We really are less than 5 minutes from the Dreams Park.  And we're less than 5 minutes to a grocery store, restaurants, fast food, pizza, Chinese take-out, ATM machine, small department store, etc.   If you forget the sunblock or want to take a quick dip in the pool between games, you can just bop up the hill in no time.

We have a lot of recreational things to do for the whole family: pool, kiddie pool, timber playground, fenced preschool play area, basketball, tetherball, volleyball, game room, ping pong, paddle boat, row boat, fishing, fossil pit, protected beaver and heron habitat, walking paths, hikes through the woods, campfire rings.   And in 2008 we will have Batting Cages.

We also have our own ballfields so if you don't get enough baseball at the Dreams Park you can always catch a game or two here!  We run a baseball training camp for 2 weeks in July and August (July 20-August 1, 2008)  If you have a ballplayer not participating in the tourney, you can sign him up for a day or a week of camp. (Visit http://www.CooperstownBaseball.com/training.htm)

We have room for the whole team.  We have six 2- bedroom units and eight 1-bedroom units all with private bath and kitchen.  Having a fully equipped kitchen can help save money on meals.   Each unit also has a picnic table and a campfire ring. 

If there are some families on a tight budget, we have rustic 1-room cabins for just $70 per night.

We also have campsites next to the Log Cabin Trailers in case some of your families own an RV.  We also have secluded, wooded campsites in case you don't want to be near each other!!  Some sites are right on the pond.

We are licensed to operate. A few years ago, the New York State Department of Health and County and local Code Enforcement Officials found over 60 accommodations properties operating illegally throughout the area.  Violations included drinking water, septic, pool operations, fire safety, code violations, etc.   It takes more to run an accommodation than just a pretty face. 

We receive a year to year permit to operate as a campground, temporary residence and children's camp through the New York State Department of Health.  We test our drinking water daily, our pool water 3 times a day.  We have 3 surprise inspections throughout the season.  All of our buildings and facilities are inspected by the Department of Health and the Otsego County Code Enforcement office before we are allowed to accept guests. The Otsego County Code Enforcement Office conducts a fire and safety inspection of our property once a year.

If you are a coordinator of a team that hasn't picked its players yet, you can call us and place units on hold.  We will call you first if someone else wants to book them and you can decide then what you would like to do.

We also understand that  you need to check with other members of your team at the next team meeting to see if people want to stay here.  We can hold units for you for a couple of days while you check with the rest of the team.

If you are in charge of finding accommodations for your team, make sure each family calls us directly with any questions they may have.  This way neither you nor I will get into trouble for not conveying correct information!

And if you find that the team can't get together and decide on one place, don't hold out too long.  You may all end up staying at different places.  Be sure your family is taken care of.
