Otsego Lakefront for All Seasons!

This Quaint 3 bedroom, 2 bath Lakefront Cottage was built as a seasonal home in 1902. In 2019 it underwent a major renovation bringing it to modern day standards for year 'round use, while retaining its original charm.

This sweet home is perfect for a small family or couple seeking a summer lakeside vacation, or a romantic winter retreat. Wake up to gorgeous sunrises from your bedroom windows. Prepare a gourmet meal in the cozy kitchen, snuggle in by the warmth of the propane fireplaces in both the living room and master bedroom or carry your carafe of coffee to the point and watch the sun come up over the hills across the lake.

This lovely location offers the lake right outside your door! Swim from your dock or wade right in from the shore-line. (don't forget your water shoes!!) Bring your boat, if desired. Grill and Dine outside on the spacious deck or relax with your favorite beverage on the chaise lounge chairs by the water.

In the winter, ice-fish from your very own point! Bring your snow shoes, micro-spikes and XC skis for a brisk work-out on the frozen lake, or at nearby trails! Light a bonfire at the fire pit and if the lake isn't frozen, take a cold plunge! There are hundreds of miles of snow mobile trails just minutes from this location.

We are 6 miles north of the village of Cooperstown on the west side of Otsego Lake. The Baseball Hall of Fame is open 363 days of the year (closed Thanksgiving and Christmas Day), so be sure to visit while here!

There is a one car garage you are welcome to use. In the winter, the driveway is plowed, but you may need to shovel a path to your car.

There is a flatscreen Smart TV for streaming in the living room.

There is a large desk/work space for your use. Try not to be distracted by the lake view.

**Things to note:

1.This is an established residential area. The neighbors have enjoyed a peaceful life here for decades, and wish to continue. Parties, excess noise, disrespectful or disruptive behavior is not ok. We ask that you treat our home and our neighbors with respect.

2. There is a team of people assigned to this property to keep things in tip top shape. You may see the following people during your stay; lawn maintenance personnel, gardener, pest control specialist. They will all work efficiently so as not to be intrusive. However, we cannot schedule them around guest stays due to their demanding schedules.

3. We share one dock slip with a local diver and dock installer. They typically come one random day per week for their lake-related tasks, and they park in the driveway on the south side of the house. They are a terrific group of guys ~ if you see them during your stay, don't be alarmed, they harmless and wonderful.

4. The hot tub is not in operation.

Beautiful Fall getaway at a beautiful lake house
My wife and I (from Rochester, NY) met my brother and his wife (from northern Massachusetts) at this lake house for an annual get together. The property is immaculate. Beautiful decor, amenities, location, etc. etc. The owners provided a wonderful digital guidebook about the house and area. Clear instructions about the property and region. We could not be happier …

Wonderful Stay!
Terrific location, right on Lake Otsego. We did lots of paddlebaording and kayaking. The house has a beautiful back porch and it was lovely drinking our coffee and while watching the sun rise every morning! The house is just a short drive to town, it was perfect for a family summer getaway.

Great Lakefront Stay!
We had a really great stay at this Ostego lakefront home. The house was perfectly cozy with incredible views of the lake. Loved the updated kitchen and the really great deck. About a 10-15 minute drive to most attractions in Cooperstown. Road was a little busy, but other than that, perfect place. Would definitely book again.

Great Property & Host
An excellent choice if you want a water view while staying in Cooperstown and vicinity. The house was eclectic yet strategically updated with a modern kitchen and baths with a brass fixtures theme throughout the house. The house was equipped with everything we needed and can't imagine what could be lacking for anyone else. Main bedroom view is fantastic, as was our host Michele who was quick to respond to questions and most accommodating when we requested a late checkout. Would not hesitate to rent again!

Amazing home and location!
Our friends were looking for a great fall getaway location, and this property exceeded our expectations. The renovations provide a warm welcoming environment, while honoring the charm of days gone by. The property and water front are very well groomed, and the view is beyond expectations. The property managers were very communicative and ensured we understood the nuances of the upgrades like infloor heating which was lovely. And, the neighbor Keith was so helpful upon our arrival. A strong positive recommendation from our group!

Lying, lunatic, thief landlord
We booked this property for a baseball tournament. When the air quality was poor, we had the team over for pizza. I received 5 missed calls and an extremely rude and legally inaccurate text message threatening to call the police to have 12 year-olds removed with force because guests are not allowed at the property. No sane person would think the police would do this if they even bothered to respond. I called her back puzzled at the text. Her tone did not change and I calmly explained I didn't see that clause in the contract and I would have everyone leave within the hour. She said that wasn't good enough and I had 15 minutes or she was calling the police. Everyone left at an early and reasonable hour. There was also a rotting and dead animal carcass washed up on the rocks that clearly had been there for a long time. Now she is trying to steal my security deposit which I predicted even though no damages occurred to the property. Fortunately I videoed the entire property before I left to rebut her false claims. Bottom line is no sane business owner should treat guests the way I was treated. I was nothing but cordial towards her and should not have to be treated like and accused of being a criminal for the sin of having children over to eat pizza and swim. Save your money. There are way better options out there.

Dream house
Gorgeous clean cozy house with modern amenities and a really well stocked kitchen. I had to change our dates twice (COVID sucks) and the property manager was incredibly kind and accommodating. Not really close to Cooperstown proper so don’t plan a quick trip to the baseball museum or grocery store. If you are looking for a quiet place to enjoy beautiful views this is it.

Winter getaway
House was wonderful and as described. Great kitchen with everything you will need. Utilized outside gas grill and the hot tub many times during our cold winter stay. All communication was quick and seamless. Use of the garage was huge plus during winter weather. Beautiful location on lake with amazing views and close proximity to downtown Cooperstown for shopping, dining, baseball HoF.

Wonderful Relaxing Place to Stay
We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The views are gorgeous. The kitchen is very well appointed with everything you could need. They did a very good job when they remodeled the house. A major snow storm was forecast the evening we were due to arrive, and both the owner and property manager reached out to us to make sure we arrived safely and had no issues. This was by far the best communication experience I've had using VRBO. We didn't want to leave at the end of our stay and would absolutely stay here again!
