Convenient, Clean Cottage

The cottage was comfortable and clean. It was also conveniently located for us to get to and from the Ashokan Center for our weekend music event. Jim was a great host — quick to respond to any questions!

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.

Simple and unforgettable

My Gf and I celebrated our one year anniversary at Lilly’s Cottage. It was an amazing time. Very clean! Very well kept! Very updated! And super relaxing!!. We only got to meet Jim, he was so very pleasant and thoughtful. He made us feel so comfortable and welcomed. There was not one thing I would of Asked for to be different. We will forever remember this weekend and look forward to hopefully again in the future. Thank you very much!!! ASHOKAN see ourselves coming back here again ( inside jk if you visit the reservoir)

We just loved Lily Cottage. It’s very much two person (plus dog) sized, but is generously and thoughtfully organized, with good kitchen equipment, a comfy bed, instant hot water and a good washer and dryer. There’s a fenced garden area with seating and a good bbq too. While sidewalks are not a feature of Olivebridge, there’s a soccer field/park a block from the cottage ideal for morning walks. The owner lives next door, and is warm and welcoming. While it’s not in the heart of Woodstock’s tourist orbit, it’s easy to get to lots of fun spots, and we enjoyed seeing deer in the morning and hearing a full night chorus when the sun set.

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.

First Family Getaway!

Lily Cottage is a sweet little gem!! This was first getaway as a family of three (4mo old daughter) and our beloved pup (20lb mini schnauzer!) Lily Cottage was the perfect cozy cottage to getaway for a long weekend. It had everything we needed (kitchen supplies, etc. to make a meal and a washer and dryer! (essential for a baby). The bedroom is able to accommodate a small pack and play or you could arrange it in the living space as well. Our dog also loved the small yard to get some zoomies out. Great location and short distance to Woodstock (great day trip to explore and walk around) and ample hiking trails including the Ashokan Reservoir- it was lovely.The owner, Jim, is very kind, friendly and helpful! We experienced some car trouble while we were out and I called him to ask about nearby mechanics/ tow trucks. He was eager to help and even offered to come pick us up! Luckily, our car issues quickly resolved, but he was there when we got back and helped us further. Just a wonderful, genuine individual. We had such a great time and are looking forward to returning later this summer for more hiking!

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.

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.

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!
