Perfect setup!

Drakes Escape was the perfect location and place to stay when your child is playing at All Star Dreams. You are close to the fields, close to downtown Oneonta, and the pavilion/area for kids to play is absolutely perfect! We did a bbq one night and got our whole team together and it was a blast! I would highly recommend Linda and Drakes Escape! Linda was always there to answer questions if needed and provided us with anything we needed!

Quick to Cooperstown All Star Village

We originally booked at a local hotel. When we got to the hotel, it was a nightmare! We quickly started looking for a home and found Drake’s Escape. The owner, Linda, responded to our SOS immediately! She gave us the address to drive by and she even met us there. Her hospitality and kindness was amazing. We thoroughly loved our stay. Our last night, we used the BBQ and sat outside for our last dinner at the house. We comfortably fit two families of 3 and had room for maybe 1 more family. We were there for Cooperstown. The identical house next store is also hers and the entire property is large enough for a few baseball families to stay together and enjoy the huge yard and BBQ.

Perfect CASV group accommodations

Drake’s escape did not disappoint. We were only 10 minutes from CASV with lots around us (grocery and restaurants). Our cottage was perfect for 2 families. We had our own space plus shared space. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The owners were amazing. Attentive and informative. With the 3 places on one property, this is the perfect location for team families to rent together. We enjoyed the shared pavilion each evening to finish our days. If you have a group looking to be close together, check this place out!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Drake

My husband and I live in Oneonta. I have been a local person all my life. I went to school in Cooperstown and I went to college in Oneonta. I am a bank of information for directions and fun things to do around here. We love to travel and I have some of my photographs in the house. I hope you enjoy them.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this land in 2018. The large yard connects to the home where I raised my three children. Newly constructed cottages in shape of a barn gives you that country feel in city limits! They are spacious inside and has plenty of space for the children to play or for you to relax.

What makes this property unique

Once you wind your way down the streets to these barns, one forgets that you are in the city of Oneonta. My children learned to ride bikes on the dead end street next door. It was a place that they could run and play outside and I didn't have to worry about them. These barn cottages, combined with the other home, have the largest yard in Oneonta for your family to enjoy.
Oneonta and surroundings offers a lot of entertainment. Some examples are: Oneonta Tigers (minor league baseball team) games in the park down the road, two beautiful parks, Orpheus Theatre, Franklin Play Company, Glimmerglass Opera, many small lakes to visit, Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame (of course), The Farmer's Museum, The Fennimore House, and much more!!!!!!!!!
