The space
I’m the new owner of this delightfully cozy lakeside cabin, which I purchased both for my own enjoyment and to share with others. I have worked hard to make the space feel warm and home-like.

I’m so happy to open my home to you and hope you will treat it with love and respect.

Winter guests:
Welcome to the Catskills! Sometimes we have snowy winters here, so I want you to know what to expect. There are heat mats on the deck that will melt some of the snow and ice, but the rest of the deck and stairs may need some shoveling to give you a clear path. I have a service that plows the long driveway, but you will likely need to do some additional shoveling to dig your car out. I provide a shovel, but you should be prepared to do a little work in the event of a storm. The county plows are thorough, so you should expect local roads to be fairly driveable after a storm.
The house has baseboard heaters in every room, there is also a very efficient space heater. The house has a wood-burning stove that can heat the entire house comfortably alone if you keep a fire going.
My home is picturesque in the winter, and I have worked extra hard to make it warm and cozy during the coldest temperatures!

Swinging Bridge is named for the wooden bridge that used to cross the Mongaup River, a tributary of the Delaware River that was damned to create this reservoir. Mongaup, in some native languages, means dancing feather.
