• Discover the Federal-style architecture of The Otesaga Hotel. Upon arriving, stop to appreciate the Otesaga’s eight massive 30-foot columns and 400 wrap-around windows. One of America's grand lakeside hotels, the elegant location is open seasonally between mid-April and Thanksgiving.
• Enjoy the best view in town on the resort’s spectacular wrap-around porch, which beckons guests with cozy white rocking chairs to take in the magnificent sunsets on the adjacent Otsego Lake.
• Look for nods to Cooperstown native and American novelist James Fenimore Cooper throughout the hotel. Cooper affectionately referred to Otsego Lake as “Glimmerglass,” and today the resort's main dining room retains that name as well. The Hawkeye Bar & Grill and the Hawkeye Spa carry the nickname of Cooper's famous literary character, Natty Bumppo, from The Last of the Mohicans. The Leatherstocking Golf Course pays tribute in its branding to the author's five-novel series.
