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.

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.

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

Owner Sabina was very flexible and helpful. Easy Parking in front. Didn't get the opportunity to take advantage of the lake but great location. It's about 20 minutes to Cooperstown. There are no elevators but top story is only 3rd floor. Very cool old historic lodge. Would be nice to have a refrigerator in the room but otherwise great experience. Would stay again if ever back in the area.

We were in NY for a baseball tournament and stumbled upon this gem. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was incredibly welcoming, the food was excellent, and the lake view was absolutely breathtaking. Great entertainment I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place—it’s truly a hidden treasure. If there’s one small suggestion, a touch of modernizing could enhance the experience, as long as it doesn’t take away from the charm and history that make it so special. Thank you for everything Lake House for an unforgettable family experience

Awesome, love it!

Sabrina and Patrick, who run the place, are awesome people! They’re super cool, super helpful, super nice, they could not have been more welcoming, more flexible, more generous, or more accommodating!!! Try this place for the amazing view on the lake, for the awesome kayaking, the best paddle boarding, both of which are gracefully provided by Sabrina and Patrick, and the great swimming, and you will come back for the fantastic hospitality and the best hosts you can hope for.

Lodge was very clean. It is an old lake lodge, which we knew, but for those folks who have limited knowledge or understanding of lake lodges, they need to be aware of the many limitations. It is not made for folks who have walking, leg, hip, knee, and maybe back issues. Many steps and uneven ground. Restaurant limited faire, but good when available. No breakfast items avaiable in morning, but have coffee strong and good! There is a refriderator and kitchen area for patrons yo use. Proprietors very nice and try to accomodate patrons. We slept very well here!

Lake House is a great place!! The restaurant has great food and a staff that works hard. The young couple who manage both the hotel and restaurant are an energetic, bright and very interesting pair. They work hard to make sure your stay is everything you want it to be. Sabina is helpful from the minute you make a reservation and is more than willing to direct you to most anywhere you would like to go in the surrounding area during your stay. The property is enormous, well kept and the pictures online are no trick camera angles to make it appear larger. The hotel has a long storied history. Now it’s a second generation business that takes pride in what it was and what it will continue to be!! Can’t wait to get back!!
