A little bit about the Deer Ridge Lodge

We loved the roominess of the property - lots of space to spread out. The kitchen was very accomodating, as were the decks. The view of the lake was spectacular.

Beautiful Property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Deer ridge. The house and yard was very private and cozy. We were close enough to town to but far enough away to enjoy the quiet & relaxing view. We did have a visit from some deer one morning. We would definitely book this house again next time we visit Cooperstown.

Another Great Stay

We've now stayed at this location for a few years. Great location & easy lake access. House is large, comfortable, & clean. The only downside this year was the presence of ants in the kitchen areas. This is being addressed by the owner thru the use of a pest control service.

Beautiful Lakefront Home

Really enjoyed staying at this property during a Cooperstown week for my son. House was fully stocked with all that you could want. The drive to the fields was approx 12-15 min, which was manageable. We spent many hours fishing off of there dock and small little beach area. Would stay again if the occasion arose.

Long weekend retreat

Beautiful house with views of the lake. Spacious rooms in great condition, the dining room and deck are lovely locations to watch boats/water. The staircase leading upstairs is steep, so if anyone has difficulty climbing stairs it could be an issue. Also, the dock for the lake is located across the street so be cautious with children. The only issue I had was with the huge list of must/must not do's - I realize it's a rental so you have to be over cautious but some of the items are laughable.

Excellent location & view

This was our first trip to Otsego Lake & the Cooperstown area. This house was very well stocked with everything needed, & then some. As one other reviewer noted, all you need to bring are your clothes & food. Also, the house was very, very clean. The view of the lake from the breakfast & dining room areas was wonderful. The two kayaks & one canoe were a great bonus. The area down by the water, however, needs to be upgraded. There is little room to walk, and a lot of rusty metal. This was understood to be the case before we booked, since the owner was quite thorough in his description of the property. Any questions we had were quickly answered. We would definitely book this property again in the future.

Charming and spacious lake side home!

Recently concluded our dad's only trip to Cooperstown to take in the holiday weekend Hall of Fame festivities and a concert at Ommegang brewery. The location of this property is fantastic as it's very close to the village of Cooperstown (4 miles) and it's situated on a hillside across the street from the lake so you have an awesome view. The house is very spacious, clean and updated. We especially enjoyed the kitchen area with adjacent dining room for view of the lake. There's also a huge flat screen TV and very comfortable couch in the front living room area. The Wi-Fi is very good as well, all 4 of us could stream & surf the web with ease as there was plenty of bandwidth to go around. The owner of the property was very nice and easy to contact via the VRBO app. We would definitely come back to this property in the future and may even bring our wives and children!

Great mini vacation in Cooperstown

My family and I stayed at the Deer Ridge Lodge in Cooperstown, NY for 2 days to see the Baseball Hall of Fame and other sites in Cooperstown. The house was a perfect fit for the 6 of us. The kitchen is big and clean and has everything you need. The living room is huge with a very comfortable sectional and large television. The house sits on a hill and you need to cross the street to get to the lake (only drawback - be careful crossing the street if you have small children). If it was nicer weather, we would've enjoyed going out on the lake in the complimentary kayaks and canoe. The house is very close to the downtown area, only a few miles drive. We visited the area out of season which is anytime after Labor Day but we enjoyed going to the Hall of Fame, Cooperstown Distillery, Ommegang Brewery and a few good restaurants before leaving the area. I recommend the house if your family is looking for a nice, cozy place to stay that's close to everything.

Spacious, comfortable house in Cooperstown, on Ostego Lake, near Dreams Park fields

We were in Cooperstown for the Dreams park Tournament and decided to rent a house instead of booking a hotel room. In hindsight, we are so grateful we did and this property was perfect for us! We were able to make meals before, during and after baseball games, and we were happy to come back after a long day at the ballpark to the comfortable and open spacious outlay of a house (instead of a small, crowded hotel room). Overall, the house was much larger than expected (!!) - with a good sized kitchen, a dining area overlooking the lake, a dinning room (that we never used) and 3 large family/sitting rooms for 'hanging out. The were 3 bedrooms (2 with double beds, 1 with 2 twin beds) that were not so big, but were fine as we only spent time there sleeping. The house is across the street from the lake, but the house has a small private dock that we used for fishing and swimming. We also used the provided 2 kayaks and canoe. Two full bathrooms and laundry were available. Our only 'complaint' is that we wish the water pressure in the showers had been a little bit stronger. Overall, the house as kept neat and clean, and we enjoyed the use of a BBQ for dinner one night. The house is conveniently located about 10 minutes to downtown Cooperstown, and ~15 minutes to Dreams Park (I do not know the distance to the All Stars park). The owner was very easy to deal with - he answer all questions before our visit. I highly recommend renting a house if you are in town for a Cooperstown tournament - and I highly recommend THIS house.

Excellent place to stay

This was our 2nd time staying at the house (we had previously stayed August 2020). Once again, the house was very clean, and very well stocked with everything needed. The newly added deck, and new spacious dock, really made the place especially enjoyable. I'm sure we'll be looking to rent again next year!

Just what the dr ordered

The booking, communication, and access process was easy, direct, and efficient. The house had great upgrades to the outdoor space that we were not aware of. Our weather was rainy and cool so we visited the town and utilized the inside of the house. Our stay was great and we would consider returning again.

Great Getaway

As a first time Vrbo renter, I wasn’t sure how this would go but the information on this property was very accurate. The owner was super responsive and helpful, a pleasure to work with. This house is fully stocked so you only need to pack your clothes and bring some food and you are good to go. Big grill was great. Very close to town and lots to do in the area off the lake. Baseball Hall of Fame, Glimmer Glass State Park, wineries, breweries, hiking, shopping and the list goes on. Everyone enjoyed the 2 kayaks and canoe at the house (we appreciated the many size life vests provided at the house) and large yard where we were able to set up our own yard games. The lake is beautiful and you can see it from all the front rooms of the house and the deck. The home was very clean and well kept with comfy beds, sofas, etc. I would warn those with small children that this might not be the property for them as there are fairly steep stairs to the lakefront and you do have to cross the road. However, our young teens and adults had no issues with this. This was a very last minute trip and I have to say a wonderful experience. We will definitely be looking to return to this house again. As someone who is used to a summer beach vacation, this was much more relaxing and the prefect Covid safe choice. I would recommend this property to my friends and you.

Beautiful Lake view

There is a gorgeous panoramic view of Otsego Lake from the breakfast room. Even with no central air (there are window units in the bedrooms upstairs), we were comfortable on the main floor with lake breezes and ceiling fans even on a 90 degree day. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. We really enjoyed exploring the streets of quaint downtown Cooperstown, which is a very short drive away.

Why they chose this property

We use this property ourselves in the off-season and rent it to cover costs. Any income above cost we invest back in the property. This is not a cash making business like all the rentals in the Cooperstown area and we price our rental at break-even.
