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.

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! ##### Lisamarie I.

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! ##### ed g. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024
