Summary: Had a wonderful stay for my son's Cooperstown baseball week. . It was really nice to come home to such a peaceful and comfortable place, after a full day of craziness at the all star village. John was a very helpful and attentive host. He was very accommodating when we showed up earlier than expected on check in day. He had everything organized and ready for our stay. No cell service, but wi-fi worked perfectly. Thank you John!

Summary: John's home was lovely! We were two couples and stayed comfortably. It was fun to see all of John's mementos from travels in the home, and the kitchen was well set-up for our simple meals.

Summary: Our second stay at " Writer's Retreat " was even better than the first one. This charming place helps to recharge your batteries very fast. Situated far enough from other properties this home makes you feel truly immersed with nature. Bird watching from the porch became our daily thing. Deer are also frequent visitors drawn to the whispering creek steps away from the house. The home itself has a beautiful soul , lots of books, plenty of great music (CD's) and above all no TV. To stay in touch with the outside world Wi-Fi works great, landline telephone is there if needed. If you value organic produce, Franklin Farmer's Market is the place to visit. ( Sundays) Communication with the owner was quick and very pleasant. Thank you John for making our stay at your lovely home such relaxing experience. Cezary and Magda

Summary: John's place is magical, snuggly nestled into nature, the rare home that's both cosy and spacious. The decoration is thoughtful, the kitchen fully stocked with good cookware, the bedroom light and airy, even the bath/ shower are great. The photos don't give you an adequate sense of the house, but the real treats are the backyard and the sublime slate seating overlooking the brook. We looked through a lot of uninspiring places on here, so glad to have found this quiet and charming retreat!

Summary: We loved out stay at this idyllic getaway house. The house was very charming and filled with interesting books and music to peruse. The surrounding lawn, brook and seating areas were so peaceful and relaxing. Only visitors were the deer passing through. It was a great location to get away from it all, but also only a 25 minute drive into Oneonta, and about 30 mins to great hiking and kayaking spots. We loved our stay and hope to return again! Thank you for a lovely home John and for sharing details on the house early on in communication.

Summary: Perfect for artist, writer,someone needing to get away. We were there for baseball at Cooperstown all star Village to watch grandsons games, some 3 a day so it was a ittle too far away to run back and forth, so just slept and showered there,That said, it was great when we could relax and have a glass of wine by the brook.

Christopher R. Jul 10, 2019 11:38:54 PM

Summary: The house is very efficient and nicely situated. John is very easygoing as a property owner and we quickly felt at home. Part of it is due to the huge amount of books and cd's that he has in his house. (I caught up on my Carl Sandburg.) All in all, an extremely comfortable break from our urban bustle. Everything you need is there. Thank you, John!

Summary: Clean, welcoming, more than we could have hoped for. Not to be missed if one is going to stay in that area.

Jodi R. Jul 27, 2018 02:51:31 AM

Summary: We had a wonderful week! The house is so welcoming and they have everything you need! We enjoyed the peace and quiet as well as the gorgeous scenery. The brook and outdoor seating area is magical.

Summary: How easy it is to find a peaceful place with unique personality and in harmony with it’s natural surroundings? That’s what I and my wife were looking for. And we found it. Quiet weekend home “over the hill and far away”, yet close enough to the nearest village. The only visitors we had were two rabbits, couple of robins building their nest, one wild turkey and one cool porcupine interested mostly in fresh water from the brook steps away. This lovely property with it’s red house makes you feel home right away. It is well taken care of, clean and inviting. The house itself is well organized and functional, tastefully decorated, filled with wide variety of books and music. You’ll certainly not miss your TV set... The owner of the property created interesting harmony between the outer environment and inner character of the house which makes this home easy to remember. All in pleasant colors and tones. All in harmony with nature. Highly recommended!
