Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Allen!

Timeless, elegant and beautifully personal. Elizabeth and Roy’s black tie celebration brought together everything we love about weddings at The Otesaga, from a ceremony overlooking Otsego Lake to a celebration surrounded by the people who matter most.

Thank you, Elizabeth and Roy, for trusting our team to be part of your wedding day. We wish you a lifetime of happiness together.

Some of the best memories are made together.

A morning on the green, a little friendly competition and plenty of encouragement along the way.

Just steps from The Otesaga, Leatherstocking Golf Course offers 18 holes along the shores of Otsego Lake, with a setting made for sharing the game with someone you love.

Because sometimes the best part of a round has nothing to do with the score.

A familiar view from the East Terrace.

Framed by stately columns and the historic architecture of The Otesaga, the East Terrace has been part of the resort’s character for generations.

It is one of the many spaces that gives The Otesaga Resort Hotel its unmistakable sense of place, where more than a century of history continues to be part of the experience today.

Find your pace at The Otesaga Resort Hotel.

Some mornings call for a little movement and a beautiful view by the lake.

Our weekly resort activities offer guests another way to experience life on Otsego Lake, from yoga overlooking the water to time spent enjoying the outdoors.

Looking for even more to experience? Our calendar of special events brings something new to each stay, including our Full Moon Hike & Dinner, an evening of guided exploration, dinner and time beneath the moonlit sky.

Some things are worth preserving.

One of the comments we hear most from returning guests is how familiar The Otesaga Resort Hotel feels, even after years away.

As a privately owned historic resort, that continuity is something we’re proud of. This photograph from our archives offers a glimpse into an earlier life at The Otesaga, yet so much of its character remains recognizable today.

Through thoughtful updates and careful stewardship, we’ve worked to preserve the architecture, details and sense of place that generations of guests have come to know.

More than a century later, still unmistakably Otesaga.

Happy National Photography Day.

Some places just ask to be photographed. The cupola at first light, the porch in afternoon shadow, the lake holding the whole property still. We have been giving people a reason to reach for the camera since 1909.

There is a point above Otsego Lake where the whole valley comes into view at once. The water, the village of Cooperstown, the fairways at Leatherstocking Golf Course, and the resort sitting quietly at the center of it, since 1909.

This is the lake James Fenimore Cooper called the Glimmerglass. We just call it home.

A familiar face is back at The Otesaga.

Dwight Sanford has rejoined our team as Executive Director of Resort Operations. Many here remember Dwight from the 2021 and 2022 seasons, when he helped shape the guest experience and mentored the people around him. In the years since, he served as General Manager of the Embassy Suites Atlanta Buckhead, following leadership roles with Waldorf Astoria, Rosewood, and Four Seasons.

His focus now returns to the heart of the property: our Rooms Division, and the front office, housekeeping, and laundry teams whose care guests feel from the moment they arrive.

Welcome back, Dwight. It is good to have you home.

From above, the eighteenth tells the whole story: the island tee, the bridge across the water, the fairway bending along Otsego Lake, and beyond it, the hotel that has watched over this course since 1909.

A course holds up like this because people make it. To our subscribers, to the men's and women's leagues who fill these fairways week after week, and to the grounds crew who arrive before the first tee time and stay long after the last, thank you. Leatherstocking is rated among the finest courses in New York, and it earns that every day because of you.
