About this property

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

Only 2 hours from NYC, stay at @boutiquerentals_' Scandi-inspired 'The Original Bungalow' in the Catskills featuring lake access, canoe, paddle boards+ inner tubes. Come for the ample swimming opportunities, pretty strolls along the lake, forest hikes, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, original Woodstock site, proximity to the Delaware River, craft beverage trail & charming river towns with great dining+shopping. At night, grill up some delights on the BBQ & relax on the deck or by the fire pit.

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).

About the host

Hosted by Melinda

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Melinda, your Vrbo host and owner of boutique short and mid-term rentals The Original Bungalow, The Treehouse Bungalow, The Brooklyn Inn, and The Florida Bungalow - find us on IG at boutiquerentals_

I also work as an independent publicist and interior designer. I grew up in Sweden but have lived in NYC since the early 2000s.

I'm excited to share my Catskills and Florida bungalows + Brooklyn condo with the Vrbo community!

Why they chose this property

I love the walkability of Smallwood - the house is within walking distance of the beautiful lake, beach, waterfall, and forest reserve with hiking trails. It reminded me of my native Sweden and that’s what inspired me to go for a Scandinavian aesthetic when I designed and furnished it. I wanted to create a little piece of Sweden in the Catskills!

I love to explore and have created an extensive guide that I share with our guests.

What makes this property unique

Owned, designed, and operated by Melinda Martino and Mati Ekholm, the boutique rentals collection includes the Original Bungalow and the Treehouse Bungalow in the Catskills, the Brooklyn Inn in New York City, and the Florida Bungalow in Bradenton on the Gulf of Mexico Coast. These short and mid-term rentals are designed to be your comfortable and stylish home-away-from-home.

Unlike hotels and 'professional host vacation rentals,' our spaces offer more character and charm, and we take pride in providing a personalized and special experience. We are always ready to answer your questions and ensure a 5-star stay. We strive to offer you more than just a place to stay; we want our rentals to be your canvas for creating new memories.
