Great place for Dreams Park games

This house is in a perfect spot for Dreams Park stays. It is about a 10 min drive but far enough to enjoy some peace and quiet. There is plenty of open space for and kids to get outside and play. We sat on porch every morning and evening and watched dear eat in open field. The house is just as described in listing and it was very clean upon our check in. Ms Mary was very helpful starting at check in right through check out. If we ever get a chance to return we would definitely try and stay here.

Peaceful stay on a great property

I took my dad, brother, and son for a long weekend to visit Cooperstown and the Hall of Fame. The house is a short drive to Cooperstown and the property is beautiful. We loved the horseshoes, the cornhole, the view, and the stargazing. The house met all of our needs, and if there were any questions or requests, Mary (living nearby) was always available to assist us.

Beautiful View / Well Stocked Kitchen

I was traveling with my family for my oldest son's tournament at Cooperstown Dreams Park. My other kids are 9 months, 2 and 4-years-old. The host and owner were very welcoming and kind throughout our stay. They let my kids go up to the farm and see the animals. The views from the house are beautiful. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped with cooking essentials and high quality pots, pans, etc. I would just recommend more cleaning supplies such as all-purpose spray to clean counter tops and table. Having the washer and dryer was great but we had to buy our own laundry detergent, it would be nice to have that available, especially with grocery stores being a bit of a drive. As well as having a few basic toiletry items such as shampoo, conditioner and body soap would be nice. We stayed in the New England area the second half of our trip and the other house had those essentials plus lotion, Q-tips, etc. Just make sure you bring your own because every rental is different. A few things to note, there's no cell service at the house but there is a landline and wifi. We missed not being able to text our son when we weren't at the park - just plan ahead and download a web-based app. Also, the wood floors are pretty loud and squeaky so a few us were woken up when someone was walking throughout the house. The creek shown in the pictures was not accessible. They may want to remove those photos from the listing. Other than those small details, it was a great stay. Our kids loved the fire pit, watching the deer and running around on the grass.

Magical farm getaway

Not only was this property a total gem, it was the hosts that made our stay even more spectacular. They all made us feel super welcome and at home, and were also very quick to get back to us with every question and need we had. Special shout out to Mary who made our stay unforgettable. You need to buy farm fresh eggs for her too! This property is so fun and unique I can’t wait to come back and visit from Cali. Thank you Mary!!!

Perfect for your Cooperstown Baseball Experience

Paired up with another baseball family from our son's teams , we just recently wrapped up our 2 week trip to Cooperstown Dreams Park and this property became our home away from home. Only 12 minutes from the park it was easy to travel back and forth in between scheduled games to grab a quick lunch, catch a nap, or take a break from the sun in the cool A/C. Everything you needed was just minutes away --- grocery stores, bars and restaurants, main street Cooperstown, The Lake. Such a relaxing atmosphere, the front porch was great for those early morning coffees or late night beers. What a view. We took full advantage of the BBQ grill, enjoyed the camp fire pit, and the kiddos loved the yard games. Inside there was plenty of room for all of us (4 adults, 4 kids) to eat, sleep, and have our own space. The open floor concept for the kitchen, dining, and living room really made the house and the 2 full bathrooms were clutch to help everybody get ready for the games. We cannot recommend this place enough for your stay especially for your baseball journey.

July 4 in Cooperstown

To start the owner is the absolute best. When we arrived everything was as advertised. The views from porch were amazing. Nice open layout inside. One perk was her sister who also lives on farm is super nice and has fresh eggs. We truly enjoyed the stay. Only took about 10 minutes maybe to get to park.

Super clean and we felt at home. Owner’s sister lives next door and has fresh eggs for sale. Great family. We didn’t want to leave.

Excellent vacation rental

The guest house was clean & comfortable. There were 7 of us and the layout worked out beautifully. The setting was lovely. We enjoyed watching the deer in the hay fields and the rabbits hopping in the lawn by the house. We also enjoyed walking the trails on the property down to the creeks and talking with the owners and their parents. Gary made our son a "lucky horseshoe" for Cooperstown -- a highlight for his time at Dreamspark.

Wonderful choice for our week in Coopersrtown

We were VERY pleased with our rental! From the location, the amenities provided by the owners, the cleanliness, and especially Gary and Theresa! They provided us excellent hospitality, were always an easy phone call away, but also provided us complete privacy to enjoy their home! I also have to mention the bonus we enjoyed nightly...the view of grazing deer in the large front yard area!! What a relaxing, peaceful way to end some long days at the ball park! When our younger son also makes this trip, hopefully, we will definitely be back to this exact rental! Thanks so much!!!

We had a great week at the GT Summerhouse! Thanks, Theresa and Gary!

Our family stayed at GT Summerhouse while our son played baseball at Dreams Park. This house is new (about 5 yrs old), spacious, and was very, very clean! The layout is terrific because there are two bedrooms with Queen beds on one side with a full bath and there's another larger bedroom (Queen bed and 2 Singles) with another full bath that has a washer/dryer on the other side. The kitchen is big, new, and fully equipped. There is WiFi access at the house and free long distance calling. It's conveniently located right between Dreams Park and Downtown Cooperstown about an 8- 10 min drive to each. We enjoyed badmitton, volleyball, walks around the property, and making S'mores in the fire pit! There is lots of land to explore! Theresa and Gary are very friendly, helpful, and responsive hosts. On our way out, we stopped to see bats being turned at the Cooperstown Bat Co. in Hartwick which is about 1 mile from the house. We highly recommend this house for your stay in Cooperstown!

Perfect for Cooperstown Baseball Families

We stayed at GT Summerhouse with another family for our sons' Cooperstown baseball week. We had four adults and six kids (ages 5 - 10) with us. This house was very clean and had a great floor plan to accommodate all of us very comfortably (even when our two players joined us on the last night). Our goal when looking for a house was to find a place that our six "non-players" could have a great time when we weren't at the park. Well, this house was everything we expected and more. There is a huge field for the kids to run and play, including volleyball net, sports equipment, etc. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed the 'swimming hole,' which was a hop, skip, and jump from the house, and where they spent most of their time both fishing and swimming. The nature 'hike' to the creek was fun for all too. Theresa and Gary are very welcoming and accommodating. And the best part, the park really was only 10 minutes away from the house! We hope to return to GT Summerhouse in two years when our next set of players are twelve!

A Terrific Spot!

We recently held a guys weekend at the G T Summerhouse. What a great venue for this! The house was spotless and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep. The property itself was incredible -- lots of room for us to throw the baseball/football/frisbee around and hit pop flies. We also really enjoyed exploring the hills and the creek. Theresa and Gary were incredibly welcoming and very helpful in making this a memorable trip. A really fantastic experience.

A GREAT home away from home!

Looking for a place to stay while our grandson played at a Cooperstown tournament, we found the GT Summer house - and what a find! Quaint, exceptionally clean, beautiful area and lovely, hospitalble hosts, this was the perfect home away from home for our family. The grandsons and nephew LOVED the outdoors and fishing stream - we loved the privacy, quiet and views. All the comforts we like with thoughtful consideration including very comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen and additional entertainment items for the boyz - fishing poles, sports equipment, horseshoes, and a great fire-pit! Gary and Theresa are so warm, helpful and considerate --- they loved showing our 'city boys' things around the farm and shared wonderful veggies from their garden which we eagerly enjoyed. If you are looking for a special place, immaculate and well-cared for, grab this wonderful home and location first --- the pictures just don't do it justice. Highly recommend this great place!

Perfect!

GT Summerhouse is perfect if you are looking for a country getaway, baseball hall of fame location, or are participating in the Dreams Park Baseball tournament. The new house comfortably sleeps 8 and compared to houses our friends rented it is not cluttered with full time resident items. Owners Theresa and Gary are great, before you visit or while on property have them make a "lucky horseshoe" for your Dreams Park team! We had one made for our team and the boys won the skills competition and finished 7th overall in the tournament. They had fun and touched the "lucky horseshoe" before every game... it works! One more bonus... the Cooperstown Bat Company factory is 1.5mi away and you can visit to watch them make wood bats, very cool and a hidden non-tourist spot in the small town of Hartwick. You can't go wrong with GT Summerhouse, we will be back in 2-years for the 12u tournament!

WHat a "GEM"

What an absolute gem of a place. Gary and Theresa feel more like family then someone just renting a place. Very very clean and spacious house and wonderful yard - fire pit included. Very close to Cooperstown and Dreams Park. I would not hesitate to suggest this house to anyone looking to stay in Cooperstown.

Why they chose this property

With our children grown, busy having children of their own, in 2008, we decided to build GT Summer House, we wanted to share with others the beautiful farm where I grew up.
You can't beat the summers in up-state NY and the fall foliage is fantastic. We welcome everyone to experence the beauty of this very special place.
