2nd Base Apt 2: Wonderful rental with Awesome hosts =)
This rental is as described in the listing. There was plenty of room to maneuver and having the ability to cook (save $) and do laundry (also save $) we’re lifesavers. The house is full of character with many original features. It was everything I expected from an older house to include some original wood flooring and the creaking to go with (for me a positive).
This is a town that is probably normally pretty temperate in climate so the AC was window units you used as needed — it was more than adequate and the norm in various rentals.
Our host checked on us regularly and even provided us locally sourced ingredients for breakfast one morning. Can’t say enough of the great communication and hospitality.
The location is about 10 minutes from ASV and walking distance to Main St downtown. In driving around town, I can’t say there was really a “good” or “bad” area. This rental is next to a Dunkin’ Donuts and surrounded by several old churches and similar houses.
Overall, the unit was exactly what we needed to make our stay effortless and enjoyable. Thank you Tim and your crew for a...

Plenty of sleeping space for a huge group with air conditioners and the living/dining/kitchen area is spacious enough that you can have multiple things going on at once. The game room was loved by all ages - esp the teens and kids - and the view was simply blissful to wake up to each morning. But my personal favorite had to be the dock - harking back to days gone by when we'd all run down and jump off into the crystal clear lake water...and equally as much fun when we rented a boat for a couple of days and could hop on from our own dock! And finally, a word on the Glimmglass Opera - which we attended for opening night Sound of Music production and the first in 3 yrs due to the pandemic. Words fail me. I expected a small town production and was met with world-class singers/actors, scenery, and equally wonderful customer service there. A wonderful stay all around...
Read more2nd Base Apt 2: We arrived around 4:30pm and followed the instructions given by Tim to access the keys. We easily made our way into the upstairs apartment and the kids claimed their rooms. There were four of us with an occasional 5th when my baseball son came back with us. There was plenty of room for us to spread out. There are a couple of nearby parks that we played frisbee at. Note: the community pool was not open the second week in June because the kids in the area were still in school. That was a bit of a bummer, but we found other things to do. It is close to shopping and restaurants plus 10 minutes from All Star Village. We also drove to Cooperstown on a few occasions... about a 25 minute drive. About 15 minutes further from Cooperstown is Glimmerglass lake which has a beach and really cool covered bridge. The weather wasn't warm enough on the beach, but it looked really nice. We had everything we needed at the apartment... toilet paper, paper towels, coffee, filters, toaster oven, laundry soap, shampoo, conditioner,...
