    Charming B&B in a serene, gorgeous setting. Excellent breakfast and wonderful warm hosts. Lovely heated pool. We are already planning to return for a longer stay next time. Enjoy!

    My wife and I have been staying at the Inn twice per year since 2018 and have some of our finest memories there. Our recent stay in July of 2025 was our first visit under new ownership. I am so pleased to report that the Inn is better than ever! Our room (The Dogwood) has been our go to since our first stay and it was cleaned and prepared to perfection! The new owners, Rom and Maria and the manager Randy were fantastic! As we were checking in, the most wonderful woman came over and asked us if we needed anything - we were under the impression she was a staff member - as we spoke, and had a wonderful conversation we realized it was Maria the owner! The service, cleanliness and atmosphere were fantastic, our amazing dinners at nearby Solana, lunches at the General store, and shopping in Wurtsboro rounded out another fabulous trip! We have already made our reservations for two stays in 2026!

    We stayed at the Inn for the first time eon June 2025 for five nights. We found out that the current owners only owned the property for one month. Maria is a joy to be around and we couldn't wait to see her each morning at the continental breakfast. The breakfast isn't like any we have ever seen. Cereal yogurt, every type of bread and muffins are typical however the meat wrapped mozzarella, cheese, and meat platters, fruit galore, even salmon and smoked fish were at the breakfast table. Maria also ran to cook a hot offering every morning. We had the best scrambled eggs with cheese and tomatoes our first morning. Maria is not settling for 2nd best for this Inn. Our suite was beautiful when we walked in however the Inn is being upscaled with new carpeting, furniture, painting, new pool heater, etc. The Inn and property is beautiful but I cannot wait to see what Maria and her husband will do with the renovations. Randy, the Inn manager, made us feel welcomed the minute we walked in. We highly recommend visiting this Inn and taking the time to speak to the owners, manager, and staff. They all made our trip very special.

    This was our 1st trip to the Inn. We had heard it was under new ownership and didn't know what to expect. It turns out that a family is running the Inn> We met the matriarch at our 1st breakfast and Marie was amazing. We felt right at home. They are in the midst of a major renovation and can't wait to come back. Location is 5 min from Monticello, 20 in from Bethel and the casino. We hopped to several other towns bu were only there for 3 days, so well have to come back and explore more. Lake Joseph is gorgeous.
  • Elizabeth Bari
    the Inn at Lake Joseph was an unbeatable stay. The accommodations were incredibly comfortable. The staff exceeded our expectations and facilitated many enjoyable experiences. Our stay was the best little unexpected family reunion!! We wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Inn again or recommend to a family.

  • Anna Armstrong
    What a beautiful place to stay and relax with family! I loved how cozy and peaceful it felt throughout out stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and went abov and beyond to provide exceptional service. Breakfast felt like a tea party - there were so many options, and everything was presented so delicately. My family and I especially enjoyed the fire pit - it was a perfect spot to chill and the family to all be together. The lake, just a short walk from the inn, was absolutely stunning. What more could you ask for? This place was truly a blessing to stay at, and I'd love to go back again!
  • Kate C.
    We had a wonderful stay at the Inn at Lake Joseph! The entire staff was warm and attentive from the moment we arrived. Maria, the owner, cooks a delicious breakfast herself each morning, which was a real highlight. The rooms were clean and spacious, and honestly the whole property was spotless. Such a relaxing getaway with genuine hospitality!
  • Mary M
    My sister and I recently spent a few nights at this historic registered Inn. We were looking for a place that was not a typical hotel crowded with people and we found this gem! It was such a serene visit with a clean pool and brand new huge hot tub with rooms that were oversized. We had a balcony for wild life and bird viewing. This was a summer visit and Maria and Rom served the most amazing homemade breakfast spread every single day. Their hospitality was beyond ordinary! For the July 4th they grilled out on the lawn and we enjoyed food and a beautiful view while sitting in the adirondack chairs under the trees of this amazing large property nestled in the woods. It was more than relaxing, it was energizing and provided us time to just talk and enjoy life without the hustle bustle scene of hotels. The lake has several row boats for use and there are trails for walking in he woods. The area and buildings have a history that was shared and is kept alive through their restoration project. I will return because it is not a far distance from Sam's Pointe hike and other places to get extreme exercise, if you crave that. There were several restaurants in the area that served authentic Italian food and a pizzeria that was amazing. Treat yourself!
  • Pam
    What a lovely place! Loved the historic architecture with the modern Accommodations. Very comfortable and charming. Maria and Rom are amazing hosts and provided an incredible breakfast with such variety and delicious tastes. A definite repeat!!
  • Jean Howard
    The quintessential peaceful getaway. This resort offers plenty of walking trails, a beautiful lake and a lovely swimming pool. It's a perfect place to unwind. The rooms are charming and immaculate. The owners add a truly special personalized touch to the entire experience. Their warmth, hospitality and attention to detail are exceptional. They go above and beyond to ensure that you feel welcomed and well cared for. Can't wait to return in the fall!
  • LD
    Beautiful and serene inn in the Catskills. The new owners are obviously dedicated to creating a stunning sanctuary, and as other reviewers have commented, they are very welcoming and hospitable. Great communication before and during your stay, a delicious extensive buffet breakfast, and cozy, clean suites. We were also impressed with the groundskeeper, a friendly and rightfully proud young man who clearly loves his responsibilities maintaining the meticulous and attractive property. Will definitely return!
  • Jan
    Spent two nights at the Inn- perfect place to stay when attending a concert at Bethel Woods. The grounds are beautiful, and our room was spacious and immaculate, as were the outdoor pool and hot tub. Our host Maria was very accomodating and served a bountiful buffet breakfast.
  • Phyllis C
    I recently spent the weekend there, and I will definitely be going back. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait to see them when spring is in full bloom. The buildings are adorable and meticulously clean. The owners Maria and Rom are friendly and welcoming. They are doing some beautiful renovations to the rooms and cottages too! Breakfast was delicious as well! Highly recommend!!
  • Gloria S
    Had a spectacular time for my husband's birthday this past weekend. Room was cozy and inviting, breakfast was absolutely delicious and filling, and hosts and owners were incredibly kind and attentive. The host makes the best pancakes and French toast - made to order! Nice grounds with serene lake that was breathtaking. There was another very nice 2.5 mile trail on the property. Lunchtime snacks were included, such as mixed nuts, chips, granola bites. We had a wonderful retreat and will be back!
