Boutique Cabin w/ Lake Access, Canoe, SUPs, Inner Tubes, BBQ, Fire Pit, Fireplace—Renovated & Chic

Escape to The Original Bungalow, part of the @boutiquerentals_ collection–a newly renovated Scandi-chic retreat with a cozy gas fireplace & woodland backyard with a fire pit. Located just 2 hours from NYC in the Catskills (one of Travel+Leisure’s 50 Best Places), Smallwood is a destination in itself: walk along the lake, waterfall or hike the forest trails. Nearby are Holiday Mountain (skiing+tubing), Kartrite Waterpark, Bethel Woods+dining & shopping in Callicoon,Livingston Manor & Narrowsburg


I live in Brooklyn, New York, but I am available via messaging or by phone. I also have a local property manager who can help if needed.

We love Smallwood — a friendly and quiet lake community with many cute little log cabins from the 1930s and 40s. We have a lake, waterfall, forest reserve with hiking trails, outdoor gym, post office, and restaurants (one is only open seasonally) within walking distance from the bungalow.

This area of the Catskills offers every outdoor activity imaginable including swimming, hiking, canoeing, boating, tubing, rafting, fishing, cycling, ziplining, horseback riding, bird watching, apple picking, snowtubing, skiing, and snowboarding.

The cabin is only a short drive from Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the Museum at Bethel Woods, the original Woodstock site, buzzy design haven Livingston Manor, Resorts World Catskills, Holiday Mountain (skiing/tubing and 'fun park' with rock climbing, go carts, etc.), Lake Superior State Park, the Catskills Craft Beverage Trail, Legoland, great restaurants, cute shops and antique stores, harvest festivals, holiday markets, farms (kids usually love the alpacas!), farmers markets, New York State's largest indoor waterpark Kartrite, Forestburgh Playhouse, Kadampa Meditation Center New York, Monticello Raceway, Monticello Motor Club Off-Road Adventure, as well as picturesque river towns Callicoon and Narrowsburg.

You can check in and out by yourself with our keyless entry. You will be issued an access code for the duration of your stay - no keys to lose or return.

The easiest way to reach The Original Bungalow is by car, but it is possible to go via public transit from the NYC area as well. Take the Short Line Bus from Port Authority in Manhattan to Monticello's Short Line Terminal or Resorts World Catskills. From there, you'd have to take a taxi to the bungalow (under 15 minutes).
During your stay at this cabin, you'll be within walking distance of Forest Reserve at Smallwood. Features include a gym and laundry facilities. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the cabin.

This place is cozy and cute. The location is excellent, with the lake close by. The proximity to Bethel Woods is good too. The robes and slippers are a nice added touch. The hosts have thought of everything, including a French Press coffee maker!

This a lovely place, very well maintained and with everything you need. We especially appreciated all the water toys that were available! The owners were very easy to reach and responsive to any questions. There are two things we think prospective renters should know: 1) the bedroom with the king bed is upstairs with no bathroom. We needed the larger bed, but it was a little nerve-racking going down the short but steep staircase at night to use the bathroom; 2) Although there are lakes nearby, the property is not on one and doesn't have a view of one. All that said, we'd certainly recommend this if those issues don't matter to you.

Great little getaway

Had a nice little getaway to the Catskills for the weekend. Owner was accommodating and answered all questions that I had very quickly. Checkin and check out was quick and easy all instructions were in my email so there was no questions on what needed to be done. Would recommend someone looking to go up to the Catskills to book this place for a quick getaway.

So happy we stayed here - adorable, clean & comfortable cabin! 10/10!

We’re so happy we picked Mountain Lake Bungalow and Smallwood for our upstate getaway - what a fantastic house and place! The home is beautifully designed, comfortable, and super clean. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could think of and the beds are very comfy - we slept so well. Smallwood is quaint and peaceful and we really enjoyed using their canoe and paddle boards on the lake. The house is conveniently located close to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, several scenic hikes, as well as excellent restaurants and cafes. We can highly recommend Java Coffee Roasting Company, 3575 Kitchen, and The Local Table and Tap. We will definitely be back!
