  • We stayed at the Lake House and the cottage for a week with our baseball team for dreams park in Cooperstown.The location of the property ,on largely undeveloped Canadarago lake, is trulely spectacular.The large decks afford a dawn to dusk oppurtunity to lounge, read, sip a drink, or dine. This Hotel is a throw back to a different place and time in the best of ways! We had a team party in the Gazebo with over sixty people who canoed, fished, collected shells on the shore ,played ball or just relaxed.We found the entire staff to be very gracious,professional, friendly, and helpful.Our room was very well appointed and up to date.The Hotel was clean and everything was first class and we felt at home. Our team plans on telling other teams to stay here also.

  • My family just returned from celebrating my mothers 70th birthday at the Lake House in Richfield Springs N Y.While I have stayed at better places, the Lake House exceeded our expectations in so many ways.For example all the rooms open into a large family living room that is just great for family reunions or business functions. The staff is so friendly they made our stay very memorable for us and my mother. The Lake House is an old fashioned building built on the shores overlooking a lovely lake, the patio has a covered outdoor stage and a huge deck with rocking chairs for two plus tables and chairs. The rooms are standard fare, The FOOD is much better than average and extremely reasonable in price.The head waitress Diane will tell you all the great places to see and have a ghost story or two when she has time. Every one in our group had a wonderful time and will be back over and over again.

  • Several years ago we ate dinner here and enjoyed it very much so we decided to book the Hotel when we returned since the owner showed us all the rooms ahead of time. We loved them all so it was easy to book and know what we were getting for our money. There are five of us and they had several rooms that handled that many with a private bath and with a gogeous view of the lake and the sunsets.Our breakfast was included and it was a full serving of eggs and bacon ,juice,coffee,homefrys,hot chocolate for the kids, etc.It got so we arranged our days aroud the meals at the Lake House since they all were so good and with a family of five we were looking for the best value.Now the kids want to come back next year since they liked it so much and yes the parents have fond memories of the LakeHouse too.

  • Good Morning! I wanted to quickly pass along a note about our experience at the Lake House during the summer of 2008. We are a close knit group of parents whose kids have played together for years and looking forward to a great experience playing in a cooperstown national tournament. We wanted to stay together as a team because we enjoyed each others company, ability to car pool, and share in the experiences our boys enjoyed each day. If possible we wanted one place that would have the charm of the mountains, away from the crowds, food and drink on location, and possibly most importantly - a reasonable cost for a clean/classy facility. So 8 families - 23 people, landed at the Lake House for a week. The Lake House exceeded all our expectations. * We thoroughly enjoyed the multiple areas to talk after the games. From the upstairs game area often used by the kids, to the restaurant and bar areas, to the deck and dock we could get together with just our family, one other family or the entire clan. * From the entrance to our rooms to the furniture, the Lake House had all the charm of a classic B&B. * The food was very good ... but perhaps the most used area was the comfortable bar and deck. Many of us only had coke's and appetizers, but it was a great atmosphere to unwind after the day. * The area around the lodge was wonderful - we went on a 3-5 mile run through the hills everyday and even enjoyed a canoe trip across the lake. * Talking to other teams, our week was very reasonably priced for a more comfortable place then they booked. * But we were a big group. Hard to please all the time and could be loud as excitable groups get. But the staff and Chris & Gene always smiled and accommodated. They were wonderful with their hospitality and allowing us to assume their house, was our house. Please do not hesitate to have anyone contact us for a positive recommendation or questions.
