This was my third visit in the last two years - mostly intended as fishing adventures. During my stay I booked another visit with my family for the 2nd week of September.
I especially enjoy the rustic mood that the property creates once I arrive there.
I had several very enjoyable conversations with William - sharing various experiences I encounter during my stay.
For our next visit in September, William generously offered one extra day free of charge.
The lake, and the sunrise view from the top of the South
Hill offers unique experiences.

It has to be the owner's weekend getaway
Photos show the place when it was clean. The house was strewn with shoes, clothing, bedding...as though the owner just stepped out. Plus there was no address. We weren't about to approach a house based on where we thought it would be. Finally saw a neighbor that told us it was the right one. 'Work in progress' is a stretch. The owner was helpful and reasonable on the phone but the satellite went out and there was no help with the needed password. It would be a great place for a stay with kids. Plenty of beds and one bedroom even has a door.

Beautiful, scenic, relaxing setting.
Great property with fantastic outdoor options to wander, canoe and fish, sit around a fire, and stargaze. Spent 4 terrific days away from city life bonding with my scattered extended family.
Also was able to check off the Baseball Hall of Fame visit from my bucket list.

Amaizing Days at "South Hill Farm"
For ten years me and my wife were renting different properties in Delaware county. The Mountain/Lake retreat owned by William is by far our favorite - simple, enjoyable and offering a lot of recreational options. Especially the amazing lake and the excellent fishing.
I enjoyed even more our time there, after reading the book describing the memories of Zita Bozanic Wenzel, who was born at this property - "The South Hill Farm", and who recently visited the property.
We are very thankful to William for all the accommodations he provides at the property.
This is definitely our final choice for future vacations in this area.

Gorgeous setting with an amazing view. The house is definitely a work in progress but it was clean and welcoming. Our family loved the lake and watching fireflies at night.

Great host, breezy check-in
Williams was fantastic at communication before and during the stay, answered our (many) questions, and was very accommodating. Check-in was easy, house has all the basic commodities. Great rustic cabin-feel place, perfect for groups.

Lake is the gem
The property was as described, a farm house and a work in progress. The wifi and television was disappointing as it was slow and any shows just kept freezing up (we were able to watch 1 movie before this started happening). The gem with this place is the land and lake. A beautiful piece of property and the lake was awesome. I fished it almost every morning and evening. The amount of largemouth bass I caught was unbelievable (more than 150 in the 5 days) in the range from 10 - 15 inches. They put up a good fight, jumping out of the water and going deep into the weeds. The surrounding areas offered nice places to eat and some tourist stuff to do.

Memories and more!
The place was the farm and farm house I was born and grew up in. The house had significant changes, but the overall property brought back memories. The setting is still beautiful especially overlooking the lake. However I would have liked to have a path for access to the pond. The best part of the stay was a visit with our old neighbors! We will definitely visit again next time with our gandchildren and stay longer.

exactly as described
Everything was as described in the listing. The only disappointment was the coffee maker not working and the rain. I contacted our host over the fact that we could not get Down to the lake as there was no path. He immediately called someone to come the next day and clear a path for us. And then it was game on. We came to fish and fish we did. We caught 19 bass and 2 bluegills which were nice sized. I forgot to tell our host about the coffee maker but now he knows .🤪 We will return if he will have us .
Thank you
William.

Loved this place!
Our family absolutely loved this property! Easy access to the lake which was very clean and the fishing was fantastic!! I annoyed the hell out of William with tons of emails with questions and concerns and he always got back to me in a timely manner and was so nice and accommodating to all of our needs. We will definitely be staying here again.
Thank you William, for sharing your place with our family. It was just what we needed :)

Great Stay overall
Everything with the check in was smooth. We loved having a spot my whole family could stay together. There were plenty of places to sleep. The house is definitely under construction and will be even more perfect when it is done. I did give it 3/5 starts ONLY because there were a few exposed wires in some light fixtures that seemed a bit unsafe. Other than that, we had a great stay!!

Great Holiday Weekend
The property was just as listed. A wonderful lake property with post and beam farmhouse being refurbished. The work that has been done is high quality, still more to do. We enjoyed the fishing and a canoe ride.

Rustic Farm House
We enjoyed our stay here. Property Owner was kind and helpful. Check in process was smooth. Property description is on point as it states: "The house is by no means luxurious, and is definitely a "work in progress", but has plenty of charm."
The house is located on an amazing property. The house is very simple but if you know that going in, your all good. Basically don't expect high end accommodations. Overall we enjoyed fishing and kayaking on the beautiful private lake. The scenery is fantastic. Build a fire and watch the fireflies light up the night. Short drive to amazing waterfalls and hiking (just search google). Thanks

Quiet rustic getaway
This is a great place for an quiet outdoor getaway. It currently reminds me of a very large Hunter/Fisherman cabin.
The views are great. The price was right.

Summer getaway
We stayed at this residence during my son's baseball tournament in Cooperstown. My kids absolutely enjoyed seeing some wildlife on the property as well as hiking and skipping rocks down at the lake. We did not have time to kayak or canoe, but the necessary equipment was there. We had about a 30 minute drive to the park. We found the drive to be beautiful, as we saw mountainous sights that we were not used to seeing. Inside the house, we had plenty of room. It was nice to come back from a day at the ballpark and relax a bit on the property.

Beautiful View!!
The property is just like William described. It is a work in progress so if you are expecting the Ritz you may get your feelings hurt. With that being said the house was clean. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed besides towels and perishables to make our week long stay comfortable. The best part of the whole trip was the lake. The view was beautiful and the fishing was incredible! The house is just under 30 minutes from Cooperstown Dream Park for those playing baseball. William was also very easy to work with before, during and after our stay. Thanks for having us!

Cooperstown baseball getaway
My family of five called this property home for a week and it was exactly as the doctor ordered! It was tough to get my sons off the pond as the bass fishing was excellent. The thousands of fireflies that lit up the nighttime sky was awesome and the peace and tranquility of the place was perfect! The beds were comfy and the old home was exactly as described. We may have left a wiffle ball home run or two in the tall grass so finders keepers for future families that stay here. Lots of awesome memories this past week!!
