Cottage vacation rentals in Capital District, New York

We had a wonderful night! The house was charming, the bed was super comfortable (best nights sleep I’ve had away from home in a very long time!), and the jacuzzi was relaxing! We especially loved all the fireplaces and are looking forward to coming back at a nicer time of year to make better use of the outdoor space!

My stay at the cottage was such a nice way to ring in my 31st birthday. I booked the house 5 days before our stay due to our initial airbnb reservation falling through the cracks and I am so glad it did in hindsight. This place had everything you could ask for, a hot tub, indoor fireplace, in close proximity to Woodstock, comfy beds + hangout areas. Overall our stay was so peaceful and everything we were looking for. I wouldn't hesitate to book your stay!

We had a great stay. Lots of hikes. Star gazing from the hot tub was fabulous!

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at Mike's place - It was perfectly cozy with an amazing hot tub and very usable kitchen. We had to reset the breakers one time and Craig was incredibly responsive in helping us. Checkin and checkout times were made flexible for us, which we greatly appreciated. Would love to come back soon!

We had a wonderful time at Amanda’s place. We just needed a quick get away to relax and it was perfect! The place is in a great location very quiet, beautiful trails to walk on plenty of restaurants to order from and lots of other things to do very close by and the place was immaculate. It had everything we needed and more. Amanda was a great host and responded immediately to any questions and it was also perfect for our dog who loved the fenced in backyard and really enjoyed the walks on the trails. The hot tub and fire pit were a bonus and we spent a lot of time enjoying them. Overall, a great spot to spend time and I would recommend it to anyone who just wants to get away be comfortable and enjoy all that Saratoga has to offer. We will definitely be returning in the near future. Kim from Catskill

Brendon’s place was just perfect for a gals weekend getaway! We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, played the many fun games in the house, relaxed in the hot tub and enjoyed a night out on the town in nearby Saratoga Springs. 10/10 would stay again!

We will go back for the summer!! They are absolutely the best! I felt like home!! They didn't make us feel uncomfortable!! We felt like that was our home!! Thank you so much for all!! You guys are absolutely the best!!!

We always stay at Little Willow when we go skiing at Belle Ayre. I think our three years and running relationship with the house tell you all you need to know about working with the Little and Littler gang and their spot.

I booked Nidhi's place for one night for myself and a guest to attend a show at Bearsville. The placement of everything, inside and outside, created an intentional sense of comfort. My guest arrived after me - without a thought, we ended up at the kitchen table talking for hours before the show. Again, the placement of this conversation spot felt intentional, but only after we found ourselves engaged in it. The outdoor surroundings are utilized to not only accent, but to enhance the indoor setting. The whole experience felt private and safe, and allowed us to share a really precious window of time for reconnection and decompression. In addition to the appealing aesthetics (the chosen blue for that kitchen!), the bedding was a treat to come back to at the end of the night - so inviting and equally comforting to find yourself wrapped up in in the morning. Nidhi so kindly messaged me out of concern for the very high winds we were experiencing (prepared with a generator), but no issue.

Adorable cottage absolutely ideal for unplugging and relaxing

House was great location, very comfortable- Kimberlie was awesome, thanks for your kindness. Lauren N

A perfect spot to get away for the weekend. First, the view out the front door is top notch. Situated at just the right distance from town, we were able to hike, explore and eat well, and then easily head back to the Airbnb for some R&R. The area was peaceful, the beds were amazing, and the bathroom was fully stocked if we forgot anything. We checked out Saugerties Lighthouse to stretch our legs after travel. We loved breakfast at Josie’s, dinner at Miss Lucy’s and The Dutch, and ice cream at Sawyer’s. We explored some spots on the Hudson River School Art Trail: The Thomas Cole National Historic Site, Kaaterskill Falls, Platt Cove Preserve, and Falling Water Preserve. A perfect Catskills Airbnb that is dog friendly to boot! 10/10.

We stayed for 4 nights during our mini vacation and found the house to be very comfortable and just what we were looking for. Would stay again in the future.

Loved our stay in this beautiful cottage, perfect for the 2 of us. Extremely clean and beautifully decorated with a TV that had all the movie channels. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed, including delicious coffee . The bed was incredibly comfortable, slept like a baby. Pillows and blankets added to the comfy feel of home. Mark is a wonderful host who insured that the driveway was free of snow and ice prior to our arrival Highly recommend visiting.

Cute little pad to explore the Hudson Valley from! Would recommend to anyone looking for an easy-going place to stay in Pine Plains.

We had a wonderful stay at Bear Cottage. The house accommodated our family of four, with each of us in our own private bedroom and sharing two full bathrooms. We especially enjoyed lounging on the front porch, just off main street and an easy walking distance to all the stores in town as well as a nice local hike (Tanbark Loop). We also enjoyed the backyard, which was spacious enough for lawn games and included a nice fireplace.

My girlfriends and I chose to come up for a girls weekend. This place was so peaceful and relaxing. There was nothing better than starting our morning on the deck with a coffee and good book. We fortunately had the best weather and spent most of our time on the lake with the provided paddle boards and kayaks. When we came back to the cabin it was so well stocked it was easy to prepare food, and the host was so proactive we knew where to find everything. We had the most beautiful weekend!

Great host and place was exactly as described. Thanks again, would recommend to anyone!

My husband and I stayed here with our toddler and had an amazing mini getaway from home for a few days! The place was easy to childproof with the baby gates and outlet covers we brought from home and our baby loved exploring the new space. My husband is an avid fisherman and loved the area and caught some trout right near the house! We would recommend this place to anyone who wants to disconnect and be in nature for a while.

Highly recommend! We came to visit our daughters at Skidmore; perfect location! The cottage is beautiful and perfect for my wife and I, Kim and Ray were wonderful, friendly hosts!

The house was absolutely perfect and was exactly as advertised. Catherine did an amazing job with all the personal touches to the house that made us feel right at home and was super responsive. We would definitely rent her place again. Thank you!!!

What a wonderful place—cozy, warm, and incredibly inviting. Our hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, even texting us weather updates when it started snowing to make sure we were safe. Their thoughtfulness really stood out. We truly enjoyed our stay and are already thinking of coming back in the summer to experience the beautiful countryside in a different season. A solid 10/10—highly, highly recommend!

Megan’s place was perfect for our trip back to upstate. We left the air bnb wishing we could just live there as it was perfect for our family. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future

great location quiet and fun for the kids. nice cabins
