The Cottage Hotel

In 1822, the Cottage Hotel officially opened its doors as a lively stagecoach inn at the four corners of Mendon hamlet in Upstate New York. Since then, it has been a warm and welcoming haven for travelers and local folks alike. If you've been lucky enough to visit The Cottage, you already know what a special place it is. Some say it is a mystical portal between the past and the future where strangers quickly become friends, and friends soon feel like family. Here, for the first time, is the unvarnished truth of the illustrious, mysterious, (and sometimes notorious) history of the Cottage Hotel.
