Aalsmeer Motel & Cottages

Five wooded acres along the west shore of Otsego Lake, about seven miles north of Main Street in Cooperstown, are the setting for Aalsmeer Motel & Cottages, a family resort. The motel and cottages sit well back from the road, all with lake views.

The property runs from the highway down to the lake, with a dock and beach. Kayaks, canoes, pontoon boats and small fishing boats can be rented from local businesses, delivered, and kept at the dock. The resort is described as safe for children and is pet friendly.
