Cottage vacation rentals in Central New York

A lovely, cozy cottage perfect for a couple’s getaway. Homey decor, very comfortable bed, decent water pressure and a wonderful little kitchen with pans and utensils needed for home cooked meals. We had a wonderful time feeling at home and comfortable here. The host is friendly and responsive and gave very easy and clear instructions for arrival and departure. Would definitely stay here again.

The place smells amazing and the bedding is so soft and delicious. Perfect place to get away and be in nature.

Really cool spot, enjoyed the walk to the lake and the hot tub. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay there again

Gorgeous house, super clean and tidy inside, with comfy and modern furniture. The hot tub was fantastic, make sure you turn off the lights so you can see the stars! The only other heads up I’ll give is that the way to get in is through the back entrance! We tried the front door for like 5 minutes until the electronic lock blocked us from continuing haha. Great location to get away from the city for a weekend and go hiking. Lots of great trails really close by.

"Heather's place is an amazing getaway—immaculately clean, spacious, and perfectly situated right on the lake. The beautiful surroundings and well-equipped facilities make it ideal for a relaxing stay. It comfortably accommodates large groups, especially families with kids. Heather was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely love to return!"

This place is such a gem. Attention to detail and comfort was incredible. Our girls’ weekend was perfection. The sauna is a must, the view from the hot tub is gorgeous (even in an icestorm), the pottery for coffee was stunning, the beds were soooo comfortable, loads of towels for all of our spa activities, heated floors and a stellar Woodstove. The only problem is that with all of these amenities, you don’t want to leave to explore the area… that’s why next time we will book a longer stay! Thank you Ken and Rachel for this little slice of heaven.

We loved our stay at this gorgeous lakeside home. It was beautifully decorated and clean, with great facilities (firepit, hot tub, games room, pedalo), a well-equipped kitchen, and comfy beds. Also a lovely, quiet location, but not too far from Kingston. We'd definitely come back again.

Very cozy retreat. Loved the jacuzzi and stone grill and outdoor area. Nice bathroom and beds! Bilen was helpful and communicative! Would definitely stay again.

Adorable cottage absolutely ideal for unplugging and relaxing

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

Darla’s cottage was such a sweet spot for a weekend getaway. Super cozy, clean, and peaceful—exactly what we were looking for. It felt tucked away in the woods but still really easy to get to, and just a few minutes down the road from Rough Cut Brewing, which was a big plus. We loved being able to grab some beers, then come back and relax inside. Darla was a great host—friendly, but gave us plenty of space. Would totally stay again next time we’re in the area!

Thank you so much for the perfect getaway stay! Everything was as described and more. Perfect sleeps were had, kitchen was well equipped for all the late night creations, comfy reading spots throughout the home. Comfort levels were absolutely met! We enjoyed it immensely and can't wait to stay again soon.

My family, dog and I had an incredible weekend visit! It was our first time to the area and we already want to come back. Consuelo was a fantastic host! Consuelo was so easy to get a hold of for questions and was so friendly. The place was very organized, quaint and gorgeous. Thank you for a fantastic time! :)

Brian and Melissa’s place is lovely. Very clean. Furniture and beds extremely comfortable and great location across from the Lake and about 5-7 miles from the cute town of Skaneatles. We were there on a rainy night but did take the short walk across the street to the dock which was beautiful. It’s a nice place even on a cold rainy night with the electric fireplace and comfortable couches! I’m sure it would be a great summer spot too!

Highly recommend this cottage! Beautiful views right across the street from the lake. Comfortable beds, 1.5 baths, it was perfect for a girls weekend getaway with 5 girls. (2 shared a room, one slept on a futon in the living room) but plenty of space and comfortable! The first night our heat wasn’t working, I messaged Catherine and she came over right away. She was helpful and got the heat working and super prompt. Definitely want to go back!!!

Debra and Mike were great hosts and have created a very warm, inviting and comfortable place for those seeking to explore the Catskills. It's a home away from home! There's a grill available which we made great use of, a fire pit to enjoy nature and star gazing, and their two dogs Luna and Roxy are extremely friendly. Highly recommend their place!

What a perfect weekend getaway a stone's throw from NYC! We stayed in the two-bedroom bungalow which was spotless and cozy and beautifully designed. The whole property is really lovely with various nooks to hang out in and fire pits to keep you warm outdoors. I particularly loved swimming in the hot pool in the middle of a surreal, snowy landscape with only the sound of nature around me. This was such a peaceful stay and I would not hesitate to come back. I'd also highly recommend the Seminary Hill Orchard & Cidery as a nearby activity/lunch spot not to be missed - it was a standout experience in every way and they even have snowshoes you can rent to traipse around the property before recovering at Rest Co : )

Excellent stay for the Easter Weekend.

Lovely space - just like the pictures. A little tricky to find the first time, but its location is part of what makes it so peaceful. The cottage was perfect for our needs and the hot tub was delightful. David answered all our inquiries promptly and even let us check in early when I asked. We had some issues with the internet service, but that was clearly weather-related. And although he was unable to resolve the issue before we checked out, David was very responsive and reached out to the internet company right away and made every effort to get it fixed.

The cottage was the perfect size for our family of four. The resort had great amenities for young kids (pool, playground, etc) and is just a 10 min drive from Sandbanks provincial park. Our wonderful host was very responsive and kindly organized our parking permits at Sandbanks. We would definitely return!

Second time coming staying at Sam’s. Just as magical and peaceful as before. Can’t wait to come again next year.

Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay during the last week of August! Some of our favourite parts of the place include: the canoes/kayaks that were available to use at our leisure, the check-in process being seamless, the essentials being provided (all kitchen supplies, beach towels, shower supplies), the other amenities (board games, BBQ). The place itself is quite beautiful. The dock with the chairs, the fire pit (even though we did not use) and the solarium were all stunning. I would just mention that it is a bit smaller of a place inside, so did find it a bit cozy and tight in the rooms. Also, the place is supplied with quite a loud window AC so sometimes it would get a bit loud/warm in the place. However, we would still give the place a 5/5 all things considered.

We only stayed for one night to break our journey up as we were heading to Niagara Falls , absolutely gorgeous location a step away from the lake with breathtaking scenery , perfect to sit out on the patio enjoying the scenery and having a drink and chill , beds were very comfortable we both slept well , welcome basket was a nice touch , we used the kitchen and made our own dinner and table was gorgeous to sit at , would recommend to anyone who enjoys relaxing and great views

We were so excited to spend a peaceful weekend in the Adirondacks, and this is the perfect place! The living area was warm and cozy, the kitchen had everything that we needed, the bathroom was clean and updated. The seating was comfortable and the smart TV was a good size for the space. The beds were also comfortable. The surroundings were beautiful in the snow, which was plowed regularly during a two-day snow storm. We were just a few minutes drive from town, which always has lots to do. The grocery store is well-stocked and there are lots of fun shops. The host was very clear with instructions in the listing, and very accommodating while we were there. She even sent someone to make sure that we could all make it up the driveway in the snow storm (which was no problem at all for us with AWD). We wanted to go back to the cabin as soon as we got home, since we already missed the peace, quiet, and beauty. We will certainly go back again. Thank you for having us!
