Brookside Inn At Laurens

Everything you could hope for in a B&B, beautiful setting, wonderful hosts, and great food.

We made last minute plans to travel to Cooperstown and found that everything in town was booked. We don’t stay at B&Bs — this may be our first ever, so we booked a room here with some trepidation. I’m a fan of four and five star hotels with amenities. But the website looked inviting and we were so happy to arrive and find a lovely property with wonderful hosts!
Our room was newly completed, very clean and comfortable. Lori’s attention to detail is unsurpassed. The rooms are thoughtfully decorated and supplied with all of the amenities one might need. There is a lovely gathering room that she keeps stocked with snacks and coffee at all times of the day. The breakfast was quite good. Dave makes great hash browns!
I can’t recommend this B&B enough. The only thing that would make it better would be if it were closer to Cooperstown, but the 20 minute drive is easy and pleasant.
So friendly and considerate. We plan to return!

Our second visit over Thanksgiving weekend was even better than our first visit 2 years ago. Both Lori & Dave are still wonderful hosts and it was fun spending an evening with them and Lori’s sister and brother-​in-​law. Dave’s still a great cook with his new Amaretto French Toast which was fantastic. And, he shared his recipe for home fries. Lori creates such a homey area and her decorating is inspiring. They continue to make improvements throughout the house — we just loved the upstairs sitting room! Melita & Bill G
