The Front of the Otesaga Resort Hotel in the Fall

Are you planning a leaf peeping vacation this fall?  Most leaf peepers tend to visit the New England area, and, as a result, the resorts and hotels tend to be at peak rates and occupancy.  If you’d rather visit somewhere off the beaten path, consider the Upper Catskills Mountains which still boasts fabulous foliage but without the crowds.

The historic (101-year old!) Otesaga Resort Hotel is a great location for your fall foliage vacation.  Located only four hours from New York City in Cooperstown, it offers 135 elegant rooms including 20 suites.  There is free high-speed internet access in each room, along with deluxe amenities like luxurious linens and toiletries.  The resort also offers pool and lake swimming, canoe rentals, a fitness center, tennis, and many other fabulous outdoor activities.

Cooperstown itself is a great Americana destination, offering the world-famous National Baseball Hall of Fame.  There are also several museums in the area including the Farmer’s Museum, and the Fenimore Art Museum.

If you are planning a leaf peeping trip, don’t delay in booking.  An abnormally hot summer is leading to leaves turning color faster than normal.  In fact, in many areas, leaves have already started to turn!
