Bring your Kayak or paddleboard this Summer!

If these walls could talk, they'd tell a story of the history of Glenville, NY! Starting as a Broom Corn Farm and then a Speakeasy during Prohibition, the original bar is located in the basement! This renovated New England-style colonial has beautifully landscaped grounds and butts up to the Mohawk River, providing privacy and views. Walking the property not only gives you a bit of exercise but allows you to take in the beautiful views and native foliage.

Little Hideaway in Niskayuna

5 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviews3 months ago

We had a wonderful stay at Christina’s home which was very comfortable and well equipped. The kitchen was equipped with everything I needed. Christina went above and beyond with service and communication. She responded to all our needs within minutes. The home is in a lovely older neighborhood which is very walkable. I would highly recommend staying here.

Historic meets Midcentury Modern

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 50 reviews1 week ago

Great location in the Stockade Historic District. We took advantage of the izi travel app’s 2 walking tours, visited the Schenectady Historical Museum, and attended a performance at Proctors Theater, which were all within walking distance of the house. It was a pleasure to stay in the vintage home and admire the eclectic art. Hosts were exceptionally attentive. Very enjoyable stay!

Private Cottage

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviews2 weeks ago

We were so grateful to find this spot available last minute—it ended up being perfect for what we needed! The space was clean, smelled great, felt safe, and was in an ideal location. We appreciated the 2 bottled waters in the fridge and the loofa and soaps in the bathroom. For fellow dog owners: the space is one open room, so if your pups can't be left alone together, we recommend bringing a crate or a gate to separate the kitchen from the rest of the space. The only downside we experienced was the bed—others mentioned this in their reviews so we were prepared but it was incredibly hard and made sleeping difficult. If you're sensitive to firm beds, we’d recommend bringing your own queen-size mattress topper, or a blow-up mattress. That said, we will absolutely book here again based on the location, the cleanliness, and how safe and comfortable it felt for both us and our dogs. Thank you for a lovely stay!

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviews6 months ago

The place was more charming than expected and John was a great host! There is a bit of road noise still audible through the windows, so beware if you're a light sleeper. Otherwise, it was a really lovely stay and a good location for us to get everywhere we needed to be. Would be happy to stay again!
