Lake House

A quiet place by the lake, cosy albeit small rooms, very nice green area. You should be aware that there is no breakfast served but there are kitchens on both floors and plenty of space to have breakfast on your own. The restaurant on the property serves copious lunch and dinners as well as local wines. Couple of tourist attractions in the proximity.

Beautiful inn on lakefront with event stage and seating and fire pits. A band was booked on the night I stayed which made for noisy evening but ended at 10. Room is small but clean and comfortable. Well-stocked library with fireplace and first-floor restaurant are welcome amenities

The owners and caretakers were wonderful! The restaurant below had a wonderful menu and the deck overlooking the lake and property was beautiful. We enjoyed the paddle boats and kayaks that were available to use and the lake was clear and healthy. They also had a live band playing and firepits/swings to enjoy. We will be going back in the future.

Outside of the parking during Friday and Saturday nights due to concerts, our stay was excellent.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Lake House. The room was cozy and spotless, and the staff were friendly and always helpful with our travel questions. The restaurant was excellent—everything we tried was delicious, especially the French onion soup (a must-try!). Guests can also use the lodge’s kayaks, which I thought was such a wonderful bonus. The location is convenient too—just a short drive from Cooperstown. Overall, it’s a perfect place to stay!

Sabina was a great host. Made sure everything about our stay was perfect. Answered all of our questions about the area. Restaurant was delicious and even had live music Saturday night. Room was perfect and location on the lake is amazing. Loved the common areas on both floors where you can hang out, wish more people did that. Down by the lake they lit fire pits where you could end the day on a perfect note. Very close to Cooperstown (Baseball HOF) and Fly Creek Cider Mill which is not to be missed. Went twice. Will definitely try to go back again soon.

Such a great spot. 2nd year staying here. Rustic, quaint, comfy. We always look forward to that pretty bar, delicious meal, and nice band playing outdoors right up against the lake. Cozy room. Good price.

We came in after dinner down the road, put on swimsuits, and kayaked or paddleboarded for an hour before bed. Wish we had brought our own breakfast, but otherwise, an exceptionally good experience.

Our room had a beautiful view of Canadarago Lake. There are 13 steps to the second floor with a landing midway to rest if needed. The room was redone and looked immaculate with newer bedding and wall decorations. The large common area had a completely furnished kitchen and newer appliances.. This was such a beautiful, comfy stay!

This place is such a hidden gem. Though a truly historic Inn with a long history, Sabrina and Patrick are helping turn it into a travel destination. The building dates from the 1840s, but the rooms are squeaky clean and quiet - even though it is an all wood building. And the grounds, with a beautiful setting in Lake Canadarago, chimeneras, docks into the lake, is completely refreshing. The on-site bar and restaurant tempt you from leaving (although the restaurant was not yet open for the season when I was there), but the Innkeepers are the real reason this place is worth checking out. They are attentive to everything and want to ensure your visit to the House and the area are the best it can be.

Very clean, very well-kept historical property. You can almost feel yourself step back in time when you step inside. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I will be staying with them again.

Save yourself, this place is dirty, small, and has bugs crawling around in the bathroom! The beds were uncomfortable, and the pillows and sheets seemed like they were bought 30 year's ago. We paid for a cramped room at an extremely high rate. If I hadn't paid for a non-refundable room we would of gone somewhere else completely.

Clean neatly kept property on the lake. Hotel has been here since 1843 and looks like a nice place if you come here for the summer. plenty of towels and blankets provided. Bathroom was very clean.. We were very comfortable for a stay on a gorgeous lake.

Beautiful view overlooking large lake, close to stores and restaurants and points of interest. Room was newer and charming, everything was very clean and newer linens made our stay very pleasant. We would very happy to return for another stay.

Wonderful friendly staff, good clean rooms, full kitchen with plates and dishes available for the floor too. A little outdated but clean and quaint. We would definitely stay here again.

It is in a great location right on the water. There was no breakfast provided. There was a coffee pot but no coffee. Dishes, pots and pans but you had to provide your own food. Rooms could use a deep cleaning. A/c worked great.

Restaurant meal was excellent. Non flushing toilet, threadbare bath mat, dirty floors, Poor quality linens

Old building on lake but very clean and quiet to relax

We were pleased with this hotel room that had a great view of the lake. One light had a flicker but they came immediately and repaired it properly. Bathroom was spotless with newer fixtures and towels. The lake was very peaceful and beautiful. Property was on our way to Boston and we were treated very kindly.

This place is so charming! It is cozy and rustic in all the best ways. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. The owner is kind and a treat to chat with. Our room (Room 2/second floor) was clean and just as described. That said, if I stay here again, I will ask for a room on the 3rd floor as I could hear the family above me quite clearly. My family stayed in Room 10 on the 3rd floor and it was bigger and very quiet for the same price I paid for Room 2. Speaking of price, you really can't beat the price point for a stay here, very reasonable. I dined at the restaurant on property with 3 others and we all enjoyed our meals. The chef came out to check on us and we had a lot of fun joking around with him. I would recommend this place as a cozy retreat for a night or two.

Booked 250 sq ft room with lake view, got half of that size with sky view. Claustofobic, more like a closet. They are counting hallway to the size of the room. Upset Staff friendly. Quiet

This is an unique property that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back into a quieter simpler time. The property is beautiful and the rooms were very clean. Easiest check-in and check-put ever. Our only complaint is that the rooms are cooled with window unit air conditioning that simply does not cool enough.

Extremely high speed internet for streaming. Here for the woman's finals in Ice Hockey at the Nexus center in Utica. We had a room with a gas fireplace which was spectacular. Building looks newly remolded fresh paint floors sanded, new carpets, new bedding, upgrades in the bath ,rooms had new carpets. We look forward to coming back later in the week for the hocky finals.

It was in a very beautiful spot, exceptionally clean and grateful for the AC in our room. We were in town for a wedding so we had booked 3 rooms. The televisions in the rooms were smart tvs and you had to log into the streaming apps to watch anything but our tv had no remote. It is the bathrooms that were our problem. Our room had the biggest shower but 1 room had a very low shower head that was difficult for our 6 ft tall son to use. All 3 bathroom showers had horrible water pressure and temperature fluctuations. The water pressure wasn’t too terrible but it would change from good temperature to scalding hot and when you readjusted the knobs to a good temp again, it would change to freezing cold. Once again, when you readjusted, it would last about 5 seconds before it was scalding again. It’s such a shame because we loved the atmosphere, the rustic cabin feel and the comfortable bed. Even the uneven floors outside the rooms we felt were quirky and cool. The web site says we got free breakfast but we never saw anything. We did eat lunch there though and it was very tasty. We never saw a desk clerk or attendant until it was passed check out time and we were leaving. We only received texts. The keys were hung outside our rooms when we arrived and that’s where we left them when we left. The towels were smaller than a bath sheet and we couldn’t ask for any extra ones. Would stay there again if the water issue was fixed though

We fell in love with the property, the restaurant staff and everyone was super accommodating. Alec was the highlight of our stay! However the room was so incredibly small that we could barely move in it. We were so cramped that we only stayed one night instead of two. We never asked for a refund we just left. So you know it’s bad when you leave this heavenly paradise because of the room accommodations

Unique property, beautiful setting! Room was substantially smaller than online images indicated. It proved fine for me, as an individual. But had my baseball buddy shown up to utilize the second bed, as was the original plan, quarters would have been uncomfortably close.

Ok for a night. A/C barely cooled the room.

Very nice lakeside property. Lots of open spaces to walk. Rooms were small. Lots of creaky floors and bed springs.

Though alone, it's a very romantic spot you have perfect. Perfectly situated .lovely staff and decent food. The only issue is the walls are paper thin I actually thought my next-door neighbor was in the room with me. That's loud it was… But you can't have everything

The bathroom door did not close properly to latch, we called and they immediately sent someone that fixed it in 15 minutes. The room had a fresh smell and was on the lake side with a view of the lake. Very friendly staff, helpful and accommodating, we had an amazing time..

It was such an over top experience for myself, my girls and my dogs. Great hospitality

Lovely couple running the place. Very friendly and accommodating.

Sabina was a great host. Made sure everything about our stay was perfect. Answered all of our questions about the area. Restaurant was delicious and even had live music Saturday night. Room was perfect and location on the lake is amazing. Loved the common areas on both floors where you can hang out, wish more people did that. Down by the lake they lit fire pits where you could end the day on a perfect note. Very close to Cooperstown (Baseball HOF) and Fly Creek Cider Mill which is not to be missed. Went twice. Will definitely try to go back again soon.

Finding accommodations to watch our grandson play at Dreams field during HOF induction week wasn’t easy. But thankfully we found this place! It was overloaded with hospitality and old time charm. Sabina and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend it.

Sabina was excellent. From check-in to check-out she was very attentive to any request we made.

The Lake House has gorgeous views, is historic, and reminds me of an old-fashioned, rustic lodge. I imagine people going there as kids and bringing their kids back to share the experience and enjoy the water. I enjoyed a lovely dinner with a view of the lake. Once I got back from my trip, however, I noticed I was charged for that dinner twice - once, before tip - and again, with my generous tip. After exchanging multiple texts, I was assured they'd "look into it" and credit me for the pre-tip dinner, but nothing happened. That, unfortunately, left a bad taste in my mouth.

Beautiful property with surrounding lake. Restaurant wasn’t bad but service was extremely slow.

People were fantastic

We love this Lodge. This is our second time staying here and we cannot say enough about how pleased we were with our stay. The view from our room of the Lake was Fantastic. We needed pillow cases on the extra pillows in our room and by the time I got off the phone Sarah the cleaning lady was knocking on the door with them. The rooms were clean, reasonably priced, and the staff was extremely friendly. We can't wait to come back again. As a side note Our Dinner the night before in their Restaurant was very well prepared.

Rustic and quaint in a good way. The staff was extremely friendly. Great view of the lake and convenient to Cooperstown. I would definitely go back if I am in the area again.

Charming lakeside inn with the perfect blend of modern (WiFi) and rustic vintage character. A great room for our family of 3. The room was compact and clean; the bathroom and closet were spacious. The staff was super friendly and gracious, the central sitting area was comfortable, and the morning coffee was tasty. A picturesque 20-minute drive to the Baseball Hall of Fame through winding country roads.

Lake views in a quiet setting

Remotely located on a beautiful lake a few miles from Cooperstown. Everything was very nice and clean. The staff was particularly attentive here, I would definitely recommend this lodge to friends and would stay here again.

Liked very much its location near the lake. Outside eating facility had view of the lake and it was comfortable.

Nice older Lodge in a beautiful location along the lake. Rooms although outdated, are very clean and well kept. Great location with beautiful scenery. 20 mins from the main downtown area of Cooperstown. In Summary, Nice stay. Friendly staff. Beautiful location.

Nice, small property. Lovely vistas. Very friendly people. However my dinner on site was less than desirable. Haddock was previously frozen with a bitter aftertaste and the broccoli was room temperature.

We stayed one night, wish we stayed more. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. The drinks at the bar were very good. We had some appetizers and were very pleased with our choices. Highly recommend The Lake House.

Excellent stay. Wonderful staff at the lounge and restaurant. We had dinner here and it was delicious. The views of the lake were breathtaking. It was an easy drive and would definitely come back.

No food except Thursday-Sunday and understaffed

Excellent experience! Great hosts that are onsite and always available. Stayed two nights ate at the restaurant for lunch one day on the spacious deck overlooking the lake. Food was great. Absolutely would stay again. Thank you

If you were looking for a lake house to stay in this is the place. I would have giving an excellent on everything but out side could use some work. I guess I did not read the fine print if there was any. I picked this place because it had a restaurant & bar. After driving the 5 hrs to get I was disappointed to find it was not open.

Great bed and breakfast, restaurant food was delicious. Beautiful location with outside space for cocktails overlooking the lake. Could use some painting out on the deck area and cabins. All in all very pleased and enjoyed my stay

This is a lovely, quaint, charming spot with beautiful views. It is rustic - in all the best ways. Very nice staff and Sabina was an awesome host. Great dinner. Welcoming bar.
