“A little too Bates Motel like for me...”

August Lodge

The lodge was close to Dreamspark and has a great view but....It was creepy. The owner is constantly lurking around the building especially at night. He just appears behind you out of nowhere. Then during the day he was often seen in guest rooms while they were out. There are cameras all over the property so you are always being watched. I would skip the spa treatments he actually sleeps in the spa treatment room. Then the breakfast was coffee, juice, apples, 1 kind of a store bought cake and a couple kinds of cereal the same each day. The wireless internet did not work most of the days we were there, The pool was not heated and the kitchen area is extremely small and hard to actually cook. There are lots of great options in Copoerstown I would definetly look into a differnt place!!

My wife and I along with another couple stayed in the two bedroom suite on the second floor for the weekend. We loved our experience at August Lodge.

The location is great. The lodge is 10 minutes from Cooperstown in a very quiet area up on a hill. The views are amazing and the lodge itself is beautiful and fits in nice with the landscape. The rooms are decorated very nice and were very spacious. Every room has a balcony with a beautiful view of the countryside.

Everyone working at the lodge was very nice. The breakfast was simple, but a very nice touch. Ask about area restaurants, they know a lot of great places. The have a nice little pool, hot tub and game room that is kept up quite nice.

One of the best things is how new the lodge is and how clean they keep the property and rooms. Everything is spotless and the furniture looks brand new. There is a small kitchen in each room.

I only have two complaints: the satellite reception is terrible and they don't even get any of the major channels, and the 10 a.m. check out policy is a bit crazy (11 a.m. is more reasonable). Other than that, we loved our stay and would not look anywhere else when visiting Cooperstown.

“loved the august lodge”

August Lodge

May 31, 2008

What a wonderful place to stay. Up on top of a mountain with breathtaking views. The lodge was a pleasant surprise. I'm one of those very picky people when it comes to where we stay and I would stay here again. Very clean with a rustic charm. Rooms were a nice size, beds were very comfortable. The owners made a bon fire at night and the kids made smores and toasted marshmellows.
only 5 miles from the baseball hall of fame.

“Awesome Hospitality”

August Lodge

May 30, 2008

From the moment we opened the front door and was greeted by Jamie the hostess, to the day we left and said our good-byes to Phil we were constantly amazed by the wonderful hospitality. Our every desire was met and exceeded here at the lodge. The view was beautiful, the pool was warm and inviting and rooms were large and very clean. We could ask for anything more. See you all soon.

I stayed at the August Lodge twice this summer. It reminds me of a beautiful place I once stayed at in southern France. The most spectacular aspect of the inn is the view. It's absolutely breathtaking. The rooms are styled uniquely with lovely touches everywhere--like chair rails that match the picture frames. It was very nice to have a full kitchen. There are porches outside the rooms to enjoy the view. The pool and hot tub were delightful and I enjoyed a massage in their spa. There are even grills for barbecueing. All the young people who work there were enthusiastic and friendly and the hosts could not have been more helpful and full of local information. The breakfast was fresh fruit and pastries which I enjoyed in a screened porch room over looking the mountain view. If you prefer, you can make up a little basket with breakfast and take it back to your room. Even though this is a full service, professional place, there's a homey feeling that's very nice. It's nothing like staying in those plastic chain hotels. I recommend August Lodge whole
heartedly.
