Our retreat at the guesthouse felt warm, inviting, and spacious. We were enveloped by nature, both indoors and out. Throughout the house there is plentiful woodwork, tiled and wooden floors, natural fabrics and other natural objects and artwork, all combining to create a serene space. The outdoor spaces included an open deck (perfect for viewing birds and the open sky and the towering hillsides), cascades of flowering plants, beautiful rock lined walkways, a gazebo, a barn, a Zen garden, and nature trails leading up into the woods (be sure to visit the waterfall and spend some time listening to it). Many birds were observed soaring, singing, and calling to each other. The owner’s outdoor cat, Tampico, came to visit us in the morning and evening and was as sweet as can be. I loved being here with my friends and loved ones.

We arrived during the gray and rainy weather of late November to find Comfort Woods warm and cozy with lots of cheerful Mexican tile, smooth wood floors, lots of good books, a full open kitchen for gourmet cooking and of course everything was spotless. The beds were comfortable and the view was peaceful. We didn't get to use the deck much which overlooked the rolling hillsides and wild apple trees, but we imagined it must be a perfect spot for a cup of coffee and just relaxing. If you are tired of the boring standardized hotel rooms, this place will charm you. Lots of rustic detail and room for just spreading out and enjoying the quality of life in the agricultural community close by. We were even welcomed with a couple of bottles of homemade beer!

We made a great choice with the Comfort Woods Guesthouse. The house is very well kept, and super comfortable. The whole house is interesting with the artwork, and the layout, and the tile and wood floors. You just feel comfortable hanging out in there. We came to spend most of our time in Cooperstown doing baseball related stuff, which we did, but we also explored the land around the house too. The mountain in the back has a nice trail which leads to waterfalls, and there are some really large rock formations and huge erratic boulders to marvel at. The changing leaves were pretty spectacular too. The owners of the house are really nice folks, and very accommodating and helpful with information and the like. It was a great getaway for us, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

I organized a weekend cycling tour of the Cooperstown area in September 2009 and seven of us stayed in this cozy guesthouse. The location is extremely quiet and rural. The house is decorated in a Mexican farmhouse style. The kitchen is well-equipped for a group though the bedrooms have little privacy though for our trip, this wasn't an issue. The house has a nice deck, a gazebo, herb garden and a storage area underneath the house. The owner has set the house with a good recycling system. Several bikes are available to use on the quiet road in front of the house. It's a good value for the Cooperstown area and would be a wonderful retreat spot for a small group.
