Lake House Cottage - Only Feet from the Lake

Year Purchased: 2005

Why the Owner Chose Cooperstown

We remodeled and enlarged the cottage by the lake at the Lake House because it had the best location on the property- right by the lake. It is relaxing, comfortable and cozy. We were able to create a lakeside getaway for ourselves from our hectic life at the Lake House. After a busy day in the restaurant, we come down the driveway to the cottage- which can't be seen from the Lake House- to a home that is quiet, peaceful and unique. It is a hidden gem on our property and a place where anyone would love to spend time.

The Unique Benefits at this Cabin

We enjoy living at the Cottage because when you are here you feel like you are a hundred miles away from civilization with all of the comforts of home at your fingertips. There is Wi-Fi so we can stay connected with family and friends, the water is just outside our door, the sunsets are breathtaking and we can hop in our car and be downtown for an ice cream cone in two minutes or to the supermarket in three minutes. It is conveniently located and yet astonishingly private and peaceful. As I write this, I am sitting at my dining room table watching the waves hit the shore, the mist is lifting on the hills across the lake and my dogs are lying on the floor beside me. It is a piece of paradise.

Owner's Map of Cooperstown

People are always interested about how our family came to own the Lake House. In 1995, the previous owners moved on and left the Lake House behind. It was for sale for two years. My husband and I had gone on our first date at the Lake House and it was always a special place for us and our children. We spent many Friday evenings there having dinner with the kids. We put in a bid on the Lake House in 1996, it was rejected. A year later, it still was empty and had been condemned by the codes. It was quickly deteriorating with leaky roofs, old windows and becoming overgrown. We decided to try again and put another bid on the property for considerably less than the year before. We were shocked when it was accepted. The building needed to be saved. It is a local landmark and we set out to remodel and restore the building. The cottage was on the property near the shore. It started out as a station for the trolley that passed in front of the Lake House in the 1800's and early 1900's. It had been moved next to the lake by a previous owner. In 2005, we applied and were granted the necessary permits to remodel and enlarge it. It is a little treasure right beside the lake. Our children have since grown, gone on to college and live in other areas of the country but enjoy coming home now with their children to the cottage where we live in the off season months of the year. It is the perfect spot to enjoy boating, water sports, fish or just watch the birds on the lake. Canadarago Lake has several pairs of nesting eagles, Canadian geese raise their young right outside our windows, there are loons, wood ducks and gulls swimming by. It is the most relaxing place I know. I have since retired from teaching Spanish in a local high school, my husband taught science for many years and then owned a lumber store which he has sold and we dedicate ourselves to running the Lake House and enjoying the lakeside living.

    • Last summer we had the opportunity of a lifetime to take our son to Cooperstown to play at Dreams Park with his team. We found the Lake House Cottage in Richfield Springs for all of us to stay while the kids were there. We arrived on Friday to find a pleasant staff, comfortable rooms, beautiful lake, yummy food in the restaurant and cold beer on tap. What a great combination! We enjoyed the deck at night- (we hit a week that there was a full moon and it was to beautiful over the water), the lawn to play and picnic with the boys, and the fun of all of us being together everyday to talk about the games, sight-see and share the good times. We would recommend both the Dreams Park experience and the Lake House to anyone who has a son who loves the game of baseball. Start planning now and make it happen. It is an experience that we will never forget.

    • My son's baseball team played at Dreams Park in Cooperstown this past summer. All of the families decided to stay together and looked for a place big enough for our eleven families. We found the Lake House. It has rooms on the second floor, a room on the first floor and a cottage by the lake. There were over 30 of us all together- counting the brothers and sisters of our boys playing and this was the perfect place. It was right on the lake, there is a restaurant on the first floor, fishing poles, canoes, and rowboats to paddle around in, a place to picnic, everything we wanted to have great times together and relax when we weren't at the park. The boys came over twice and we had a great BBQ and bonfire. I loved the place and would recommend it to any group looking for a convenient and comfortable place to stay- reasonably priced, too. It's a good deal.

    • We found the Lake House Cottage on the internet for weekly lodging where you can take your boat and have your own house. We used Trip Advisor reviews as a guide and booked the Cottage for a week in August. The Cottage is new construction built only feet from the shoreline and has cedar shakes and large operable windows for great views of the lake. As you walk in, you realize this is very different, there is no sheet rock, only wood. The floors on the first floor are all oak, walls are wide plank pine, ceiling is timber frame and wide plank wood. The living room has a table big enough for eight, sofa and chairs. The galley kitchen is small but has all new appliances, standard size with upper and lower wood cabinets, large two bowl sink and counter. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, glassware and dishes. There are two bedrooms on the first floor with two full beds in each and cable TV; one has a sliding door to the lake, the other has a huge sliding window facing the lake. There is a bath on the first floor with shower, sink, W.C. and lots of room. The second floor bedroom is beautiful with big windows on three sides with awesome views of the lake, king size bed, cable TV, dressers and chair. The bathroom has a gigantic soaking tub-( big enough for two or especially good for giving the kids a bath at the end of a busy day), sink, W.C. and bidet, washer/dryer and big closet. It was perfect- private but easy to reach. We parked right by the door-easy to unpack/pack or unload groceries. We even had enough room to invite our parents to stay for a few days with us. We used the charcoal grill and had great outdoor picnics, also. There is a table and chairs right outside the door of the Cottage- that's where we had our morning coffee while we watched the lake. We did have a wonderful week using our boat which we docked in front of the Cottage. The WiFi reached even out onto the lake and we used our laptop while we were out on the boat. We have already booked our week for next summer.

    • We are members of a baseball team from Illinois that stayed at the Lake House. We all wanted to be together so we looked for a nice place that could handle all forty of us. The Lake House easily handled 30 people and the cottage another 10. The Lake House more than exceeded our expectations. This is a family run business like no other. We thought we would have seen everything coming from Chicago but this was the best vacation we could have planned. The owner had to unlock our door more than once and never complained that we kept leaving our keys behind. She no sooner got our door open one night and a restaurant patron, who came by boat to eat, couldn't start his boat. She said, "I can help you with that, " and got out a 40 foot jumper cable and helped him start his boat from her car. I was impressed! The Lake House easily handled our team party using the spacious gazebo on the lake. Their large lawn provided us with ample space to play ball and have a picnic. There was space for the team, parents, siblings, grandparents, all of us- with room to spare. The kids used the canoe and rowboats and had an awesome time. The kids even spent the night having a delicious breakfast in the morning before we took them back to Dreams Park for their game. A piano player is there every night for live music and dancing during dinner and after. This is a great touch for the overnight guests and patrons. The restaurant is AAA approved and the food is great. We even had homemade donuts one morning before leaving for our game as a special treat. We could not have been happier any other place. The Lake House is perfect for us. The last night there was a bonfire by the lake that lit up the sky and the shoreline. We had a great time and recommend this for any large group that wants a comfortable, homey, and wonderful place to spend their vacation. The one problem we did have was the gps address took us to an old abandoned farm about a mile away.

    • A large group of us with boys playing at Dreams Park in Cooperstown chose the Lake House and cottage as our base of operations. We are all very athletic and some of us even brought our bikes- although we didn't have much time to do anything but watch the boys play, we did have the chance to ride around the lake- about 20 miles total one morning before we had to get to the park. It was a great ride and a great place to stay and relax. We would recommend the Lake House for any team that will play in Cooperstown. It is about 20 minutes from the fields but the ride is easy and goes quickly. We found that it was really good to relax there after the games and spent many evenings together on the deck talking about the games. We loved our Dreams Park experience and will never forget Dreams Park or the Lake House.
