My girlfriend, and I had the best week of our entire year at this house. The area is phenomenal, the house itself is cozy and comfortable, and the lake is beautiful. We caught a whole bunch of bass right off the dock, took the boat out and caught some pickerel. what great fishing :). there was a very good vegan pizza place nearby for those who need vegan food., The geary family is wonderful. Upon arrival, we were thrilled by the surprise of a wine bottle, its the little things that make the stay super special. Great music options on the speaker, played santana for 6 days straight. waking up to a sunny lake, taking the boat out, going for a swim, coming back to the house to cook a nice meal, only to go back out on the lack afterward. couldnt have asked for a more relaxing vacation . Thank you for letting us enjoy your piece of paradise.

We spent a couple of days in this vintage but updated cottage in Bethel NY. The house has all the amenities of a new place but the cool history and character of a place built in 1934. Steps away from a beautiful lake, sitting on the dock on screened in porch was awesome. You can hike around the lake or just a couple min drive are numerous other hiking spots. Gas grill if you want to cook out as well. Really cool place that I highly recommend. Will stay again!

Great view of lake from porch with comfortable chairs for looking. Kitchen and bathroom nice and clean.
Windows old and very difficult to open. Kayak extremely difficult to get out of basement. Needed a neighbor to help. Needed step stool to reach kitchen light. Back and front walkway entrances pose fall hazards.

LOVED our time here. There's a frame on the wall here that says, "if you're lucky enough to be on the lake you're lucky enough" and that just about sums it up. It's a very idyllic spot in sleepy hamlet on a pristine lake. We all can't wait to come back!

Still full of magic
I visited this house as a kid so my hopes were high that it would still live up to my wonderful memories after 35+ years. I'm so happy to say it did. We spent our days at Smallwood beach and out in the rowboat; we spent our nights on the porch and by the fire, teaching our 5 year-old to play Uno (one of many games in the house). This is a great place to disconnect (read: no wi-fi!) and reconnect. My daughter was excited to sleep in the front bedroom which is full of windows that look directly out at the ever-changing view of the lake. In addition to the binder full of house history and local recommendations, the bottle of wine and firelog were thoughtful additions to our stay. The Gearys were wonderful hosts It was a fantastic way to celebrate my birthday and I can't wait to visit again next season!

We very much enjoyed. staying at this lakeside home. Thanks to limits on power boats, sitting on the dock was quiet and the water calm. The first evening was cool so we made a fire in the real, efficient and beautiful fieldstone fireplace. The simplicity of the home, with no wifi or tv, allowed us to relax and listen to the many birds in the overhanging trees. Thank you, John and Karen.

Amazing getaway
This HomeAway property will remain close to my heart. It was one of the most relaxing getaway weekends that I have ever spent. Before arrival, I had many questions about the area which John was happy to answer. When I arrived, everything was as it should be, and there was a bottle of wine waiting for us. This was a great touch. In addition, there was wood provided for the fireplace, including a fire starting log.
The property has a beautiful view of the lake and we spent a lot of time out in the rowboat fishing. We caught a few different species of fish including largemouth bass.
Our favorite area was the porch overlooking the lake and we spent quiet mornings and evenings sitting in front of the fireplace. Coming from someone who works in NYC, this was the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of every day life. I highly recommend checking out this cottage!

Quaint cottage
This cottage is located directly across the street from a nice dock on a small little lake. The location is perfect and is closes to Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center. The lake is located in front of the cottage and the back is very woodsy. The owners were quick to respond to all my questions. Bedding and towels that were provided were very nice. If we are in the area again, we would definitely select this cottage to stay.

Beautiful!
We were in the Catskills to see two concerts at the Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center and really lucked out by finding this property. It’s only four miles from the venue, has gorgeous views and the owner was very easy to deal with. We will be back!

Wonderful time at lakefront cottage
We have spent a wonderful three days at the Geary's cottage. My husband had the best time fishing from the rowboat, and my sister and I just enjoyed the walks around the lake and the luxury of real leisure time. Thank you John and Karen!

Highly recommend this little slice of tranquil paradise!
We absolutely loved our long weekend staying at the charming cottage, Margaritaville!
We found the house to be perfect for our needs, and well equipped. Beds were comfortable and the porch bedroom was perfect for afternoon naps in the sunshine with the view of the lake.
A lot of fun was had on and by the lake, fishing, swimming and floating and using the rowboat, a perfect size for 2 adults and 2 kids.
Highly recommend this little slice of tranquil paradise!

Adorable, quintessential Smallwood house
Loved this cottage for our family of four! Kitchen and bathroom are updated, yet the house retains all of its historical charm.
The dock and rowboat were a great addition and made crossing the lake to our family's house fun and easy.
We were there during a record heat wave so didn't spend much time on the porch (hottest room in the house). We would love to return in the fall so we could really enjoy it!
Thanks John and Karen for being such accommodating hosts!

Charming perfect and personality
i don’t know what to say other than this place was absolutely charming and adorable! we had THE best time. hanging out on the covered and closed in porch that looks over the lake felt like heaven. we really felt like we lucked out. john keeps it as welcoming as possible. you can tell it’s a place people go to make memories. i could not get over how cute everything was at the cottage. what is also great is that although you feel like you’re in the mountains, you have a nice bathroom and kitchen so no need to really rough it. the little dock by the lake was awesome too! just sitting on it and watching the sunset. all the beds were comfortable, parking in the back was easy. grill was great. i could not say enough wonderful stuff about this little escape. john is also very helpful with any information or questions you might have to help your stay! LOVED! I knew i would miss it the second I left, and a few months later, I still do miss it! Hope to go back!
