A landmark of gracious hospitality.

A magnificent, Federal-style structure with an imposing front portico supported by massive 30-foot columns, The Otesaga occupies 700 feet of lakefront on the southern shore of Lake Otsego, the famed “Glimmerglass” of James Fenimore Cooper’s novels. Since 1909 The Otesaga has been known as a landmark of gracious hospitality in an inspiring lakeside setting.

Selected as a member of the prestigious Historic Hotels of America by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, The Otesaga is reminiscent of a more genteel era. The Otesaga continues to receive the coveted AAA Four Diamond Award for providing exceptional accommodations, excellent service and an elegant atmosphere.
