Lakeview Double King Room

Indescribable Experience!

"We have experienced so much in our lives. So many yoga places, retreats, spas. But this (experience) is indescribable. Just the learning itself- wellness lectures, the museum, treatments, the music, the location and landscape, the layout, the freshness of the food. The people are incredible. It's pristine."

Never encountered something better than YO1

"At YO1 you get high level counseling. They explain to you every single way in which they incorporate their approach to your entire treatment. It is like nothing I have ever experienced before and I have traveled all over the world to get treatments and get healthy and better. I have never encountered something better than YO1. We are lucky to have it in the United States."

Treatments done to perfection!

"The treatments have been done to perfection. Each of the therapist that I worked with whether it was for Acupuncture, Hot stone massage or the treatment with the oil on the third-eye, everything has been wonderful. Each of the teachers and therapists are very knowledgeable."

A must visit!

"A must visit. It's not a cookie-cutter kind of a program. It is based on Ayurveda and Naturopathy, so to understand the whole concept, to be able to absorb it in our daily life is the most crucial thing."

Most pleasant massage

"The most pleasant and therapeutic massages I have ever had. The wellness staff put me at ease and they were terrific in setting things up for me, since this was the first time I had gone in for a massage since COVID."

Feeling of exclusivity and safety

"The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Also, the hotel is immaculately clean. Rooms are only serviced by request during COVID-19 restrictions. We got a feeling of exclusivity and safety as there is a controlled gate to the property (with temperature checks at each time). The pool was divine and the spa services we added to our stay were wonderful."

Cleanliness is on its level

"The cleanliness is on its level! Which is so essential, especially during the pandemic. They have bright, spacious and very comfortable rooms and bathrooms. Hotel spa and amenities are great. A very peaceful and relaxing environment."

This place was a treasure

“This place was a treasure. I wish I could’ve booked the place for five more days. Everybody was so nice to us, the food was great, the rooms were immaculate, the pool and hot tub were lovely.”

I like the culture of the hotel

"The room has an amazing view of the lake, and is the biggest highlight of the property. I like the culture and the purpose of the hotel too."

Perfect for social distancing

"The facility is perfect for social distancing. I did not feel compromised at any time by any one. During this difficult time, I would highly recommend YO1 for anyone looking to get a break from it all and hopefully after it as well."

I will definitely be back

"The staff was helpful and friendly, the room was spacious and clean, the treatments were relaxing and wonderful, the food was surprisingly filling and really good. I will definitely be back"

I am very impressed with this beautiful gift to America!

I am very impressed with this beautiful gift to America! I am sure many people will continue to find their way towards the Health Resort and reap the benefits. This morning I followed up on a brilliant tip of Alexia and sat on one of the small benches overlooking the lake at 4AM watching the Perseid Falling stars, which happened this year on 11-13 of August. Whilst sitting there I reflected on how unique it is that I could sit there safely, a woman from EU travelling on her own in the US, in the middle of the night in a forest in a beautiful spot watching the stars and with not a care in the world! If in future I can be of any support I am happy to continue our conversation. Having said that our conversation made me realise I am here for my own health journey and that is where my main focus should be now, which was a great insight for me. I love my work and sometimes I need to attend to other things. I did offer to share a few suggestions though which I due-fully have put down in writing below. I am well aware that these thoughts might not be new to you but thought to share them with you in the spirit of being helpful to this wonderful place.

It was truly a blessing to stay in your gift of a retreat center!

It was truly a blessing to stay in your Gift of a retreat center! I could feel the resonance of your offering from the moment I arrived. The prayers that have gone into and continue to resonate from this space, are deeply protected. These photographs of this Frog spoke to that protection. Please share them if and as you please. I look forward to returning and supporting your work in any way that I can. Be well and thank you for all of the wellness you’ve brought to my birthday week! And the late checkout... so generous. You are a gift!

Enjoyed my stay!

Personally, I enjoyed my stay and it is beautiful maintained property. I like to wish you the best.

I've been here twice in the past year and I love it!

I've been here twice in the past year and I love it. Honestly, it's so very under-capacity that it's super-zen. The rooms are fabulous: double king size beds with the softest, coziest linens and nearly all rooms overlook the lake and sunset; Yoga sessions are great; spa bathrooms have it all. Here goes: the toilets seat are heated with all sorts of bidet features ;) The food is locally sourced and vegan. My friend thought we'd starve, but she loved loved the food - we didn't miss the meat!

It’s truly a hidden gem in the Catskills.

I’ve had an amazing stay at YO1. It’s truly a hidden gem in the Catskills. The property is beautiful with a lake view from all the rooms. Loved the pool and more so the hot tub which has a cascading waterfall, is just heavenly. Loved the food which is all healthy and vegetarian with Vegan options. The Juice bar has some really interesting fresh juices, my favourite is the Pink Magic with mixed berries. The staff was courteous and helpful. The amazing views I’ve captured aren’t enough to showcase the magnificence of this place. YO1 is an excellent choice for anyone who is looking for a zen experience for their mind, body and soul. I will most definitely visit again.

Wow. What a beautiful place!

Wow. What a beautiful place! All the staff here are incredibly friendly and willing to help. I just had my deep tissue massage and it was the BEST massage I’ve ever received. My body feels renewed and at rest. My therapist was Simba and he was very skilled, professional and warm. I’ve loved all of the yoga sessions and meditations so far as well, all which have been with Cecilia. She has a very soothing voice and energy about her, and leads each session in a way that feels comfortable to follow along with. The room is clean, and the view is so lovely. The food is delicious too!!
