Family-friendly holiday rentals in Albany

Great place! We had a weekend of hiking planned, but with all the rain, we were glad to have use of all the inside amenities here! Sauna, bbq hut, she-shed, basement game room and comfy living room all left us fully entertained while it poured outside. Would love to come back someday!

We had a great time staying at L.J’s place. Our children loved app that there was to do and we took daily walks down to the frozen lake. Lots of fun sledding and relaxing!

We went for a quick weekend getaway with our two dogs and absolutely loved William and Liz’s home, we didn’t want to leave!! I loved the privacy, how peaceful it was, and of course the views! Our dogs enjoyed all the free space to run as well. We unfortunately had a lot of rain when we stayed, causing our tour of howes cavern to be canceled due to flash flooding. We were rescheduled which affected our check out time, but they were so sweet and offered us to check out whenever we liked and even offered us an extra night to stay! (We wish we could have). It was a wonderful weekend getaway and we all can’t wait to go back! :)

Three adults and a toddler spent four great days at Myrhah’s house in Craryville. I have very little to add to all the other enthusiastically positive reviews. They are totally accurate.I will note that one of us is a pastry chef who was at home in Myrhah’s kitchen. It’s stocked with quite a few good baking tools. Another member of our group is a 19-month old toddler who loved the toys and big airy spaces for play. We all enjoyed the home’s aesthetic and appreciated Myrhah’s responsiveness and warmth. I wished we could have stayed longer.

Had an amazing time staying at the property! The views are breathtaking and space is something you have to see for yourself! We had a small wedding of 50 people and amos accommodated us completely! We will never forget our stay! I would give this a 1 million star if I could!!

What a truly lovely sanctuary. We spent five wonderful nights in this cabin. The lake was beautiful, and everything was so quiet. Kitchen has everything you need plus! The decor was beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful vacation, even though it rained almost every day, we didn't care just relaxing in this cabin, reading books and playing games, was well worth it. Thank you so much for this beautiful location. On a side note, we had a campfire one night and the Loons were serenading us. I taped them and have listened to it many times since returning.

Wonderful space with lots of privacy. Would stay again in a heart beat!

Mary's home was exactly what we hoped for - on a mountain, beautiful scenery, clean, comfortable and quiet! Although we only had two days, it felt like time slowed down while we were there. The views, the hot tub, the comfortable furniture and tasteful decor were all wonderful. AND we were able to bring our dog, Ruah! We hope to visit again in the future! Thank you, Mary & Tim!

This was our third year coming to the Cabin with our kids (now 12 and 9) and it is just as magical as the first year. We spend our days exploring the woods, streams and endless waterfalls. Our golden retriever has the time of her life loving the freedom of the land and swimming holes. Ellen is quick to respond, the Cabin has everything we needed and we look forward to year number 4!

We had an amazing stay at the Georgie cottage! Andrew provided lots of great recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area and the cottage was cute and peaceful. The kitchen was well stocked and the cottage was well-insulated and surprisingly cozy at night! We would love to stay here again

Arin & Brian’s place was nothing short of amazing ! From the minute we walked in , it felt like home . Our 21 month old daughter especially took a liking to the home . I was so shocked and happy to see how baby/toddler friendly their home is . From child locks to stair gates , you name it , they had it all! It was also very peaceful surroundings and private, which I always appreciate in an air b n b. Arin and Brian were great hosts too , checking in when needed. I would love to come again !

Would absolutely stay again! Really loved the way they've updated the space but kept the classic touches of the house. Huge well appointed kitchen with everything you could need. Peaceful outdoor space with lots of privacy. And overall a very spacious house that feels like you could have a big group without getting in each others way. Ryan & Lauren were super on it. Will definitely recommend to friends.

Ilze and Laurence’s place felt like home away from home. Every morning, we were greeted with chirping birds, clucking hens (was even able to order a dozen eggs straight from their free-range poultry—so organic!)—and a smiling donkey! It is a place were you can find peace and rest for your soul even for just a few days.

Awesome place right in the heart of Albany! Very close to restaurants/bars as well as a very large green space - Washington Park. Both are just a half block away. Perfect! Would stay again thanks Sugey

Robert and Sandra were so helpful in making sure we were able to get the experience we were hoping for. The cabin is beautiful and we enjoyed looking through the photos of its construction. It was clean, comfortable, and very private.

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lena’s place. Very quiet, very serene— but close enough to downtown Hudson for when I wanted a night out. The dogs absolutely loved our walks up the long scenic (and completely private) driveway. The cat adored birdwatching from the sliding doors. We will definitely be coming back!

Billy and Rhobin were so helpful and easy to communicate with. The house was so comfortable and peaceful. The property was lovely! 5 Stars all around! Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Cozy home, on a beautiful property. The natural pool is really special, and we loved staying here. Hope to be back.

We had a great time at Saugerties! Rebecca's house was wonderful. The heated pool and the trampoline were the kids' favorite and they kept them entertained all day. The adults enjoyed the shade under the comfy pool lounge chairs & the spacious deck furniture. The backyard of the house was well kept and equipped so we spent a lot of time outside. The house is very well equipped and it was spacious for 2 families of 4. Everything was functioning well. The house is close to downtown and there are plenty of things to do nearby. Host was super quick to respond back and to help with whatever we needed right away. We def recommend Rebecca's house.

Great hosts that make you feel right at home. We were greeted with some extra special touches that we were not expecting during our stay, that was very thoughtful. The space is exactly as pictured and very comfortable. We would definitely come back

Our second time staying at Maitopia with our cat, just as wonderful in a different warmer season. Tina was super responsive as usual and even accommodated a late checkout. We enjoyed feasting in the kitchen as well as grilling in the yard, floating around in the pool when it was warm enough out, "hiking" with our cat on a leash around the forest on the property, taking baths, streaming music. We didn't leave the property much, but it was a fun highlight to get a few local produce items at nearby Greig farm and meet the adorable goats. One tip- bring an eyemask if you're sensitive to light in the mornings- there aren't any window shades in the bedroom.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Wilderkill Barn. Maria Cristina and William were exceptional hosts—warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our visit special. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The home was a haven, with a hot tub, sauna, pool, fire pit, pool table, and immersive sound and movie systems—all of which made our stay delightful despite the cold, dreary May weather. We can't thank them enough. ***That said, we feel it's necessary to address a serious issue with Airbnb itself that arose while booking this property, unrelated to the property itself. An unexpected tax was added after booking, and Airbnb has yet to provide a clear explanation. After years of loyalty, we were disappointed by their evasive and unhelpful customer support. This experience has made us reconsider using the platform in the future. We urge potential users to scrutinize all fees carefully and be aware that Airbnb’s support may be difficult to navigate if problems arise.***

My family stayed here for a weekend trip to Windham. The location to the ski area was very close, only 6 minutes away. There were plenty of nearby restaurants, markets, and coffee. The house is clean and cozy and perfect for a family of 4 or 5.

We loved this cute studio cabin at the end of a quiet lane in the woods. The host was accommodating and left a welcome basket with tea & muffins for our arrival. The whole unit was clean and well maintained with basic equipment for cooking. We enjoyed sitting on the veranda watching the wildlife. Convenient location for Woodstock for coffee and food, & Ashokan reservoir for walking and cycling. There were a few potholes on the access road to the property which deer use to drink from (☺️). We loved that the cabin was bug free and did not have any trace of bug spray! (We get very bad reactions to that stuff). Thank you for hosting & being respive. Recommend for a weekend 👍🏼
