The only places to stay around Glimmerglass are these small motels. This was a lovely surprise. The room was very clean and the owner is so nice. There is a nice backyard to this place that has a pavilion, a fireplace and games. Very family oriented.

We had a wonderful two night stay at the Meadowlark. There is everything you need for a comfortable stay at your fingertips. The rooms are spotlessly clean. And Austin is a fabulous host! He makes a great breakfast for his guests every morning with warm conversation. This motel has more of a bed and breakfast feeling with cozy vibes. I highly recommend and would definitely return!

The Meadowlark Inn is our new favorite place to stay while visiting Cooperstown! Austin is an amazing host whose waffles are a breakfast delight :) He was a gracious host and truly loves his property and his guests. Snacks were provided as well as anything we may have forgotten while on the road. He has a wealth of knowledge about the surrounding area and has created a comfortable and welcoming space for families and friends alike. We will be back next summer and can't wait to be welcomed "home" Highly recommend

Austin is the best host a traveler can have. Helped with bags, did laundry and good breakfast. Only negative is the internet is very slow and I’m sure Austin will get that taken care of.

Our family of five (2 adults and 3 kids) really enjoyed our stay at the Meadowlark Inn. It's a small but we'll maintained establishment just off one of the main roads. As you can see from the pictures, there is a lot of space for kids to run around outside including a well maintained baseball field! Austin is a fantastic host. He goes out of his way to make you feel at home. The Inn is also 15 min from Cooperstown so it's a great place to stay if you are planning a trip to the baseball hall of fame. We highly recommend the Meadowlark Inn!
