Winston's Place - Woodland Cozy Catskills Cabin
I think this may be our 5th time to the house. Come up from the city for fishing and it’s beyond the perfect spot. It’s truly a perfect spot for access to water and hiking. Couldn’t ask for a better host!

A Victorian "Lady"
Well kept clean old house and furnishings. Terrific unobstructed view of the Hudson from two of the bedrooms and living room facing East. I loved sitting by the bay window in the master bedroom with the sun shining in watching barges on the river and with views of the town of Hudson on the far side of the river. The owners stuff was in the closets and refrigerator and freezer full of her food but that did not bother me. I appreciate having condiments, salt, sugar and pepper available. There is a washer/dryer but no dishwasher and only one bathroom. Also no shades on the East facing window in the master bedroom so light streamed in at sunrise.

Hudson New York Grey Victorian
This house was perfect for our girls’ weekend in Hudson! It was spacious, clean, and had so much character. The location was great—just a short 5-minute drive to Warren Street. We didn’t walk due to the cold weather but it was definitely close and convenient. Would definitely stay here again!

15 min to Woodstock/Saugerties/Hunter (2 bedroom)
Good location, nice cozy place. Easy to follow instructions from the host, who was also quickly responsive.

A sunny, quiet chalet beautifully decorated.
Beautiful, clean and great location! We were up skiing at Catamount so the location was ideal, and the sauna was a nice treat everyday. The house is beautifully decorated and spacious and open. There are a few different levels so plenty of room to spread around with a separate spacious TV/exercise/bunk room in one of the levels. The 2 king beds and twin beds in the bedrooms were all very comfortable and each of the bedroom had their own bathroom next door. The kitchen is fully stocked with kitchenware and necessities/spices etc. Kids went sledding and we even hiked up several times to the top of the hill with great views. Carolyn was very responsive and accommodating.

Sweeping mountain views in Woodstock, NY
We had a lovely stay! The place was very relaxing, peaceful, and surrounded by nature, yet still close to Woodstock. One of the highlights was seeing a family of deer right outside our window — such a special moment. The hosts were also incredibly accommodating, providing a highchair and pack ’n play for our infant, which made our stay so much easier. We truly appreciated their thoughtfulness and hospitality. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet getaway close to town.

Serendipity Lake House on Lake Heloise
Very large and nice open space in the house. Family of 6 felt very comfortable and we could have had more join. Quick drive to windham to ski and spent evenings in front of fire playing cards. Kitchen has everything you need for nights in.

Woodstock Secluded Close to Town
They were very friendly with very well laid out labels and instructions. Beautiful view with a very private location. so nice to have a hot tub next to the private woods.

The Berkshires Mountain Terrace LUX Home Sleeps 7
This was a beautiful and well kept home and was a delight to stay in. Natalia was also a lovely and communicative host. We had no issues and would happily stay there again.

Downtown Saratoga Springs Carriage House.
Wonderful place for 4 old friends to gather together for a weekend. Donal was a great host, and has created a space that’s not just clean, but also neat and welcoming. Given the size of this property, that’s not easy. Pictures don’t do it justice, and we were surprised by how nice the place is. Downstairs bedroom is enormous, and so’s the en-suite bathroom there. Everything we wanted to do was an easy walk away. One of the nicest places I’ve stayed in, and would love to return there next year.

Chalet with HotTub 5 min to Windham, 15 min Hunter
Amazing location, calm and private. A lot of wildlife and close breweries! Would definitely stay there again! 💕

Airy 5Br-2Ba,Kids Rm, 6TVs,Pvt Fence-yard&Parking!
Rashawn's place was great! Near downtown Albany, and plenty of sleeping space. Great for any size groups.

Open Plan Living; Mountain Views
Mary was a very nice, responsive and welcoming host . I would definitely stay at Halcott House again

Beautiful, cozy house for rent
Lovey home and very convenient location in Willamstown. Would highly recommend.

Historic Home, Downtown Schenectady
Stunning 3 story home in the Stockade area of Schenectady. My guests and I worked at Proctor's Theater, a 20 min walk. There are about 4 steps to get up to the front door, easy code access front door. Inside are the most gorgeous floors I have ever seen. The downstairs is so lovely, large open living room/kitchen with all amenities. LOVED the gas fireplace, starts up and turns off with a remote in seconds. Lovely and comfortable furnishings, fresh flowers in the kitchen and in my 2nd floor bedroom. (I didn't go up to the 3rd floor). Large full bathroom with jacuzzi tub and washer/dryer. Very comfortable bed and nice linens. The 2nd floor has a lovely reading nook on the landing. Loved the lighting in this 1790 home, loved everything about it. Quiet neighborhood. Parking is either on the street (not so easy to find at night) or a block away at a lot the owner has an agreement with. Cannot say enough great things about this home. I've stayed in over 100 Airbnb's and this is the best ever

Cozy 3 bedroom summer winter home
Great house in walking distance of Hunter Mountain.

Mike and Wendy's space was exactly what we were looking for. it was comfortable with all the amenities of a personal home, it was very clean and welcoming. The fridge was stocked with drinks and condiments and the bathroom had extra toiletries! Great restaurants close by.

Charming 2BD apartment.
Beautiful, clean home just a few minutes away from the centers of Lenox or Lee in either direction! We had a great time relaxing and enjoying the food nearby :)

Chic Hudson Apartment - In the heart of Hudson, NY
This place is fabulous! I was looking for a place for a long weekend retreat and was delighted to find this listing. The apartment is large, well appointed, and very clean. Below is a gorgeous spa/yoga center, where I treated myself to two treatments over the long weekend. All around are great restaurants and shops. I didn’t get in my car once after parking because I just wanted to soak up the serenity of this apartment, the spa below, and the historic street in Hudson. I envision returning with my husband, with friends, and alone for another personal retreat. Thank you for such a great stay!

Garden Apartment in Ctr. Square: Monthly Discounts
Got lucky that it freed up a couple of days before I booked. Great spot, and even got me a parking pass so I could park on the street. Host was responsive and that's really important to me. I'd highly recommend and might book there again!

Great Saratoga Location
Dan was a terrific host. We let him know we’d arrive late, & when we pulled up in front, he came outside to greet us and carry our bags. He stocked the kitchen with some essentials & some extras, the coffee & filters were much appreciated. He was pleasant & friendly, and we recommend his place to anyone visiting Saratoga Springs. Easy walk to Skidmore.

Perfect Location! Walk to track and downtown!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay at Ellen and Chris’s place in Saratoga! They went above and beyond to make us feel right at home and welcomed—from the delicious fresh cookies waiting for us, to thoughtful local dinner recommendations, to a couple of truly lovely conversations. The apartment itself was cozy, spotless, and beautifully decorated with such care and personality. There were so many delightful little touches that made the space feel alive, welcoming, and peaceful. It was the perfect blend of charm and comfort. The location is unbeatable: a quiet, neighborhood-y vibe with easy access to the heart of Saratoga Springs. Whether we were walking to restaurants, exploring nearby parks, or just relaxing indoors, it felt like the ideal home base. We’ve stayed in many Airbnbs, but this one stands out! We will absolutely be back—and would recommend this gem to anyone looking for a warm, thoughtful, and memorable stay in Saratoga Springs!

Downtown Saratoga Springs!
Wonderful rental. Clean, spacious, lovely kitchen and dishwasher. Wine glasses provided. Excellent!!

VDT BnB 65 River St. Apt#2
Scott is a fantastic host, welcomed us and made us feel right at home. Super friendly and if I come back to the area I’ll be sure to stay there again!
