Family-friendly vacation rentals in Rensselaer County

We had a great stay at Michelle’s place. It was very conveniently located to the base of Jiminy Peak, which made getting to and from the mountain very easy. The house was very well appointed and had everything we needed. We used the fireplace twice and it was super easy. Having access to the facilities at The Country Inn at Jiminy Peak was great as I am injured and can’t ski currently, so instead I went to the gym each day. My family didn’t want to leave and my kids are asking when we can go back!

The place is spacious and clean. Small issues were fixed quickly. I recommend connecting to the host via text message, rather than the Airbnb app, because some Airbnb messages were not received. The house is located close to Jiminy Peak and sits on a secluded lot, quite a distance from the road, so you don't hear passing cars. I highly recommend using a car capable of 4-wheel drive if you arrive in the winter. Even after the host had the driveway plowed, it tends to be icy and very slippery in the winter, as it is very long and steep. The beds and living room were very comfortable. The wood fire stove is in the vestibule, when you take off your shoes. It is not like a fire place in the living room. We have a nice stay.

This was a great place to stay as a family for a ski trip! Easy ski on/ski off access to the mountain with ski lockers was a huge plus. Easy enough to walk to a few restaurants. The kids love the movie theater, pool and game room. Very clean and friendly/helpful staff at front desk.

We always book with Dawn! Her place is amazing. We feel right at home. She ensures the house has everything you could need in case you forget something. There are extra details to make your stay more comfortable. Her linens are softer than mine at home! There is plenty of space for my family of five to stay comfortably. I highly recommend booking here! We can’t wait until our next stay here.

We had such a great time at Rob&Julia's place. Very good communication, great location, the place was sparkling clean! I will definitely come back again with my family! One of my best experiences

A peaceful, private, comfortable, extremely clean, place to stay. Pretty much has everything you need with the exception of “personals”. Perfect place. This was our second time staying and Miriam is fantastic to communicate with. Very friendly, welcoming, and responds quickly if needed. We enjoy the friendly atmosphere each flat provides. Definitely worth the price.

The apartment was very clean, very comfortable, and really spacious. Though not close to downtown, restaurants, and so on, the neighborhood was quiet and it was only a short drive to dining options and activities. We would definitely stay again, and we may well do so in future, as we have family in the area.

We always stay with Frank when we visit RPI. He's place is a great value and he's very responsive and helpful. Great for families who want more bedrooms for privacy. Shop across the street is handy for last minutes snacks or ice cream. Thanks Frank!

The space is very comfortable with the king size bedroom and a good 2nd bedroom with comfortable beds. The full kitchen was perfect for our stay. I has to be careful because my companion has a mobility disability and I wanted to ensure parking would be easy and close to the front door. There was plenty of parking, good railing on the front steps, and my friend used the room next to the bathroom. The apartment location was a very convenient 1.3 miles away from the concert we were coming to see.

A rustic, charming, and treehouse-like stay in the Berkshires. The house is not modern by any means but has a wonderful, well-loved, and lived-in feel. Elissa was an incredible host and very responsive. We really enjoyed exploring Jiminy peak, Cherry Plain State Park, rowing and swimming in the pond, exploring the Farmer's market in Troy, kayaking along the Hudson near Albany, and hiking to Kinderhook creek. Our family also enjoyed berry picking at Berry Patch Farms (and getting their CSA). I'm sure the trees here would be incredible in the fall. We were lucky enough to catch the Perseid meteor shower, Saturn, Jupiter, and the super moon while we were here. The Wifi was good enough for zoom calls but definitely would cut out whenever we used the microwave. All-in-all a lovely getaway and very close to hiking trails.

We just had another wonderful stay in Buskirk! Constance is the best host! She attends to every detail and makes it all so comfortable. The house is very clean and well equipped. We look forward to another stay in the future.

a wonderful little gem in an area that has very few accommodations. the vibe was great and we had loads of fun putting the 2k piece pokemon puzzle together

Frank was very responsive and a great host. The place was not fancy and was close to traffic, but he had fans and AC which allowed me to drown out the noises outdoors. I appreciated the price and convenience and would certainly stay here again.

nice apartment, friend wanted to live there

Absolutely Splendid.

We had such a great time at Rob&Julia's place. Very good communication, great location, the place was sparkling clean! I will definitely come back again with my family! One of my best experiences

Pulling into the driveway we knew this was a special Oasis. The grand pine trees lining the drive and yard were stunning. Then.. the Gardens. My how beautiful! We watched a new bird family spread their wings for the first time... butterflies visited wherever we were in the garden, yard and pool... The pups enjoyed every moment of the deck, house and incredible yard! And.. the Pool! A huge hit for all! Warm and beautiful.. birds singing everywhere. We had a fire in the main living room every morning and a fire pit fire at night outside on the lovely large deck. Our family of 8 adults, one infant, and several dogs could not have had a better family vacation. Denise and Eugene were very responsive! We had a few small issues that were resolved very quickly by their neighbor Allison and her husband who helps out Denise and Eugene and is very friendly! We enjoyed a game of mini golf with ice cream to follow nearby.. as well as a great lunch at the local Mexican restaurant.. a favorite now for sure!... Norte Azul Cantina.. just a few minutes from the house! We walked the serene neighborhood and enjoyed the wildlife (saw deer!).. and a butterfly hitched a ride on my granddaughter's stroller! .. gorgeous mountains, meadows, ponds... and friendly neighbors:) Thank you Denise and Eugene for an amazing stay. We will certainly be returning!!

Exceeds the posting. This space is huge and open. Huge bedrooms. We came for a writing retreat - and it was exceptional.
