The White House Inn

I stayed here back in October the night before an interview. Cooperstown was extremely beautiful/​pleasant this time of year with the fall foliage and harvest related events. I was extremely impressed when I first arrived at the inn. To be honest I don’t have many experiences with bed and breakfast inns but I was immediately charmed by this place. I was welcomed by a very pleasant young lady who was the inn-​keep that evening. I believe I stayed in the «red room.» The room was beautiful with a very large king size bed. Everything very clean. There was a small maybe 32′ flatscreen T.V. w basic cable provided as well. The room is decorated with old books which gave it a cool feel — although none of the books looked like very interesting reads. The private bathroom was 5 star hotel quality, cleanly kept, with soft towels and all of the basic toiletries provided. Although you have an entirely private room and bathroom, there is also a shared common area with the adjacent room on the 2^nd level — however I did not use this space during my stay. A standard American breakfast was provided downstairs with fruits, scrambled eggs, bacon/​sausage, English muffins, and I believe I also had a slice of pound cake. This was all cooked and served by a pleasant gentleman at about 7am although he may have been cooking earlier before I got down there.
The very few negatives about this place were: floor creaked a lot when walking on it – to be expected for an older structure, but also adds to the antiquated charm of the inn. The bed frame squeaked a lot even with very subtle movements and I found this a little bit annoying as I fell asleep.
I would definitely recommend to others especially couples of any age group looking to enjoy a charming night and morning within a quiet but fun little town in upstate New York. If I return to Cooperstown I am highly likely to stay at this place again.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the WhiteHouse Inn at Cooperstown, brown room –hospitality was wonderful!

Lovely and charming B & B. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the whole home full of stunning antiques. The proprietors couldn’t have been more charming, friendly and extremely accommodating. The breakfast was delicious. We stayed over Valentine’s weekend and it was romantic and perfect. We stayed in the blue room with a fireplace. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back again soon.

My wife and I wanted a location within walking distance to the Baseball Hall of Fame, but off of the Main Street so it would be quieter. The White House Inn offered this and more. A great and quaint location with a very friendly staff; plus the breakfast each morning was tasty and filling!

this is a first class b&b. excellent breakfast, friendly service, very clean, very well maintained, quite, relaxing. i would return.

We stayed in the carriage house. It was very comfortable, clean, and quiet. Breakfast was terrific. Ed the owner was a hoot and full of great stories and info. They just need more parking.

The White House Inn of Cooperstown NY is warm and cozy. From the moment you walk through the door you are met with sweet smells of home baked goodies, and if you are lucky enough to be there in the winter, the fireplace in the common area is beautifully lit and begging for you to come and relax in front of the fire. Our room, on the second floor has a king size bed that my husband and I melted into. If the ambiance and the abundant scrumptious breakfast is not enough to entice you to book a room immediately, your hosts at the White House Inn will win you over. This trip was a surprise for my husband, who had no idea where he was flying for his birthday until the morning of the flight, nor did he know his brother was going to surprise him in Cooperstown. All of the planning was so secretive that I requested many things of our hosts… my husband was not to know a thing. Not only were they on board with the whole surprise thing, they made sure the staff knew not to say a word about his brother showing up. Champagne glasses were waiting for a toast; wine I requested was in my room, along with chocolate covered strawberries (an added treat from the hosts). The look on my husband’s face when his brother and sister-​in-​law arrived, priceless. I won’t stay anywhere else when visiting Cooperstown, and if you are smart… you won’t either.

I stayed here while in Cooperstown this past week and this was a very, very nice place to stay. The innkeeper was super friendly and very helpful. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and they had free wi-​fi. The breakfast in the morning was eggs benedict and they were really good. I would definitely stay here again!

The owners and innkeeper were super friendly, available, and helpful. Breakfast was FANTASTIC! The room was comfortable, and the place is centrally located. Would definitely go back. Thanks Ed, Margie and Patty for a fun stay!

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved our stay at the White House Inn, and if we are ever back, we will definitely be staying here again.
The Inn is charming inside and out with several staircases, winding hallways, nooks, and crannies. Our room, «the green room» was perfect with high end furnishings that you would see in a five star hotel and a little fireplace.
The entire staff make you feel at home as soon as you step into the inn. They treat you as if you are family finally making time to visit.
The breakfast was also outstanding! If White House Inn was a restaurant, I would be eating there every weekend. Over the three days, we had a first course of baked apples and fresh pineapple, both a real treat. We were then served mini muffins: cherry, cinnamon, and orange cranberry. Our main course ranged from eggs benedict to lemon pancakes with triple berry sauce to baked French toast depending on the day Juice and coffee flowed freely, and everyone sitting around the breakfast table had wonderful conversation between bites of delicious food.
The Inn is located within a short walking distance from downtown Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Fame. You can also walk to the lake from downtown and enjoy the picturesque view.
Because my boyfriend loves baseball, we will surely be visiting Cooperstown again. And, we will be staying at the White House Inn.
Note — If you do stay here, be sure to check out the Inn’s Hall of Fame located on wall next to the first floor staircase. The wall features signatures of famous baseball players and other celebrity guests who have stayed at the Inn.
