Tucked away in the woods, our Blueberry Cottage in Smallwood, New York offers a quiet escape perfect for slowing down and settling into nature. Wake up to birdsong, sip your morning coffee on the porch, and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of lake and forest life.

Just 7 miles from the legendary Bethel Woods Center for the Arts — site of the original Woodstock Festival — the cottage is also a short drive to Resorts World Catskills, Monticello Race Track, and the laid-back waterside restaurants and cafés around White Lake and Kauneonga Lake.

Step outside and you’re moments from the peaceful trails of the Smallwood Nature Preserve, where shaded paths wind along a gentle creek. In summer, pick fresh blueberries nearby and cool off with a dip beneath local waterfalls. A short walk brings you to Mountain Lake — perfect for an evening stroll around the two-mile loop as the sky turns gold at sunset.

Inside, the cottage is warm and welcoming, with a fully stocked kitchen for slow breakfasts, shared dinners, or easy cookouts under the trees. Deer often wander through the yard, adding a little everyday magic to your stay.

Come for the concerts, lakes, and fresh mountain air — stay for the calm.
