Family-friendly vacation rentals in Putnam County

This place is such a gem - we loved staying here. It feels really secluded and peaceful. The vintage decor is cozy and charming, and there are tons of books everywhere - perfect for lazy afternoons. We saw lots of wildlife right outside, which made it feel like a real escape. If you’re looking for somewhere private to unwind with a lot of character, you’ll love it here!

The house was lovely and very clean and Piotr was an excellent host and even met us at check in to show us around. There are 4 bedrooms and each bedroom has its own bathroom which was very convenient for us. The kitchen was well stocked and It was very comfortable stay for my family of 7 adults and two babies and two dogs. One bedroom is on the main floor and two bedrooms are on the walkout lower level and one bedroom is on the upper floor. To get to the upper floor there is a steep winding staircase that wasn’t an issue for us, but I would not recommended it for small children or toddlers. The outdoor hot tub was a nice addition.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Stephen’s house! my brother came with his 3 kids and they had so much fun that they didn’t want to leave. There were plenty of activities to keep them entertained, and the pool was perfect. The grill and outdoor space provided exactly what we needed for some enjoyable family time. It was a perfect trip that truly felt good for the soul!

The house was just like the pictures. However, a picture couldn't capture the tranquility and beauty of the view from the house and private large quiet patio. The swans passed by along w other birds! Walkable into town for restaurants, CVS or the local park/lake. A few blocks away was a well stocked little market owned by a hospitable man. The neighbors were very friendly; the community very safe. Easy driving on HWY 17 to many local places nearby, that includes the wineries.

We loved our stay in Paula's gorgeous villa! The home was lovely and beautiful, just as pictured and described, and we loved the art. The only slight improvement would've been more lighting in the living room area, but there was plenty of lighting elsewhere (or maybe we couldn't turn on the ceiling light quite correctly). The hot tub and amenities were all fantastic and there was more than enough space for our group of 8. Paula and her husband were kind enough to snow blow our cars and de-ice the driveway as well, which was much appreciated! They were also highly responsive whenever we had questions and were very welcoming and informative, even telling us about a walking path that we unfortunately didn't have time to try out. We had a great time and would highly recommend for large group stays!

Jim and Heather’s house was a wonderful escape from NYC. We loved sitting by the fire, relaxing in the hot tub, reading in any number of nooks, cooking meals, taking winter walks in the backyard trails and taking lovely nearby hikes. Jim and Heather were proactive with their information, checked in to see how things were going, and responded quickly and helpfully when we had questions. From the minute we arrived, we felt at home, and it really seemed like that what was Heather and Jim hoped would happen.

Another great weekend at Jane’s with our kids. They love the driveway to scooter, the hot tub, the fire pit and the pond. Thanks Jane! We will be back next year!

We had a lovely weekend at Claudine's. The property is serene. The house is very well equipped and comfortable. We also loved having the sauna. We wanted to grill, but propane was not included in the grill and incurred an extra cost or we had to bring our own tank. For the price and nature of the house, including something like this seems fair. All in all we had a wonderful stay.

Suzanne was a fantastic host and the house was everything we expected…just as described and pictured! Extremely responsive, great communication and a perfect place for our long weekend getaway close to family! We will return!

Great for exploring Beacon and the Hudson Valley. Great communication for a last minute reservation and the space was as described. Hot water was good. Very quiet and comfortable. Beautiful view from backyard. Great covered porch. Suggestions to host: - a better desk for working from a laptop. The dining table and old style desk aren’t the best for that. - better curtains. I didn’t mind as the area is very dark at night and I like to wake up with the sun, but they are very sheer and even missing from certain windows in the den. If you want to sleep in the light may wake you up early. - a small table or the like for the backyard. The covered porch is great but something fully in the sun would be nice.

This is a great place for a family week/weekend. The kitchen is amazingly well stocked and made cooking family meals super fun. The house itself is more beautiful in person than it is in pictures and John was an incredibly responsive and generous host.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Gaby's home. Unlike many Airbnb hosts who design their spaces to feel like generic hotels, Gaby’s place radiated warmth, personality, and charm. It felt like a home that had been truly lived in and loved, with thoughtful, personal touches like family photos, unique art, and an impressive collection of books that added so much character. Gaby herself was an incredible host—always responsive, friendly, and approachable. She’s the kind of person I'd love to sit down and chat with. The setting was absolutely stunning. We had snow, the lake was frozen, and the wintry view was really peaceful. The abundance of wildlife made it even more special—we spotted deer, bald eagles, a couple of foxes who visited every morning, and even a bobcat prancing around the house one evening. We also love to cook, and Gaby’s kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need to play chef If you’re looking for an authentic and unforgettable Airbnb experience

My parents and I really enjoyed our stay at Mark’s. His house was beautifully situated right on Lake Mahopac with plenty to do in town and in the surrounding area. Everything was as described and met all of our needs. Mark was extremely accommodating with our length of stay (~ 6 weeks) and allowing us to bring our animals (2 dachshunds, 1 cat). Check-in was easy and upon arrival we were greeted with a gift basket and a binder with all sorts of info (emergency, food, fun activities). The backyard was beautiful, completely fenced in, and super convenient for the pups. When we had questions, all we had to do was send off a quick text and Mark responded in a timely manner. I can’t recommend Mark’s place enough!

Wonderful place, wonderful hosts, loved it!!

We love this place! Easy to get to, wonderful little private cottage close to town, train, and hiking trails. Lovely kitchen with a full size fridge and oven, toaster & microwave so you can bring your own food and cook/bake as you like! Dog-friendly too!

Chris’ place was immaculately decorated and felt peaceful! Beautiful spot right on the pristine lake, foliage being in peak season definitely made things even better. Close to fun fall towns like Sleepy Hollow and Cold Spring, but honestly could just spend every minute relaxing at the well-stocked home. You can tell Chris and his family take pride in their home and are happy to share it to price the best experience for their guests. Chris was quick to respond if needed and went out of his way to make a trip quickly to ensure we were properly taken care of at the home. 10/10 - would recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Todd's place! Todd greeted us warmly and was very responsive. The pool was fantastic and surrounded by beautiful nature, making it a serene spot to relax. We stayed in the pool apartment, which looked out at the pool and stunning backyard. It was well-equipped with a kitchen, pool towels, a TV, couches, and a dining table. Wendy, Todd's wife, welcomed us with cookies, and they provided milk, orange juice, eggs, yogurt, and fruits. There was also a grill available. We stayed for three nights and enjoyed the pool a lot. Despite being a shared pool, there was plenty of space and time for everyone. We also used the tennis court and played some basketball at the basketball rink there. Todd and Wendy made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. We highly recommend their place!

Nice, quiet spot in a lovely small town in Connecticut. Well appointed and short drive to everything in the area.

Place was perfect! Clean & made our Holiday stay in the beautiful Hudson Valley a wonderful experience. We loved the personal touches the house offered and we will be back

This was our third stay at Marybeth's, everything was great, as usual. The unit is spacious, clean, and very conveniently located.

We had an amazing and relaxing time at Igals beautiful house. The house is set back away from the street for the ultimate private get a way. The kids loved the pool Wich was very refreshing and cool for the hot summer days. Igal was extremely responsive and accommodating to all of our needs! We will definitely be returning in the future:)

Some exceptional aspects of the home- the beautiful drive from New York to the home, the wonderful physical location, the peaceful and quiet surroundings, the modern architecture, elegant and well-appointed furniture, very comfortable beds and linens, beautiful outdoor spaces, pristine swimming pool, complete chef’s kitchen, excellent internet speed, clean bathrooms with good water pressure, spectacular views and sunsets, and most of all the kindness, warmth, generosity and responsiveness of the hosts.

We had a great stay that fit our needs, and a good gathering space for family in the area to come have dinner and visit. The kids loved the arcade machine! Sitting on the porch to have coffee and look out at the lake was very relaxing. Thank you!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home for the holidays! The house is spacious and immaculately decorated, with thoughtful touches that made it feel warm and inviting. The layout was perfect for hosting our family gatherings, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. The kitchen was fully equipped, making meal prep a breeze, and the cozy living areas were ideal for relaxing.. The quiet suburban setting offered a peaceful retreat, while still being close to everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to create lasting holiday memories. Highly recommend!
