Incredibly beautiful lakeside hotel. Grab a drink on the back patio by the fire pit on a perfect crisp summer night. Fun fact - this hotel was a partial inspiration for The Shining.

A beautifully designed restaurant that almost feels out of place in Cooperstown, yet it works. The outdoor seating area is really nice with the fire pits and this is a great spot to eat and watch sports on the big screens. This is the first thing you will see when you enter the town limits.

Best spot to grab a pizza to-go to bring back to the cottage. Call and order ahead, by the time you drive to town it will be ready. Good solid pizza that a true New Yorker would give a thumbs up to.
