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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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

Kayaking and paddleboarding

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.

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.
Our room was so comfortable.

Very Enjoyable Experience

We were very, very happy with our stay at The Lake House. When we got there, Sabine was holding the door open and asking if we needed help with our luggage. The room was spotless as was the rest of The Lake House. Friendly staff, beautiful views of the lake. They were very accomodating of our dog who had a great time as well! A very enjoyable experience.

Cute lake house. Room was clean and basic. Has Roku TV and you can use apps if you have an account. We had two full beds and a single tightly fit in the room but enough room for both of us. Large bathroom. Had plenty of hooks throughout to hang clothes and bags like I like. Regular bedroom type door with regular indoor Lock. Seems safe enough. It’s Like a bed and breakfast but didn’t include breakfast. House had shared kitchen sitting room and dining room on third floor where we ate a late dinner from restaurant on site that was short handed but very busy.theres a shared living room with library and TV on second floor. Enjoyed both shared spaces. Grounds had plenty of seating just was there late and it was very cold and wasn’t able to experience outside like we wanted. Staff was nice and accommodating and had a nice quiet sleep. I would stay again if in the area. Enough parking without restaurant patrons and about 20-25 minutes from Cooperstown.

The property sits on a small hillside leading to lake access. There are many places to sit and walk to enjoy the many beautiful views. My friends and I had dinner each evening at the restaurant because the food was fabulous and the menu contained so many great selections. My lovely room was upstairs in a quiet location. I enjoyed the common area each morning and the many places to view the lake.
Lovely sunset on the back lawn of the Lake House
