Bayside Inn & Marina

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.

Front office personal argued about information posted on their website when we were checking in. I stated their website said they did not provide beach towels, she argued it stated the opposite. I’ve included a screen shot from their website. It was simply surprised when she said they were provided since I had read they were not. No need to argue with me, I don’t know why she felt that necessary.nnI had called months ahead of my stay to inquire about swimming or water skiing in the lake, the woman was short with me and seemed annoyed. If you read the other low rated reviews the responses support the argumentative nature of this person. Again, not sure why any professional would behave that why towards paying guests.nn3 stars for the space, pillows and accommodations. Plenty of towels in the bathroom for our large party of 7. The view was lovely and they had plenty of space outside for bbq’ing and for the kids to play. The cleaning staff was friendly and replaced towels emptied trash when asked. The area is absolutely beautiful and the beach is relaxing. We enjoyed the mornings looking out over the large from the deck of our cottage.nnThe pull out couch in our cottage was in need of replacement, my son slept with his head far below his feet as the support structure is stretched out and no longer holding the head of the mattress in line with the rest .nnThe cooler smelled old an musty, 3 of our guests came down with sinus issues days after checking in (two of them cut their trip early and went home due to severe sinus pain and headaches). Once it was cool enough to open the windows at night things improved.nnTwo extra box fans were in the cottage closet and helped keep it cool along with the ceiling fan.nnFor the price I would have expected more, for the location and time of year it seems to be reasonable.nnUpdate*** As you can see by the owner’s response, they are argumentative.nnI didn’t want to bother with being argued with over the issues, you already had our money.nnYes, I wanted to stay in “that big hotel”. Sad I didn’t but I will next time I visit Cooperstown.nMaybe try not to be so hurt by people’s comments that weren’t directed at you? No one said anything for you to hear, why would you even care if we wanted to stay somewhere else?nnYour staff set the tone for our trip by being uninterested in answering questions and arguing when I commented about website information. Why? Isn’t it in your interest to be polite and helpful? Wouldn’t you want to know if your website gave the wrong impression? I gave an honest review without malice, just the truth of our stay.nn-1 star for the unprofessional response.

A great place to stay! Nice rooms and the staff is wonderful!
