Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Niskayuna

Beautiful home on quiet, peaceful grounds, and adjacent to nature preserve with hiking trail. John is a friendly, responsive host.

We had the BEST TIME at this fantastic Lakeside house in Valatie!  The house itself has 3 good bedrooms – 2 large bedrooms upstairs with a nice bathroom and tub.  The downstairs has the other cute bedroom, another full bathroom,  a good sized kitchen open to a great and large living and dining area. The VIEW from the main room is stunning and was our ‘TV’ for the week.  The lake is just gorgeous!  It has a little dock with kayaks and plenty of nice seating and lounge chairs.  It’s great to have a full grass lawn !  The pups loved the house and the yard and the lake!  The house was super clean and roomy but cozy in it’s feel.  So many great little towns nearby – it was just the perfect house to get away from the city!  The community was chill, even tho it was Memorial Day weekend.  Thanks to Michael who was super responsive (not that we needed anything!) but if we had a question. Etc.  Thank you Michael ! We hope to be back for another visit !!!  

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

Beautiful space. Amazing countryside vibes. Fun hike down to the waterfall, great kitchen for cooking and a fun night in. There was lots of quaint stuff to do in nearby Middleburgh: thrifting, diners, 50s milkshake bar, antique book stores, hikes, breweries, and more. We loved that there was so many towels for the sauna and swimming. One note: give yourself a lot of time for the sauna to heat up. Instructions were clear and they gave us lots of local recs. Also LOVED the hammocks -- lots of cozy nooks to hang for a chill girls weekend. We might be back again! A great stay.

We spent the weekend in the area and Tim’s place was fantastic. It’s loaded with charm, comfortable and very well appointed and stocked (right down to treats for the dog). The location is beautiful and the views are amazing. Can’t wait to return!

Had a great stay at this Airbnb—peaceful and scenic with an incredible waterfall right on the property. My dog had a blast exploring the trails and walking along the stream (I even braved a few cold dips myself!). Not much nearby, so it was a nice change of pace to cook and unwind—just be sure to check for ticks after those hikes!

EXCEPTIONAL! We can't say enough about how perfect our stay was. The Lake House is amazing. Great view, cozy, super clean. You can't ask for more. Will definitely come back and recommend highly.

Perfect getaway from home to spend some quality time by the lake. It was another home away from home. Chris and Rose were very friendly and so is the neighborhood.

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!

Beautiful gem, fantastic hosts. Wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you!

We had a great time! Beautiful, cozy and unique place. Perfectly located to explore the area.

We had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Peaceful location and very comfortable. Yasiel was kind and responsive - check-in was super easy. Would definitely stay again!

We had a great stay. Very convenient check-in and check-put process. Enjoyed having a lot of things to do at the house and in the community. Thanks!

Joe’s place was perfect for attending a family event in the capital district. Our event was at SPAC. There is plenty of space for enjoying family together time. The fenced-in back yard was ideal for playing yard games and visiting dogs. All the kitchen appliances were modern technology. The bedrooms were good sized, and the bathrooms were well located. The neighborhood was very family friendly, great for early morning walks. We would stay again for a family event in the area.

Robert was an excellent host. Proactively reached out with help to find the home, and a whole host of recommendations. Great space, very private, and had everything you could need.

Enjoyed our stay. Private, comfortable, and quiet. And also a fairly quick and easy drive to Latham, Colonie, and all the other Albany area locations.

We had an amazing time and experience! Christine was very attentive and was able to provide us with some firewood to make our stay warm and cozy. The view was the best part. I loved how quiet, peaceful, and secluded we were in the woods. There is also a very nice trail nearby where we saw a ton of wildlife early in the morning like a beaver, a snake, and a couple blue herons. Overall it was a very fun time!

Nice little spot. I stayed just one night with a friend and his gf for an event the next day. Weather was terrible while we were there, which made us really appreciate the big TV, movie collection, streaming account and book selections.

This historic home is very clean, tastefully decorated, and has comfy beds. Another plus is the shower has plenty of warm water. The half bath downstairs has a nice washer and dryer. There were plenty of clean towels and blankets during our stay. I loved the location, as it is a safe neighborhood to walk around. Less than a quarter mile, there is a historic church with a beautiful garden. There is also a nice park on the river just down the side street. Many great places to eat within are within a few miles radius. Some we liked were Katie O'Byrnes, The Ritz on Union (good Italian food), Druther's Brewing Co, and the Iron Gate Cafe. Arthur's Market, directly across the street, is a nice place to get coffee, tea, baked goods, salads, and quiche. Although there is a little neighborhood traffic on front facing street, it is fairly quiet and relaxing at this location.

I had a wonderful time at Justine's beautiful countryside, modern farmhouse. Gorgeous setting up high in the mountain range with an incredible view of the mountainside. Open lot with lot's of space. Absolutely gorgeous open first floor concept with incredible deck. Super comfortable and great kitchen set up with all you need to cook. House is well stocked with necessities. Upstairs is lovely and both bedrooms are super comfortable with room darkening shades and nice ceiling fans. I could sit for hours and look at the mountains. Like you are in your own heaven. Justine lives in a private cabin on the property and comes and goes which I really liked as she was super accessible and not in your way at all. She was so gracious and I had a great time. 5 star property. You will not be disappointed. Great hiking destinations and lakes nearby and 3 cute restaurants with in a 10 to 15 minute drive. You are in the country and it is amazing. Thank you Justine! Beautiful art!

Liz is such a lovely host and her place is welcoming and cozy with all of the extra touches. I extended my stay for a month and had everything I needed for my things and cooking meals. I felt right at home and highly recommend!

This is, hands down, the best place I’ve stayed since I’ve been traveling to NY. Brian is a great host and the property is amazing. Dig the off grid location and setup. Tranquility and peace is what you seek? This is it.

Nicole was awesome! Met us right out front and went over everything. Was very understanding about the fact that sometimes, dogs bark. Bed is suuuper comfortable! Everything you need is there. Really nice area if you like to get out and walk around. We will definitely be back again when the weather is nicer!

We were in town for several reasons, a wedding, a graduation and a deployment. The townhouse was exactly what we needed to accomplish and accommodate all that we needed to do.
