Family-friendly holiday rentals in Capital District, New York

LJ was a fantastic host and the place was great!

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 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! :)

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.

Great host and great soaking tub! Beautiful surroundings to chill out and relax in.

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 absolutely loved Maple Hill Farms. It's a wonderful place and a perfect choice for a trip to the Berkshires if you're an animal lover. The best part of our weekend was bonding with Philip's sweet and friendly donkeys! The studio is well laid out with everything you need, the farm is beautiful and peaceful (except for the roosters, haha!), and the location is great for visiting local sights like Mass MoCA and The Mount. We hope to be back!

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

This was so charming & cozy, while also being conveniently close to nature nails & downtown Woodstock. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would recommend!

What a gem. Tucked away in woods, this house was just what we needed. Tranquil, gorgeous, homey, and a perfect reset. My dog loved exploring the grounds, while I admired the beautiful mountain view. It was a little chillier than expected when we arrived but host sent directions for food recs and suggested we take advantage of the fireplace, which we did. Everything was very easy to find in the kitchen and bathroom, and my bedroom was cozy. Loved it very much, and would stay again.

Nancy was a great host! House was great and close to everything.

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.

A super stylish, immaculate and serene cottage with spectacular mountain views. This absolute gem is perfect for relaxing, decompressing and exploring the Catskills. The beds and bedding are super comfortable, kitchen is well stocked, and the sight line to mountains is a visual feast. The windows are plentiful for gentle, fresh breezes wafting throughout the home yet A/C and heat work well when needed. We built a fire and star gazed surrounded by a field of fireflies. The hum of bees in the morning sun while having coffee on the deck is a delight. There’s a thorough and helpful guide/manual and the hosts are extremely responsive. Be sure to spin some records - we found the Donna Summer Greatest Hits double album - plenty of room for dancing around. Will most certainly be back!

Cute house, open concept first floor was great for a weekend with our girlfriends! Hava was very responsive and kind!

Our second stay here and the place was just as great as the first time.

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

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

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.

This comfortable, cozy, magical piece of Catskill paradise was the perfect place to gather to mourn the loss of my father and make some new family memories for a lifetime. Photography is a hobby of mine and the picturesque landscape allowed me to get lost in my passion. We cooked all our meals together in the well-appointed kitchen, challenged each other in the PacMan arcade game and cuddled up together to watch the stars shine and a movie on the comfy couch. We took long walks and met two local farm horses grazing freely in the local fields. The wonderful host was very accommodating and fast to respond. We loved her thorough recommendations for local dining, fun activities and nearby shopping. Book this cabin in the Catskills! You will not be disappointed! We will be back! ". . . there are deeper gorges, greater streams and higher mountains but in no other place is the combination so blended into a harmony so perfect as to form such tempting bits for the camera or the brush.”

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 👍🏼
