Enjoyable stay!

Lily Cottage worked out perfectly for my wife and myself. It was clean, quiet, and amenities were as described in the listing. It was a scenic 20 minute drive to Woodstock, the Ashokan bike trail, and Phoenicia. Recommended!

Catskill getaway

Just as expected. Met Jim, our host on the day of our arrival and he was a real nice and friendly guy. Cottage was clean, comfy and very nice. We did not get to enjoy the outside fire pit, but it was there for us. A great place to stay, right in the center of where we wanted to be. We will be returning; hopefully many times in the future.

Decompression

I was attending an event at Ashokan Center and preferred a private room. Lily Cottage suited my needs very well, being close to Ashokan but giving me the space to relax privately at the end of the day. The cottage was tastefully and thoughtfully appointed and very comfortable.

Country Cottage

Delightful cozy cottage close to the Ashokan Reservoir…a beautiful area in the Catskill Mountain region! The Ashokan Rail Trail and walking opportunities at the Reservoir were close by. The furnishings were very comfortable and adequate. The owner was very friendly and readily available to answer any questions. Enjoyed our stay!

Cozy cottage

Celebrated our wedding anniversary with a weekend away here. Very convenient to pretty much everything in the area. Cottage was immaculate, comfortable, and quiet! Wind chimes outside captured a windy night like a little symphony (if you're a light sleeper I'd recommend ear plugs just in case!). I'd come back to Lily Cottage in a heartbeat if I was spending another weekend up here.

Relaxing girls weekend

My sister and I had the pleasure of staying at the charming lily cottage over a long weekend. The cottage is in a tranquil setting while being minutes from the reservoir, Woodstock, Kingston, and of course the wonderful hiking in the Catskills. The cottage itself is perfectly appointed with everything you might need and we loved the retro appliances. The bed is very comfortable and the outdoor swing made a Friday night all the more relaxing. Jim and May are gracious hosts who have thought of everything and we would love to stay again in the future!
