Milford Cottage | Charming 100-Year-Old Lake House on Pristine Mountain Lake -Your Perfect Retreat

2 Bedroom Cottage in Milford, Hartwick

Located atop local mountains and across from a state forest, Arnold's Lake has been a haven for families for well over 100 years. Our 2 bedroom cabin sleeps 5 comfortably and is all original. One of the first on the lake. The lake is clear, the view unreal, and the peace just what most of us are looking for.
This house is much as it was in the early twentieth century. It still has a quaint simple feel from an era long gone. There is a large porch to rock on, a great dock to sit and share coffee or a swim, a grill, a firepit (lots of wood provided), and the closeness to nature (lovely outdoor shower) that will linger long on your mind and soul.
If you are looking for something out of the ordinary from a more straightforward day and time, you have found it. Bring your binoculars and enjoy the Osprey, Bald Eagles, and fabulous fishing!
Both Baseball parks are within a 15-minute drive.
Note: One owner is a licensed real estate agent

Summary: It brought us back in time to when we spent childhood summers in a real camp. This had many thoughtful touches and was preserved in the original as much as possible. Loved everything about this historic gem.

Summary: Classic little cabin for a lake getaway. Covered porch with lake view perfect for morning coffee and dinner. Just-right sized lake to do a circuit in the kayaks—we saw loons and a bald eagle—and walk the lake loop road. We stayed cool even during a heatwave. Nice welcoming touches and great communication and suggestions. Would stay there again!

Summary: Beautiful, picturesque setting. perfect place to unwind, relax and rejuvenate. Owners were super accessible and even came and helped us with the grill and getting another boat out for us to enjoy The house is stacked with anything you may need Perfect spot to attend cooperstown baseball tournaments. We could have stayed in the rocking chairs on the porch all day and night. Thank you for the wonderful stay

Summary: The cabin is very clean, with a nice porch on the lake. Coffee in the morning on the lake was quite nice. There is an outdoor shower which is private and the hot water comes on quickly. The water inside is not potable, and there are obvious signs not to drink it. The hosts provide drinking water. They also provide lots of snacks/coffee/toothbrushes and other amenities you may need. Electric outlets are somewhat sparse but manageable.

Summary: While others in the Baseball Tournament mostly stayed in Cooperstown area hotels, we felt extremely blessed to enjoy this idyllic property. Rustic, yes, but very comfortable and warm inside for this time of year. Would stay here again!

Summary: If you're in for a super relaxing vibe in a semi-rustic cabin by a lake, there couldn't be a better place! The outdoor shower was a huge plus.

Summary: We spent a long weekend at this lovely cottage at the end of September and were so happy with our choice. The cottage is simple and rustic, but that is exactly what we were looking for and it was just the perfect size for our family group of my husband and me and our daughter and son-in-law. (There is also a futon and an air mattress, so more people certainly could have stayed too.) It was wonderful to wake up each morning in the front bedroom to the sun rising over the lake and then spend the day on the porch or deck, enjoying the lake, which is absolutely pristine and so quiet. Our daughter and son-in-law enjoyed swimming and paddle boating. The living room has a gas-fired stove, which was nice in the early morning and in the cooler fall temps at night. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with every pot, pan, utensil you could need for any meal, and a full-size gas stove and oven, roomy full fridge, etc. We used the outdoor grill one evening, and later enjoyed a great fire in the fire pit for several hours. Plenty of firewood available, and complimentary s'mores makings. The outdoor shower was refreshing—plenty of hot water and just steps away from the cottage, very private, under a beautiful tree canopy. We arrived on a very rainy afternoon, and were grateful for Michele's recommendations for places nearby in Oneonta to have a cozy lunch and buy local farm produce. Thanks so much, Michele! We hope to return one day.
