Inn at Lake Joseph

If You Intend To Bring a Pet

Many of our guests choose to bring their pets with them so they can share a country experience. When pets are left alone in unfamiliar guestrooms for extended periods of time, they tend to bark or become bored, discontented and even destructive, so please plan to keep your pet with you during your stay at the Inn, except for short periods such as mealtimes. If you do leave your pet in your room, please be sure that we have your cellphone number so that we can contact you if necessary.

Pet charge: Pets welcome in Carriage House and Cottage guest rooms and the Manor Kingfisher room. Sorry, no cats. $6.25 per leg per night

The Inn, located high in the Catskill Mountains on a 250-acre private lake about two hours from New York City, hosted its first guests in 1984. Like resort lodging, the Inn provides a variety of summer and winter recreational facilities, including the use of a nearby full-service health and fitness club. But unlike larger hotels, the Inn, with just 17 guestrooms, is an informal, casual country retreat that assures guests a relaxing, private, rustic mountain lake environment.

Breakfast is served on the screened veranda, surrounding guests with the sounds and feel of the lush green forest. When glassed in during winter, guests experience the beauty of a surrounding snowscape. Over the years, the Inn has received various awards and has been praised in travel articles and publications, as well as by guests themselves on Trip Advisor. The Inn consists of three distinct dwellings: The Lodge with its casual English Country environment; and for more rustic accommodations, the Adirondack-style Cottage and Carriage House guestrooms with their own private entrances, where pets are welcome. In addition, most of the guestrooms have working fireplaces, whirlpool baths and private sundecks. For photos of rooms, rates and things to see and do, click on the Visit Website link.
