Hawk Nest - Lakefront - Beach - Sunsets - Fire Ring!

Charmingly rustic, custom-crafted cottage in a fairytale setting on 1.6 lakefront acres with private beach, swim platform, canoe, two kayaks and a blissful porch to take in the gorgeous lake and sunset vistas. Wade into the water from the gradual beachfront for superb swimming. Enjoy an evening beachfront fire as the sun sets upon this magical place.

Located just 15 minutes north of the village of Cooperstown, 16.4 miles from Dreams Park, Hawk Nest offers three bedrooms; one with a king bed, one queen bedroom and one single twin bedroom (the "moon" room is a 4th bedroom option with a full size futon) and 1.5 baths, a country kitchen, sunny and cheerful dining room, and two sitting rooms, all with views of the lake. The fireplace was built from fallen chimney bricks from the oldest house in Springfield Center.

The upstairs bedrooms have free-standing air conditioners for use on those gorgeous hot sunny days!

​There is dining available inside and out! Have a cup of coffee or tea outside each morning and take in the beauty of the lake.

Amazing views from the top of the lake. RIGHT. ON. THE. LAKE. Kayaking was great. Porch swing was relaxing. Decor was rustic in the best way. A real throwback, somehow also modernized. Loved it!

Rustic means rustic. This place has the most beautiful setting, right on the lake. The porch over looking the lake is a perfect place to hang out. The lake is great for swimming, but bring croks or water shoes. The house itself is cute and cozy. The AC was very helpful in late July, when it can feel like 60 in the am, and 85 in the afternoon. We had an issue with pest control that was unfortunate but I think it can be remedied with a shock & awe pest control effort. I performed a good bit of extermination while at the house.

Perfect

At the quiet end of the lake with lots of wildlife (birds, loons, deer). My husband loved getting up in the wee hours of the morning and fishing and I loved my tea on the porch. The house itself is beautiful - quirky and cozy and we loved reading about the history. It had everything we could have possibly needed and was only about 15 minutes from Cooperstown's restaurants and attractions. We can't wait to come back. I sincerely thank you for sharing your lovely home with others. It was a magical weekend.

I almost hate to leave a good review because I want to keep it to myself!

This is our second stay and we just love this place. It is NOT fancy and in the midst of the summer, you may long for a/c on the first floor . BUT it is the perfect, quiet location (and yet close enough to Cooperstown) and we love this quirky little cabin. It has everything you might need in terms of amenities and supplies. We love having a washer/dryer so we can pack lighter. My husband had a great time fishing and I enjoyed birdwatching. We can't wait to come back!

Not worth it

Not as nice as pics make it. Not worth the money. The lawn was mowed while we were there trying to have lunch on the porch. He was there well over an hour. Another day, the owners "good friend" came through yard with a dog claiming she didn't know someone was there. Obviously sent to check is out, she seemed very nervous. The house is very hot even with the stand alone air-conditioners. The property is very private and the beach firepit was great. Overall we had a decent time but have stayed in much better for less.

Fantastic Retreat

Very cozy cabin with new A/C units in the upstairs bedrooms. We were very comfortable. The space was fully stocked with everything we needed. We only had to purchase our personal groceries. Truly enjoyed the use of the kayaks and the lakefront area was perfect! We would stay there again in a heartbeat! Thanks for a great vacation for our family!

A cozy lake cottage

We loved this hand built cottage on Lake Otsego. The property is beautiful, and part of a larger property owned for 100 years by the same family. The house itself is a little rustic, but has a full working kitchen, two baths, and a washer dryer. The only thing missing was ac, but we didn't really miss it with all the screen windows and fans.
