Inkwood Reserve is a private log cabin on five wooded acres near Livingston Manor, in the western Catskills. Four bedrooms, two baths, room for eight. A hot tub and sauna for the cold months, two fire pits for the long evenings, and lake access a short walk down the path.
It earns its Airbnb Guest Favorite badge and a 4.85 rating, and we host as Superhosts. This page is the one place to book direct. The rate you see here is the best available rate, with none of the listing-site guest fees stacked on top. Check your dates, send an inquiry, and deal with a real host from the very first message.

Why book direct
Booking here is simply the better deal. The rate on this page is the best available rate for your dates, and because you are reserving direct, none of the listing-site guest fees get added at checkout — that difference stays in your pocket.
You also get a real person instead of a help center. Ask about the sauna, the dogs, the drive in, or the best time of year for the lake, and you will hear back from the same host who hands you the door code. When something comes up mid-stay, you reach us directly, not a queue. We still keep the parts of a listing that protect you: a clear, simple rental agreement so everyone knows the terms, and travel insurance we recommend for peace of mind. Same cabin, same care, a fairer price. That is the whole case to book direct and skip the middle layer.
How it works
There is no complicated checkout here. Start by checking your dates on this page to see what is open. When you find a window that works, send an inquiry with your dates, your group size, and whether the dogs are coming — two are welcome, and the acreage is not fenced, so we will talk through what that means for your pets.
We reply personally, confirm the best available rate, and answer anything still open. Next comes a simple rental agreement; it is short, it is plain, and it protects both sides. Once that is signed and your reservation is set, we send arrival details, the door code, and directions to the cabin and down to the lake. We also recommend travel insurance in case plans shift. That is the entire path from curious to confirmed.
What you're booking
You are reserving the whole cabin — all of Inkwood Reserve, not a room in it. Four bedrooms and two baths sleep eight comfortably across five private, wooded acres near Livingston Manor.
Inside and out, the amenities are the reason people rebook: a hot tub and a cedar sauna for cold Catskills nights, two fire pits for the evenings that run long, and a private dock with two kayaks waiting at the lake, about a five-minute walk down the path. This is lake access rather than a lakeside cabin — the water is close, and it is yours to use while you are here. Bring the dogs; two are welcome on the property. Guests rate the stay 4.85 and Airbnb marks it a Guest Favorite, which is the kind of consistency we work to keep. When you book direct, all of it comes at the best available rate.

What guests say

Great place! The outdoor space was especially nice. Indoor space had everything we needed for a full week family vacation for 6. It’s really a wonderful home. We sat by the wood firepit, used the hot tub and sauna, the lounging chairs and net, had an outdoor movie using the projector and screen, walked down to the lake across the street, played some yard games, played a number of arcade games, loved the coffee station. It was a wonderful time!
We had a wonderful time at The Inkwood Reserve, the property itself is beautiful (loved the lake, kayaks, hot tub and fire pits). Khushi was extremely responsive throughout our stay, always quick to check in and help with anything we needed. Would happily stay again.
We had the best stay! The host was absolutely amazing and so responsive and helpful with anything we needed, no matter how big or small. … The outside space was definitely my favorite part! There were so many amenities and the yard was so spacious, giving us plenty of room to enjoy everything the property had to offer.
Good to know
How do I book?
Check your dates on this page, then send an inquiry with your dates and group size. We confirm the best available rate, send a short rental agreement to sign, and once it is signed your reservation is set. You will get the door code and directions before arrival.
Why book direct instead of Airbnb?
You get the same cabin at the best available rate without the listing-site guest fees, and you deal with a real host from the first message to checkout. Booking direct keeps the price fair and the answers fast.
Do you allow dogs?
Yes — two dogs are welcome. The five acres are private but not fenced, so plan to supervise your pets outdoors. Tell us about them when you inquire and we will make sure the cabin is a good fit for your trip.
