About this property

The Lily Pad - Hunter, NY

NEW! Welcome to The Lily Pad – Your Spring & Summer Escape in the Catskills

Named after our adventurous mini Aussie, Lily, this cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath roundhouse retreat offers a one-of-a-kind stay just 10 minutes from Hunter Mountain and Kaaterskill Falls. Surrounded by trees and mountain air, The Lily Pad is the perfect home base for hiking, waterfall chasing, swimming holes, scenic drives, and exploring the charming towns of the Catskills.

Inside, the home’s unique circular design creates a warm and inviting atmosphere filled with natural light. Relax on the green velvet sofa after a day outdoors, stream a movie on the projector, or enjoy a slow morning with coffee overlooking the peaceful yard. The fully equipped kitchen makes cooking easy, while both bedrooms offer soft linens and cozy spaces to unwind after a day of adventure.

Step outside and enjoy everything the warmer seasons have to offer. Sip your morning coffee on the deck, grill and dine outdoors, or gather around the firepit under the stars at night. The property is surrounded by nature, making it the perfect place to disconnect, listen to birdsong, and enjoy quiet mountain evenings.

The Lily Pad is family- and pet-friendly, with thoughtful amenities including children’s dinnerware, books, games, and a Pack ’n Play. You'll also find plush towels, essential toiletries, Wi-Fi, Roku TV, in-home laundry, and individual room thermostats for year-round comfort.

Adventure is always close by. Spend the day hiking nearby trails, visiting local farmers' markets, browsing small mountain shops, relaxing at cafés and breweries, or cooling off at nearby lakes and waterfalls. Hunter Mountain hosts festivals, scenic sky rides, and outdoor events throughout the warmer months, while nearby towns like Tannersville and Woodstock offer plenty to explore.

Whether you’re planning a peaceful nature retreat, a romantic weekend away, or a fun getaway with family and friends, The Lily Pad offers the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and Catskills adventure.

This is a great little property. Very cozy and very recently redecorated. Nicely appointed with just about anything you need. A beautiful wood-burning stove in the sitting area and a wonderful firepit in the yard. The host is very easy to work with and really made this place feel perfect. There is even a basket of puzzles and games to suit every age.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Fredes

Host profile image
We’re Maria & Lily (our mini Aussie), and we love sharing our little slice of the Catskills with fellow nature lovers. I grew up valuing time outdoors, and this home is a dream come true—a place to slow down, hike, stargaze, and make memories. Hosting lets me share local tips, hidden gems, and all the cozy touches that make a getaway special. Nothing makes me happier than knowing guests leave feeling rested, connected, and inspired.

Why they chose this property

It's a peaceful, tucked-away feel while still being just minutes from the best of the Catskills. Here, mornings start with birdsong and fresh mountain air, and days can be filled with hiking, chasing waterfalls, or exploring nearby charming towns. We love that Hunter Mountain, Kaaterskill Falls, and scenic drives are so close—yet at night, you can return to quiet skies filled with stars. It’s the perfect blend of nature, adventure, and small-town charm.

What makes this property unique

The Lily Pad is a rare roundhouse retreat in the heart of the Catskills.
Surrounded by nature and just 10 minutes from Hunter Mountain & Kaaterskill Falls, it’s designed for all seasons: cozy by the wood fireplace in fall/winter, relax under starry skies by the firepit in spring/summer. Family- and pet-friendly, with thoughtful touches, a projector for movie nights, and a one-of-a-kind circular layout you won’t find anywhere else.
