About this house rental

This lovely small open design house with an ample size master bedroom is on a very quiet road among woods and fields and old farms. A small creek runs through the property with a maple trunk gazebo above a terrace of native stone. Village of Franklin is 5 miles away and the hamlet of Treadwell, a village of painters and artists, is 2.5 miles away. House is 3 hours from NYC. Heated in winter by a state-of-the-art woodstove. (It is required, if you plan to stay in cold weather, to have some experience with a woodstove.) Wi-Fi available. Suitable for a writer or someone who wants a very quiet getaway in a beautiful rustic location. House is furnished with linens, towels, dishes, pots and pans, food staples, gas range, washer and dryer. Writers, ask about available rebate.

(Sorry, I have been compelled to ask for a refundable damage deposit due to an experience with a renter.)

Had a wonderful stay for my son's Cooperstown baseball week. . It was really nice to come home to such a peaceful and comfortable place, after a full day of craziness at the all star village. John was a very helpful and attentive host. He was very accommodating when we showed up earlier than expected on check in day. He had everything organized and ready for our stay. No cell service, but wi-fi worked perfectly. Thank you John!

John's home was lovely! We were two couples and stayed comfortably. It was fun to see all of John's mementos from travels in the home, and the kitchen was well set-up for our simple meals.

Our second stay at " Writer's Retreat " was even better than the first one. This charming place helps to recharge your batteries very fast. Situated far enough from other properties this home makes you feel truly immersed with nature. Bird watching from the porch became our daily thing. Deer are also frequent visitors drawn to the whispering creek steps away from the house. The home itself has a beautiful soul , lots of books, plenty of great music (CD's) and above all no TV. To stay in touch with the outside world Wi-Fi works great, landline telephone is there if needed. If you value organic produce, Franklin Farmer's Market is the place to visit. ( Sundays) Communication with the owner was quick and very pleasant. Thank you John for making our stay at your lovely home such relaxing experience. Cezary and Magda

Perfect for artist, writer,someone needing to get away. We were there for baseball at Cooperstown all star Village to watch grandsons games, some 3 a day so it was a ittle too far away to run back and forth, so just slept and showered there,That said, it was great when we could relax and have a glass of wine by the brook.
