Amy's Schoolhouse
Located less than 4 miles to the Dreams Park and 5 minutes to Cooperstown. Excellent rental for Dreams Park, events at The Otesaga, and anyone looking to experience our charming small town. This 6 bedroom, 3 bath home sits on a 1 acre yard backed up by a lightly wooded area. Of note the large ceiling fan and pellet stove in the living room are not operational at this time.
The original part of the house was a 1-room schoolhouse built in the 1800's. This home now features an open floor concept that marries vintage details with modern amenities. There are original hardwood floors (ground level), blackboards, light fixtures, a working water fountain and a claw foot tub, which all add to the character of this space. The downstairs has 15ft ceilings which make the space feel grand.
Upon entry, the open living/dining is immediately to your left. The Livingroom features a large flat-screen TV, sectional sofa and queen pull-out couch. A farmhouse table seats 8-10, plus outdoor seating available in warmer weather.
On the first floor there are 2 bedrooms off the living/dining - 1 with a king and one with a double bed (size up from twin). A bathroom off the hallway has a clawfoot tub with shower converter.
On the second floor, there are four bedrooms. One king bedroom with a small (single) futon and en-suite bathroom with stand-up shower. There are also 2 queen bedrooms, and a double (slightly larger than twin) bedroom. There is a 2nd floor bath off the hallway with a stand-up shower. An outdoor shower is also available seasonally.
Please note that the two double rooms technically accommodate two individuals, but are more suitable for a single adult.
For family fun and entertainment, there is a game room in a separate 840 square foot building, complete with lounge area, TV/DVD player, pool table, ping pong, Foosball, air hockey and basketball.
There is an extensive ground-level deck area with gas grill, picnic table and seating area. Also available seasonally and in compliance with local burn laws, is a solo stove and Adirondack seating. Please note the Gameroom is not heated and in the winter outdoor furniture/firepit are placed in storage. The Gameroom does not have heat or AC.
Maximum property occupancy is 12--we do not allow any parties or events to be held. Please note this is *strictly enforced*.
We (owners) are just down the road and readily available of needed!
