This Property Books on Cooperstown Dreams Park calendar only!


Blackbird Hollow - has recently been purchased by a host who has worked with us very successfully on many other properties for well over 10 years. They are in the process of renovating and making changes. Pictures shown are from the recent real estate listing. Below you will find a detailed summary of the upcoming changes. All bedrooms and bathrooms are noted below as they will be in the summer of 2026, not necessarily as they are pictured. 


Welcome to Blackbird Hollow, a beautifully updated Otsego Lake retreat that blends modern comfort with timeless lakeside charm. With 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, including two private suites, this spacious home is perfect for family vacations or seasonal stays in Cooperstown.

Guests enjoy lake access a short walk down the road at Hickory Grove Point (Six Mile Point), a historic lakeshore owned by your host. Here you can kayak, swim, fish, or simply relax while watching the sunrise over Otsego Lake.

A bit of history: Six Mile Point is featured in James Fenimore Cooper’s The Deerslayer. In the novel, protagonist Natty Bumppo (“Deerslayer”) tries to escape from pursuing Hurons along this very shore, hiding near Red House Hill before being captured.
