Our tour started at the gift shop which has some great souvenirs and books. Our guide was really knowledgeable and had been giving tours for about 20 years and was able to speak to restorations and changes that had been made in that time. He speaks at length about the English Clarke family, how they came to sit up their home here, and how it remained largely authentic in many ways with some key restoration. This great estate was saved from demolition, and you can see the care that's gone into it from the Friends of Hyde Hall since. The guide was able to answer all the group's questions on the family who lived here and the objects on display, including what was original and what the functionality was. He also said some details get more depth in other specialty tours, and I was very intrigued by some of their events and holiday features. The Clarkes may have wanted a nice rustic manor, but its downside to tourists is that it's not the easiest place to get to. I definitely recommend checking this place out and the nearby state park.

My husband, mother, and I enjoyed our three-day stay at The Phoenix Inn very much…read more We were in Cooperstown for a family wedding and I was looking for a place that would be easily navigable for my mother, who has some mobility issues. As I searched through possibilities, the first-floor suite at The Phoenix Inn caught my eye and made my decision very easy. This Inn provides everything you need, but there are no frills - the decor and accommodations are pleasant and clean. The beds are very comfortable, there is plenty of hot water, and the wi-fi worked great. There were power strips throughout the room, so we could plug in and recharge our devices. Vicki made the beds and changed the towels daily. There are daily newspapers in the common room and there is always fresh coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available. The guest fridge in the Inn's kitchen is great for chilling the goodies you get at Ommegang Brewery or the local wineries. The food is excellent. Each morning Vicki provides a buffet featuring fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, cereal, freshly-baked goodies from the Inn's kitchen, and a hot dish. The stand-outs during our visit were the Blueberry French Toast and the Raspberry-Cream Cheese Coffeecake. Vicki was amenable to special requests and was happy whip up a few scrambled eggs for my diabetic husband and she made sure to have the appropriate foods for two pregnant vegan women who were guests during our time there. The Inn is within 10-15 minutes of most of Cooperstown's attractions, but located away from it all. We had no trouble sleeping. I'd return to The Phoenix Inn.

I went there in person yesterday for two nights at their "primitive" tent sites. After Hanna checked her computer, my dates were all clear ...great, then let me pay the $70... but no... she had to check with management first. I thought that was strange since that never happened to me before when getting available campsites. I was told I'd be called later that day but nobody called me. I went back the next day only to be told all sites for the summer were rented out. Clearly that was not true based on her computer check the day before. BOTTOMLINE: if you are not a baseball family spending $1000's here, don't expect to even get the time of day. Therefore, they do not deserve anyone's business.

Our cabins were clean and well appointed with sheets, blankets, towels, coffee pot, toaster, small refrigerator, microwave and several utensils that the prior tenant had left. The views are amazing, the grounds are beautiful. We had so much fun here. Here are some tips: *every cabin gets a fire pit and picnic table *buy a $10 chair at Walmart to put on your porch. It'll be the best $10 ever spent. *All Star Village is across the street. It's about a 15 min. walk on a steep hill. *have your team party at the Pavilion. There are 2 grills, fire pit, lighting, and camp host offers several chairs for seating around the fire pit. * the cabins closer to the pool are a bit larger, and they have a stove. Book your team here!! You won't regret it!!

The room was spacious and clean (though a little musty when we first arrived). We couldn't get the tv to work, though not a big deal (and I'm sure they would have been helpful had we asked about it). The property itself is the real draw. High in a valley, it is surrounded by forest and has great views of the valley below. We enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub, and made a fire one night in the fire pit with wood they provided. They also have two gas grills and picnic tables, though we didn't use these. The breakfast was pretty basic but still filling, though seating is limited inside and the screened in porch is not heated. Overall a great place to stay when visiting Cooperstown and the surrounding area. Can definitely recommend to others.

August Lodge in cooperstown was a friday date night destination. My mother in law resides in…read morecooperstown so we dropped the little one off early and had a day to ourselves at this beautiful mountain getaway. Reading previous reviews we were on the lookout for a gravel unpaved road leading up to the lodge. To our surprise, the gravel road folks grumbled about in previous reviews has been paved into a proper road with lights on the left side of the path to guide your way in the evening. as it was a Friday in August most of the families that stayed for the week for dreampark had checked out and I believe there were 20 rooms booked for the weekend. We were greeted by a friendly young man who was courteous and enthusiastic. The lodge was more than accommodating with an early check in (we called ahead to confirm it was ok) and we were given a room with 2 king sized beds, a kitchenette and a spacious bathroom. As our experiences with hotels this summer was less then spectacular I was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness of the room and that the filters in the air conditioning unit seem to be regularly cleaned. No musty odors, cobwebs or dust to be found in the room. the kitchenette was spotless with 2 electric stove burners, microwave, sink, and mini fridge. I checked in with the yelp app (they have free wifi) and noticed there was a 15% discount upon check in. I went back to the front office and asked the young man who seemed confused and said he'd inquire. Quite honestly at this point I couldn't care less. If we got it, great but the experience and the lodge already proved themselves to be worth the price. Our next stop was the hot tub and pool. Outdoor and overlooking a stunning mountain view it was hard to pry ourselves away after a couple of hours to shower and go eat. We talked with the young man at the front desk regarding the dinner options in the area and decided on the red shed. I would have checked in at the red shed but there was no reception in the area. After dinner, we came back to a lighted path leading us to the lodge and found another equally as pleasant young man on the night shift. we inquired about the fire pit and if there would be one that evening. He jumped up and led us outside and got a fire going! Sitting outside in adirondack chairs sipping wine in cooperstown on a clear night has got to be one of the most awe inspiring view my eyes have ever witnessed. There isn't a constellation in the sky that hides from your view. You feel both amazed and a part of something much greater than your own existence. We were truly grateful at the chance to witness such a beautiful site atop the mountain. Our beds were as comfortable as they appeared and the room was equipped with directTV for our viewing pleasure. In the morning we woke up early to see the sunrise over the mountains (pics posted), had coffee and a continental breakfast in their main area behind the check in area. it was quaint, relaxing and had a screen room with rhododendron chairs that were comfortable and funky. I couldn't recommend this place more for a relaxing stay. Side note: they do have a game room with a couple of coin operated games and an air hockey table along with a swing set for the kids out front. We didn't get to utlize the spa, but heard the masseuse was good at her craft. *After leaving we received a call from the sister of the young man who checked us in. She figured out the yelp discount and applied it to our account. Thank you August lodge for not only the great relaxing stay but the follow through. worth the visit, just make sure there's availability as it fills up during peak baseball season. highly recommended for dreampark families.
