The little cabin that could…

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, waterfalls, 4 lakes, 2 large fenced in dog fields for small and large dogs, plenty of spots to sit back, relax and decompress from city life. I’ve put a lot of love into this cabin and will continue to add to that. It’s very beautiful and peaceful here. Stay awhile.
The space
My cabin is small in stature but big in personality and the best use of a small space. It is a big open living space that is kitchen, living room and bedroom with a queen bed. I have a smaller 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 area, writing/music area and a large twin daybed for another sleeping area. There is a large deck out front with a picnic table, BBQ grill, Adirondack rocking chairs and string lights. There is a fire pit in the backyard with 4 bright red modern Adirondack chairs, another BBQ grill and 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, large 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 children.

History: My cabin was built in 1940. When I bought it in 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 over counter light.

*Note: I have Ring cameras on the front and back doors for security.
Guest access
Shared parking in driveway. Your spot is on your left in front of the Catskills Cutie parking sign. You have the entire cabin, deck & back yard. The parking sign on the right “The Betty” is for me, I live in the 1976 Argosy Airstream to the right lot of the cabin. You may or may not see me as I do work a lot. However, if you need anything at all and message me, if it is something I cannot fix online, I will come help you.

Coffee ☕️ you like it? I love it. I have a pour over Chemex with natural filters, French press, espresso machine, 12 cup coffeemaker, Keurig one cup with pods, bean grinder, milk frother, cinnamon. There are a few types of coffee beans at the moment but feel free to bring your favorite beans. 🫘 The best way to enjoy is on the deck, kicked back listening to nature and taking it all in, in my opinion.

Activities:
Bethel Dog Park located 6 blocks away from my cabin at: 50 Golf Park Rd. You can walk or drive there and park. You will find 2 fenced in dog parks, a walking/running/biking trail and an outdoor workout gym. The hiking trail is to the left of the dog park entrance.

Bethel Forest Reserve:
The waterfalls you see in some of my photos are located at the corner of Mt Lakes Rd and Mohican Trail. There are hiking trails there as well.

Bethel Woods Center for the Arts music venue: Located at 200 Hurd Rd, Bethel NY where Woodstock took place in 1969. It’s exactly 10 minutes or 5.5 miles away from my cabin. There is a Woodstock museum there as well as concerts, tours of the grounds, a documentary film narrated about Woodstock and a groovy love bus.
