About
The Berstler Family – We’ve come far from that snowy January day in 1999 when we moved into our rambling Victorian. Lots of restoration and hard work have created a beautiful, unique property just perfect for your visit to Cooperstown. Elizabeth has graduated from Memorial University in St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada in May 2010. Brenda’s company, Savor New York, is constantly adding to their inventory of great made- in-New York products. Visit them at www.thatNYstore.com, or at 171 Main Street in Cooperstown. John, the Super Engineer is still traveling for special projects.
Why “Bryn Brooke Manor”?
Many a “lord of the manor” named his property in honor of the special women in his life. “Bryn” is a diminutive of the Gaelic name “Brenda”; it also means “hill” in Welsh (think of Bryn Mawr College) and our property sits, rather imposingly, on a hillside. “Brooke” is the lovely Elizabeth’s middle name; “Manor” is in honor of Cooperstown founder, William Cooper’s, first residence, “The Manor”.
