Vacation rentals with a kayak in Central New York

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Mara’s home was beautiful, clean and the perfect place to stay for a relaxing long weekend away. We’d love to stay there again and will definitely be recommending!

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful spot for our weekend get away! Perfect space for our family to relax and enjoy the area. The hosts were very accommodating and communicated well. We were in town to visit our son at RPI but wanted to try a different location and this one was awesome. We will be back and will plan to stay longer next time to enjoy the area even more.

We adored the cottage and are already making plans to return in the summer. The host was so accommodating and helpful we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. We loved the cabin decor and beautiful views of the frozen lake from the living room. It was so cosy, peaceful and quiet just what we wanted. We were really impressed with the eco friendly wood pellet heater too. Highly recommend.

Scott is amazing! The airbnb was incredible! Lovely placed filled for immense and loving memories. He allowed me a late Check-Out which was wonderful. Definitely recommend you guys coming more often!

This Airbnb was the perfect fall getaway! We visited the lake to soak in the autumn vibes, and this spot exceeded our expectations. There was plenty of room for our group of five, and the host’s recommendations made our trip even better. While the area is known for summer fun, I think fall might be the best time to visit. We had an amazing time exploring the charming shops, cozy restaurants, and stunning waterfront spots, plus the nearby vineyards are a must-see. Can’t wait to return next year when the leaves are changing again—absolutely loved our stay!

We were looking for a place to unwind and we did with Seth’s place. Right on the river, great views, enjoyed the hot tub and very comfortable beds! We had a relaxing time.

Shawn was great at communicating. the place is just as described.And was perfect for me and my team to stay at for a local event. the rate is amazing for what you get.

From start to finish Zoe was very responsive and accommodating. The bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean and neat. The bedding was very comfortable. We cooked a dinner and a breakfast and the kitchen was stocked well enough to make both these meals easy.

We loved our stay at the Megan house! it's obviously an older property but it's well taken care of and well loved. the location was exactly what we were looking for, right on the lake with excellent views, and close enough for adventures in the Ithaca area. the beds were comfy and Roy and Molly have excellent communication and are very clear in their recommendations and requests. we would definitely stay here again.

Second time coming staying at Sam’s. Just as magical and peaceful as before. Can’t wait to come again next year.

We had an amazing stay at this airbnb! We really enjoyed the hot tub and the fireplace. The place is exactly as described, Alec and his manager were very responsive and flexible, making the checking in process so smooth. We loved sitting out on the deck in the morning overlooking the lake and have some hazelnut coffee provided at the airbnb. The airbnb itself had everything we needed including extra towels, drinking water (as the host listed that the tap water is lake water so it was nice of them to provide water filter) and throw blankets to cozy up on the couch. Overall, amazing stay!

Comfy & cozy for 2 couples, spacious bathrooms with nice towels, bedrooms also had an extra twin bed in each, kitchen had what we needed - coffee pot and wine glasses, and a great view of the lake. Lots of outside amenities, just too chilly to take advantage of them. Michelle was ultra-responsive too.

our stay at ellen’s cottage was private and peaceful. the space had everything needed to feel right at home, including a super comfy mattress!

We love this place and have been here several times. I am sure we will stay there again. it is private, cosy, clean and comfortable. The natural light is stunning and the interior paint colors set it off even more. John is accommodating, friendly and ready to help. We love the fireplace and porch swing.

We were so excited to spend a peaceful weekend in the Adirondacks, and this is the perfect place! The living area was warm and cozy, the kitchen had everything that we needed, the bathroom was clean and updated. The seating was comfortable and the smart TV was a good size for the space. The beds were also comfortable. The surroundings were beautiful in the snow, which was plowed regularly during a two-day snow storm. We were just a few minutes drive from town, which always has lots to do. The grocery store is well-stocked and there are lots of fun shops. The host was very clear with instructions in the listing, and very accommodating while we were there. She even sent someone to make sure that we could all make it up the driveway in the snow storm (which was no problem at all for us with AWD). We wanted to go back to the cabin as soon as we got home, since we already missed the peace, quiet, and beauty. We will certainly go back again. Thank you for having us!

Super easy check-in process. We arrived much later than planned, took a bit to figure out the parking situation but once we figured out where we were supposed to be the rest of the stay went very smoothly. Fantastic location, very peaceful, if it had been a little less windy that weekend we would have totally started a fire in the fire pit and sat by the water to enjoy the view. The cabin itself is very cozy, in a good way; efficient kitchen (not exactly set up to cook a full dinner but plenty fine for breakfast, though you wouldn't want to with Mimi's place not even 10 minutes away). One thing to note, the shower head is pretty low (I am under 6' and had to bend down a bit to get my head wet; on the plus side, I finally know how tall people feel!). Cabin had two full size beds, not ideal for a family but it worked out with the little one slept on the couch. Wifi was reliable for the most part, signal did drop sporadically. Overall, awesome place, will stay again.

Nice cozy cabin, enjoyed our short stay!

Great place—simple, clean, comfortable. Amazing location perched above the confluence of a pond, floe, and West Canada Creek.

I've stayed at a couple dozen AirBnB's over the years, but this most recent one, Jacqui's place on Spruce Lake, goes right to the top of my list of best AirBnB experiences. It has an amazing location, is wonderfully designed and decorated, pristinely clean and functional, but most of all, it has an indefinably cozy and peaceful vibe. A lovely retreat from the world, and a great place to hang out in front of a roaring fire ( it has a truly magnificent fireplace) with loved ones.

The stay was very nice and cozy. Property was clean quiet and just what my girlfriend and I needed.

Great Stay Great Cabin! Everything was clean we felt comfortable there. The hot tub was great after the 2.4 mile walk at Watkins glen. It was too cold for us to kayak but it was nice sitting by the water and chilling. Loved the sound of the water at night.

We had the best stay! It was very beautiful and relaxing. Ed was extremely kind and reasonable. We can’t wait to return and try out some of the on-site activities. Ed gifted us with some of his own maple syrup and it’s clear he and his wife are dedicated to what they do. Very much recommend :)

Carol and Jeff were fantastic hosts and their cabin on the lake was exactly what my wife and I were expecting for our baby moon. The property on Sixth Lake was just far enough from town to be peaceful and relaxing but close enough to get a bite to eat, do some shopping, and pick up any needed grocery items. Carol and Jeff provided perfect communication and the house had everything. Oh, and can’t forget the cookies, which were the best. Sean and Katie

Accurately described, very convenient location close to all major towns and things to do/see. Private, personal space and parking, dont have to share or have a neighbor right next door like a hotel. Thoughtful, flexible, easy going hosts. Clean space, comfortable living conditions. Enjoyed the full kitchen and fenced in back yard, if it was nicer weather the backyard is a nice spot for a fire. My dog enjoyed his stay as well. Would stay here again
