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.

    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.

    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!
