“Magical family feel but some outdoor activities would be great, and upgrades to indoor bowling alley and basement feels neglected in terms of fun and cleaning. Almost like guest don’t actually go down there to play. Missed space for opportunity and guest interaction/fun.”
“My wife and I got married at Hotel Lilien this past September and the entire weekend exceeded our wildest expectations. Coordinating with Daniel and Jules was excellent throughout the entire process and they responded timely with answers, solutions, and suggestions. The staff was very flexible and was able to adapt to decisions that were made the week before based on weather. Throughout our entire stay they were extremely attentive and helpful with all requests, specifically Chris, Jason, Anthony, and Kiara. They really made our weekend perfect. Each room was pristine when we arrived and every single attendee mentioned how much they loved the accommodations. The food was also amazing, people couldn’t stop talking about the grilled cheese, tomato soup, and charcuterie/burrata boards. Looking back on our wedding as a whole, choosing Hotel Lilien was the perfect decision and we are so grateful for their entire staff making the whole experience so magical. The hotel has so much history and the original owner’s daughter, Meta Lilienthal, has a personal memoir called Dear Remembered World and the book describes her life in both Manhattan and Upstate back in the 1890s. While the property is now a hotel, the new owners have managed to expertly craft an environment that makes you feel right at home. Couldn’t recommend more.”

“Just had our family reunion there. McGrath's is the perfect place for a gathering. The pub is awesome, breakfast isincluded and is delicious. The staff is helpful and friendly. We will be back again!”
“I’ve stayed with friends in “The Lodge” and most recently in “The Hideout”. Wonderful place. It is so peaceful. You could spend your stay relaxing at your tiny home and enjoying the amenities on site. There’s a pool, a tiny gym, a gorgeous waterfall as well as a 24/7 pantry with items you may have forgotten to bring with you or maybe just for a midnight snack. There are plenty of great hiking spots nearby as well as small towns with lots of character and shops. We’ll be back again soon!”
“Can’t say enough good things about this place. Highly recommend it to anybody looking for a nice retreat from New York City or anywhere nearby. Staff is incredibly helpful and cabins are modern but cozy. Awesome vibe”
“Stopped in for after dinner drinks and had a fun time pong, dancing and doing shot skis. Drinks were reasonably priced and easy to get with 2 bars. Not sure how the food service is but didn't appear to be too many tables.”
“Local pub. Been here for years. Staffed with local people. Very friendly. Check for activities.
Food and drinks: Good food. Great roastbeef dinner. Burgers are good and fries are chrispy. Big bar and these girls hustle.”
“A true getaway from the city!
My partner and I loved our stay here. The cabins are nestled between gorgeous pines & have all your basic needs covered.
The cabin was the perfect size for the two of us. We initially booked two nights, and stayed an extra night to enjoy the quiet woods, fireside eating, and the nearby hiking.
There are so many trails just a short drive away. It felt nice to come back to our cozy cabin and have a hot shower after spending the day outdoors.
Definitely recommend bringing an iron skillet or anything else you need to cook by fire.
Wonderful experience. We look forward to returning.
Nearby activities: Near Katerskill Falls, North-South Lake, and many other hiking trails. Windham Mountain, Mine Kill, & Elm Ridge are a beautiful scenic drive away.
Food & drinks: Expect your basic needs covered and a nice grocery nearby to stock up on extras.
The cabin included 2 1L boxes of water, salt & pepper, olive oil in packets, sugar/sweeteners, packs of teas & coffee, and a s’more’s kit.
We brought our own seasonings & ingredients for breakfast + snacks as well as more water + beverage options.
Also, there are lovely restaurants nearby to try like Julia’s Local & the Yellow Deli.”
“I’ve been coming to baumanns for basically my entire life. Words cannot describe the memories this place has given me. If you’re looking for a fun time this is definitely it. The catskills are breath taking and baumanns provides so many activity to do each day! Can’t forget about the three delicious meals that baumanns also provides, and that’s not including the late night snacks! Wether your swimming in the large pool, fishing in the gorgeous pond, or participating in a cornhole or ping pong tournament your never bored. Every year I feel that I grow closer to my family here and I love meeting new family’s that also go to baumanns. The staff is more than kind and Rosemary and her family put in so much effort, it doesn’t go unnoticed. I love this place so much I wrote my college essay on it! Anyways go to baumanns you will not regret! ”
“Nice staff, convenient location 15 minutes drive from Catskill. They turned on the pool 1 hour before the regular time so we could enjoy it before checkout. No vreakfast, but we used a picnic table near the pool to make our own breakfast.
Rooms are cozy though air consitioning is old and noisy, but we did not need it much.
Located close to a road so there was a bit of car noise. Great mountainous area will good views.
Great value for money, cheaper than anything around, at least on Google and Booking”

“As local residents sometimes we forget about La Doria went there on Tuesday night and had a great meal the vegetable medley was to die for with a wonderful wait staff very pleasant and a great ambience. Will remember to come back again”
“My 2 days stay at the Piaule Catskill was such a pleasant surprise. I came to learn about this place when I was randomly checking for luxury retreats in upstate NY.
I chose one of the elevated cabins which provided me with a stunning view of the woods. The cabin was chic with what I would say a minimalist design. The place offered much solitude and space for relaxation and unwinding. I think i had two of my quitiest sleeps this year literally as if I had ear plugs in my ear.
Within the property there are trails for hiking and observing nature. Other services include a small steam pool with stunning views of the Catskills mountains. The restaurant offers high quality dining. Loved the ravioli and the hummus salad.
Everyone in the staff were friendly and attentive
I loved the place. I had some stressful times this year and I longed for a place to relax. The Piaule gave me what I longed for”
“this place is great. a really sweet family owns it. it’s simple and good for folks who care more about authenticity than anything fancy. the kindness from the owner and workers was excellent & the experience staying here with our kiddos for a night on our long road trip was wonderful.”
“My husband and I spent 3 days last week at the Inn. We have been there many times through the years. It is under a new ownership who continues to make you feel very comfortable. They gave us a bottle of champagne to celebrate our anniversary. The manager went out of her way to accommodate my gluten free diet supplying me with GF muffins and more. The room was cozy. Our dog loved it there. It was a very positive experience.”
“The Gertsberger, Weingard family and their awesome team bring the best each and every year. Their work ethic and caring is OUTSTANDING! Your home a way from home place. Been going up for decades! The best way to describe Glenbrook Farms for me “is a piece of heaven cut out” and placed in Upstate NY for families to enjoy for generations. If you expect and demand a franchise hotel room, with WiFi, ton of cable channels and a mint on pillow than this place is not for you. However if you are looking for a great time for your kids and family, three meals a day, the ability to visit with some farm animals, play basketball, softball, swim, take in the sun, handball, bonfire, hangout with friends and family at night, enjoy a firework night, relax all day, sit back and listen to music and play games in their family style lounge, than Glenbrook Farms will definitely provide awesome memories, enjoyment! It’s the real deal and you will see that when you walk across their stream, take in the view and walk around a Great Lake with fishing! Place is awesome. God Bless”
