My family and I had a blast at Susan’s Lake house. It was the perfect retreat to come back to after long days of baseball. My son was sad that he had to bunk at Cooperstown instead of being able to stay with us here. Many amazing memories made for sure.

Peaceful lake getaway

We had a wonderful stay on the lake! It was so nice to have a place to relax and get away from the intensity of CASV. All the access to kayaks and canoes was a wonderful bonus.

Great place for families.

We stayed here while my son was playing baseball in Cooperstown,NY. This was a perfect spot to not be in the more congested area around park while still having the convience of being only 15-20 mins from the park. We enjoyed having the place on the lake to fish and relax.

Perfect Lake Home

Great owners and communications was perfect throughout. My son was in Cooperstown Baseball Tournament and home was perfect to keep my 14 yr old son busy. Fishing, swimming and other activities was super easy from this home on the water. They had all you needed. 5 Stars...Thank you for a great stay and we will be back. Bill and Antoinette.

This was an incredible place to spend a week as a family visiting Cooperstown and the Hall of Fame. The pros far outweighed the cons, which weren't significant enough to take off a star. Easily a 5-star stay, and we would be thrilled to return one day!Just some of the many positives of the property:- Well equipped with everything you need and then some (outdoor toys and games, indoor games, kitchen tools, etc.). Washer/dryer and dishwasher are a huge plus!- Awesome swimming! It was hard to tell what the waterfront would look like from the listing, and I was bracing for lots of weeds/reeds, muck, etc. Much to our delight, there was a large, clear waterfront, and you could see straight down to the bottom and walk all the way out to the floating dock (which was at the shore when we arrived but was fixed within 24 hours!). Water shoes are helpful due to rocks and shells, but there's nothing gross!- Private lot and quiet cove, but an easy drive to many amenities, including downtown Cooperstown and a new favorite restaurant, Brooks BBQ in Oneonta.- Luxurious master suite upstairs with A/C and a jacuzzi tub.The only downsides we encountered were:- Difficulty on the hottest days of our trip getting the downstairs a comfortable temperature, but there were fans available that helped, and we just went swimming when we wanted to cool down!- Bottom bunk has more of a futon cushion than a real mattress, which wasn't incredibly comfortable, but the kids didn't notice or mind!

Beautiful setting on Goodyear Lake

We stayed here while our son was playing at All-Star Village (10-15 minute drive). The setting is absolutely gorgeous, and the house is comfortable, clean, and very well-stocked. We enjoyed paddling the canoe and kayaks around the lake. The only thing I wished I knew ahead of time is that you can't really swim right off the dock in the cove itself (too weedy and mucky), but if you paddle out into the main part of the lake, you can dive in there. Apart from that, we would definitely stay here again. It's a beautiful, peaceful, comfortable, and well-kept property. I would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful and serene lake house

We came because our son was at the Cooperstown All star village and we almost didn't want to leave because this house was so nice and relaxing. It was a beautiful spot and the lake was a quiet peaceful section with fish jumping out of the water a few people fishing and boating and in general just beautiful views all around. Cooperstown was wonderful but before and after a long day at the baseball fields it was really nice to settle into some peace and quiet here. Our only regret was that we didn't stay longer to fish and kayak and enjoy the house more once our son finished playing. If we go back, we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Host and house were perfect!!!!!

Perfect relaxing getaway

We really enjoyed our much needed week away. The house is open and bright with beautiful views of the cove. The house was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed spending time on the deck and having fires in the fire pit. The kayaks were fun and there were also canoes and a row boat we didn’t use but which are available. We also enjoyed hiking the trails at the end of the road at the public boat launch. Susan was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. The only negative which is beyond the owners control is the large amount of seaweed right off the property in the cove which made it impossible to swim off the dock or the floating dock. We ended up renting a pontoon boat for the week and swimming in the open water which was great.

Stayed at this beautiful lake front property while in town playing at Cooperstown. Had all the comforts of home plus more. Very easy check-in and checkout. Very clean, and all of the boats kept my family entertained when not on the field. We had a campfire and BBQ on our final night with another family, many fish were caught and drinks were had. What a fantastic place to stay, greatful to have found the listing.

Nice place with perfect scenery

If I could give the lake and the grounds surrounding the property 20 stars I would. Waking up every morning to the lake and hanging out in the water was spectacular. Kayaks and canoes are on site which were a huge plus. Inside of the home needs some upgrades. Furniture is a bit stained, the appliances could be updated, and the beds could be more comfortable. There is only one tv in the house, but we didn’t mind that so much, although some people may have a problem with that. There is no central ac. There is a room ac upstairs in the bedroom but not throughout the house, nor the second bedroom (second bedroom has a fan). It did get a bit warm in the house during some of the days. There are 2 skylights in the upstairs bedroom so the room becomes super bright starting at 6am. The location is convenient to Cooperstown dreams park (15 minutes away) and downtown Cooperstown (20 minutes away). Overall, it’s a nice place to stay with incredible lake access and views.

Incredible lakeside getaway

This was a perfect location and a cozy home away from the craziness of Allstar Village, Cooperstown. We were able to enjoy peace and quiet on the lake and it was such a beautiful property. My son caught TONS of fish and we both spent hours kayaking and canoeing. Some of our friends stayed close by and their homes were a bit more updated, but they didn't have the use of a lakeside lawn (for wiffleball) and the easy access to the water. Susan let us use her boats and fishing rods - this made all the difference and we had the best and most magical time ever. Susan was also very responsive and we appreciated that. We even saw some fireflies. Thank you!!

Beautiful view and lake access. House inside is outdated. No central A/C. Bunk beds were not made when we arrived, only a comforter over mattress. House had spiders and spider webs throughout. There was also dust throughout house. There is only one tv, which is pretty small. Pool table/ping pong is misleading as it is a miniature set upstairs without adequate room to even play and missing pieces.

Cooperstown Week

Great place to stay if in town for the Cooperstown tournament or just looking for a cabin on a lake. It’s as listed and check in was great! Beautiful mornings and evening relaxing on the lake with fishing jumping everywhere. Only issue is it’s about a 15-20min drive to CASV and you might have to commute a couple times a day. Overall, I would definitely recommend it!

Beautiful, Quiet Retreat in a Great Location

We stayed here with our younger son, while our oldest was playing at All Star Village. It was conveniently located to scoot back and forth for games, and gave our youngest a dream vacation week of fishing (too many perch and sunfish caught to count!), swimming and kayaking. You can’t beat the view and the cove is quiet and relaxing. The house has a great layout, is well stocked, and has lots for kids to do inside and out - we even caught the ice cream truck coming by one night! We loved our stay and would highly recommend to anyone coming into town for baseball.

Perfect Lake House!!!

We were in town while my son played at All Star Village and this home could not have been more perfect. A 15 minute drive to the fields and so many things for my other 2 kids to do when they weren’t watching baseball. The canoes and kayaks provided were awesome with a nice big yard for them to play in as well. We were able to relax and make meals at the house- it worked out perfectly for our family.
