The property was lovely. It had everything we needed and more. Mara was very responsive if we needed anything, and her husband couldn't have been nicer. Just a great stay! What else can I say? It's a must!

Very nice clean has everything good.

This little house is very charming. Well kept, clean and has a welcoming feel. Mara responded to my questions fairly quickly. Only disappointment we had was that the property was listed as air conditioned, but found that only the kitchen / dinnette had an air conditioner but there were none in the bedrooms. Otherwise, we had a nice stay.

We had a wonderful stay. It was apparent from the get-go that Mara went to great lengths to make sure the fully equipped cottage was immaculate. We enjoyed the many nice touches such as the numerous kitchen utensils, pots and pans, and even coffee (though we had brought our own), tea, and spices. The grill was a nice addition as well. We all remarked on how comfortable the beds were, and how nice (and quiet) of a setting the cottage is in. We were delighted to see deer, rabbits, and various kinds of birds, and found plenty of activities and places to visit within a short driving distance. A heartfelt thank you to Mara and family!

Absolutely loved spending time at this cute little cottage. It’s updated with new appliances, and is a great stay for those that want to get away from the noise of the city. Thank you Mara for being such a lovely host!!

The home was perfect for our needs! Clean, well-stocked and nicely renovated. We really enjoyed our stay and the host was very gracious and responsive.

This is our second time staying at Mara's place so we knew what to expect and it was great! My husband, 8-year old son and I enjoyed our 4 night stay at Mara's super comfortable Smallwood cabin. The place is beautifully decorated, and the heat and hot water were up to the task of a 32 degree night and a snow storm! Despite the weather, we had a great time in the area - got to do some late April sledding and then when the weather cleared up, went hiking in the Smallwood Forest Preserve. We also enjoyed local restaurants like Table and Tap in Kauneonga, Collesseo in Monticello, and the Bethel Market close to the Woodstock grounds. Mara's place is a great jumping off point for exploring Sullivan county or enjoying Smallwood and the surrounding area. Back to the house, we had everything we needed to make simple meals and we love that there are lots of games to play - we enjoyed an epic 3-day game of Monopoly. There's also a big TV in the living room with streaming service access. Also Mara left us Easter candy and some snacks and there was coffee and tea available. These are some of the nice touches that make this place feel extra special. We would highly recommend this home as a great value and would definitely stay again.

We were working all the time, but The s was great. Super clean and a tankless water heater! Emphasis on the water heater people. A gorgeous property that was covered in about 8” of snow the whole time, but it’s gorgeous back there and when the weather is right it’s probably crazy gorgeous. Also, you’llll just me laying around, or sitting, or whatever and a shadow will pass by your window. We f the snow is still there you will the biggest deer hooves you’ve ever seen. Seriously. Amazing place Mara!
