We came to see the Hall of Fame and settled in here for two nights. If you're planning a trip, I would highly recommend you come here as well. It is a very nice place, but the breakfast is spectacular. They're open to letting you pick a meal, and I tried waffles, sausage, eggs, they give you a plate full of biscuits - my goodness, it's all delicious. One of the best breakfasts I've had in as long as I can remember. Even the coffee is delicious stuff. I have too much shame to gorge myself stupid in someone else's home, but I easily could have and secretly wish I would have.
The owners are very accommodating, too. You're in their home, but they never make you feel like you're intruding on their space. That is a big plus.
The problems with the place are beyond their control - there's nothing around, so once you come in for the night, you're pretty much stuck indoors. But that's a Cooperstown problem. There's just not much to do after 8. We even ventured around to find a nice place to eat, and it's shocking for a city guy like me to drive around such a rural area in the pitch darkness finding so little life around. Also, there's a fair amount of bugs, but I guess that's what you get when you're in the mountains. We weren't bothered by it.
Pro tip: GPSes of all kinds have no idea how to get here. Yelp and google maps were confused. Google maps asked if we meant County Hwy 33 W - that is not the right one. Check out all the options the GPS gives you - Willow Tree is about 10 miles north of the Hall of Fame. read more
