We booked Star Field Farmhouse while we were in Cooperstown for a week at Dreams Park. We were originally traveling with six people and our two small dogs, so we wanted more space than the cabins where the rest of our team families were staying. Although our plans changed unexpectedly, we were so glad we chose the farmhouse. It was the perfect place to recharge after long days at the ballfield.The farmhouse was comfortable, full of charm, and had plenty of room for our family. The front porch quickly became our favorite spot. Like any older home, it has a few quirks, but Scott was incredibly responsive, and a quick text resolved the few minor issues we encountered.What truly made this stay special was Scott. We've stayed in many vacation rentals, and I've honestly never had a host like him. He welcomed us like old friends and became our personal Cooperstown guide, sharing restaurants, hiking trails, local history, and hidden gems. His dog, Shoog, was a favorite with our teenagers, and our afternoon pontoon ride on Otsego Lake was one of the highlights of the week.My only suggestion would be to clear out a little more cabinet space during rental season. Since Scott lives there in the winter, some personal items remain, so having a bit more room for guests' groceries would be helpful.Scott didn't just provide us with a place to stay—he helped make our Cooperstown experience unforgettable. We'd gladly stay here again.

This is such a fun property, full of character! Scott and his side kick Shoog were such friendly and attentive hosts! The sounds of birds and amazing stars at night really book-ended the day!

We had a great time in this cool, old farmhouse. Scott is a wonderful host. Very welcoming and friendly. Always responded quickly if we had a question. He is very knowledgeable about the ball park and the area. The house had everything we needed. Lots of pots, pans, dishes and staples to use. We enjoyed discovering all the old things, especially when cooking. Loved sitting on the front porch and we especially enjoyed Schoog. The location was great, close to the ball park and downtown area.

We stayed 6 nights at this property for a Cooperstown tourney. There are definite pros and cons so be informed before you go. Pros: Scott and his dog are great. Scott had great, quick communication with us and is a great guy! We went for a baseball tournament and the house is conveniently located close to the field- just a short drive. The house has all of the necessities (plates, glasses, pans, toilet paper etc) Bed was decently comfortable with clean sheets. Cons: The house itself is over 150 years old. It is what you would imagine for a house this old: creaky, Strange layout, dusty. The lights aren’t all on your typical switches. Some you twist on right by the bulb and some rooms had lamps. While the house has AC, it is not central AC, it is in window ac and one room has just fans (with the smaller beds). The fan blew bugs in. The upstairs bathroom which is small had over 7 mirrors in it. It felt like a lot. We did not use the bathtub/shower upstairs, we only used the shower downstairs which is more modern. There is a washer and drier, but you will need to connect with the owner to get the padlock code to the room since it will be locked. The house is connected in a hallway to a little cottage on the side, with a locking door in between.We were unaware of this so when we heard a TV through the door, it was unexpected. After contacting Scott, he promptly clarified that someone else was renting that part. Overall, it wasn’t worth the high cost but ok
