Peterson Place was a wonderful retreat for our trip to Cooperstown and All-Star Village. The 12-15 minute drive from All-Star Village is easy and the scenery is amazing.
We had 4 families in total, 8 adults and 3 10-year-olds, the house easily accommodated our bed and bathroom expectations. Aside from a cleaning hiccup upon arrival, we couldn't have asked for a better, more comforting experience. The house had been cleaned about 4 weeks prior to us arriving, however, the host quickly remedied the situation and came over to tidy up the house. We had a nice bonfire one night in the firepit, we watched a variety of wildlife from the rocking chairs on the front porch, the boys played badminton up on the hill and swam in the heated pool.
Some local highlights that we thoroughly enjoyed:
Weaver's Farm Market-great Amish market with fresh produce, milk (Clark's Chocolate Milk may be the best I've ever had), eggs and their Italian Sub sandwiches were awesome. I would recommend getting your basic groceries here, the prices were very reasonable, and the market is only a 5-minute drive from the house. Keep in mind they only take cash, and their hours and days of operation are somewhat limited, nonetheless, we visited the market 3 times during our stay. I would recommend Hannaford's for your other grocery needs, however, this is about 15-20 minutes from the house.
We had lunch at The Yellow Deli on two occasions; the food and juice drinks/teas/coffees are excellent. Dante's had really good pizza. We liked Ty's Taco-Ria and the Muddy River Brewery, and Sloan's New York Grill had a great variety of higher quality food. Nick's Diner was great for breakfast served all day.
