Exit the house to the rear and gain access to the grilling area, fire pit, and large lawn. Relax with a book or play lawn games in the shaded backyard. Enjoy dinner or play a board game in the spacious screened porch. Walk down the shaded lane to take a swim in Otsego lake.
The Space:
Inside you will find everything you need for a perfect getaway! You'll enter through the screened porch to a bright and spacious living room. The open floor plan includes dining space, a coffee bar and microware area, and a well appointed kitchen for those who like to cook. The roomy tiled shower feels heavenly after a day out and about. The two cozy bedrooms feature a queen bed and a twin bunk bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep for up to four guests (pack-n-play available upon request). A large wrap-around porch adds to the living space as well.

History:
This amazing building was originally built as a dance pavilion. In 1924 it was purchased by William C. Smalley, who operated Smalley’s Theatre and several other dance halls around Cooperstown. In the 1930's it was converted to a two-cottage family camp. Recent renovations included a complete overhaul of the interior, including restoration of the original dance floor!
Did you know? Six Mile Point (aka Hickory Grove Point) was described by James Fenimore Cooper in his novel The Deerslayer. The area is described in a scene where Natty Bumpo hid from the Hurons that chased him.
Amenities/Technology:
Each guest receives a personalized access code four the smart lock system, and outdoor cameras provide ultimate security. A window heat pump dual heat-A/C unit is installed in the main living area, and is usually more than sufficient to heat and/or cool the entire indoor living space. The living room has a large L-shaped couch and a 65 inch smart TV with Roku. You can stream using Netflix, Hulu, etc. (bring your log in/password info!) With high speed Wi-Fi you can stay connected while enjoying the serene surroundings. The home is also outfitted with USB outlets for device charging, and a wireless charging station is located in the main bedroom. The bathroom fan is equipped with an automatic humidity sensor. A laundry area on the porch has a high-capacity clothes washer and dryer available for guest use.
Nature:
The house is located in a natural area with lots of wildlife (ducks, geese, whitetail deer, chipmunks, etc.). Insects and spiders are in the area as well, and we do not spray the property with insecticide.
Lake Access:
Our deeded access to Otsego Lake is just a short walk down the hill. You may only use the point for entering and exiting the lake. The beach may not be used for any other purpose. This means you can swim, but fishing and picnicking are not permitted.
