Lazy Pond Bed & Breakfast

A gorgeous B&B in the Catskills! Beautifully manicured property in a quiet setting with very nice rooms. Immaculately clean and wonderful hosts!
Very convenient to lots of hiking trails, nearby summer camps and Woodstock is close by if you are coming for one of the music festivals.
Definitely would come back for another visit!

This was our first experience at a bed and breakfast and it was excellent and exceeded our expectations. The property is beautiful. Jean and her son Matt were lovely. Everything is clean and peaceful and the breakfast was wonderful. It was a nice little getaway from the city. We went to see Van Halen at Bethel Woods which is nearby and they have a bonfire for their guests after the show. We can’t wait to come back!

This is a tricky one to review, because there are lots of good things but one or two not so good.
First, everyone’s right that the owner Jean is lovely. There’s a nice atmosphere and the grounds are well cared for. The breakfast is excellent. It’s a small detour off the 17 so it’s a great place to break a journey. The rooms are clean and the bed was comfortable. The only real problem we had was that the air conditioner in our room was very noisy when it switched onto cool. I’m a light sleeper so it kept waking me up. But I think my wife and daughter were fine.
There are two issues though. First, it is variable depending on which room you get. We were in the annex over the road. We booked very late so I’m guessing we got the only room left, and I got the impression the other rooms were probably better. Second, we paid almost 200 dollars for the night, and while that price would be fair for a fancy place it was excessive for what we got. I’ve had comparable stays in terms of quality of room and breakfast for half that. Again, we booked late so probably missed out on any deals or whatever, but the price was not appropriate for that room for a night in my view.
So I would definitely recommend this pace if you can book early and get one of the nicer rooms and if you can get a more modest rate. You’ll be with great people and leave with a happy belly.

the grounds are very nice and the owners are very hospitable, as other reviewers noted. However, the photos don’t tell the whole story. There is another property across the street that is also part of the this B&B – basically built like a cheap motel – small rooms all in a row, with décor nothing like the room pictured. The plumbing clogged and all of the rooms on our side were affected.

The lazy pond bed and breakfast was a very very cozy place to relax the staff was great and jean and Matt were the best ! They were always there !!! Breakfast was the best ! Blueberry pancakes eggs anyway you liked them, coffee was also great… The fruit was fresh. cookies homemade to much to list. I give the lazy pond a 5 out of 5 for me. and everyone there during our stay was very impressed as I am … Thumbs up to you lazy pond… See you guys soon … Tony and Gladys

The bed & breakfast is clean and comfortable. Most of the rooms have their own bathrooms. One really neat thing about Lazy Pond is that they have an expansive property with several buildings on it. It would be possible to stay the night in a cabin all to yourself /​with family. They have a «rec room» with a ping pong table, a hot tub and a kurig ready to go. The innkeepers are nice people as well.

When we arrived it was cute and very well maintained. During the day, the innkeeper (male) started yelling and saying he would shoot a dog if he found it to scare a guest out of brining their dog out! He never smiled or welcomed us and I never saw Jean. The breakfast was ridiculously simple and there was one man making eggs for 20 wedding guests! My boyfriend and I waited a while and then gave up to go to the liberty diner down the road. I’d much rather stay at a bed and breakfast that could accommodate for their guests. It seemed as if they were not prepared for our 20 person group.

This is the best bed & breakfast I have ever stayed in. Jean, the Innkeeper is always around making sure everything is running perfectly. The place is very peaceful and the rooms are beautiful and very clean. Breakfast is wonderful with home made baked goods, pancakes, eggs cooked to order and pretty much anything else you could ask for. My wife and I have been here three times over the last 4 years and every time it gets better as they are constantly improving on the facilities. I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else in the area!

This place is wonderful! My husband and I stayed here during a recent concert at Bethel Woods and everything was fantastic. Jean is a lovely person and made us feel quite at home. We also had a delicious breakfast each morning, including made-​to-​order omelets, pancakes, French Toast and other items. We stayed here for 3 nights and loved it. It is also quite convenient to the venue — which was also fantastic!
