Family-friendly vacation rentals in Central New York

The view was absolutely stunning and the environment was so peacefully quiet. The home is beautifully constructed and decorated with all the necessities and amenities. There’s plenty of space for the pups to run around safely, and the hot tub was amazing, especially with that view! William & Liz were excellent communicators and made the whole process incredibly simple. We’ll definitely be back!

Drift away was a wonderful cottage right on the lake. Place was extremely comfortable. Beautiful views. We didn’t have the greatest weather which would have made the trip so much better, so we hope to plan a trip back soon.

Ami’s place was great! Stayed for my birthday and was surprised with a delicious tres leche cake upon my arrival! The view was incredible, amenities were amazing, overall it was everything I hoped for and more. Thanks Ami!

Amazing stay! The place is so well equipped with everything you’ll need and very clean. Perfect for families. The host was very responsive and truly wanted us to have a fantastic experience. Would highly recommend staying here.

My wife and I stayed here May 21,2025 to May 24,2025. We picked out this place due to the pics on AirBnb and the reviews. There is not much I can say that hasn't been said already. The cabin is just beautiful, meticulously decorated, and very clean. Being lakefront is a great plus and especially the hot tub in the screened in porch overlooking the lake. We caught some bad weather but still had a memorable time with great memories. Chris is a pleasure to meet and talk to and it is obvious that he put his whole heart into the hard work of remodeling and decorating the cabin. We were a little concerned about the reviews of the water quality but it was a non issue. We showered and washed dishes without any problem, however, we did bring our own bottled water to drink. I would heartily recommend this beautiful log cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful relaxing stay on the lake.

What a hidden gem. Cozy, clean cabin feel with enough privacy from other houses. Great amenities like a hot tub, fireplace, walkable backyard, comfy outdoor seating, nice mountain views, ample toiletries, and 2.5 convenient bathrooms. The hosts laid out everything we needed to know clearly and it was such an enjoyable, stress free vacation. We also enjoyed Roscoe's diner and the convenient Tesla charger. Overall an excellent house to stay in with everything you would need. The cats enjoyed their stay as well. 😺

The Little Minka was everything that Daniel said it would be. A beautiful, peaceful, quiet, cozy home with an amazing minimalist aesthetic. Definitely a great place for a weekend getaway if you’re looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Would recommend and look forward to booking again!

We were in town for our son's graduation from Hobart and wanted a place on the lake to enjoy the waterviews and peace during a hectic weekend. Laura's place has great views of the water and is beautiful, cozy and comfortable inside. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and snacks in the fridge when we arrived. The house has everything you need including a well-stocked kitchen and lots of extras in the bathrooms if you forget something. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate and it was a bit cold and windy, so we mostly enjoyed Seneca Lake from indoors! We did use the hottub and enjoyed that and she does provide hottub towels right by the back door so you don't have to worry about bringing extra with you. We'd love to try it again in better weather!!

My husband, friends, and I are truly enamored with Jacob's place. The house is beautiful, and the atmosphere is incredibly peaceful and inviting. We always have a wonderful time there. This was our third visit, and we can easily envision many more to come in the future.

When we walked in the airbnb, I though someone was playing piano next door, but there was a soothing piano playlist on the TV. The heat and air was already on and set at a comfortable temperature, as well, which was lovely because it was cold and rainy. There were books with suggestions on what to do around the area. We had everything we needed here, and we were very thankful that bottled water was provided! We actually ran into Christopher and he is such a friendly man.

This place is truly unique. It's a get away space for musicians who share it when they aren't using it. The place has been built up and settled in. It's gorgeous, the location and the barn architecture. But it's not uptight. It feels like late 60s - early 70s rock and roll, or like classic country music. Maddy's family has a phenomenal record collection and the stereo sounds SO good. The albums we brought came to life there. There's also an excellent book collection, lots of rock and music stuff but also philosophy, literature, eco books, and classic kids book (lots of kids books and a massive toy trunk with toys for kids of all ages!). The kitchen has got pretty much everything you need, and all the basic amenities and appliances. Around about are lots of area lamps, interesting hangings, colored glass, rugs, throws, and well cared for house plants. Finally, the pond and field have not been chemical killed. So, there are lots of birds, frogs, fish, and nests.

A really awesome place, ideal for relaxing and get energized without external distractions ! Limited network depending on your carrier, which was exactly what we were looking for! A bit chilly in mid October - as advertised - but Pam made everything to make sure we were comfortable ! I am pretty sure I will come back! Lots to do in terms of hiking, and activities in the cities nearby

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.

I was coming into the Adirondacks to do some backpacking. We were going to be arriving late and starting the trip early in morning, so we just needed a place to crash for the night and sort some gear in the morning while we had breakfast. This was a perfect spot and exactly what we needed, though it would have been tempting to relax there for a few days.

We have been looking forward to our stay at this cabin for weeks. We needed to unplug and we got just that. It was a rainy weekend but that made the area more magical. The house is so beautiful , loved the nice art sprinkled all over the house including a lovely picture of the waterfalls behind the property which can be heard from the house! everything was clean and very homie! and we got a ton of suggestions for things to do in the area. Would definitely stay here again! 10/10

We spent the weekend in the area and Tim’s place was fantastic. It’s loaded with charm, comfortable and very well appointed and stocked (right down to treats for the dog). The location is beautiful and the views are amazing. Can’t wait to return!

Our second time here. Great spot for our family of 4, and Sandy is very responsive

The house met all expectations everything is stylishly done, and the host is incredibly responsive and helpful 🤍

This was a terrific stay. The hosts communication from beginning to end was as good as can be expected. The home was cozy and well appointed. The property was beautiful and peaceful. 5 stars, will recommend and return again. Thank you!

We had the absolute best trip, and Erica’s place played a huge part in that. The property was absolutely stunning—beautifully designed, spotless, and so comfortable. Erica was incredibly responsive and organized from the very start, which made everything so smooth and stress-free. We truly enjoyed every moment in the space and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Cozy home, on a beautiful property. The natural pool is really special, and we loved staying here. Hope to be back.

Magnificent homestead built in 1855. Beautiful grounds. Loved the animals in the barn. Lovely tennis court and swimming pool. Comfy beds! Martha was totally responsive and helpful. Peaceful and relaxing stay!😊

We recently stayed at Tina's and had a great time. The location is secluded, incredibly peaceful and quiet — all you can hear are the birds in the morning. The home itself is clean and looks just like the photos. We also loved that we could bring our dog along with us. We live in the city so our pup doesn't get to touch much grass, and he had a blast running through the fenced-in yard. Although we originally booked because the house has a pool and we were hoping for good weather, it rained almost the entire time we were there... Nonetheless, it felt like the coziest home for a rainy weekend, and we really enjoyed our stay. We loved sitting inside by the fire to watch a movie, cooking in the kitchen and building a fire outside when the rain stopped. The location was also great for driving into Rhinebeck, Red Hook, Hudson and surrounding breweries and wineries.

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.***
