Your home made our special day, even more memorable and beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for more. Everything about this home is inviting. The atmosphere is relaxing and the views were unbelievably breathtaking! There was more than enough room for both our families. The owners Amos and Sarah, were so helpful and gracious! We cannot thank you enough.

Wonderful property and very friendly host!
Some friends and I stayed at the house for 4 days (3 nights), and it is amazing! Spacious enough that people can spread out and engage in multiple activities without being on top of each other, but also roomy enough for when we all got togetger for group activities and meals. Second house had it's own kitchenette, pool table, ping pong and lounge while the main house was great for watching movies, playing group games, and cooking meals for 10+ people. The views are absolutely stunning and Amos was very pleasant and responsive. Would absolutely go back: 10out of 10 star experience!

Our Fifth Stay
As this was our fifth stay at the property, it goes without saying that we have had many enjoyable times there and find the property and location to be very lovely and ideal for our purposes. It is much the same now as it had been on our four previous visits. We did notice this year that there was much less firewood provided than in the past. A whole wall of the garage used to be stocked with firewood, but this time the amount we were provided only allowed us to have indoor fires for part of the day on two of our three nights at the property, as we were worried about running out of wood. This was somewhat disappointing, as the ability to enjoy the fireplace for the duration of our stay has always been an important selling point of the property. We thought that perhaps this was simply a timing issue that would not have occurred if a wood delivery had taken place more recently. Otherwise, we had a good, relaxing time. We will certainly be considering a return visit in the future.

Wonderful home!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The great room is exactly what we look for on trips, since it has room for everyone in our group of 14, and includes those in the kitchen as well. The hot tub was inviting, as the weather was cold and rainy while we were there. I would love to go back another time and enjoy the views in the nicer weather - it is an amazing property! Amos was very responsive during the whole process. We recommend his home to everyone!

The views are incredible
off the bat the views are incredible no matter which way you look. Seriously, bring a camera and binoculars. The interior is huge and tons of windows. The hot tub was really nice and clean. They allowed us to host our wedding there and the space was perfect. We had a couple of small snags but the owners were incredibly good with communicating. A thing of note: there is no door to the master bedroom. You do have your own wing of the house and bathroom but there is no door. The barn is beautiful as well and has 3 separate beds with it's own private living space. Overall the place is definitely worth the stay.

Amos was veryeasy to deal with fromthe start. Property was perfect for our party of 10. Our boys enjoyed playing wiffle ball and the hot tub when not at baseball. The views during all times of the day were amazing. Dark property makes it great for viewing of the stars. Soooo beautiful. Definitely would rent again.

Great getaway with friends. Had 5 kids age 8-11 with us and they loved the openness of the land to play. Parents loved the serenity of having no one in site. Views were amazing. We visited the Baseball Hall of Fame and Howe Caverns, both 30 min away. Come prepared with food not many places nearby for shopping. Gorgeous great room to sit by the fire and unplug.

Relaxing
I found this place online and thought it looked like a relaxing place. It is!! You will need to bring meals or groceries with you. You can drive into Cooperstown approx. 23 miles. We ate breakfast at the house and then lunch or dinner in town. Unless you want to spend the whole day in town. We also went to Glimmerglass some days after having breakfast and packed our lunch/snacks and then ate dinner in town and walked around town. It is a nice place to get away. House is air conditioned in the two extra bedrooms not the master bedroom. It is air conditioned in the media room but not in the kitchen/great room. If it is hot outside it will be very warm in the kitchen/great room till evening. We spent our time in the media room if it was too warm. It worked for us. In the evening it was comfortable. Thank you Amos for a great place to stay!!! :) Taryn

Very nice views
We had a nice stay. Views were great, location was good for use, 30 minutes to downtown Cooperstown. We were disappointed with some stuff based on reading the reviews of others. The main room is great but needs curtains/shades, during summer the sun just beats in the windows and the room gets very hot(no AC). House overall seemed a bit beat up, half the outlets worked, holes and chips in some walls, both shows doors leaked on the floor. There were wood bees everywhere outside, especially by the hot tub, made it hard to enjoy the deck and patio without being swarmed by bees. Overall stay was nice, just a bit disappointed in the quality for the price, especially based on the other reviews we read.

A great getaway in a beautiful home set in an idyllic location!
The Home: Beautiful, well maintained, and clean. The main room where the kitchen and living room are, is absolutely amazing and has a beautiful view of rolling hills. The radiant floor heating makes the property extremely comfortable no matter how frightful the weather is outside. Comfortable beds, plenty of couches and room to spread out. A couple small notes: 1) two of the beds/bedrooms have only a partial wall between them; great for kids but probably not for adults. 2) be VERY careful about leaving food or crumbs anywhere in the kitchen, including in the sink, on counters, or on dining room table; if you are not careful, you will be taken over by thousands (literally) of little ants. Put everything that isn't sealed into the refrigerator to be safe! 3) when you arrive, the hot tub will likely be set at a very low temp (like 82 deg), so you will need to manually turn the temperature up and wait several hours for it to warm up. 4) The wifi is very slow (satellite based), so do not expect to be able to do video-calls for work (eg Zoom, Teams) without a lot of lag. 5) The hot tub is oriented in a funny way, where your primary view is of the garage; it would be nice to rotate it 180-degrees so that the open cover blocks the view of the garage and your primary view is of the farms/hills. The Location: If you're looking to get away from urban sprawl, this is an ideal spot. It's set on a beautiful landscape, atop a small hill with limitless views of rolling hills and farmland. But there is a cost of being so far out: do not expect to order delivery of anything, especially food! We made the mistake of only buying essentials at the grocery store before arriving, but you'll want to bring stuff to cook (in the amazing and well-stocked kitchen!) otherwise you'll be traveling about 45-mins (round-trip) to get something reasonably good (the mediterranean place in Fort Plain has great pizza!). The only other picky thing about the location, is there is another house on the property; there are people living there, not sure if they're renters or the owners. We never really saw them, other than their vehicles driving in-out intermittently, but it's worth pointing out that you'll likely have close neighbors. The owners: We didn't interact much with them, but when we had questions (e.g., about where the full-pot coffee maker was), Amos was quick to respond and helpful. They clearly put a lot of care and thoughtfulness into their property, and we appreciate it!

The house was great. It was exactly as described in the listing. There were many linens and the kitchen was well stocked with all the items needed for cooking. There was a winter storm while we were there and it was incredibly windy and cold outside. Despite the cold winter weather, the house stayed very warm.

Perfect Winter Getaway!
A beautiful long weekend with my husband and three little kids! The house was perfectly clean, check-in smooth. The view from the great room was breathtaking! It was a chilly few days but the hot tub was still so enjoyable. We had an issue with the fireplace the first night but quickly resolved the problem after talking with Amos. He was extremely attentive and easy to get a hold of. We had an amazing time and plan to return in the fall or next winter. Added bonus - we were there for Super Bowl Sunday. The projection screen in the tv room made it a great place to watch!

Peaceful Retreat
My group has been staying in Amos' house almost annually for many years. We like him and his property very much. Our most recent stay was mostly issue-free. The hot water heater failed one morning, but Amos was right down the road and able to get it started again. The home is clean, well-appointed, with plenty of firewood, furniture in good condition, and plenty of toys for the young children to enjoy. The views from the hill to the surrounding countryside are spectacular. We hope to be able to stay with Amos for many more years to come.
