Phoenicia Lodge - Lodge in Phoenicia - 5987 NY-28, USA

In a nutshell : we found "our place" in The Catskills. My boyfriend and I loved the owners Jennifer and Maureen (and George and June the doggy greeting committee) who were all very welcoming and accommodating. They always have something freshly baked either for arrival or check in. Rooms are very clean with comfortable beds and there is a lot of attention to detail to make you feel comfortable. Great location as you're very close to trails, Main Street Phoenicia and not a far drive from Woodstock. I'm so glad we found this place. It's a rare experience to stay somewhere and to feel right at home the minute you check in.

I cannot say enough good things about my stay at this idyllic, rustic setting located in the Catskill mountains. Jennifer and Maureen are super friendly. My room was clean and comfortable. Really enjoyed the breakfast (and all of the conversations in the breakfast nook!). The other guests were very cool as well. The whole atmosphere was a chill vibe. Do not miss out on a walk to the Espopus Creek, a mere 200 yards from the Lodge... it is breathtaking! Last, I was up there for a creative endeavor. Jennifer and Maureen were very supportive and encouraging when I shared that with them. I really appreciated that.

My partner and I stayed at Phoenicia Lodge over a long weekend in January and can’t say enough nice things! Jennifer and Maureen are wonderful, kind people and we enjoyed seeing them every day at breakfast. The room itself was sparkling clean and equipped with toiletries, a mini fridge, and a DVD player, which we used every night thanks to the Lodge’s expansive collection. A continental breakfast is available every morning (coffee, yogurt, bagels, pastries, juice, etc.) and was perfect fuel for our morning adventures on the trail. There are many nearby options available for food. Phoenicia Diner, Brio’s, Woodstock Brewing and several other dining options are only a 5 minute drive away. We spent one of our days snow tubing at Hunter Mountain (20 min drive), another hiking Kaaterskill Falls (25 min drive) with a visit to Van Winkle brewery after (35 min drive). Our last day we spent visiting the massive antique store right in town (5 min drive) and took a long walk along the Ashokan Rail Trail (10 min drive). Phoenicia Lodge was the perfect central location for us and we couldn’t have been happier. We will be back and would recommend anyone visiting the Catskills to stay here!

Stayed here with 15 friends during the past three nights. We essentially had every room and cabin. It's a rustic establishment out of the 50' and 60's. Reminded me of my youth. It's very clean. The beds and linen are quite comfortable. We had a blast. Jen and Maureen are wonderful hosts. The cookies are amazing. It's not a five star resort but it's a cozy friendly place which is better. Will be back.

Highly recommend Phoenicia Lodge. The rooms are nice and charming, and the location is superb. Most importantly, when the owners learned that I didn’t have a car and couldn’t reserve a taxi to get to a nearby trailhead, they kindly offered me a ride in their car and even provided spikes for ice walking because I had forgotten mine at home. I wouldn't have made it to Slide Mountain on time in late December without their help. Thank you!!

Phoenicia Lodge was a great budget friendly option on Hwy 28. |We stayed in one of the small motel rooms, as we were visiting friends in the area and didn’t need cooking facilities. Rooms was very clean with a comfortable bed. It was very warm and humid outdoors , but the window A/C kept us pretty comfortable. No place to hang clothing, and not a lot of space for storing toiletries, so the small rooms may not be a good choice for a longer stay, but suited our 3 nights just fine. Owners are friendly and helpful, and the fresh baked breakfast pastries were delicious!

Stayed at Phoenicia Lodge for the 1st time in July. I really enjoyed my stay. The bed sheets, pillows and bed were extremely comfortable. I have never slept in soft sheets in any hotel as I did at the Lodge. The ladies were friendly and their morning baked goods were delicious. I am planning a trip back in the fall and will definitely be staying at Phoenicia.

The staff is so kind and helpful! I took my fiancé up here for her birthday and it was a blast! The fire pit is highly recommended by me as it was the perfect end to the perfect weekend. The playhouse (theater) was preforming “the Addams Family” and it exceeded our expectations far and away. We went on a mushroom tour with the catskill fungi club which was also an amazing experience. John and everyone there were the perfect first time fungi hosts and we will be returning. I couldn’t say one bad thing about the lodge. It’s right in the middle of rented cabin and hotel resort that any type of visitor could appreciate the small town vibes.
