What guests think

Across numerous glowing reviews, The Meadowlark Inn is praised for its exceptionally friendly, hands on owner Austin, spotless and comfortable rooms with large bathrooms, a welcoming atmosphere, and a lovely property that encourages relaxing time outdoors and conversation.

Homemade waffle breakfasts and family-friendly extras such as a backyard to relax, games, and a baseball area stand out. Rooms are frequently described as spacious, and the setting is quiet and picturesque with an easy, short drive to Cooperstown. There are a couple of isolated notes about a low toilet and unclear TV instructions. Expect a warm, clean, and relaxed stay near Cooperstown.

Our stay was great! Austin is a great inn keeper and host! He threw batting practice to the boys and brought out ice cream to finish the night for the family. Super hilarious and down to earth guy!

Centrally located to the things we wanted to do. Austin was an excellent host/owner who called everyone by their first name. He also makes excellent waffles. Nice sitting area outback and even a place to build your own campfire.

We thought this was a motel but it is a beautiful bed and breakfast maintained with a lot of care towards guest experience. It is built like a motel so you get all the privacy you need and is taken care personally by Austin who makes sure all his guests get a 5 star experience during their stay. We were pleasantly surprised as soon as we entered our rooms to find there is a sliding door to the beautiful green backyard at the other end of the room! Beds were comfy, bathroom was huge and absolutely clean. Room was spacious and had everything you need for a quick stay. Overall a 5 star experience.

The owner of this inn was absolutely fantastic. He was a delight to interact with and was wonderful with our children. I recommend this inn HIGHLY to families, and with the baseball field (and bats and balls) it is a perfect accompaniment to a nearby Cooperstown HOF visit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Everything about the Meadowlark deserves a top tier rating! From the moment you walk into the lobby, Austin makes you feel at home. The inn is so clean and well-decorated. The rooms are lovely and you can’t beat the property. Not only is it beautiful, it is set up to spend time outside in nice weather. And as all the other reviews have started, breakfast was just wonderful. We stayed while visiting Cooperstown for the first time and just fell in love with everything. We can’t wait to come back and wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else!

This was a wonderful place to stay. The owner, Austin, was wonderful. He had tables all set up and breakfast ready in a relaxed setting. So many little touches...large windows with birds coming and going, plants on the tables and unique lamps, big back yard, and beautiful flowers. We would definitely stay here again. It was also very easy to meet and converse with other guests at breakfast.

We were a little skeptical about staying in a motel but needed a place near our destination. The Meadowlark motel is the sweetest little place I've ever seen! From the second we walked into the lobby, our charming host, Austin made us feel welcome. The room was spotless and quirky and in the morning we had freshly made waffles with an assortment of fresh berries and a variety of snacks to go. Well worth the price. While you're there visit the Rose&Kettle restaurant a few miles away!

We loved every minute of our stay at The Meadowlark Inn. Austin made us feel welcome, and the facility is beautiful, extremely clean and comfortable, and in a quiet, picturesque location. The view from our room was lovely and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. The breakfast was wonderful and there were clearly several return guests who enjoyed his hospitality and friendliness as much as we did. If you are visiting Cooperstown it is just a short, scenic drive away. We highly recommend The Meadowlark Inn and would happily return for a future visit.

He even added items that we needed to his grocery store run so we didn’t have to make a trip. And we were just a few miles from Cooperstown. Short but enjoyable stay. Thank you.
