Great stay
The house was perfect. It was close to the park and after a long day there it was perfect to just come back and cool off in the lake.

Nice break from the park
We were there to watch our son play at Dreams park and it was exactly what we were looking for. A break for us to relax by the lake. Everything we needed plus a bald eagle!

Cooperstown Week
Great place to stay if in town for the Cooperstown tournament or just looking for a cabin on a lake. It’s as listed and check in was great! Beautiful mornings and evening relaxing on the lake with fishing jumping everywhere. Only issue is it’s about a 15-20min drive to CASV and you might have to commute a couple times a day. Overall, I would definitely recommend it!

Perfect lake house!
This was the perfect lake house for our trip to Cooperstown! It was the most beautiful, peaceful setting and only a 15 minute east drive to CASV. The cottage was well stocked, clean, with tons of water toys. Would highly recommend this house for cooperstown families or anyone looking for a great vacation!

Beautiful Little Spot
This is a great location as it sits in the back of a quiet cove on Goodyear Lake. It is very relaxing and was a very nice respite from the hectic schedule of baseball at All Star Village.

Great place for families.
We stayed here while my son was playing baseball in Cooperstown,NY. This was a perfect spot to not be in the more congested area around park while still having the convience of being only 15-20 mins from the park. We enjoyed having the place on the lake to fish and relax.

Cooperstown Dream Park Stay
Stayed here while one son was playing at Dream park. 18 minute drive that was super easy. Great house and lake property to rest up and entertain two younger children. Enjoyed spare time on the row boat, fishing and throwing ball in the yard. Comfortable and cozy furnishings made this an easy stay.

Comfortable home in a pretty setting
We really enjoyed our stay at the Lakehouse. We kayaked and fished in between baseball games at the All Star Village. We even found a great running trail right down the street from the house that went around part of Goodyear Lake. We had a great stay!

Beautiful, Quiet Retreat in a Great Location
We stayed here with our younger son, while our oldest was playing at All Star Village. It was conveniently located to scoot back and forth for games, and gave our youngest a dream vacation week of fishing (too many perch and sunfish caught to count!), swimming and kayaking. You can’t beat the view and the cove is quiet and relaxing. The house has a great layout, is well stocked, and has lots for kids to do inside and out - we even caught the ice cream truck coming by one night! We loved our stay and would highly recommend to anyone coming into town for baseball.

Perfect Lake Home
Great owners and communications was perfect throughout. My son was in Cooperstown Baseball Tournament and home was perfect to keep my 14 yr old son busy. Fishing, swimming and other activities was super easy from this home on the water. They had all you needed. 5 Stars...Thank you for a great stay and we will be back. Bill and Antoinette.

Sanctuary
We were looking for a nice place to rest between games at All-Star Village but it was so much more than that. It was a sanctuary- the section of the lake is one of the most places I’ve ever been. I’d come back here (from California) just to stay at the house honestly.

Perfect Lake House!!!
We were in town while my son played at All Star Village and this home could not have been more perfect. A 15 minute drive to the fields and so many things for my other 2 kids to do when they weren’t watching baseball. The canoes and kayaks provided were awesome with a nice big yard for them to play in as well. We were able to relax and make meals at the house- it worked out perfectly for our family.
