Family-friendly vacation rentals in Athens

We had a lovely long weekend with our 20 year old daughters and our dog. We celebrated a birthday and midsummer and really relaxed. The house was comfortable, clean and offered an relaxing environment. The Sauna, hot tub and She Shed were fan favorites with our family! Highly recommend for a family of 4-6.

A quiet private property located close to amenities, the city of Hudson, and nature. It is a beautiful and comfortable home filled with creative and tangible care. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and spending time on the property over a long weekend stay.

We loved our stay. They provided everything you need plus more. So comfortable, lovely ambiance and the sauna and hot tub were fantastic. We came on a rainy day and still had a great time. Location is 10/10. Loved the calmbucha. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time at this place for our mini moon. It was relaxing, beautifully decorated, well stocked with everything you need! The hosts were very responsive. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! For anyone coming from NYC we stoped at Pho Tibet in New Paltz for lunch on the way home and the food was amazing!

Abagail was very helpful in getting settled. The house is full of interesting antiques and paintings. There was a wonderful view of the Litchfield Hills and a lot to do outside. It is rustic but it has every convenience of home. Great shower. Must have been a barn but now it is a museum of Art Nueveau treasures and stained glass. Very peaceful and slept great.

What a gorgeous stay. My partner and I celebrated our five year anniversary here and each detail was perfect. The home is wonderfully curated, with stunning art, decor, puzzles, plates, you name it! And by the window, the feeders attract all kinds of birds that I’ve never seen so up close. Woodpeckers, cardinals, chickadees. You hardly need the TV, it’s so entertaining. The place is spotless and serene. And Rosy is so responsive while giving you complete privacy! You can tell she really cares about the experience she provides. If you’re looking to stay in an artfully cozy home, this is the place.

We had a nice time staying. It has a Well stocked kitchen. It is near to grocery and shopping in Stone Ridge. It has Great fireflies at night and a good view of the sunset.

Porter & Sara run an amazing cabin. Their container cabins are well equipped for a fun, romantic stay. The layout of the cabin lends itself to a warm welcome and the positioning of the couch, bed, and table make perfect use of the landscape - all facing the beautiful pristine meadow that hosts a ton of wonderful sights including deer, flowers and interesting insects! One thing that stood out was the lack of mosquitoes. Given the clearing and the amount of other wildlife, we were pleasantly surprised how comfortable it was to stay outside and not worry about being eaten alive. There are plenty of lounging accommodations, from nicely kept hammocks, to comfortable lounging chairs to a lovely hot tub . The low lights outside make the hot tub and patio a fun place to hang all night. When getting into bed, you’re greeted by the beautiful stary night. It was amazing to lay down and feel like we were all alone in the woods. We will absolutely be coming back for another romantic adventure.

Ellen is a spectacular host who communicated clearly and promptly responded to questions. She also gave us invaluable local recommendations that made our trip that much better. The property is beautiful. If anything, the pictures don't do it justice. I would highly recommend Ellen's cabin for anyone looking for peace and relaxation!

This is the second time I’ve stayed in one of Vladimir’s properties and had a great experience. Everything about the location, accessibility, and furnishings is great! Easy walking distance to amazing restaurants and shopping, but tucked into a quiet street. Would stay here again.

Tim! Our stay was Beyond my expectations! Many many thanks, appreciation and affection. Be well~ Jen, Lucia and Jack

Would absolutely stay again! Really loved the way they've updated the space but kept the classic touches of the house. Huge well appointed kitchen with everything you could need. Peaceful outdoor space with lots of privacy. And overall a very spacious house that feels like you could have a big group without getting in each others way. Ryan & Lauren were super on it. Will definitely recommend to friends.

Ilze and Laurence’s place felt like home away from home. Every morning, we were greeted with chirping birds, clucking hens (was even able to order a dozen eggs straight from their free-range poultry—so organic!)—and a smiling donkey! It is a place were you can find peace and rest for your soul even for just a few days.

The perfect place for a Catskills getaway. Raymond and Maura's house is peacefully secluded in the woods while being just a few minute drive to downtown Woodstock. The screened in porch is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee and take in the beautiful setting. We have stayed here several times now and hope to come back again soon!

This place is truly a gem! We enjoyed swimming in the waterfalls and relaxing under the trees. We can’t wait to return. The house is also lovely with lots of interesting and quirky touches that we enjoyed. Incredibly well stocked kitchen and everything we could want!

Beautiful space. Amazing countryside vibes. Fun hike down to the waterfall, great kitchen for cooking and a fun night in. There was lots of quaint stuff to do in nearby Middleburgh: thrifting, diners, 50s milkshake bar, antique book stores, hikes, breweries, and more. We loved that there was so many towels for the sauna and swimming. One note: give yourself a lot of time for the sauna to heat up. Instructions were clear and they gave us lots of local recs. Also LOVED the hammocks -- lots of cozy nooks to hang for a chill girls weekend. We might be back again! A great stay.

We had a magical weekend away and our stay was everything we hoped it would be, and more. Olia was incredibly responsive, friendly, and all around wonderful to connect with. The house was a magical time capsule holding the best of energy and a glimpse into the 70s - so fun. The pool and patio were awesome, with open and friendly spaces inside too, all made for the best of entertaining spaces. We could not have asked for a better weekend away, and we cannot wait to plan our next trip! Thank you!

This is our fifth year coming to the farm. Larissa is absolutely masterful with kids of all ages (even tough kids). My daughter races out at 9 am to do farm chores and begs for more (and this is a kid who drags her feet doing chores at home)!! We love the rhythm of farm and find it really easy to disconnect and unwind. After chores in the morning, you're welcome to spend as much time as you want with the animals, which is a real treat. Whether it's feeding the horses hay, sharing food scraps with the goats, or watching the chickens do their evening routine, there's so much to enjoy. The local towns are lovely, but if you like the farm experience, you may never leave the property. Larissa is incredibly knowledgeable and generous in sharing her experience and expertise. She has created an absolutely magical environment, and I would highly recommend visiting!!

This is a lovely house very close to New Paltz. We had a nice long weekend with the kids and loved spending time in the pool. Susan was a great host. No complaints!

Billy and Rhobin were so helpful and easy to communicate with. The house was so comfortable and peaceful. The property was lovely! 5 Stars all around! Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Beautiful country home, SUPERB location, large grounds with a beautiful pool, and communicative and kind host. We had a wonderful stay.

We had an amazing stay at the cottage! It's modern and thoughtfully designed, but still feels cozy and inviting. It’s tucked away in a peaceful spot surrounded by trees, yet only a 3-minute drive from town. You feel totally removed and relaxed, but everything you need is right nearby. I worked remotely for part of the trip, and the setup was perfect. There’s a dedicated desk with a view of the mountains, and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. Natural light poured into the cottage through the skylights. It was spotless and comfortable. The bed and linens were top notch, water pressure was great and hot—little details that make a difference. The pool was a highlight. It’s heated, with plenty of loungers and umbrellas, and it felt totally private and calm. We ended up spending an entire day out there just soaking it in. The hosts were lovely. They were helpful when we needed them, but also gave us complete privacy. We’d absolutely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone!

We truly enjoyed our stay at Wilderkill Barn. Maria Cristina and William were exceptional hosts—warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our visit special. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The home was a haven, with a hot tub, sauna, pool, fire pit, pool table, and immersive sound and movie systems—all of which made our stay delightful despite the cold, dreary May weather. We can't thank them enough. ***That said, we feel it's necessary to address a serious issue with Airbnb itself that arose while booking this property, unrelated to the property itself. An unexpected tax was added after booking, and Airbnb has yet to provide a clear explanation. After years of loyalty, we were disappointed by their evasive and unhelpful customer support. This experience has made us reconsider using the platform in the future. We urge potential users to scrutinize all fees carefully and be aware that Airbnb’s support may be difficult to navigate if problems arise.***

Richard and Sheila were wonderful hosts, and we very much enjoyed our stay at their cabin. After receiving a very warm welcome, we enterer a modern but cozy cabin. We especially loved the view of the creek from the bedroom, in addition to the several spots to sit outdoors. The kitchen and outdoor grill were very functional. Richard and Sheila were always responsive and attentive to our needs during our stay, and managed to make our stay unforgettable despite the rainy start and cooler weather. We cannot wait to return!
