The property was historically used for milk cows grazing and the farmer would put the milk jugs in the main emergent spring to keep cold. Federal wetlands in the back are protected from adding to or changing, but can be explored in your wellies! There was nothing on the land when purchased in 2018. We wanted to create our own lake front property for our retirement. The man made pond is blue clay, spring fed and holds water year round. Is was stocked with large mouth bass and channel catfish in 2020. Please, only keep fish over 12 inches. Learn more about this land: Camp in the meadows or down by the pond. Also a small stream and wetlands to explore. All campers can pick where they want to set up camp.Camp in the meadows or down by the pond. All campers can pick where they want to set camp. Small RVs only in the meadows. Respect and explore the wetlands , swim and fish in the pond. Solar lights are in the meadow. Corn hole and other games available. Campers need to check in at the house before accessing meadows. Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame is 20 minutes away, as is Oneonta, Gilbert Lake, and Edmeston.

Olin Springs was a great stay! The field was nice and flat for tents, and the outhouse was modern and clean! The pond water was very refreshing!

Tent camping on Gerry's land in the summer was fun! They had a nice pond we could float in & we caught a huge catfish to grill. Gerry and Laura were very helpful.

Beautiful pond
We very much enjoyed our time camping on Gerry's property he was very helpful and answered any questions I had before getting there the site was beautiful the outhouse being so big and clean was great and was a very unexpected bonus the pond was great and the kids enjoyed swimming we had a good time The only thing I would suggest is that the site does not have any shade so bring something to hide from the Sun under we did and it was great

Pond of Dreams
I loved the area. Very nice people. Gerry met us upon arrival gave me options for parking my 10’x6’ camper. Nice quiet spot next to a beautiful little pond. They provided wood for fire nice ring for a campfire. Did not get a chance to swim but did catch some catfish and bass. Wish I had an extra day would have loved to stay an extra night.
