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.

Thoughtfully appointed
So often I've stayed in rental homes that look instagram worthy, but once you check in you can tell the hosts have never spent a night in the rental. Not so here! Every detail has been thought of, and it makes for a wonderfully comfortable stay. There's enough space for your toiletries, your groceries, and for your things. The kitchen has everything you need to cook some simple meals and there's no long list of chores to do before check out. I'm dreaming about my next stay in this lovely cottage already.

Great place near Ashokan and Woodstock
We spent 3 days at Jim and May's place - it was the first time we had gone away since our new baby arrived. It was the perfect spot for a few days to enjoy the beauty of the Ashokan Reservoir and the fun of Woodstock (only a 20 min Dr) Jim and May were so gracious, super communicative and were the perfect hosts. The outdoor space with a porch swing was so enjoyable for our little one. It was also super dog friendly which is so so hard to find up in the Hudson valley.

Visiting the Catskills for the first, but not the last time. This cottage was well equipped, quiet and very comfortable for our 2 night stay. We will return when we have more time to explore the Darhling towns all within 30 minutes drive

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!

Ideal place to stay in the Catskills!
I couldn't recommend Lily Cottage enough. It's situated about 20 minutes from Woodstock and about 30 from New Paltz, so there's a lot to do, whether it's hiking or visiting shops and restaurants. You pass the Ashokan Reservoir on the way from Olivebridge to nearby towns and it's always a breathtaking sight. I recommend checking out the Davenport Farms stand for fresh produce on the way in. The cottage was very cozy, thoughtfully appointed, and immaculately clean. The cottage is stocked with just about everything you might need, but there's a Dollar General just ten minutes away too. Jim was very responsive and kind. We had no issues whatsoever, but I'm confident he would have been quick to respond if we had. Overall, it was the perfect stay! We're already dreaming about the next time we can visit!

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.

Best Place to Relax & Recharge
Wanted to get away for a little “stay in” vacation and also had a concert to go to at Bethel Woods. The cottage was absolutely adorable. Hands down would stay here again. Was easy to find and the surrounding drives were beautiful. Inside was a perfect and had everything I could have needed. Grocery store was about 20 minutes away and easy to get to. Bethel Woods was about 1 hour 20 min but not a bad drive at all if you like country roads. Owners were really nice too and even checked on me during some heavy rainstorms. All in all is an excellent place and I highly recommend staying here.

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 escape from NYC
My partner and I are teachers in NYC and wanted to take little break from the stress. This property and specific area is perfect for such an occasion. I was drawn by the simplicity of this property. It's in a quiet area, with many beautiful hiking trails in a close proximity. It seems very small on the outside, but is very roomy inside. The owners of this property are very attentive to detail. They communicated promptly with me and answered all my questions. The overall experience was very smooth and relaxing. I can't say anything went wrong, because everything was so well thought out. I appreciate everything that was provided to us and would recommend anyone visiting this place at any time of the year.

From first contact to follow-up, Jim & Melissa were fabulously clear & communicative, super accommodating, and just overall sweet, kind, thoughtful folk! And their clean, comfy, quiet and convenient-to-our-needs cottage was ‘just what the doctor ordered’. I hope their Lily Cottage will be available next time i’m in the area… i’d love to stay there again!! Thanks so much you two!!🙏💕
