Tiny bungalow, giant personality. Tucked into the beloved hamlet of Smallwood in the Town of Bethel, this year-round Catskills cottage is the kind of place that feels like it has stories in the walls and coffee-on-the-porch energy built right in. Equal parts woodland retreat and creative hideaway, 68 Huntington Avenue offers warmth, character, and a refreshingly authentic vibe that’s getting harder and harder to find. Unlike many Smallwood cottages, this home is serviced by year-round water and is fully usable in all four seasons. Inside you’ll find two bedrooms, warm wood floors, vintage cottage charm, and an artsy, eclectic feel that somehow manages to feel both cozy and inspiring at the same time. The enclosed front porch stretches the length of the house and serves as an additional three-season living space (not included in the square footage), making it the perfect spot for morning coffee, rainy afternoons, game nights, creative projects, or simply listening to the sounds of the woods. The oversized rear storage/workshop building opens up endless possibilities. Artist studio? Woodshop? Music room? Ceramics space? Writer’s retreat? The structure already has incredible visual character and offers the kind of bonus flex space buyers dream about in the Catskills. Outside, mature trees and natural greenery surround the property, creating a peaceful setting with unmistakable Smallwood charm. Owners may join the Smallwood Civic Association and enjoy access to Mountain Lake, the beach, community events, and the quirky little lake-community lifestyle that has made Smallwood one of Sullivan County’s most beloved hidden gems. And then there’s the location. You’re in Bethel — yes, that Bethel — home of the original Woodstock festival site and the renowned Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Today, the area has evolved into one of the Catskills’ most vibrant cultural destinations, blending live music, art, breweries, hiking, farmers markets, kayaking, great food, and small-town weirdness into something genuinely special. This is not a sterile flip trying to impersonate a farmhouse. This is a real Catskills bungalow with soul, creativity, personality, and just the right amount of magic.
