Inn at Cooperstown

This gorgeous, yellow Victorian inn dates from 1874, and with no TVs or phones in the rooms, it remains a great place to get away from it all. A classic inn without a trace of pretension (and with amazingly affable innkeepers), it's right off of Main Street and just a short walk from the Hall of Fame. The hotel was the first designed by Henry J. Hardenbergh, who went on to design New York City's Plaza Hotel. The grand dreams he had are more apparent outside of the inn, with its extravagant facade and sweeping veranda (where guests can often be found relaxing in rocking chairs in the afternoon, sipping complimentary iced tea or lemonade). The inside has a very cozy feel: Rooms are by no means enormous but they're comfortable (though some have quite small showers). Upgrade to the premium rooms, which have been beautifully redone with four-poster beds and plush furnishings, or to the two-bedroom luxury suite, which is on two floors, with a fireplace, flatscreen television, and a private entrance.
