Lake house holiday rentals in Albany

Where do I begin... I've stayed at numerous Airbnb properties, but this one stands out as one of the most beautiful settings I've encountered. The views of the lake are breathtaking, and having direct access to it was a huge bonus. We made full use of the canoes and kayaks provided, enjoying them every day. My husband, an avid fisherman, was thrilled with the lake, calling it one of the best freshwater fishing spots he's ever visited. The grounds are impeccably maintained and offer plenty of privacy. Inside, the house is both comfortable and well-appointed. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the pots, pans, utensils, and small appliances you could need. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the linens are of high quality. The furniture is tasteful and inviting. Karen was a wonderful host, easy to communicate with and responsive. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. I would return in a heartbeat and recommend this place without hesitation.

We had a wonderful time and this house is completely amazing. There is absolutely nothing missing! When Tiffany said, "all you need to bring are clothes" she wasn't joking. The person who designed the house was a genius with the master bedroom on one side of the house, the 2nd bedroom on the other side and the 3rd on the 2nd floor. Privacy inside as well as outside. It was a hiking trip for the family and included Kennedy Park, Olivia Outlook and the Great Monument Mountain. After spending the day hiking, the hot tub, playing pool and watching a movie in the theater just ended a perfect day. We didn't realize how close we were to MA and it was bonus to explore Western Mass as well. Thank you Tiffany for sharing your home with us.

This place is such a gem! They thought of everything and so many special touches. We stayed here after taking the boys to Cooperstown for baseball and it did not disappoint. We hope to come again!

Our stay at the lake was truly amazing! The house was impeccably clean and well-maintained, and the location was perfect for enjoying the lake. Lisa was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

This lake side home was comfy cozy! Check in was smooth and communication was quick. Kylie made our stay very welcoming. The beds were very comfortable and the coffee station was amazing to wake up to, then the coffee on the screen in porch watching the sun was so peaceful, perfect trifecta! A quick walk to the Adirondack chairs on the water across the street had a very private feel. It was great to step on the beach to watch the ducks and geese. With three great properties available, I hope to come back with friends and enjoy the firepits.

Beautifully kept cottage. We visited to eat pizza at Be Golden Farms which was a short distance away. We will definitely stay again and recommend this cottage.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home on Saratoga Lake! The house was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. One of the highlights was definitely the dock—it made fishing right from the property incredibly easy and fun. Vicki and John were wonderful hosts—super responsive and available for any questions we had throughout our stay. Their hospitality really made us feel at home. We’re already looking forward to coming back and making more great memories. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful lakefront escape in the Saratoga area.

Was a wonderful place to stay. Relaxing and restful, the view of the pond was beautiful, and there was easy access to towns like Great Barrington and Lenox if you are so inclined.

The best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at! It truly felt like home—every detail was so thoughtfully taken care of. You have everything you need for a comfortable stay, from a well-stocked space to those little touches that make a big difference. The bed and pillows were super comfortable, and even though it rained, the hosts had dry firewood ready for the fireplace, which made it feel extra warm and inviting. We loved sitting by the lake and even saw a fish jump out of the water—such a magical moment! Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish. And thank you so much for approving our cats to stay with us—it meant the world. If we could give 10 stars, we absolutely would. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and welcoming getaway. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

This stay was incredibly peaceful and tranquil. The location was pristine, and the owners definitely care about who stays and how the stay for guests will be. It is very clean inside and makes you feel one with nature. I would definitely book this place again.

We enjoyed our stay at the house. Mitchell was very responsive and communication was easy. The house is near butternut and GB. Hopefully we will come back in the summer to enjoy the outdoors.

The home overall was great. It was cozy and comfortable inside including living room and bedroom beds. House has everything that we needed. Linens and towels were great. The outdoor front porch has lots of seating options and comfortable chairs. The back porch has a nice covered area which was great for shade from sun or the rain. The dock was great for relaxing. Too cold to swim this time of the year but w out our toes in! Overall peaceful, relaxing and quiet. Thankyou!

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

Our family had a lovely time at the Creekside Retreat. We arrived to a clean house with clear instructions for entering. Parking was convenient to the front door. We settled in and played scrabble which was provided by the host in the game cabinet. The second day we enjoyed a great breakfast at a local diner and went hiking about 20 miles away at Minnewaska state park. There was also a walking trail much closer we may check out on another trip. There was a park nearby my children walked to play baseball. Our two dogs made themselves at home. The creek was flooded so we weren’t able to enjoy the deck on it or the boat - maybe next time. The hot tub also didn’t work while we were there but we didn’t realize until later in our stay so it may have been a simple solution. The host generously left towels, blankets, and toiletries but we couldn’t find wash cloths. Wood was left out for the fire. Overall, we had what we needed for a great weekend getaway.

We had a lovely stay! Stocked kitchen to prepare everything you need to keep you fueled up while enjoying the outdoors. This home has everything the family needs to take full advantage of the lake and the yard. We were pleasantly surprised to be able to play badminton and kick around a soccer ball after kayaking on the lake. And at night the game room is stocked with various games to keep you and your family entertained. So grateful to have spent our long weekend here. Highly recommend.

This is a lovely new home to stay in while visiting Saratoga. We were close to the lake and easy access to Saratoga National Historical Park. We also enjoyed our mornings on the back deck soaking in the quiet back yard and many birds. We visited at the beginning of the summer tourist season (area schools were still in session), so it was understandable that the lake access area was not quite ready for visitors. The house was very comfortable for our family of 6 (and no one had to sleep on a couch!). The master suite is very generous. We would definitely stay here again if we are ever in the area.

Kelly’s places was perfect for our group. We were attending the Berkshire yoga Festival and it was terrific to come back to a fire pit and lake life.

Our family had a great time here. We spent as much time on the dock as possible. So serene, so beautiful. And the view of the lake from inside the home, which was nicely renovated, is amazing, too. A special thank you to Trisha, who was communicative, helpful, and friendly.

Leo & Michelle’s Lake house is great! Awesome spot with fantastic views off the lake. Close to Lake George & Saratoga Springs. Very quiet and relaxing. There was everything we needed for a lovely stay.

We had a wonderful stay at James and Lissy’s house! It was perfectly located for getting around the Berkshires. The house was clean, beautiful, and cozy. When we needed to communicate with James and Lissy they were incredibly responsive and helpful. Every year, my friends from high school and I meet up for a reunion in the Berkshires (we have been doing this annually), and the hope is to stay in this very Airbnb next year, if possible/ available! It was an exceptional Airbnb experience!

The house was very well equipped and perfect for many guest. The yard and the river were fantastic and down in town there were several great restaurants.

Helen was super helpful providing clear instructions for checking in and out & communicating fast and efficiently! The place was clean and peaceful to stay at. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

This was our second stay at Donald’s place—and that says it all. The home is beautiful and perfectly situated by the lake for a peaceful weekend. We enjoyed using the BBQ and the firepit. Donald was very responsive and made sure everything was taken care of.

Very peaceful! Space was comfortable and it was nice to have a relaxing getaway and take a step back from work. Can’t wait to book again in the summer and take full advantage of what the lake has to offer! Lauren was an excellent host and very communicative.
