    I had a late check in so notified the inn keeper aproximate time I was arriving. He was thankful for that. I was alone so was a little nervous expecially since I arrived in the later evening. The inn keeper was very friendly and informative about cooperstown, I felt at ease as soon as I met him and his family. Everything was very clean. Breakfast the next day was delicious, I would go back again.

    Great room with a view of Doubleday field

    I have stayed 3 times now with Jim and Charlene at 1805 Phinney House. This Inn is part of the original Phinney farm, where the historic Doubleday Field is now located. (I play ball there with the Baltimore Orioles baseball camp) My room has a view of the field, which is important to me as a baseball nut. The room is quite comfortable and the Inn is nice. Jim and Charlene are avid Red Sox fans, super friendly, so feel comfortable lounging around in the living room or chatting at breakfast (a good breakfast indeed) about the National Pastime. Also, you don't have to love just baseball; I've met folks from all over the country who also stay at this Inn to go to the Opera House and other points of interest. Everything is walking distance as the Hall of Fame and Main Street are just a long fly ball away. My testament and recommendation is only the best, as I said earlier, I've stayed each and every time with Jim and Charlene at 1805 Phinney House!!!

    Jim and Charlene are wonderful hosts. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed and the breakfasts are outstanding. It is within walking distance of almost everything to do in Cooperstown. We have stayed there each of the last 5 years and always look forward to our next visit.

Great family, delicious breakfasts, beautiful clean rooms, friendly atmosphere and a close walk to downtown (no worries about finding parking). You can't go wrong staying at the 1805 Phinney House!! Try it, you'll like it!!

    The 1805 Phinney House is the best BnB in Cooperstown. You are very close to the Baseball Hall of Fame as well as downtown shops. Above the fact that you are in walking distance to everything in town the house is a warm and friendly place to stay. It truly is home away from home when I stay with Jim and Charlene. They make you feel right at home with their family. Charlene's breakfast is worth the stay alone. I have stayed at this BnB for four years now and I would place it above the rest as far as clean, warm feel, great breakfast and all around enjoyable stay. You can not go wrong by staying with the Vrooman and the 1805 Phinney House. JB Virginia
