Step back in time with this extraordinary turn-of-the-century gem, originally the first courthouse of Otsego County. This historic property, rich in heritage and charm, is now available for the first time in years-�a rare opportunity to bring your vision to life. Once serving as Otsego Countys original seat and courthouse, this remarkable building later became Reid's Inn, then the Poplar Inn, and most recently, the Otsego Lake Inn. Today, it stands as a private home, beloved for hosting reunions, receptions, and intimate gatherings. Boasting seven bedrooms several of which have access to the second floor enclosed sleeping porch, and four well-appointed bathrooms. This expansive home also features a grand game room known as the Saloon, a formal dining room that comfortably seats 16, and a stately reception parlor.
