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 and have a picnic. 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.
Neighborhood stuff: 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.

Thank you! I’m glad y’all enjoyed yourselves and were comfortable! Please do come back anytime!
We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy, comfortable cabin tucked away in a peaceful, tree-filled setting. Everything was spotless, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the deck was the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast on sunny mornings. Our two dogs had the best time too, especially at the spacious dog park nearby. It was quiet, relaxing, and felt like a true getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would love to come back!

Thank you so much for staying at the cabin! Please come back anytime!
We went in for the Neil Young show. It was great location. If you’re going to a concert in downtown was really cute about the apartment was awesome. There’s everything you would ever need there.
What a wonderful long weekend we had in “the little cabin that could” with a front and back porch to grab a bite and relax while enjoying the surrounding woods. Speaking of that Amie our top notch host was spot on with suggestions for breweries, eateries and wineries a short drive away! What a home away from home for us and the dog who encountered his first deer. We’re already looking forward to returning to Smallwood for a concert at Bethel Woods and visiting nearby fun spots we missed this time around next year!
Amie’s cabin is a little cozy dream and we loved it so much. It was absolutely perfect for our wedding anniversary weekend and close to Bethel Woods where we caught a concert. Waking up in Smallwood was like being in a fairytale. We hiked the trails in the along the creeks, explored the neighborhood and lake, and enjoyed Amie’s gracious supply of coffee (and various methods to make it). The only problem was we were only there 2 nights and wanted to stay longer. We intend to go back again with our kids and we can’t wait!
We very much enjoyed our stay at The Little Cabin That Could. The entire contents of the home is new. The home is very clean and is very tastefully decorated with a very welcoming vibe. The kitchen and bathroom are both well stocked with everything you need. The host was very responsive. I very much enjoyed sitting in the yard listening to the sounds of nature. We were very comfortable here and we hope to come back! Thank you Amie!

Thank you for your kind words and thanks for staying at the cabin in the woods!
I felt welcomed the moment I walked through the front door of Amie’s cabin. It was equipped with everything we needed and Monticello is just minutes away for groceries, etc. I recommend The Bethel Market Cafe and Friends if you’re looking for good places to dine out. My husband and I (and Westie) really enjoyed the quaint hamlet of Smallwood and the friendly “wildlife”. Coming from Florida, it was such a treat to sit outside and soak up the cool air of the Catskills and watch the neighborhood deer wander through the yard. I hope to have the opportunity to stay again someday. Thank you, Amie!

Thanks Loretta! I appreciate your review and glad you had a nice time! I ordered a Keurig and some pods for the quick regular coffee as you suggested! Hope you can come back again someday!
I love being a host! I enjoy making my guests feel welcome and that they had a special time in a beautiful, relaxing, peaceful retreat in the Catskill mountains. It’s so magical here.
Why they chose this property
I was just a girl living in Brooklyn with a dream for 10 years of buying property in the Catskills. I finally made that dream come true!
What makes this property unique
It’s a log cabin built in 1940 in such a historically special place in the Catskill Mountains where Woodstock took place in 1969. Be ready to be surrounded by nature, birds singing, deer in the yard and so much calm.
