About this property

Chic Treehouse Cabin with Pedal Boat, Hot Tub, BBQ, Fire Pit, SUPs, & Lake Access

Escape to @boutiquerentals_' The Treehouse Bungalow – a cozy renovated 1930s Arts & Crafts cabin with hot tub, fire pit, mountain/treehouse views, Scandi-chic decor, picnic table & BBQ. Just 2 hours from NYC in the Catskills with seasonal lake access, pedal boat & paddle boards, waterfall, forest trails & proximity to Delaware River tubing/rafting. Visit antique shops, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, Kartrite Waterpark, breweries & charming towns like Callicoon, Narrowsburg & Livingston Manor.

We live in NYC, but are available via call or text and happy to answer your questions or resolve any issues that arise.
You will be able to self check-in and out with our digital keyless door lock.

LOCATION
We love Smallwood — a peaceful and friendly lake community filled with charming log cabins dating back to the 1930s and '40s. Here you'll find a beautiful lake, scenic waterfall, forest reserve with hiking trails, two restaurants (one is only open seasonally), and even a post office. A leisurely walk around the lake takes about 40 minutes, offering a perfect way to soak in the natural beauty of the area.

The surrounding Catskills region is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, offering endless activities year-round. Enjoy swimming, hiking, canoeing, boating, tubing, rafting, fishing, cycling, and horseback riding in the warmer months, while winter brings opportunities for snow tubing, skiing, and snowboarding. Whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation, Smallwood is the perfect retreat.

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), Legoland, Lake Superior State Park, the Catskills Craft Beverage Trail, 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 Delaware River towns Narrowsburg and Callicoon.

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 Treehouse 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. From there, you'd have to take a taxi to the bungalow (under 15 minutes).
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We loved our stay at this nicely decorated cabin. The host was quick to answer questions. There was plenty of information on things to do in the area. You are close to other houses but the area was very quiet. It was a perfect quick get away!

Cute, Clean, Comfortable Getaway

Our family spent a week at this property in June. The house itself was clean, very comfortable, and had everything we needed. Also, there was plenty to do: We made s’mores using the fire pit, took hikes (including one to a waterfall), took a day trip to Legoland, did a Spartan race at the original site of Woodstock in Bethel Woods, and ate a delicious meal with great drinks on the lake at the Local Tap and Table.

end of summer getaway

The place was well-appointed and nice to hang out in and relax. The hot tub was very nice too! The kids (and us) really enjoyed the stand up paddle boards and just the quiet of the area around the lake, which was a short drive from the house. There was some water pressure issues while we were there but Melinda and Christopher were very responsive. I would stay here again for sure and maybe take up a concert next time.

Smallwood Treehouse

House was super cute, clean, and well equipped. Had a great time visiting Forestburgh Playhouse, General Store, lake, and state park hiking trails to waterfalls. Only downside was roads/trails not amiable to biking (unless you have an e-bike!). Use caution when driving with steep hills and lots of deer.

Good experience

Thanks for a lovely stay in your cabin. It was very comfortable for my daughter and I with a bedroom each. We particularly enjoyed using the spa in the evenings and watching the fireflies. The personal touches created a lovely home atmosphere, the kitchen was a delight to cook in with quality appliances and cooking necessities. The thorough instructions were very helpful.

Misleading Listing, Unpleasant Stay: Not the Getaway We Expected

This was not the experience I was looking for. We thought this was going to be a nice lakeside getaway - that wasn't the case. The listing makes it look like its on the water but that wasn't even the worst part. Upon arrival which was 15 mins after check in time, the cleaning crew was still there. We then return an hour later and the unit reeked of bleach which gave us a headache. On the second day of our stay, the power went out for 8 hours and then went out again at night and it was too cold to sleep. All the owner wanted to do was compensate $50 for all of these issues given was ridiculous given the amenities they listed werent able to be used for the entire day. Understand these things are out of their control but given how long the outage was for, the host should have been more reasonable with their compensation.
