Family-friendly holiday rentals in Niskayuna

LJ was a fantastic host and the place was great!

Absolutely amazing place and experience. Everything about the place was great and the communication and service was the best. We received 5 inches of snow on our last night and they even had the driveway all plowed for us first thing in the morning. That was a very pleasant surprise. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic space for a large group. We had 10 people for a New Year’s Eve ski weekend, and this was the ideal spot for it. Hot tub was a great treat. Be warned - the floors are squeaky, so if you’re a light sleeper in a large group bring ear plugs.

A great spot and close to track and downtown Saratoga Springs. Very comfy and spacious for a group up to 8. Some cute items Star Wars decor.

Awesome house, the pond was a really neat bonus. We had coffee in the sunshine, with the beautiful fall leaves, by the water!! Our family really enjoyed this place. It was quiet, roomy, and in a great location! Lots of restaurants close by, yet had a feeling of being in the country, away from it all. Highly recommend this home. Also very affordable, considering the area.

Raymond was very thorough with instructions. Love the flowing creek and array of places to comfortably sit outdoors. Brought us wine to enjoy. Kitchen full of amenities. Living room was cozy as well as the beds. 2 bathrooms were nice and clean. Drivable locations.

This is an incredible home. We had a really special weekend here. The house itself is beautiful - it’s decorated so well, and it’s really spacious, so comfortable for a big group. The outdoor space is lovely too - there’s ample space to relax outside and take in the gorgeous scenery :) can’t recommend enough!

My family and I had a wonderful time! Larry is very sweet, gave us a tour, offered to help with docking our boat and even offered my husband the tools to fix the bunk on our trailer. The house is big and beautiful!! Very clean, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need!! The hot tub is definitely a bonus as we used it everyday!! The dock was perfect, we had room for our pontoon boat and jet skis. All around the perfect place for some R&R!!! My family and I love Cossayuna Lake as we are semi local and it was our first experience with an Airbnb. Thank you Larry for sharing your home!! Highly recommend this for your next vacation!!

We were in Lenox to attend a reunion for the Lenox School for Boys ( Grad “66” ). The cabin was perfect for our needs especially because we could have our dog with us. Most of our time was spent with activities scheduled for the reunion so we didn’t really get to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere surrounding the cabin. There will be another reunion in 2026 so we will be looking forward to another stay at the Luv Shack. Thanks for sharing your abode. Pete & Becky Davis Mechanicsburg PA

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

Our family loved our stay at this house. It is a peaceful and serene setting in a beautiful wooded area. The host was very accommodating on short notice. The house has a very nice and inviting interior, it feels very homey and comfortable. There are many nice places for a hike and the view at the top of the hill on the property is quite scenic, we could see the Catskills to the south. There are all the modern amenities, and the (decorative) antique wood burning stove in the kitchen was a neat touch. I would definitely recommend this place!

When I first pulled up to Kliment's, I literally teared up - that's how breath-taking his spot is. It was just what the doctor ordered... if doctors actually treated your mind, body, and soul and not just your body :) Seriously though, Kliment's place was an oasis for me: private, quiet, peaceful, with amazing views of the Catskill mountains. His home itself was beautifully decorated, simple yet super cozy, and had everything I needed and then some. (And the chickens were lovely company as well!) Kliment is one of the best Airbnb hosts I have ever had, hands down. With a very hectic schedule, Kliment was flexible, responsive, kind and patient with accommodating my many change requests and needs throughout my stay. Kliment is not just a wonderful host, but also a truly wonderful person - the world needs more people like him. In short: I can't recommend Kliment's home or him as a host enough! If you are hovering over the "Reserve Now" button, book it!!! You won't regret it! :)

Staying at Will and Aenne's barn house was fun and wholesome. I enjoyed saying hello to the animals and the jungle shower most of all. The barn has everything one needs. Though, I must say I was very intimidated by having to light the chef's stove. We walked from the barn to the waterfall down town which was beautiful--great place to hang out and swim in the warmer months. The village of Kinderhook is adorable with quaint little shops. Hudson city had some of the best food I've had in a long time; I strongly recommend eating at Cafe Mutton. Overall, Will and Aenne were very hands-off hosts--as in, they gave us our space and privacy--while still being responsive and attentive. Thank you for the stay! I hope to come back again!

Christopher's place was amazing. The property is absolutely amazing, and the view from the window is stunning. The place is very cozy, comfortable, and feels very spacious for the size. There are several cute small towns near by and plenty of places to go for a hike. Christopher was a great host who gave recommendations and always responded to questions. We would 100% recommend!

Bobby was the ultimate host in every way. I felt so relaxed and comfortable in his home that I extended my stay for another week and have already booked for a future stay. The home is beautiful, full of original art, cozy and perfectly suited for a quiet getaway yet close enough to Hudson, Kinderhook and Catskill. The house gets beautiful morning light and I found it very relaxing having my morning coffee on the sun porch. The flowers and trees were just starting to bloom in the garden - making it the perfect canopy for my guests and I to have an early evening cocktail before heading into town for dinner. Very much looking forward to returning in a few months!

We had a great stay at Niall’s house. So convenient to get to restaurants and bars in town yet house is very private. (Gavin’s bar is a two minute walk.) Lots of local things to do nearby (water park, horseback riding, antiquing, etc.) House is very comfortable, cozy, and clean. Weather didn’t cooperate while we were there but there is a large lovely lawn and a beautiful waterfall across the street. Thank you, Niall!

I booked Devra's place on behalf of my parents. Devra was so accommodating to them! They thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Devra's place is within walking distance of many shops and restaurants.

We had a wonderful & relaxing weekend here with a large group for my sister's lowkey bachelorette party. Even with a day of non-stop pouring rain, we were perfectly content with staying in and enjoying the coziness of the house. We had a blast watching the chickens roam around and hanging out with the overly-friendly barn cats while we sat outside. The goats & pigs were happy to greet us at the fence every time. The hot tub and pool were perfect! Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a beautifully scenic and peaceful getaway. Thanks, Sarah & BBVF team!

This is our fifth year coming to the farm. Larissa is absolutely masterful with kids of all ages (even tough kids). My daughter races out at 9 am to do farm chores and begs for more (and this is a kid who drags her feet doing chores at home)!! We love the rhythm of farm and find it really easy to disconnect and unwind. After chores in the morning, you're welcome to spend as much time as you want with the animals, which is a real treat. Whether it's feeding the horses hay, sharing food scraps with the goats, or watching the chickens do their evening routine, there's so much to enjoy. The local towns are lovely, but if you like the farm experience, you may never leave the property. Larissa is incredibly knowledgeable and generous in sharing her experience and expertise. She has created an absolutely magical environment, and I would highly recommend visiting!!

We had a great stay at Michelle’s place. It was very conveniently located to the base of Jiminy Peak, which made getting to and from the mountain very easy. The house was very well appointed and had everything we needed. We used the fireplace twice and it was super easy. Having access to the facilities at The Country Inn at Jiminy Peak was great as I am injured and can’t ski currently, so instead I went to the gym each day. My family didn’t want to leave and my kids are asking when we can go back!

Really just a great weekend! The house was spacious and perfectly accommodated our family. Also perfect distance from town where there is tons to do. Julie was available for questions and was so easy to communicate with. We were in the area to celebrate our son’s college graduation and really could not have selected a more perfect spot!

We loved staying at this quiet paradise! Aaron was very friendly and hospitable. He has a lovely pool, garden, and fire pit, but nothing was more amazing than the view of the mountains from the backyard!

We had a wonderful stay at this Lake Pontoosuc property! The house was spacious, spotless, and beautifully maintained, with amazing lake views from the deck. We truly enjoyed the wide range of activities available: kayaking on the lake, playing cornhole, relaxing by the swimming pool, and ending the evenings around the bonfire by the water under a sky full of stars. Inside, the kitchen was fully equipped for home-cooked meals, and the cozy living room made for perfect family gatherings. The bedrooms were comfortable and roomy, and the entire property, including the lovely garden, felt incredibly welcoming and well cared for. The only minor issue was the WiFi, which was a bit spotty—worth noting if you’re planning to work remotely. But it also helped us unplug and enjoy the experience. We highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a peaceful yet fun-filled lakeside escape. Jay and Stephanie were very helpful and accommodating. We’d absolutely love to come back!

Perfect for our family of 6 adults and 2 kids. Andrew & Tracy were fantastic hosts and the home was nice and spacious. A quick drive brought us to downtown Saratoga and the racetracks! We hope to stay again soon.
