This lake house is wonderful and Cooperstown is a great experience. We went for our son’s baseball tournament. And we enjoyed every minute of staying in this house. It is very clean and spacious. It was the most well stocked rental we have ever stayed in. The lake was amazing and the kids loved the floating trampoline and the fooseball table. Our family loved it and we would definitely stay there again.

Hi Deanna and thanks for the wonderful review. There’s not a better place in central N.Y. to enjoy a warm summer day than on our beach! And we’re very glad your family had such a great time! Be well, Liz and Bill

LakePointe provides everything you need for a wonderful family vacation in a beautiful and private setting. Our stay was relaxing and restorative. So well appointed and immaculately clean you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door. As two adults with 4 college-age kids (yes there is wifi) there is something for everyone - golf, museums, hiking, swimming and fishing. The boys were catching small mouth bass right off the dock! We rented a boat for the week, which I would strongly suggest. A boat allows you to truly enjoy the stunning scenery of Lake Otsego. Lunch at the Blue Mingo is a must! Also a must is watching the sunset by the fire pit on the beach. Bill, the property manager responds quickly to any questions you may have during your stay. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Cooperstown is so much more than baseball!

Owner Response

Hi Donna and thank you for your wonderful overview. We continue to be surprised at how many visitors to Cooperstown don't know we have such a fantastic lake. LakePointe is really the perfect place to fully enjoy all that Otsego Lake offers and we're very happy you were able to experience it! We hope to see you again! Liz and Bill

Loved our stay! House is even better than the pictures show, open and spacious. Beach is incredible, clean and easy to use kayaks and canoes. Kids loved the trampoline. We fished off the dock all week with tons of activity (mostly pan fish and large mouth bass) which was a hit for all of us. One small caution: the beach is well below the house, 60 stairs or so--not really an issue for the kids, my wife or I, but did limit grandma's trips to the beach. Not a big deal, just worth noting. Owner is very attentive and responsive whenever we had questions. Would definitely stay here again!

Owner Response

Hey Mike! Thanks for your review...we love getting feedback from our guests. We're ready to welcome you back as Preferred Guests whenever you're ready to go fishing again! All the best, Liz and Bill

The property was extremely clean and spacious rooms with fabulous bathrooms. The screened in porch was a big hit as well as all the patios. The kids enjoyed kayaks, canoe and water trampoline. Beautiful place and would definitely go back again.

Owner Response

Who doesn't love bright and super-clean bathrooms??:) And kayaks, canoes and floating trampolines!! Thanks for being great guests and we look forward to welcoming you back! Liz and Bill

We had the most amazing and relaxing stay possible. Thank you!

Lake Point was absolutely beautiful and was perfect for our needs. We were three families spending the week for baseball. Loved Cooperstown and loved the lake. Your property was one of the nicest homes there. We'll definitely come back to stay."

Owner Response

Hi Sandra, We are so happy you enjoyed your visit and we will be awaiting your return:)

Loved staying on Lake Otsego. We were in town for the Cooperstown Dream Park tournament and wanted to stay at a house where we could relax and hang out between games. We shared the house with another family. There was plenty of room. All the kids loved playing in the lake and jumping on the trampoline. House is the perfect location to watch the sunset through the trees and over the lake. It was a great get away and allowed those not playing in the tournament to get a break and relax. Owners service was great and he made sure we got what we needed to have the perfect stay. One note, there is no cell service around parts of the lake. We used wifi and house phone. Worked out well but it was a bit challenging for my husband to work out of the house.

Owner Response

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review of LakePointe. Lots of people visit Coooerstown and don't have the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful lake. Nothing better than a cool swim after a hot day of watching baseball!

We loved our stay at Lakepointe--great beach and water trampoline for the kids. The kitchen, dining, and living areas are open-concept so that even those of us working in the kitchen could enjoy the conversation, the lake views, and stayed engaged. The bathrooms are clean and newly renovated. We shared this house with three other couples and found it very comfortable. Great week! Lots of fun at the house, on the lake, and at Cooperstown Dreams Park 12U baseball tournament. We all want to come back next year and just enjoy the area and the house without having to be on a baseball tournament schedule! The pictures don't do this home justice. It is much larger, open, and airy with nice updates in the kitchen and bathrooms than the photos show. Other families on our son's baseball team stayed at larger, newer homes on the lake. We all agreed that this home had the best beach, dock/sitting area/ lakefront by far. The porches and open concept common area also won us over and some of our day guests agreed it was a much better use of space than the newer homes they chose.

Owner Response

Your kind words are very much appreciated. We are always glad to share our home with families who take advantage of the perfect lake frontage it offers. We hope you'll come back for another sunset!

This property provided a clean and comfortable get away for our group. We made use of the fireplace on a chilly night and enjoyed access to the lake with the provided kayaks. There were three nice size bathrooms and a great washer and dryer! The view of the lake was the perfect setting for a cup of coffee.

Owner Response

Our lake really is perfect for kayaking, canoeing and fishing...or just having fun on the giant floating trampoline! Thank you for being great guests!

We came to Cooperstown for my son's 12th birthday... obviously to immerse him in everything related to baseball. When planning this trip, I discovered Cooperstown Luxury online. Mr. William Miller was quite the facilitator and host!! I can't say enough about the experience, but all of us were stunned by the Lakepointe Property and Ostega Lake. The home is very comfortable and welcoming, and the view is out of this world. There is also a personal little beach on the property that included a fire pit, kayaks and canoe. If we weren't at the Basebell Hall of Fame, we were on the beautiful lake. We ended the nights with a perfect fire and smores. I don't think I can say enough about how great our stay was. I highly recommend it to anyone. Whether you are curious about Cooperstown for the baseball history, or you just want a relaxing weekend in the beautiful outdoors... this is definitely the place to stay!

Owner Response

Most visitors to Cooperstown never realize we have one of the cleanest lakes in the country just a block away from the Hall of Fame! We're very glad your son and family enjoyed their visit and time at the lake. We look forward to welcoming you back!

We stayed at the house for a Cooperstown baseball tournament. It is a perfect location for those playing at Dreams Park. It was great place to stay to unwind from many games but close enough to Cooperstown to enjoy all that it has to offer. The lake was beautiful. Our non baseball kids enjoyed the kayaks and trampolines. The house was very clean and the three bathroom were a plus. I would have given it five stars but the internet is not very good. At this price point, it should be better. If we did not have a personal hotspots, we would have been in trouble for those that still have to work.

Owner Response

UPDATE: HAPPY DAYS!! Due to recent local infrastructure upgrades we now provide UNLIMITED HI SPEED INTERNET/WIFI!! Ahh, peace and quiet...pretty views, spectacular beach and wonderful sunsets across the water. Now you can enjoy the beachfront bon-fire pit, view the Milky Way as it stretches across the lake, AND be able to surf the internet. Life truly is now complete!!

We stayed at LakePointe with our family while are son played baseball down the road. It was the perfect escape after long, hot days of multiple baseball games. The house is quiet, private and peaceful. We especially loved spending time on the lake swimming, kayaking and jumping on the trampoline. The fire pit on the lake shore was extra special and made for perfect evenings. Our younger son will probably play in Cooperstown in a couple of years and we will be back!

Owner Response

Lots of visitors come to Cooperstown for baseball...and then they come back for a second (or third) visit to really enjoy all that Cooperstown has to offer and to spend quality time enjoying our lake and beach. So much to do...so little time!

Enjoyed a week at LakePointe with our friends while our 12 year old boys played baseball at Cooperstown Dreams Park. It was easy, relaxing and the perfect escape after a day of watching baseball. We especially enjoyed the lake and the fun trampoline!

Owner Response

The beach at LakePointe is second-to-none on Otsego Lake! Jump on the tramp, swim, explore the shoreline, enjoy the lakeside fire pit...from morning to night this is THE best place to spend time in Cooperstown!!

Our family vacation was amazing. During our childhood, we camped adjacent to this property. It was like going home. Now we have grown children and it was so awesome to share this experience with them. We rented a speed boat for the week with CJ's Boat Rentals and used it every day. So it was great to have a dock. The lake shore area was perfect, complete with a fire pit, a canoe and kayaks. We even had a family of ducks visit us every day. The house was the perfect size for 9 people. The only recommendations would be to purchase new cookware and have several serving bowls. Also the WiFi service needs to be upgraded.

Owner Response

UPDATE: Because of technology advances we now provide UNLIMITED HI SPEED internet/wifi! Our beachfront is certainly special; its covered with finely polished stones and westward facing for full day and evening sunshine, and then awesome over the water sunsets. Kayaks and canoe, the bon fire pit, swim and boat dock and even a huge floating trampoline...all adds up to a great lake front vacation! We truly appreciate hearing from our guests about how they enjoyed their time at LakePointe and their suggestions on how we can improve our property. Our goal is to provide guests with the best Cooperstown vacation experience possible. Come have some fun in the sun, splash in the lake, and make new memories of your special time spent with family and friends.

This house was comfortable, fun, and big enough to fit a group of seven. Never a dull moment, clean, lake front, fire pit, fooseball, comfortable living room, etc. not a bad word to say.

Owner Response

Our home is quietly located at the end of a long driveway which contributes to the feeling of truly being on vacation. The beach with its kayaks and the lakeside fire pit, this is the place many guests choose to spend their time. Bring your family to our slice of upstate NY heaven!

Several college sorority sisters from 40+ years ago had a get together here, and we could not have asked for a more perfect setting to catch up, laugh, relax and enjoy a BEAUTIFUL view. From the large living/dining area, rocking on the deck or sitting at the picnic table in the screened porch, or relaxing in the sun on the floating dock, it was perfect. The bedrooms were spacious, and the 3 full baths made life much easier! The property is immaculate and user friendly. Loved it!

Owner Response

Reunions...family, high school, college, club...whatever the celebration, a lake side home is a great place to come together. The ambiance of our home overlooking the lake, the wonderful access to the lake and the beach fire pit all lend to wonderful memories. Come to the lake, bring your friends and make your own memories!

We took our daughter's family including 4 grandsons ages 2-9 for a week at Lake Pointe and had a wonderful time. There was so much to do right on the property we hardly left. Daytimes it was swimming, kayaking, canoeing and jumping on the trampoline raft, followed by nighttime campfires on the beach. The beach access was shallow enough the 2 year old could walk in and there was a boat dock for jumping off or tying up a boat rental. Glimmerglass State Park is right around the cove with a big sandy beach and ball fields. The 3 newly renovated bathrooms were also a plus. Great spot for a lake vacation.

Owner Response

Nothing better than enjoying family and friends in a casual lakeside setting...beach, water, sunshine! Boat launching access into Otsego Lake is so restricted we have very little traffic on the water making it an ideal place to canoe, kayak and fish. Rental boats are available for inner tubing and water skiing...Life is great at the lake! Book now and get into the swim!

Really enjoyed our stay! Came to spend time with extended famiy and could not have asked for a better location. The home was just as pictured; immaculate, very private and relaxing, filled with everything we needed. And the beds were so very comfortable! The lakefront is wonderful! Hours of fun jumping off the dock and swimming in the clear, refreshing lake! The kids loved the water trampoline! Truly special sunsets; a very peaceful time for a quiet paddle in the kayak. Lively board games, foosball, horseshoes and campfires kept everyone entertained! Perfect location for memorable family time!

Owner Response

A vacation on the lake provides a very special opportunity to create life-long memories. What kid will ever forget hanging with their friends at the edge of the lake skipping stones? Bring your family to our lake home and experience a wonderful break from the ordinary!

Property was excellent and as advertised. Perfect for a family or group of friends to get away for a quiet week/weekend on the lake.

Up to date pictures and details help our potential guests understand what we are offering and our prior guests, through the review process, validate them. When renting a vacation home for your family, surprises are not a good thing! No guest reviews??? BOOO!!! Reserve one of our luxury lodges today and rest easy tonight!

My husband and I like to go away just after Labor day to celebrate our anniversary. In the past we would spend several days in NYC to take in a show and visit the sights. This year we wanted different, peace & quiet in a serene setting. This property is just that, especially after Labor day! It's private enough even with the proximity of the neighbors, but this time of year its even more so! It seemed like we were the only ones there! Otsego (Glimmerglass) lake is clean, clear and quiet and you have a view from either the house deck (or the small loft that we stayed in known as "The Birds nest"). Your 20 minutes away from Cooperstown village (and the Baseball Hall Of Fame) as well as some very nice golf courses. I'm sure there is some good dining (a list is provided by the owners) but we prepared our own meals. Our favorite time was using the kayaks and sitting on the boat dock looking out over the lake (some GORGEOUS sunsets). The most excitement we had was seeing an Eagle swoop in for a fresh catch! The owners are very accommodating and keep the property meticulous. The bed was very comfortable as was the whole cabin all the comforts of home. I strongly recommend if this is the kind of Get Away you're looking for.

Owner Response

Waves lapping at the shore, the beach fire pit snapping and crackling and the setting sun coloring the lake with fantastic hues... it simply doesn't get better than this! Book your special memory today!!

Coming from Southern California, this was exactly the lake vacation we were hoping for! House was in excellent condition with fresh new linens including plenty of new bath towels. Amenities like kayaks, canoe, dock, great large beach with firepit and of course the water trampoline were huge highlights. Location was very peaceful and private. AT&T mobile customers beware; no signal, but Verizon is fine. Owner was super helpful, even though we really didn't need much; everything was very much as described. We'll be seeking this or one of the owners other lake properties when we return for our next two rounds of Cooperstown Dreams Park Tournament players.

Owner Response

Many people think our beach frontage is the best on the entire lake! During the summer our guests spend lots of time here swimming, kayaking and bouncing on the available trampoline. Bring your own boat or rent one and tie up at our private dock. With an expansive beach covered with fine, wave-polished pebbles and stones there is plenty of room to have a catch with a baseball, football or frisbee. During the non-summer seasons the beachside firepit is the focal point...nothing like a warm fire on a cool evening as the sunsets across the calm waters...serene and beautiful.

The house we stayed in was very spacious and very clean!! We really enjoyed our stay!! Bill is so easy to rent from, he let us know on our trip there the roads that were closed due to th weather and emailed us places to go. The view of the lake is beautiful as well. The house was well stocked, the blankets were so comfy (my kids still talk about them) and it was great to be right on the lake!! We have rented from Bill before and we hope to be going to Cooperstown again and will definitely only rent from Bill! Thank you for an enjoyable place to stay!!!

Owner Response

LakePointe is becoming a favorite with our guests! In addition to great interior family spaces, this home has what many people consider to be the BEST lake frontage anywhere on Otsego Lake! With more than 200 feet of beach covered with finely polished pebbles and its western exposure...guests can take advantage of very long afternoon sun and outstanding sunsets over the water. Kayaks and canoe, firepit at the edge of the water and a great swim/boat dock provide plenty of sources of fun for the entire family!

We rent on homeaway.com and have always been extremely happy with the rentals. This property was wonderful. Unfortunately we did not get to spend so much time there. I would have liked to have rented for 2 weeks. We were back and forth to Cooperstown Dreams Park all week. That was a wonderful experience as well. This was our second time with the Dreams Park experience and never let down it is run like a dime. We did have the team swimming at this property one evening and it was simply magical!! When my son going to bed the night before leaving said it was the best week of his life I had a tear in my eye. It not only had to do with his baseball experience but the time he spent at the home as well. I wished we could have stayed on another week just enjoying this home. It was peaceful, clean, quiet, great views and full of nature. My husband and I biked or ran everyday around this home. The town was close enough to get breakfast in the morning yet the owners had the kitchen set up with a Keurig ready to go. Sometimes little things like this make a difference. The owners were available should you have a question. I would highly recommend this home. It is also great if you bring others it was like two separate areas. My husband and I had master bedroom and my mom and aunt were in other rooms. It felt completely private for all of us. A great rental property!!!

Owner Response

Our goal is to provide families with exceptional homes in which to relax and unwind. And we are delighted when guests report they wish they could have spent more time at the home! And we also appreciate any guidance from our guests on how we can make our home more comfortable for future guests!

Our group of 9 women rented your home in October. We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at your house for the weekend. The house is lovely, comfortable and we did not want for anything. We were able to enjoy the fall foliage while kayaking and canoeing on the lake. Will definitely keep your home in mind for future vacations !

Owner Response

The weather in central New York can be absolutely perfect in late September/early October for kayaking and canoeing...not too hot nor cold. And the colorful foliage reflecting in the calm lake waters makes for a photographers paradise. It is one of our favorites times to be out on the water...come and give it a try!

We stayed at this property during our recent Cooperstown Visit. The house was just what we expected based on the pictures and description on VRBO. The location was gorgeous, right on the lake and easy drive into downtown Cooperstown. We rent homes frequently while traveling and love it when a house is not cluttered with personal items, this house was not cluttered and had everything we needed and just the right personal touches to make us feel at home. One of the best things about the house is how quiet the area is.....no barking dogs, no road noise just beautiful peace and quiet....Bill was excellent to work with and gave us great directions and suggestions on what to do in the area.....!!!!

This house was a fabulous retreat for our two families of four. Our kids aged 9-13 absolutely loved the water trampoline, and we got lots of use out of the two kayaks and canoe. The adults enjoyed morning swims to the end of the little bay and back on the beautiful, clean, and usually very calm lake. We had Time Out Boat Rentals deliver a pontoon boat right to the dock for a fabulous evening cruise, and we rented a powerboat from CJ's with skis and tube that we were able to pick up at the dock 10 minutes away in town and then keep at the house all afternoon as we took turns going out. Our sons were playing baseball all the way down at Cooperstown All-Star Village which is actually 40-45 minutes away in Oneonta, but we were lucky that their schedules allowed us to sneak in some great afternoons on the lake.

Terrific rental, the pictures and descriptions on the website are true to life. LakePointe certainly is the nicest place on the lake and the best place to stay! The house is super clean and comfortable, private setting, very relaxing, and with all the amenities we needed! Our family had a great time at this lake house; the kids just loved it, they had so much fun on the water tramp and kayaking. Highly recommend for all types of “group” or “family” vacations.

Our family stayed here for the past week as our 12 year old son was participating in the weekly Cooperstown Dreams Park tournament. We had a wonderful experience all around! The house is perfect for a few reasons: conveniently located to baseball park - 9 miles, conveniently located to Main Street - 5 miles, provides lots of options to other family members not participating in the games. We brought our older 16 year old son and two grandparents. The house was a great respite from the field especially during rain. Our family took full advantage of chilling out at the house, fishing on the dock, playing horsehoes endlessly, s'mores on the fire pit, and even kayaking. Grandparents were happy to miss a rainy pool play game or two because they were eager to relax in the inviting atmosphere of the house. There was plenty of room for folks to be with the group or be on their own, Coffee on the rockers on the balcony overseeing the lake was especially awesome at all times of the day!! The best part - no surprises - everything was as it was presented to us in the preview as well as phone calls prior to finalizing our rental agreement. NOTE: the house is a bit challenging to locate on your first entry - so be sure to read the wonderful directions supplied by the owners - especially if you are arriving at night.

As described the property sits above one of the best waterfront locations on the east side of the lake. The secluded flat beach area is ideal for families to spread out and enjoy swimming, boating or just hanging out. The deck and screened inn porch provide a great view of the lake and allows for dinning and viewing memorable sun sets. The house is a cut above most summer cottages with a well equipped kitchen, good sized bedrooms and a wonderful great room. Has been rented by my family in the past with no problems and a resposive owner.

Owner Response

Our home has a become an annual destination for a number of families. They bring the kids and their friends each year and continue to build a lifetime of memories and a deep appreciation of, and love for, lake front living! And every year we have the great opportunity to share our home with a few more families and provide them with a water front experience that most will never have the chance to participate in. We are always happy to hear from our guests and to learn of the special moments they enjoyed while vacationing at LakePointe!

The pictures do not do it justice. This place is AMAZING!! The back yard is incredible and there are 7 legitimate beds! I think 2 twins (bunk bed) and a full bed in one room, a king (maybe queen) and a twin in another room, and two additional rooms each with a king or queen bed. This place could easily sleep 10, no doubt about it. Also, the couches are super comfortable, and the grill is amazing! It’s a Weber genesis grill! The tv is huge, and the house is beautiful. And that’s just the inside! The backyard has a beautiful area to relax and enjoy a fire. You have a dock and a water trampoline. It’s really a perfect place to stay!
