Vacation rentals with a kayak in Albany County

The stay was very neat calm and beautiful location i personally loved the home interior it was great loved the pond . Laura was very responsive thank you so much :) Last but not the least me and my friends loved the cat will miss him ❤️

This was the third time staying here for our family of 4, we spent a winter week. The house is spacious and comfortable. The main draw for us is the vast, very private, secluded, peaceful property. During this trip our kids enjoyed playing with the snow and frozen over lake and exploring the woods. Thank you for a great trip!

Great place tonstay: so much to do, great host and definitely will go back again

If I could design my dream house on my dream property this would be it. Waking up to a wall of glass looking out to a lake was magical. Francois and Ann were beyond responsive.And if that wasn’t enough…they’re pet friendly. Our shih tzu loved exploring the endless grounds and seeing his first deer! We’ll definitely be back.

I stayed at David’s place as part of a research visit at UAlbany. Super convenient location for that. I had two separate bookings at David’s place due to some traveling while in Albany - both stays were equally great. 5-star Airbnb with everything you need and 5-star host who will do everything to help and make your stay as great as possible. Definitely recommend!

Great place to stay, clean , cozy and spacious. The hosts were very welcoming and responded immediately when message. I would definitely book the space again. Thank you so much for having us.

Very comfortable stay and the bathroom was amazing. I would definitely recommend!!

Marika’s house felt like something out of a dream. Our stay was absolutely magical, from the ethereal artwork to the comforting wood fire stove and coziest couch, we loved every second. The stunning views stole our hearts. We stayed during a winter storm and I wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else. The vast windows were perfect for watching the snow fall. Marika is the perfect host, she made us feel so welcome and comfortable. You can feel her wonderful energy all through the gorgeous home. Every nook of the home is filled with intention and exquisite attention to detail. We will be coming back as soon as possible, we fell in love it with all. Deepest gratitude to Marika.

Our stay was amazing. Peaceful and secluded just like we were hoping for as a getaway from the city for us and our pup! Christine was friendly and ready to help if we needed. Our dog loved splashing in the river and the secluded nature of our cabin. Kayaking was a lot of fun and Christine had good recommendations for walking trails and food in the area. We went during her quiet season so it was pretty much just us and it was exactly what we were looking for, can’t wait to return next year.

My husband and I had an AMAZING stay at Francois & Ann’s. They communicated from the beginning, and answered questions quickly. We had a great time at the lake; kayaking, fishing, and roasting s’mores at their fire pit! Their shed was equipped with everything we needed. We also enjoyed local hikes around the area. Then we loved coming back after a cold day to the heater, shower-head, and well-stocked kitchen. Would definitely stay again.

Literally perfect for a weekend getaway from the city! Spacious studio with all necessary amenities and great bathroom and kitchen! Perfect for the fall, close to lots of outdoor stuff to do. We drove to Mt. Greylock and cooked breakfast every day! Didn’t get a chance to try out the fire pit or the lake because of weather but was looking forward to it! Would definitely recommend!

Wow this is a gorgeous location. Kayaked on the river, went to the nature preserve, and that was before we left the house. It is just a stunningly beautiful area. The cabin has a rustic camp vibe (wood walls and ceilings etc) but inside everything was top notch. Beds were shockingly comfortable vs. some other spots we have stayed. It did take us a minute to figure out how the shower worked, but that was nothing at all compared to our overall experience. Thank you!

The place was exactly what we were looking for. We had a large group to ski and watch the Super Bowl and offered just that. The space is very open, especially on the main floor. There are two loft style areas to sleep, a which would have been more of an issue if there wasn’t a second hangout area in the lower level. Overall exactly what we expected and beautiful property.

The cottage is perfect for disconnecting and spending time with the family.

Absolutely perfect. Don't pass up the opportunity to stay at this cabin! She describes it well, beautiful view, private, stunning view. Towpath landing is so cool and Christine has a vision. I was a victim of Hurricane Helene, Christine had such a heard and genuinely cared for me, giving me a place to stay and heal, recover. Highly recommend staying here, supporting the property and it's heart. Not like other places in all the best ways. You'll feel at home, cozy, welcome, relaxed the whole time. The sun room was just the best for sipping coffee and watched leaves fall. Thanks so much for an incredible stay! Can't wait to come back and tell others to visit!

The house was amazing. Beautiful area and lake. The boys fished all weekend. Thank you Margaret.

This location on the river has such an incredible view! I wish we could have stayed longer.

This place was just what we were looking for, and Christine made is so easy, from booking to check out. The cabin was beautiful and the setting just as special.
