About this property

Amy's Schoolhouse --6 bedroom, minutes to Dreams Park and Cooperstown Center

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!

Great house for a friends getaway

This house is perfectly located for a trip to the Cooperstown area. Additionally, there are a lot of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate a good sized group. The common areas, including the game room lend themselves really well to hanging out with friends. I highly recommend this house. Last note, the owner was very responsive to any questions we had, both leading up to and during our stay.

Great way to celebrate

Location was perfect. The house was super clean and Darcey was a host very easy to communicate with. There was something for everyone in the game room. My only recommendation would be to get some firewood prior to your first night. We went to dinner and many stores close early. So we didn’t get firewood till the next morning . Highly recommend staying here for your family vacation!

Great for Cooperstown Dreams Park

Overall this is a great property for anyone traveling out to Cooperstown. Lovely property on a quiet street. Close to Cooperstown and Cooperstown Dreams Park. Both adults and kids enjoyed their time in this charming home. The game room/garage was great for the kids. Communication with owners was prompt and friendly. Would certainly stay here again if back in the area!

Back to School

We all got something different and fantastic from our experience here. The kids loved the chalkboards, retro desk, pencil sharpener, water fountain. Demerits all around--just because. Detention, too! For me, it was a cafe with beautiful classical music filling the walls surrounded with plenty of comfortable seating to read a book and listen to people chatting. For 3 of our families, it was a party from 1985. They filled that garage with oldies party songs/singing that had everyone laughing. They met in the evenings for darts, pool, and ping pong. Then, there was the kitchen. We had a couple of cooks in our group. The kitchen had everything we needed to share many meals--crock pot, pots and pans, dishes, and both Keurig and coffee pot. We picked up pork and beef from the local butcher. Pork slow cooked in the crock pot for bbq, beef for taco night, cold cuts and rolls from Price Chopper for hoagies, and a delicious breakfast everyday. Seems like the owners thought of everything when they setup this house. Our beds (we stayed on the main floor) were comfortable and we slept great. The other families said their spaces were comfortable as well. The extra blankets were perfect. The indoor temperature was easily regulated. Plenty of towels. Washer and dryer worked great. It all worked out perfectly. We'd definitely stay here again! Thank you so much for sharing your place with us.

Super stay

From the start the hosts were extremely attentive, helpful and fun. The inn is just like it is pictured, clean, well appointed, comfortable and cozy. All rooms were spot on. The kitchen is modern and well stocked. Had a great time in the big play room... easy fun. It is so close to downtown Cooperstown with great restaurants and the baseball Hall of Fame! Food stores are only a couple of minutes away - the location is great. Then there is my fav.... the outdoor shower > the water is so warm... so relaxing. Can't wait to visit again. You'll love it here! Thank you!!

Perfect Fall Getaway!

We stayed at Amy’s School House with our 3 children to visit Coopersotwn in the Fall—the area was beautiful this time of year and the house is just a few minutes from town! The home was just as described, with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Beds were comfortable and each room had its own ROKU TV for you to sign in on your own streaming accounts. The house was very clean and had everything we needed, including starter supplies of soap, shampoo/conditioner, paper products, ect. We were able to grill out on the large deck and the kitchen was well stocked with anything you would need to prepare all your meals at home. The biggest hit was the game room which offered a nice space for the kids to entertain themselves and for the adults to have some fun too! The house was so charming and unique- just what we were looking for! Darcey stayed in touch with details for check in/check out and was easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting a family friendly home in Cooperstown!

Such a clean cozy comfy place

We can’t wait to spend more time here with even more family. The location is perfect the autumn colors were beautifully surrounding this clean and spacious home. Loved the kitchen plenty of space to make great meals and serve in the large dining room. The game room had lots of activities and was fun to watch everyone have a good time. I highly recommend this historically charming home for any occasion.

House had lots of space. Beds comfortable and kitchen well equipped. Loved the school house theme. Land was amazing. Garage made for a fun time for football and games. Although couldn’t find the darts. Wish it was easier to get an Uber to down town. Luckily we have some in the group that do not drink alcohol. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Darcy for going out of your way to help us with our item that we left behind.

Family Trip for Graduation May 2023

The property was just as described. The house was clean and we had plenty of room for our extended family of 7 adults. As some reviews said two of the showers are very small and you have to step up into them. It wouldn't keep me from staying there again though as there was plenty of hot water and you do get used to them. The only negatives I would have are that we did have to buy garbage bags and dishwasher soap. We ate breakfast everyday at the house and some lunches so we did have to run the dishwasher more than once and there wasn't any soap and only 2 trash bags available.

We were a group of retired teachers who loved the quaint school house and the closeness to sites

We didn’t use the game room as it was not heated and weather was cool and rainy. Could see that would be lots of fun for teenagers especially! Not only enjoyed the HOF, shops, but Hyde hall tour, fly creek mill and glimmer glass park
