Hotel reminded us of traveling in Europe. Old but interesting building. Rooms were small but clean. We could hear people in the hallway but guests were quiet and we slept well. We ate in the restaurant on site which had decent food. Property overlooks a lake and we spent some time outside during sunset. Sabina was very friendly and informative. We would stay here again.

The Lake House was lovely, with a wonderful lakeside setting and comfortable accommodations. The restaurant is also quite nice. It is convenient to Glimmerglass, Cooperstown, and Utica for a pleasant stay. The biggest downside is that Richmond Springs has very limited dining options, especially for dinner.

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Lake House on Saturday, September 5th. We had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant. We really enjoyed the gorgeous property with giant trees, a stunning view of the lake, great music by Grateful Upstate Too-do-loo on stage. Personal firewood brought by staff to all guests' chimneys! We can't wait to return! Family owned and Sabina was a most excellent host.👌

This was a property that was built in the 1840's. We loved the character and the charm of the place. The most recent owners do everything they can to continue the legacy that's going on 180 years old. Our first night there the restaurant was open and we had a good meal after traveling half way across the country. They are very dog friendly and close proximity to Cooperstown. The staff was very friendly.

Great little spot, hidden off Route 20. Staff was very accommodating and supportive but I had issues with the WiFi, the size of the shower and unpredictability of hot water, and the fact that the bathroom window is directly across from the shower. Normally, the final point wouldn’t be an issue but the blinds didn’t go all the way down so I felt a bit exposed. I stayed in Room 3. I did not eat at the restaurant but their menu was extensive and they were willing to work with my dietary restrictions.

Wonderful place to stay, old building with lots of character. Rooms were spaceous. Lake was right there. There was a concert that evening but it was not too loud and was finished by 10pm and we were able to sleep. The restaurant was a good place to grab dinner. Staff was very friendly and extremely accommodating, we had a special request and they really helped us out. Our room fit 5 comfortably - 2 large beds and a twin size bed.

Lovely place. I wish we had a longer stay. We came and went quickly, on a day that the restaurant and bar were closed, so can’t comment upon that aspect. It’s old, but that is the point. It is an old lovely place with tons of history and rustic charm. I would definitely return.

We so enjoyed our 2 night stay! The historic 1800's Lake House was full of charm. We had use of their kayaks, rafts, docks and enjoyed the views of the lake. I would highly recommend this unique rustic property! The restaurant and bar had great food & drinks. We watched two beautiful sunsets on the deck overlooking the lake. Everyone was very friendly! I am glad we experienced the step back in time!

I wanted to like this place, but we were stuck in a closet. The room was just big enough for the bed and the bathroom was across the hall. Mattress was terrible and the floor was uneven so it felt like you were about to roll off the bed. We booked two nights but left after the first night. Not worth the pain of another night there. At least the staff was friendly.
