Lily Cottage - a cozy accomodation moments from the beautiful Ashokan reservoir

Tuck up in a thoughtfully renovated 1950s one bedroom cottage, perfect for a solo or couple’s Catskill getaway!

Situated in a quiet hamlet, nights in are lit by starlight and serenaded by peepers. Perfectly hemmed in by the Ashokan reservoir, hiking, and the rail trail.

The interior features a mix of vintage furnishings along with modern comforts. Up to a 25 minute drive takes you to Rosendale, Stone Ridge, Kingston or Woodstock for shops, breweries & excellent dining options.

One bedroom with a new queen sized bed, space to store your luggage and unpack, a full bathroom with shower, tub and a washer/dryer.
A complete kitchen with microwave, basic spices and cookware.
Town of Olive Registration # STR-22-23

A cozy, perfectly-appointed cabin! I want to come back for a longer stay. Every possible detail and comfort, including washer-dryer (and detergent), fully equipeed kitchen, and all needed supplies, spices and condiments. Perfect lighting, good taste, lovely yard with outdoor furnishings. The kicker was the guitar and ukelele hanging in the closet with the sign "Yes you may." A perfect location if you are attending the Ashokan Center, visiting Woodstock or just exploring the beauties of the area.

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!
