Nelson Avenue Pines B&B

Nelson Avenue Pines B&B is a Victorian bed and breakfast in Cooperstown, set in a home from the 1870s. The guest rooms are spacious and decorated in country French style with antiques, and each has a private bath. It’s an easy base for a Cooperstown getaway centered on the lake and the village.

The location is a big part of the appeal: the Otesaga Hotel, tennis courts, Leatherstocking Golf Course and Otsego Lake are just across the street, and the museums, shops and restaurants are a pleasant walk away. A wraparound porch with white wicker looks out on the lake, and breakfast is a French countryside spread with freshly roasted coffee, daily baked specialties and seasonal fruit.
