Absolutely beautiful, peaceful and serene farm. The home was charming and exactly as described. We stayed for our daughter’s softball tournament in Cooperstown-it was perfect and only 15 minutes away. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay. The property was as described, very clean, and beautiful scenery. We also purchased fresh farm eggs and beef which was a bonus. If we come back with our younger son for baseball we will definitely book here!

Our family has a fantastic stay! If you’re looking for a place not far from All Star Village, we highly recommend. It had plenty of room for a family of four, well stocked kitchen, working A/C but the bonus is being on the farm. Our oldest enjoyed time fishing and our youngest absolutely adored the cows, space to run and the fire pit. It’s a great place to get away from the ASV chaos. Thank you for a wonderful time!

What a lovely property and very clean “cabin” to stay in. We were in town for a tournament at All Star Village (15 minutes away) and opted for this private pond side retreat in the mountains. It was a much welcome break from suburban life. My kids loved seeing the cows every day and fishing in the pond. We would definitely stay here again.

This property is stunning and so peaceful. It was a nice retreat for my husband and my 8 year old son as our 12 year old played at ASV. Our son absolutely loved feeding the cows and fishing in the pond. The hosts were always available to answer our questions and the unit was very clean. We would definitely stay here again!

I am glad you enjoyed our property. I apologize for the lack of communication comment, but I am not sure where you left any messages, as I did not receive any. My husband and I live on the property and always make ourselves available. Again, my apologies. Alysia

Wonderful rental for a baseball week!

Had such an amazing time! House was so clean, comfortable and well stocked with anything you could need. My son played at ASV and we were very close by. Beautiful scenery and so tranquil! My son came back after the last game and was able to enjoy a home cooked meal and fish while I cooked. Believe me you will love you experience there.

Perfect for Baseball Tournament

My son was playing in the tournament at All Star Village. My place was perfect to head back to between games, make meals and get a little work done. It was just me staying, but it would also be great with your spouse and kid. Loved the peacefulness of the property and patio by the pond.

July 4th weekend getaway

Beautiful setting, very quiet. Seems quite new. In great condition. Convenient to many stores but you still feel like you are tucked away in the woods. The kitchen is adequate but not a lot of counter top space if you plan to cook. Perhaps could add a rolling island to accommodate this. All amenities were very good. Well appointed.

Nancy, Thank you for your kind review! I am glad that you enjoyed your stay at our property. I appreciate your feedback and will consider adding a rolling island for additional counter space.
