Experience a delightful retreat at this beautifully decorated cabin, where guests revel in the immaculate cleanliness, fully equipped kitchen, and serene surroundings that truly feel like a home away from home. With exceptional hospitality from a caring host and cozy accommodations, every stay promises comfort, warmth, and the perfect escape into nature.

Our stay here was INCREDIBLE! Miriam saved the day for us that her beautiful home was available. And when I say beautiful I mean it! The house was pristine. The grounds were incredible. The amenities provided were perfect. The little treats left for us were very welcomed and appreciated. The beds were so beyond comfortable. Everyone in our party commented on how well they slept while they were there. We were there for our sons Cooperstown week at Dreams Park. It was about a 25 minute drive but worth it as the house was perfect and exactly what our family needed. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking to stay. We hope to come back for our friends Cooperstown week or even just a get away!

A family trip to Cooperstown is what brought us to this home. From the moment we walked into the front door we knew  that we made the correct decision. The home was beautiful. Everything so clean and newly updated, there were comments made like I wish we were staying here longer. The house had everything you could want. Strong Wifi, beds were comfortable, bathrooms pristine. Only about 20 minute ride to hall of fame museum. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

Very cool property, fun to walk around. The cabin was cozy. Over all a great stay!

Miriam’s place was a great place to call home while visiting the area for a festival. Comfy beds. Great living spaces. Fully equipped kitchen. When we accidentally left a few items in the dryer, she was super easy to work with to make sure that they got back to their owner. Definitely would recommend if you need a place to lay your head down while visiting the area.
