Cobleskill Cottage | Handmade House on 70 Acres

3 Bedroom Cottage in Cobleskill

A perfect Getaway Rental In Upstate New York's Lush Dairy Country
Handmade house on 70 acre former dairy farm. Halfway between Cobleskill and Cooperstown. Very secluded, very peaceful, with 2 ponds, babbling brooks, woods and apple orchards and wild heron on the wetlands. This is one of the most relaxing, rustic spots you can imagine. Come and hike the land, cook great meals, or have a great nap in a rocking chair by the fire! Private and quiet, on 70 acres, yet near to many wonderful things to do like Howe Caverns, Cooperstown, Glimmerglass Opera, antiquing, visiting Organic farms, Museums, The Baseball Hall of Fame, The Adirondacks, and on and on.
Our house and land are very RURAL. Our amenities reflect this. Please do not rent our house if you are expecting anything except rural, quiet, solitude on 70 acres away from it all. The house was hand built with love by my husband, and we offer it for rental to those who might also enjoy this rural quietude, in a low frills setting.
The farm is surrounded by state land, so Fall Foliage is amazing. And apple picking is a perfect afternoon activity. Upstate NY is amazing in the fall- crisp, chiseled days and brisk, clear nights. Enjoy our fire pit on the back patio under the stars.
Swimming in the spring-fed ponds in summer is so refreshing. The fishing in our ponds is wonderful. Our land glows at night with fireflies all July, and August brings nearby festivals, carnivals, and fairs all over the area.
The driveway is plowed in the winter for easy access, and the sledding and snowmobiling are fantastic. The woodstove is the heat source and heats the whole house beautifully and easily. And there is plenty of wood to keep it cozy all day and all night.
And the spring is a perfect time to come up- the brooks are babbling with melted snow, the acreage is turning green and starting to bloom, and the wild turkey, deer and heron abound!
The house was built as a one room cottage, and recently we added to it- so the living room is now double in length, there are 3 new bedrooms, and laundry room, and 1.5 new baths. Amenities- Wood burning stove, dishwasher, microwave, double oven, well stocked kitchen with all hand appliances, wrap around porch, deep tub, satellite TV, DVD player and movie library, WIFI DSL line, CD player, 2 King beds and 2 queens , washing machine and dryer, books and toys, linens and towels.
House comfortably sleeps 6 people. It is perfect for a family, a group of friends, or as a solo getaway from it all. The house is very kid-friendly, and well stocked with toys. Dogs are allowed with an extra deposit.
Monthly and Season rates can be discussed. Fully refundable Deposit required for each rental.
The farm is 3 hours from New York City, 45 minutes from Albany, 25 minutes to Cooperstown, and 20 minutes to Cobleskill.

Summary: Grenke Farm is a secluded bucolic getaway for a relaxing vacation. The house is spacious and the bed we slept in was very comfortable. Our contact person, Mindy, was helpful when we realized we had to change our dates for the visit. This is a pet friendly environment and our dog Mele loved running the hills. If we return to the area we'll certainly try to rent this place again.

Summary: After last fall's short trip, our return to this picturesque property was everything we hoped for in a spring visit. From the weeping willows around the ponds, to the constant visits from local wildlife, the farm is full of tranquility. The wonderfully appointed house is a pleasure to enjoy... relaxing with a book and a cup of coffee on the porch watching the mist on the ponds, warming up by the backyard fire pit, enjoying comfy king size beds... all with mountain views to take your breath away. Cooperstown is a quick drive away for baseball and art fans. The Fenimore Museum has outstanding exhibits and the Baseball Hall of Fame is amazing. Cobleskill in the other direction has everything you might need or may have forgotten to bring, but we stayed on and around the farm most of the time. The dogs loved exploring and sniffing and swimming - it was a perfect vacation for them too. Thanks so much to Mindy for sharing this beautiful piece of upstate New York, it really is a wonderful, magical place.

Summary: Our vacation on this beautiful property was outstanding. The hand built farmhouse is nestled at the base of a gentle slope, with an orchard of apple trees at the summit. The apples were fun to pick and snack on! The swimming/fishing ponds made my husband glad he had brought his fishing pole! Tons of grassy fields and slopes made our 2 pups very happy to run and play in. The house itself was gorgeous. Many upgrades in the modern kitchen, beautifully appointed bathrooms upstairs and down. The living room offered all types of media and family games to play. There was a spacious and adorable loft bedroom that kids would love. We took advantage of the fire box on a rare chilly night, which made the house toasty. There were many bedrooms to choose from; we opted for a kingsize bed with ensuite bathroom; so comfortable. The location of the property was convenient to "Herkimer Diamond" mines and Cooperstown Baseball Museum, so there was always something to explore. It was a glorious vacation and we are already planning our return trip!

Summary: The house was lovely and we had everything we needed. The property is the show stopper! The land is absolutely beautiful and there is tons of wildlife. We had turkeys walk up to the porch, we could hear foxes (we think) bark at night, and there were rabbits everywhere. The crows in the tree out back were a riot! We loved exploring the property - it's beautiful and lush. We really enjoyed the cool evenings and mornings even in the hottest part of the summer. I hope we'll have the chance to stay again!

Summary: We'd give this property 10 stars if we could. The listing description is very accurate, no surprises. Communication with the owner was soom of the best I've ever experienced. The house is extremely comfortable. Extra bonuses were the porch, the fire pit and the swimming pond. My dog is still exhausted from stalking chipmunks and swimming. We had many plans while we were there but we canceled all of them just to hang out at the house. Hope to experience it in the other seasons as well!

Summary: This property is beautiful. A perfect place to get away from the grind of daily life. We had so much fun and our fur babies had a blast. There was so much property to explore and enjoy nature and the tranquility of the property. We woke up with turkeys and deer in the yard and fell asleep to the sounds of chirping frogs. It was rainy and muddy when we were there. But that didn’t stop us from exploring Overall it was a great experience. Mindy was very quick to answer any questions we had. Overall a great host. We can’t wait to go back when the weather is a bit better.

Summary: Was in the Cooperstown area for my son’s baseball tournament. Mindy’s farmhouse is cozy and comfortable and the property is lovely. The house is well supplied with extra blankets for chilly nights. We did not have time to use the swimming pond but it looked very refreshing. Beautiful scenic area, I would recommend this property.

Summary: We absolutely loved this house and the land. My son was playing in cooperstown and this was a perfect place to stay at the end of busy baseball days. The house is cozy and comfortable and well stocked with everything you could imagine. We had no electronics with us and it was so nice to play games and put puzzles together! The outside is absolutely beautiful too and one of my favorite parts of the day was waking up and sitting on the porch with my coffee. Mindy was wonderful and answered my emails - even one I sent extremely late at night concerning directions to the property. We look forward to staying there again when my other son plays in Cooperstown in the future!!
