This was a getaway that was planned for seeing Cooperstown and all that the little town had to offer. The August Lodge is amazing and made this trip so much more than we could ever ask for. The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home every day. The views were spectacular and we spent our evenings on our patio watching the eagles soar around the mountains. Thank you August staff for making our birthday, anniversary and Mother’s Day vacation a lifetime of great memories.

Overall: It’s a beautiful property with a view for miles! Pros: The staff are lovely and very helpful. Each room has a great view over the hills. We had a cozy fire on the lobby and played board games.
Cons: it’s a rural property up so the shower water has a bit of a smell.
We came in October and I can’t can’t overstate how gorgeous the fall colours are from the property.
We had a great stay and would return for sure - but it’s already almost fully booked for next summer.

What a beautiful facility, and piece of property. We were visiting The Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, and this was a reasonable driving distance.
Our hosts were friendly and accommodating, the rooms were clean, and the views are awesome.
They even have a fire pit that overlooks the scenic hillside.
They had a continental breakfast in the morning as well.

Basic, but very good option in Cooperstown

We arrived later in the evening. The door would not open with the key, so the manager came and showed us a little \"trick\". The place is more \"motel-ish\" with outside stairs and doors. No interior access like a hotel. It is a little rustic, but seemed to be clean. They offered a very basic continental breakfast, which was a nice feature, but we were there on a cold rainy weekend and the seating area was not heated, so we had to take it back to our room. It was a nice, slightly lower cost option in Cooperstown and I would recommend it if you want to save a few dollars and still be in a clean room.

Overall, for a small locally owned property, it’s nice. There are some nice amenities like the kitchenette and patio with chairs, big outdoor pool, fire pit, swingset etc. Seems great for young families.

There were a few things that were just a little off. Mainly, housekeeping, even though I specifically requested it they didn’t touch our room and we had to go ask for towels. They only left half a roll of toilet paper on the room. The bath towels felt slimy, I literally couldn’t wait to leave so I could go take a shower elsewhere and feel clean. The room smelled musty. The walls and ceiling are very thin, we could hear the people next door and were woken up by the kids upstairs both mornings. Also the mattresses really need to be replaced very springy and uncomfortable.

For the cost, it was a good deal. I’m sure it’s a great place during the summer when all the outdoor amenities are usable. I’m not sure I would stay again jus because of the level of cleanliness and comfort of the room and bathroom.

This is a very quaint lodge away from the hustle and bustle of town. The staff was so friendly and nice.
We were here from Atlanta to see the Baseball Hall of Fame. They were helpful in other local sites.
Breakfast was a simple continental. Visiting in late October, that’s what we expected.
Deer came up into the yard. Sun rises and sun sets were beautiful.
If we ever come back, we will definitely stay at the August Lodge again.

We stayed for 2 nights. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made for a nice stay. The only issue we had was finding the access road to the lodge. The sign was hard to find and not sure which drive to follow, looks more like a private drive but once we got to the lodge, all was good and would definitely consider staying again, hopefully with the weather a bit warmer to enjoy the outside more.

I thought this location was a bit closer to Oneonta. One of our drives in was much more direct and less curvy, no matter what you are going to have some scenery. I really liked all the hand painted doors and wood trim. The towels were great, but the bedding was kind of basic. We enjoyed a very good coffee and a great view in the morning. If you like a simple breakfast you will be satisfied.

Beautiful area, but weak on service.

While the property is on a beautiful piece of land, we were disappointed with the service. There were only 3 customers at the hotel. We asked for a nice room with a view. The man at the counter said all the rooms are the same. Then he gave us a room facing where workers were putting up a wedding tent, instead of one overlooking the valley. We did not realize until the next day what the options could be, otherwise we would have asked to move.

We booked this hotel not sure whether it was truly decent or not. Had good reviews so we went with it. It truly was above expectations. It is lodge more than a hotel. The best part was the beautiful landscape in the mountains. It sits atop a mountain, so you can see out through the valley and horizon hilltops. So nice. My only complaint, was that the TV in the room did not work correctly. We could not control the TV with the remote nor turn it on or off. Other than that, I felt it was a great place to stay.

Anniversary Weekend Getaway

After seeing positive reviews about the August Lodge here on the site, I happily booked a room for our wedding anniversary trip. It did NOT disappoint. To start the staff was very friendly and greeted us warmly. They informed us of the continental breakfast and the common areas that we had access to.
August Lodge is a quaint place to say. And when they say lodge, they mean it. Outside the look is very woodsy and what you think of when you hear lodge, and once inside the lobby feels very cozy and decorated with a lodge/woodsy vibe.
Our room was very nice and very comfortable. It was very clean and had plenty of space for the two of us. The small kitchenette was stocked with pots, pans, cooking utensils, flatware, silverware, drinking glasses, dish soap and a sponge. The coffee maker was a great touch as well. Each room has it's own balcony that overlooks the surrounding woods (ours faced the driveway, but the hallway balcony overlooked the property which was fine.)
Our only issue is the walls are pretty thin. We could hear people running through the hall, muffled conversations from neighboring rooms, and we even could hear a gentleman next door coughing rather loudly.
Overall, August Lodge gives the feel of an Air B&B rather than your average hotel. It is definitely on our list of places to stay the next time we're in Cooperstown.

I have not been up to the Cooperstown area since I was a small child, so making these reservations were a bit of a shot in the dark. I was immediately relieved when I pulled up the drive and saw a clean, well groomed lawn with ample parking. The building is impressive from the outside. The young gentleman at the desk was so very nice and helpful, answered any of our questions we had. The room was so spacious. Clean, airy, you name it. There's a small deck outstide of the room and the view you get with the sunrise/set is unbeatable. We were well stocked with everything that we needed, and if we needed more, they were very helpful in getting us what we need. The pool was clean, quiet and very comfortable as well. You can tell that the owners of this property care about their guests and their experiences. Thank you, August Lodge, for giving us a nice, relaxing weekend away!

The staff was absolutely wonderful and the place was beautiful. We were there off-seaso. So it was quiet, the breakfast was small, but there was tea and coffee. The water is well water, which is noticeably different feom city water, but it is not a bad trade-off for the view and seclusion. We had water bottles for brushing teeth. Since most of the attractions closed by 6 (off season), we went back and were able to sit out by the fire, brought our own stuff for S'mores and enjoyed the view and quiet. I definitely would recommend this to everyone and can't wait to go back!

*and we did the Rail Explorers one morning which is pedal-powered electric bikes on old railroad tracks which we would highly recommend!
