It's Inn Season at our Catskills B&B
A TOP-RATED LAKESIDE MOUNTAIN RESORT
With a storied history dating back to the 1800s, the Inn at Lake Joseph offers a welcome getaway from our busy lives, just an easy ride from the surrounding areas and a two-hour ride from New York City. Our bed and breakfast offers 16 unique rooms, tranquil lakeside atmosphere, recreational activities, and a fine breakfast, all in the heart of the NY Catskills. We pride ourselves on our hospitality where everyone is welcome.

Peace & Quiet
Music of the Cicadas
The Inn at Lake Joseph offers serenity and escape in a number of unique room creations. Some rooms feature rustic decor and private entrances, while others reflect the casual feel of the English countryside. All rooms feature en-suite bathrooms and fireplaces; many have private terraces.
We're confident once you've experienced the inn, you'll be back time and again. Year after year, we see guests return to rediscover their favorite spot, explore everything we have to offer, and share this remarkable place with friends and family. It's no wonder we're considered a favorite destination in the region - and we know you'll feel the same.

Back to Nature
Escape the Hustle & Bustle
Rediscover the simple pleasures that have grounded us for generations. At the Inn at Lake Joseph, nature isn't just a backdrop, it's an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember what it feels like to be truly present. Whether you're watching the morning mist rise off the water, hearing nothing but wind through the pines, or sharing stories around a crackling fire, you'll find that getting back to nature is really about getting back to yourself. Here, the most important notifications come from loons calling across the lake and the gentle lap of waves against the shore.

Adventure Awaits
Things to Do
You never have to leave the inn to enjoy your stay, but if you're up for exploring, there's lots to love in the Catskills. Journey into miles of hiking trails, fish, boat, play tennis, snow-shoe, or just enjoy the sensational nature all around you, complete with spectacular river scenery, majestic peaks, and isolated waterfalls.
One can also enjoy fine music, art and theatre as well antiquing and various cuisines all within a short drive.

Exceptional Hospitality
Our approach is simple: pay attention to the small comforts that make guests feel at home, and let the natural beauty of the property do the rest. When hospitality comes from the heart, everything else falls into place.

Kind Words from Happy Guests
- 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!
- We had an amazing time! Comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast and great service! Such a relaxing getaway.
- 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.
- 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.
- Hi If your looking for a real romantic hotel to feel like your in a Millionaire Mansion your at the right place hospitality top notch the owners were just so friendly I did not want leave I could just stay forever everything was just amazing this place is like in a movie the grass the pool just a dream and can't believe it's so close to everything your like in a hidden gem just a few mins from the husstle
- 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!
