Relax & commune with nature at our gorgeous 116.acre horse farm 10 min from Cooperstown, 20 min from Cooperstown Dreams Park. *Our lovely room accommodates a maximum of 2 guests. *SCROLL TO BOTTOM FOR CELL PHONE INFO!! Surrounded by green pastures, quiet mountains & grazing horses, this 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 and make yourself at home! The space Our farm is a beautiful, peaceful, shared space where Airbnb guests, horse boarding clients and your hosts alike wander the property and commune at the fire pit. (As our two guest rooms are side by side, we ask that guests observe quiet hours between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am for the comfort of all.) In your bright, airy bedroom you'll enjoy a comfy 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 we hope the small refrigerator, coffee maker, kettle and microwave 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 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! 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! ***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. Guest access While there is no access to a full kitchen, the room itself is equipped with a small microwave, dorm fridge, 5-cup coffee maker and kettle, as well as a dining table and chairs for your comfort and convenience. Guests are welcome to use the fire pit, outdoor tables and chairs, acres of walking trails through fields and forests, picnic table by the Cherry Valley Creek and any other outdoor areas apart from the enclosed horse pastures. Other things to note AT&T cell phone users will have good signal, but VERIZON CELL PHONE SERVICE CAN BE SPOTTY OR NON-EXISTENT! PLEASE BE PREPARED TO USE WIFI CALLING! If your cell phone provider uses Verizon towers you can connect to our Wi-Fi instead and easily utilize Wi-Fi calling and messaging. ** We can accommodate a maximum of 2 guests and are unable to make exceptions even for a night or two. NOTE: Our TV is Roku rather than cable but we have smart screens so that our guests are able to connect to any streaming services they may use!
