About this property

StarField Cottage...The Perfect Cooperstown Dreams Park Getaway!

Located a short 8 minute drive from the famous Cooperstown Dreams Park, home of the world famous12-year old baseball tournaments.

Nestled at the foot of over 1000 acres of wooded hiking trails only 7 miles from Cooperstown Dreams Park & Brewery Ommegang and just 2.7 miles from the heart of Cooperstown is a charming 2-bedroom cottage, perfect for a family vacation or romantic getaway. Hike our logging road trail to emerge at Star Field overlooking the pristine beauty of Lake Otsego. Enjoy a glass of wine as you lounge on the cozy front porch or gather round the hearth of our hand-built stone fireplace in the spacious living room.

Star Field Cottage can accommodate up to 7 guests (up to 3 couples or a family of 6 and up to 2 well behaved and house trained dogs!) and is beautifully appointed with many amenities, including some local treats like fresh coffee roasted right here in town at StageCoach Coffee and some of the best selections of beer from our very own world renowned Brewery Ommegang! There is a huge glassed in porch for dining as well as an outdoor area for your BBQing pleasures. Our property has a logging road that takes you to the top of the mountain with breathtaking views of Lake Otsego and access to the many trails that will take you all over the mountain or into downtown Cooperstown.

The Star Field Cottage is attached to our 1820's farmhouse, but entirely private including a separate entrance and it's own paved driveway and beautiful front yard with stone wall, wildflower garden, aromatic lilacs and views of the enchanted forest.

Easily accessible to Clark's Sports Center which is a State of the Art fitness center, gymnasium & site of the Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Only 4 minute drive from downtown attractions including many great restaurants...Farmers Museum, Glimmerglass Opera House, Fenimore House Museum and National Baseball Hall of Fame. Historic Cherry Valley is only 7 miles north and also offers a variety of restaurants and arts programs.

Cooperstown is loaded with many other attractions than just the Baseball Hall of Fame. There are several other museums (Farmers Museum and Fenimore House) and also many restaurants to choose from. Outdoor activities are in abundance on and around Lake Otsego including boating, kayaking, swimming , hiking and biking. There two golf courses on the lake and both are unique and challenging for both beginners and experts.

I plan to be home most every week this year, so we would love to meet you and help ensure that you get to see and do all the great things that we locals know are fun and worthwhile. Please feel free to inquire if you have any questions! Scott

Great Getaway

We always wanted to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame - the cottage is a short ride and very close to Cooperstown so ideal location for us. Scott and his friendly pup Shoog greeted us, and Scott was very helpful and responsive to our questions. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, and the nearby restaurants were terrific. We had a very nice stay and enjoyed beautiful weather and fall colors!

New to Cooperstown

We had a wonderful time exploring the Baseball Hall of Fame. I would like to return and take advantage of other sites in Cooperstown and beautiful Otsego Lake. Our stay in StarField Cottage was terrific! Scott and Shoog (his dog) were welcoming and extremely friendly, and we appreciated the fact that our dog was also welcome. Although the cottage is attached to the main house, we had all the privacy we needed. The kitchen is well stocked, we lacked for nothing. Everything in the cottage was extremely clean. The setting is beautiful -- although we didn't have cell phone service until we went into Cooperstown. Not a problem, just some friends and family couldn't get in touch with us. We hope to meet up with Scott and Shoog again!

Weeklong stay

We had almost no hot water in the shower the whole time we were there he did come to look at it and put a new filter in but it really didn't change much. I told him we were bringing my adult daughter and her school canine dog we have never been charged for her before we paid him cash on the property. Dogs are allowed there No fire pit no outside chairs no table that 4 people could set around the screened in porch either had windows that didn't open glass broke or holes in the screen. That would be the only place you would be able to sit and eat or play games.The picture must of been years ago we could not sit out there because of the condition of the windows . It was very hot in there we got one towel set for each person so I had to wash everyday. There is no place really to let the dog out just a spot weed whacked around the picnic table the house is just a few yards from a busy hwy. the beds were comfy but no door on the big bedroom or a privacy screen to change behind.

Great location and host

We stayed at the cottage on our first trip to Cooperstown. It is well located with all the sites within a short drive. We enjoyed a hike up to star field with our dog (bonus that the cottage allows dogs). Scott was a great host - checking in to ensure we were settling in well and we enjoyed an afternoon with Scott on the lake. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy the cottage and area again.

What a perfect spot.

The house was just what we wanted. Close to town, walk out the door and start hiking, and of course Shoog the friendliest dog you will ever meet. Our own kids both two legged and four, had a blast. Scott was so attentive and helpful every second we were there while still giving us plenty of space. Would rent again in a heartbeat.

Cute and Cozy!!

My family had a wonderful time here while in Cooperstown for baseball. Very comfortable, and private home. Quick drive to CDP for games. Scott, our host, was so welcoming. He is very responsive and is nearby, should you need any assistance. His pup, Shug, is a gentle giant, who guided my kiddos on a hike up the mountain. Shug was a great bonus to our stay! Would definitely book here again!!

Cozy cabin with hiking trails behind

Rustic cottage with modern amenities and great hiking trails behind the property. We spent a long weekend and enjoyed the convenience of being close to Cooperstown (just a few minutes by car) but in an area with open space and hiking for our dog. The screened porch was a great place to relax for coffee or cocktails. The main bedroom upstairs is like a loft and does not afford privacy from the other bedroom. Not an issue for us but that might not be clear from the description. Scott, the host, lives in the attached house and was a friendly, gracious host.

Comfortable and Relaxing

Everything was very nice and Scott (the owner) remained in touch during our stay and was very accommodating (he said we were welcome to stay later than our 10am check-out time since no other guests were expected that day). Shoog, his dog, is GINORMOUS but friendly, and came to welcome us. Only issue I had - and this was my fault for not asking ahead of time - was the bathroom was on main floor and the bedroom was at the top of steep stairs. Since I have arthritic knees and regularly wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, that was a problem for me. But otherwise, everything else was fine. I especially enjoyed spending time in the screened in porch. Very peaceful (though I wish the house was farther away from the main road).

Cozy Cottage

The property was everything we hoped it would be! When we arrived, Scott's dog, Shoog, was right at the fence happily wagging his tail to greet us. Scott came outside, gave us the rundown on the property as well as the various hiking trails and made himself readily available to help with any questions we had. Dinner in Cooperstown was fabulous each night (pay attention to Scott's recommendations, he was right on!) and the hiking trails on property led to stunning views and some fun "surprises" cleverly placed along the way. We even got to take Shoog with us! Each night ended with drinks by a cozy fire that could not be beat! Overall, we recommend this place wholeheartedly for a quiet, comfortable, friendly stay. thank you AGAIN, Scott and Shoog!

Being a local means i know ALL of the good restaurants and best kept secrets of the area, and i am ready and willing to share them with my guests!

Why they chose this property
