfect for Families!

We had a wonderful stay at this unique old schoolhouse just minutes from Cooperstown Dreams Park. From the moment we arrived, we were charmed by the home’s character and history. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out, which is a huge bonus when traveling with kids. The game room was a total hit — air hockey, foosball, and ping pong kept the kids entertained for hours while the adults relaxed. It’s in a quiet, scenic area but still just a short, easy drive to Dreams Park, downtown Cooperstown, and nearby restaurants.If you’re looking for a rental with charm, space, and great access to Cooperstown attractions, this is it. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Family Reunion at the Baseball Hall of Fame

Host communication was great. Check-in was easy (and in fact, we were allowed early access). The property itself was great for our family reunion. It's a great location for exploring Cooperstown and for all things Baseball Hall of Fame. The kitchen has everything you need to cook for a dozen people. The game room was also a nice added benefit. We would 100% recommend this property and intend to use it again in the future

Perfect for our vacation

The house was charming, comfortable and the right size for our family group of 6 adults and 6 children. Location was perfect, close to Hall of Fame, Fenimore Farm, Rail Explorer, and many restaurants, grocery store and breweries. The game room and big front lawn were wonderful for 6 very active boys!

Location

The historic schoolhouse was an awesome house for kids and gatherings for a baseball team. The location could not have been better. It sits right between downtown Cooperstown and the Dream Park fields. The kids loved the game room and spent every waking moment not at the fields in there. It was perfect! The online photos do not do it justice!

Darling home with tons of charm

We rented the house with a few families while our boys played baseball at CDP. We originally didn’t think we’d spend much time at the house during down time, but everyone always wanted to go back! The siblings LOVED the game room, as did the Dads with a ping pong tournament and evening poker. Boys were also constantly playing wiffle ball in the front yard. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening and one chilly morning. As you’ll see in the photos, even the adults enjoyed the chalkboards The home accommodated us all very comfortably with plenty of privacy and space. The washer/dryer was so nice to have and was able to return home with all clean clothes . The area is just beyond beautiful. We took morning walks down by toddsville, the first street on the left when you leave the house to the right. Highly recommend! Beautiful river/creek and lots of nature. We are hoping to return in 2-3 years when our second son plays here. Highy recommend booking, Darcy and her husband were great!

Great house for a friends getaway

This house is perfectly located for a trip to the Cooperstown area. Additionally, there are a lot of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate a good sized group. The common areas, including the game room lend themselves really well to hanging out with friends. I highly recommend this house. Last note, the owner was very responsive to any questions we had, both leading up to and during our stay.

Great way to celebrate

Location was perfect. The house was super clean and Darcey was a host very easy to communicate with. There was something for everyone in the game room. My only recommendation would be to get some firewood prior to your first night. We went to dinner and many stores close early. So we didn’t get firewood till the next morning . Highly recommend staying here for your family vacation!

Back to School

We all got something different and fantastic from our experience here. The kids loved the chalkboards, retro desk, pencil sharpener, water fountain. Demerits all around--just because. Detention, too! For me, it was a cafe with beautiful classical music filling the walls surrounded with plenty of comfortable seating to read a book and listen to people chatting. For 3 of our families, it was a party from 1985. They filled that garage with oldies party songs/singing that had everyone laughing. They met in the evenings for darts, pool, and ping pong. Then, there was the kitchen. We had a couple of cooks in our group. The kitchen had everything we needed to share many meals--crock pot, pots and pans, dishes, and both Keurig and coffee pot. We picked up pork and beef from the local butcher. Pork slow cooked in the crock pot for bbq, beef for taco night, cold cuts and rolls from Price Chopper for hoagies, and a delicious breakfast everyday. Seems like the owners thought of everything when they setup this house. Our beds (we stayed on the main floor) were comfortable and we slept great. The other families said their spaces were comfortable as well. The extra blankets were perfect. The indoor temperature was easily regulated. Plenty of towels. Washer and dryer worked great. It all worked out perfectly. We'd definitely stay here again! Thank you so much for sharing your place with us.

Food stores are only a couple of minutes away - the location is great. Then there is my fav.... the outdoor shower > the water is so warm... so relaxing. Can't wait to visit again.

Perfect Fall Getaway!

We stayed at Amy’s School House with our 3 children to visit Coopersotwn in the Fall—the area was beautiful this time of year and the house is just a few minutes from town! The home was just as described, with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Beds were comfortable and each room had its own ROKU TV for you to sign in on your own streaming accounts. The house was very clean and had everything we needed, including starter supplies of soap, shampoo/conditioner, paper products, ect. We were able to grill out on the large deck and the kitchen was well stocked with anything you would need to prepare all your meals at home. The biggest hit was the game room which offered a nice space for the kids to entertain themselves and for the adults to have some fun too! The house was so charming and unique- just what we were looking for! Darcey stayed in touch with details for check in/check out and was easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting a family friendly home in Cooperstown!

House had lots of space. Beds comfortable and kitchen well equipped. Loved the school house theme. Land was amazing. Garage made for a fun time for football and games. Although couldn’t find the darts. Wish it was easier to get an Uber to down town. Luckily we have some in the group that do not drink alcohol. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Darcy for going out of your way to help us with our item that we left behind.
