I stayed at the Little Cat Lodge in early July 2024 as part of a wedding group. Unfortunately, our experience was deeply disappointing on multiple fronts.

First, the room conditions were unacceptable. The AC units were excessively loud, disrupting sleep even when turned off, and the bathroom facilities were substandard. Shelves and mirrors were poorly installed, with some shelving visibly falling off the walls. To make matters worse, some guests in the wedding party reported finding dirty glassware left in their rooms upon check-in.

More concerning was the service. The wedding party had coordinated a welcome event on the patio, but upon arrival, the hotel manager Tammi not only claimed the hotel wasn’t prepared and stated they weren’t expecting us—despite prior arrangements—but also came across as rude and dismissive. With nearly 100 guests present, there was insufficient glassware, minimal drinks, and no support staff, leading to a disorganized and frustrating experience.

Months after the event, the couple has sought compensation for these issues but has been met with silence from both the hotel and its management company.

While the location may have charm, the lack of preparation, poor facilities, and unresponsive management make it impossible to recommend the Little Cat Lodge.

I also know that several other guests who stayed at the hotel share similar frustrations and may feel compelled to share their experiences publicly if the hotel continues to remain...

Absolutely amazing stay! My wife and I booked this spot for a summer getaway, and Mike and Kimberly went above and beyond to make it perfect. Breakfast and coffee every morning were a great way to start the day. The pool was always the perfect temperature and wonderfully quiet—ideal for reading, napping, or enjoying a drink and conversation, with nothing but the sound of the breeze and the occasional passing car.

If you’re looking to unplug and truly relax, this is the place. There’s a bar on-site during restaurant hours, but Mike and Kimberly were happy to make us drinks even when it wasn’t open. Kimberly’s hospitality made us feel like VIPs from the moment we arrived. We even brought our own gin, and they happily brought ice buckets for both our room and the poolside whenever we asked.

The ambiance of the lodge was amazing as well. It felt like a summer camp for adults. Also, if you get a chance try the restaurant at the hotel. Its a very well crafted menu with amazing food and presentation. Not to mention their signature cocktails are on point.

Don’t miss the sauna—followed by a refreshing dip in the pool. The location is also perfect, just minutes from Hillsdale, NY, and Great Barrington, MA, both full of charming shops, great coffee, and delicious food.

We're hoping to come back for a winter visit cause its just too cute and cozy to not be there in the snow. But we highly recommend for a...
