The White House Inn B & B

The White House Inn B & B is a bed and breakfast in Cooperstown’s historic district, a minute’s walk from the village’s museums, shops and restaurants. The 19th-century Classic Greek Revival home was built by George Bowne, a reputed pirate who made his fortune on the waters off the southern coast of the United States.

Guests get on-site parking, a private garden with an in-ground pool, and a gathering room with a fireplace for cool evenings, plus a parlor for reading. Rooms have private baths, and breakfast is a full meal with treats fresh from the oven each day. Bowne retired to Cooperstown, a village on the shore of Otsego Lake.
