Stayed two nights in the two-bedroom cottage with lake views. Cottage is old and reminded me of summers with Grandma in the Adirondacks. However, it was very, very clean. Bathroom was spotless with plenty of towels. The first place I check in this age of bedbugs is the bedroom. The mattresses were brand new. Sheets and comforters were spotless and fresh smelling. I understand why they do it, but wish they’d lose the plastic sheet under the fitted sheet. It made noise and made me feel clammy. The kitchen was old but had every tool you’d need to cook a meal. Great cable tv. The sun porch overlooking the lake was an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee.

Breakfast was fine – bagels, danish, cereal, and coffee. My kids loved the pool. It smelled too much like bleach than chlorine for my liking. In fact, it took a few days for the smell to leave their skin and hair despite showering after the pool and each day after.

Staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. It is obvious that they work hard to maintain this lovely spot. Don't expect the Marriott, but a quaint, rustic, country spot where there is plenty of room for the kids to explore, both inside and out.

What I loved most was the ten-minute drive into Cooperstown. The two-lane road along the lake is beautiful and made me feel like I was really in the country. Even the cloudy and rainy weekend weather didn't put a damper on our good time and the view was still beautiful.

Would definitely return here in the future. Enjoy your stay.

We stayed at the Lake 'n Pines Motel this weekend and could not have been happier with our accomodations. The small hotel is immaculately clean and although the furnishings are simple--we were very comfortable. The motel is a short drive to downtown Cooperstown and simple to find. I would highly recommend this motel to anyone who is looking for a great value and super clean accomodations.

I have stayed there twice now and would recommend it to anyone who is going to the HOF or Howe caverns.. Located 6 minutes from Cooperstown and about 18 minutes from Howe Caverns, Not to mention a Quick 20 minute Ride to Oneonta.
Good Size Rooms, Moderately Quiet if you get polite neighbors but could get noisy i suppose as you can hear movement in next door rooms. Mattress' are a bit old and need replacing but are comfortable enough for a good night sleep. A Lake View that cant be beat. A Continental Breakfast that includes, Bagels, Cereal,Coffee and OJ. Nice Service. Game Room with about 7 Video Games, 2 Pools- 1 indoors and a Hot Tub and the Boats for the Lake all make it a perfect place to stay and give you things to do other then the Popular Area Attractions! If you go during the Off Season, prices are amazing. The area does not have ANY big chain hotels. The Lake N Pines is perfect for Upstate NY and is Perfect for a Trip to Cooperstown!

I convinced my brother from Florida to join me at the Lakes N Pines this fall to go to the Hall of Fame and to view the fall foliage. He was pleasantly surprised. We had a nice 3 BR cottage with full kitchen, a dining room, a living room and a sun room overlooking beautiful Lake Otsego. At night time when the town was dead, we still had fun by utilizing the jacuzzi, sauna and indoor pool. During the mornings, we would eat breakfast outdoors on the deck overlooking the lake. It was extremely peaceful and comfortable. I will be back next year to unwind from the rat race and to recharge my batteries. The staff is very nice and they know how to keep you happy. My brother asked me how I found this place given all the amenities and the great value. I told him that I found it online, took a chance, and will go to no other motel in the Cooperstown area.
