Bayside Inn & Marina

Wonderful stay. The woman at the front desk was extremely accommodating with quarters for the vintage video games when we arrived later in the evening. The kayaks were a great surprise for my kids and we went all the way to the other side of the lake and back. The room was clean and nice, nothing amazing but comfortable. Porch out back nice for a breakfast- we picked up our own at Price Chopper nearby. Waterfront area had a neat bonfire area.

My family and I stayed here last month and we really enjoyed our time. Our cottage was wonderful! We had a problem with the ac and they quickly resolved the problem. We will be coming in October once more before the winter and we are really looking forward to it.

Update April 15 2024. Again my family and I will be spending a nice weekend here in June and we are very excited!

If you are looking for a quiet, clean place with great views. This is the place . From the time we walked in the office, Jimmy was on top of it. Friendly ,polite and very informative. The most quaint, clean, and beautiful property I have been in a while. A must if you are in the are, just think childhood nostalgia meets beautiful views. Thank yall so much

What a great place to stay when visiting the Cooperstown area. Everyone from the front desk to housekeeping, including the manager were very, very friendly. The rooms and cottages are comfortable, clean, well stocked with supplies and nicely organized.

I spent time in the lobby and game room and enjoyed, everything they had to offer including the beach and docks.

Don’t miss out on this gem of a place.

What a beautiful, clean Inn.. The area is perfect & serene.. The cottage was cozy but only downfall was the mattress was too soft.. Staff from making reservations to checking in (Jason was so so very nice & knowledgeable) were wonderful.. We would love to come back next year!!

Excellent overnight stay in off season....clean, warm room. Easy check in (loved the vintage key in a plastic triangle key chain). Pretty view from our back balcony

The staff is exemplary! They make you feel so comfortable and are very friendly and family oriented. They also cater you your business needs as well. I didn't want to leave, and the access to the lake is easy. My family felt safe while we were there. We were very close to Cooperstown and all their activities. We're going back next week.
Simply put, Amazing time!
A must Stay for us!!!

Reasons this place is great:
1. It offers both motel rooms and full cottages to rent.
2. It is clean and well-maintained.
3. It offers kayak or canoes for free to guests.
4. It has a beach with loungers.
5. There is a fire pit.
6. Staff is helpful.
7. It is less than 10 minutes from Cooperstown.
8. Beds are comfortable.

We split our stay between a cottage and a motel room. I'm looking forward to staying here again in Cooperstown.

The rooms were clean, they did have an odor, and the staff were extremely helpful. Very glad we came here and will stay again if ever in the area.

Very happy with our stay here. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Beach was small but sandy.

Love this property!! We stay here for the view, the use of kayaks and canoes for free, fire pit and beach area, arcade room with pool table and family game / reading room. There is always something to do while on the property itself! The staff is always friendly and accommodating. So peaceful and serene and always a fantastic time!

great views, and welcoming staff . Beach is a small hike away ( certainly not horrible by any stretch) and its not huge but its maintained and inviting. Room was impeccably clean and well maintained. Although we didn't use them, plenty canoes and kayaks available for guests. Overall , a terrific place !

My family & I loved stayed here! Great place for a family as it was affordable, clean, comfortable, beautiful spot on the lake for swimming and looking at wildlife, friendly & helpful staff, perfect distance from town & attractions. Loved using the kayaks & canoes and enjoyed the arcade as well! Would definitely return!

The bed and pillows at this place are amazing. So comfortable for everyone in our family of four. Waking up to look out the window or sit on the balcony with a cup of coffee and watching the lake shimmer is awesome. I have to say that a great part of our stay was being able to get honest recommendations from the front desk staff. From places to eat and relax with a drink to the latest art exhibits and operas you can count on honest opinions from these ladies. Loved this place!

We had an awesome stay at Bayside. The room was so clean and comfortable. We were on the backside with a beautiful view of the Otsega Lake. We were just a few miles from the Cooperstown and the drive between the Inn and the Baseball Hall of Fame is stunning. We walked down to the beach and it is really nice. When we go back we will stay at Bayside and get one of their cabins. I would definitely be happy to recommend the Bayside to anyone. Thanks for the lovely stay.

This place was amazing! We rented a room with a patio. What an amazing view of the lake! Easy access for our kayaks to fish. The rooms were Super clean and I'm really picky. Coffee was made at 7 and was delish. Honestly I hate giving away a awesome secret spot but this place is above and beyond. We will definitely be back!!

They have more than earned a 5 star review. I am here presently with my dad to visit the baseball hall of fame. He has trouble walking and there was room for his trailer for his scooter wheelchair in parking. We are right in the lake. Have a balcony and chairs. I walk down to a private beach. For the price a private beach ? Lounge chairs a fire pit several gazebos picnic tables grills the best looking clean portapotty on the beach you will ever see in this lifetime ? I am still amazed which prompted me to write this review. I noticed kayaks on the beach and inquired about the price and when she said free and produced a paddle and life vest I realized I was in heaven. We drove to town and I have not yet spotted a place on the water that included access to a beach and kayaks and all these amenities that wasn’t a private cottage. I absolutely want to come back with my husband and kids. They also include a gaming room with pool table and arcade. Rooms are clean comfy and it’s set up where you won’t be bothered by your neighbors. You feel privacy and seclusion. You will not find a better place for your money. I wasn’t a big fan of the hall of fame but staying here made up for it.

Great clean room. Beautiful view. Super cool old school feel. Food within 10 minutes. Due to covid everywhere is understaffed so call to make sure it’s open because most places are closed at 8. Loved it and can’t wait to go back

Location was great! Right on Lake and you can rent their canoes and kayaks at no additional charge. Cottage was really quaint. Perfect for two people. I wouldn't put any more in than that. Only about 13 minute drive to Cooperstown which was where we spent most of our time. Will come back during summer months to enjoy it again and take advantage of the lake. Bayside offered packages for purchase on top of cottage rental. We opted for the mix and match museums. We received two tickets to Baseball Hall of Fame and Art museum, sample of fudge from Tin Bin(amazing and cute place), two coffee mugs and a gift certificate to DoubleDay Cafe(we ate there twice it was so good). Loved every minute of our visit.

We stayed 2 nights. It was extremely clean, quiet and cozy but offered more then enough space. They recycle, encourage using towles more then once, have a great arcade room with wicked sick older games, and the staff was polite, pleseant and fun. I'd stay there again anytime!!
