Inn at Lake Joseph
Bed and Breakfast
Forestburgh, New York
Tucked high in the Catskill
Mountains, just two hours from New York City, there exists a romantic 135-year-old
Victorian Country Estate on a 250 acre private lake, surrounded by thousands of acres of
hardwood forest and wildlife preserve. .
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. Unlike larger hotels, the Inn, with just 15 guestrooms, is an informal,
casual country retreat that assures guests a more relaxing, private, rustic mountain lake
environment. Over the years, the Inn has received various awards and has been praised by
various travel articles and publications, as well as guests, as one of the most enjoyable
destinations in the Catskill Mountains.
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. Rates:
$150.00-$405.00
Inn at Lake Joseph is listed
on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Inn's 15 guest
rooms, with working fireplaces and whirlpool baths, are tastefully decorated with lacy
linens, silk and dried flowers, Victorian wallpapers, Persian rugs, canopy, four poster,
brass and sleigh beds, as well as regional antiques and fine reproductions. |

snowscape.

Meetings, Workshops and Seminars
 |
Unlike larger hotels,
your group will share our facility with no one. The estate, mansion, grounds, lake and
recreational facilities are yours exclusively for your entire stay.
Unlike larger hotels, we tailor
meals, housekeeping and other services around your schedule, not ours. |
"There is no
doubt that this inn is the definitive small meeting venue within three hours of New York
City."
"We liked
the idea of having the entire inn to ourselves. For the first time, we didn't feel like
small fish in a big pond."
"The rooms
were comfortable, the food was good, the facilities were fun and our meeting was a
success."

to encourage this environment by welcoming children twelve and above. Children under 12
are welcome Sunday through Thursday, September through June, except holidays and Christmas
week.
- Pets
PLEASE NOTE: The town of Forestburgh has a leash law, but you may give your dog off-leash
time around the grounds of the Inn and the Inn's surrounding forest, providing you are
with your pet at all times and respect the feelings and comfort levels of others. However,
because the beach area is located in a relatively confined space that is shared with
homeowners, the leash law is strictly enforced even if there are no other people in sight.
Please respect this law.
- Fishing
PLEASE NOTE: To protect Lake Joseph from contamination brought in from other bodies of
water, the LJHA does not allow outside boats or motors. However, you may use one of the
Inn's approved electric motors if you bring your own battery and charger.
- Check In / Check Out Times
We guarantee your guest room no later than 2pm, but if it's ready earlier, we'll put you
right in. At checkout, we must have access to your guest room no later than noon, but you
may stay on premises the rest of the day to enjoy the facilities.
- Cancellations
If you cancel your reservation within two weeks of your arrival date, you may be subject
to a minimum charge of one night or one third of the cost of your stay, whichever is
greater, unless your guest room is re-rented.
