Catskills Cutie in the heart Bethel Woods village Forest Reserve in the hamlet of Smallwood. 5.5 miles from the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts music venue where Woodstock took place in 1969. You’ll find hiking, biking trails, horseback riding, waterfalls, 5 lakes, 2 large fenced in dog fields for small & large dogs, plenty of spots to sit back & have a picnic. I’ve put a lot of love into this cabin and will continue to add to that. It’s very beautiful, unique & peaceful here. Stay awhile. The space My cabin is small in stature but big in personality and the best use of a small space. I do want to set your expectations for a certain level of rustic. It’s a cabin in the woods. I do my best but it’s not a hotel. It’s more like staying at a friend’s home (please treat it that way). It is an open space concept of kitchen, living (beautiful stone fireplace) & bedroom with a queen bed. I have one small bedroom with bunk beds that has a heavy curtain for privacy. Small bathroom shower only. There is a four season back porch which accommodates the dining, writing and music areas (I have a keyboard, little Martin guitar, microphone, amp and a tambourine.) and a twin daybed for another sleeping area. There is a large deck out front with a picnic table, BBQ grill and string lights. The front deck is so nice as you’re essentially living in the trees since it’s up one flight of stairs. I have a fire pit in the backyard with 4 bright red modern Adirondack chairs, another BBQ grill and more string lights. The backyard is quite large, it goes out to the main road in the neighborhood. You’re in walking distance to the neighborhood waterfalls, hiking trails, lake and fenced in dog parks. I have pretty much anything you would need regarding kitchen items. My place can accommodate 4 people if you don’t mind not having privacy as there is a queen bed, bunk bed, twin daybed and a couch. 2 adults only for privacy loving folks. For a family I would say it’s fine for 2 adults and 2-4 children. History: My cabin was built in 1937. When I bought it in June 2023, it looked nothing like what you will see today but I saw the potential. I have tried to maximize the use of a small space making it a welcoming haven for guests and myself to have a getaway. In America a red front door holds the historical significance of meaning people are welcome at the homes that host a painted door. Travellers were welcome to rest and have a meal. All are welcome here. 🌈 ☮️ *Note: There are 2 fire extinguishers and a first aid kit in the cabinet under the kitchen sink. Under the cabinets you will find round lights you can tap for some under counter light. *Note: There are cameras on the outside of the cabin front & back. They came with the place when I bought it. They are not in use. Guest access Parking in front driveway, entire cabin, deck & back yard. Other things to note Coffee ☕️ you like it? I love it. I have a pour over Chemex with natural filters, French press, espresso machine, bean grinder, milk frother, cinnamon and lastly a one cup Keurig coffeemaker. There are many types of coffee beans & Ryze mushroom coffee here at the moment but feel free to bring your favorite beans. 🫘 I like to leave cold brew in the fridge as well. The best way to enjoy is on the deck, kicked back listening to nature and taking it all in.
