Relax & commune with nature at our gorgeous 116-acre horse farm only 10 minutes from Cooperstown & 20 minutes from Cooperstown Dreams Park. (*SCROLL TO BOTTOM FOR IMPORTANT CELL PHONE ACCESS INFO!)

Surrounded by green pastures, quiet mountains and grazing horses, your lovingly furnished bedroom in our renovated barn has a private entrance, private bathroom, furnished patio & shared fire-pit. Stroll the peaceful paths that wind through woods & fields or pack a lunch and dine al fresco at the picnic table by the river!

The room has a queen-sized bed, plenty of drawer space for your clothing and accessories, plus shelves, hanger space and all the bathroom amenities. (Please note that the room is designed to be spacious and comfortable for 2 people only. We are unable to accommodate extra guests in the room, whether adults or children.)

The room has its own designated patio with two comfy chairs and a small table for that first morning cup of coffee in the sun. There is no access to a full kitchen, but your room is equipped with a small refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave which we hope will provide you with what you need for a convenient, comfortable stay! Your private en suite bathroom is stocked with towels, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, a hair dryer and other small considerations that we hope you will enjoy.

If you delight in fresh air and nature, there are acres and acres of lovely winding trails for you to explore. Enjoy the peaceful vistas of the Leatherstocking Mountains, wander through our ancient thorn apple orchard, make yourself at home in the grassy fields bordering Cherry Valley creek and out at the very edge of the property pause for a moment, have a seat on a fallen log, and enjoy the cool, dark silence of the hemlock forest. Don't forget to pack a lunch and a beverage so that you can dine al fresco at the picnic table by the river!

Enjoy picking your own apples and berries? You are in luck. We are conveniently located right beside the area's premier U-pick farm, Middlefield Orchard. Just head up the road a half a mile or so and Willie and his crew will welcome you to peruse their delicious array of farm fresh vegetables, baked goods, syrups, honey, jams, pickled vegetables, cider and - of course - apples and berries in season! A few minutes farther up the road Jerry at Bob's Country Store will be happy to offer you a quick fill up, a deli sandwich, and any other standard fare you might expect from a top-notch rural general store.

Take a rather stunning 10-minute drive over the mountain and you will pull into the beautiful village of Cooperstown, approaching from the east and thereby avoiding the business and bustle of Route 28. Here you will find delights too many to mention. From unique bars & restaurants, local shops, a bustling Saturday farmers' market and local breweries & distilleries to nationally acclaimed museums and arts organizations such as the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Fenimore Art Gallery and Glimmerglass Opera Cooperstown is truly the small town that has it all.

Our crown jewel, of course, is glorious Otsego Lake. Located right in the heart of the village, its beauty inspired James Fenimore Cooper to nickname it “Glimmerglass” in his renowned series of novels, Leatherstocking Tales. Boating, kayaking, lake tours on the Glimmerglass Queen, an evening glass of wine on the verandah of the magnificent Otesaga Hotel...the only thing better than visiting Cooperstown is living here!

This is our first year renting the farm space on VRBO and we are excited to begin welcoming guests! Our gardens and outdoor areas are still under construction, however, and the aesthetics of our outdoor spaces are not yet where we would like them to be. We hope the inexpensive nightly fee will compensate our guests for this.

Our home is heated with a state-of-the-art Geothermal System that does not burn fossil fuels. Ask to see our system and find out how it works!

IMPORTANT CELL PHONE SERVICE INFORMATION!!!

***AT&T service works well but VERIZON and T-MOBILE CELL PHONE SERVICE CAN BE SPOTTY OR NON-EXISTENT! PLEASE BE PREPARED TO USE WIFI CALLING! Personally, we use Cricket Wireless, which utilizes AT&T towers, and we have never had a problem getting a strong signal. However, if your cell phone provider utilizes Verizon towers you will likely have spotty service, if any. We are as yet unsure how reliable the T-Mobile service is. Instead, connect to our wifi to easily utilize WiFi calling and messaging.

***Our TV is Roku rather than cable, but the convenient smart screen feature enables our guests to connect to whichever streaming services they prefer.
