COOPERSTOWN DREAMS PARK/ALL STAR VILLAGE RENTAL ON LAKE

Great spot on the water! So peaceful and relaxing place to enjoy. No AC, which we knew going in, so early July and an exceptionally hot week made it a little rough. The hosts do not want guests so maybe not the best place to stay if you’re there for baseball. She did offer some flexibility after we talked about it as long as you communicate with her she’d allow small group of visitors— if you provide names of all guests coming. They do stay on the property with you while you are there in the garage above the house, so felt a bit strange. Not a VRBO experience that we were used to. All in all, pleased with the stay.

Wonderful cottage, close enough to ASV but far away enough for breaks between games, fishing and hot tub were great for our family.

Our family had a lovely time at this cozy, quaint cottage on the lake. So intimate and homey. A peaceful and lovely lake escape in beautiful upstate New York. Perfect for a Cooperstown baseball family visit! Very sunny and bright. Great dock area for swimming and relaxing/reading! Kind and endearing owners.

The owner of this property does not want to rent it and doesn't want you in their home. They stayed in the apartment above the garage and monitored us during our stay. They had very specific instructions on every light switch, screen door, appliance, trash process, parking location, etc.... All of which were explained during a 30 min walkthrough and outlined with sticky notes. At one point the owner was pruning her trees outside the window to the bathroom while one of our female guests was using it. To clarify, the lady was nice but she should not rent her property because she clearly doesn't want people there.

Lakeside is a secluded respite from Cooperstown Allstar Village, only a 15 minute drive away. Rustic home has well appointed kitchen with bed and breakfast feel. Open windows and fans cool home nicely without air conditioning. Lake is perfect for paddling and swimming. Enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Would have appreciated more freedom for guests as we have enjoyed at VRBO for many years but managed to visit family and friends elsewhere with occasional flexibility from owner to visit at the home. Tough to manage 1st and last night for boys from Allstar Village with 7 night stay requirement and occupancy limit which is strictly monitored. Appreciated owners notice that they were staying at adjacent apartment.

The good: Owners were super nice people. The house was as the pictures had shown, beautiful view of Goodyear lake. Nice deck and yard. The bad: The place wasn’t quite ready at check in time. The owners stayed on the property for the first half of our trip. We wanted to rent a boat for the week however we were told we could not dock it at the property even though listing advertises tubing as something to do. There is a no guest policy which is not stated on the listing. Most places have a policy against team parties which I completely understand, but to not be able to have a friend over seemed over the top. Not allowed to have a fire,. We had to buy ant traps to put out because ants were crawling around. There s no Air conditioning which made it really uncomfortable to sleep at night. There appeared to be something resembling mouse droppings under the couch cushion. We ended up leaving a day early and staying in a hotel.
