Family-friendly vacation rentals in Danbury

Paula was an exceptional host! She was always quick to respond and answered my many questions, before and during our stay. The house was fantastic for entertaining. It’s spacious and we loved the art! We would have loved to enjoy the beautiful decks, but it rained during most of our visit. We made a fire instead! The house has Sonas and we loved having music. The large windows are great and so were all the views. It made me feel like I was in a treehouse! I would highly recommend this Airbnb and host.

My boyfriend and I booked last minute trip! That turned out magical ! The view was priceless, the hot tub was large and had message features, hammock was great. Suite is adorable and very clean. You’re literally on top of a mountain with no neighbors and surrounded by nature. Very private ! We caught an amazing view day and night on a clear sunny day and then a lightning storm in the mist! We missed our farm friends as soon as we left. Accurate listing ! Highly recommend 4wheel drive !

Peaceful surroundings, beautiful lake, wonderful house and amazing hosts! Had an absolute ball kayaking, fishing, and enjoying nature. This was my second trip and can’t wait to go back again.

This was our second stay with Joe and Amy hosting us and it was lovely yet again! They are extremely friendly and responsive. The place is serene and gorgeous. We absolutely adore the chickens and thoroughly enjoyed the fishing spot they told us about. It’s a beautiful place to unwind and relax away from city life. We plan to return again!

We loved our stay at the schoolhouse…it is a cool place! Rooms are spacious and ceilings are high, but felt homey. Large windows bring the outside in, nice when you get some chilly, rainy days like we did. Needed to take the chill off some of the time and the living space warmed up quickly with the split element. Amenities all good, beds comfortable, and easy hosts to work with. Central to local attractions, especially hiking. We particularly liked the breakfast nook overlooking the back and listening to the local ravens chatting away. Enjoyed patio and preserve treeline - nice spot for birds. We would stay here again, for sure.

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.***

We really enjoyed staying here, only wish we booked it for longer! Our son and our dog enjoyed going for walks on the trails behind the brewery. The beers and pizza from the brewery were excellent, the house is really charming and relaxing. Also got out to enjoy the disc golf course which was a fun way to spend the afternoon. I would love to come back and try out the mountain bike trails. The surrounding area was fun to explore, really can't think of any negative points to this place!

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 loved our stay at this beautiful, charming, and peaceful barn. The space was cozy and thoughtfully designed—perfect for a relaxing staycation. The property itself is beautiful, and it’s just a short drive to great hikes, bike trails, restaurants, and breweries. A truly lovely spot to unwind and explore. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

A charming home, convenient to Woodstock and Phoenicia. We enjoyed the quiet, wooded setting (from inside you can hardly tell there are neighbors) and the cabin-like feel. Everything was very clean, Nickie's instructions to access the home were clear, and we very much appreciated that the place was dog friendly and that the main bedroom and the bathroom are on the main floor. The deck also has a gate, so had it not been so rainy, our dog could have hung out with us outside.

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.

Mahmoud was a wonderful host. Very responsive, pleasant, and helpful. His home and the views were spectacular, and the koi pond was beautiful. It’s a great location to stay while visiting West Point, as it’s a quick drive across the Bear Mountain Bridge. Our large group felt comfortable and welcomed. One of the bedroom descriptions could have been listed a little clearer because you need to pass through the master bedroom to get to it. Luckily our family was ok with that. We would stay again.

Emily and Carol were wonderful hosts. They were responsive to our questions and provided great recommendations. Sitting on the balcony with the view of the trees and the lake beyond was tranquil. The living area is cozily furnished and both the fireplace and tv were easy to use. The nearby community beach was fun to visit and an added benefit of the stay. Great location with plenty of good food and small town charm!

We loved staying here, and our son loved visiting the horses, and the chickens in the barn. And we saw wild turkeys and deer roaming the property. And it was great to see the horses run on our way out! There are also lots of little streams and tiny waterfalls we enjoyed checking out. And the farm fresh eggs were a lovely and much appreciate bonus!

The drive up was beautiful, and the stay even more so. The home was cozy, charming, and had everything we needed for a peaceful getaway. The water view in the back was stunning and added such a serene touch to the experience. The neighbors were friendly, and the host was kind and welcoming. We felt right at home here.

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.

Beautiful, relaxing, clean Airbnb. Had an issue with the shower, which can happen anywhere, Mk was super responsive and came over quickly. Loved loved loved our stay here. Didn’t use the swimming pool due to weather but the screened deck with the Fire Pit and the superb game room saved the day. Thank you for hosting us will be back

We had an amazing stay at Michael’s Airbnb this past weekend! The space was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Michael was a fantastic host: super responsive, thoughtful, and made us feel completely at home. The location was perfect for a relaxing getaway, and the setting was even more beautiful in person. Would absolutely stay here again—thank you for a wonderful experience, Michael!

The pool house is so cute and the outdoor patio is gorgeous and the perfect place to relax. Great place to stay if you want to stay near New Haven but also want to enjoy quiet away from the city. Sue is a responsive and very generous host!

Very nice place, beautiful big deck, awesome creativity to the lighting around the property. A walking path, fire pit, hot tub, big deck to relax on, and a fully equipped stage. It is a step above camping but not quite glamping. A lot of fun, and Apple is a sweet bonus hostess.

We had an amazing time at Marybeth’s suite—it truly felt like a winter wonderland. Our kids had a blast "swimming" in the snow and "rolling" over the gentle hills. Every moment was filled with joy, whether we were relaxing in the sunroom, playing in the snow, or swinging outside. The time spent together as a family, along with our conversations with Marybeth and her family, was truly precious. We can’t wait to return in the summer!

Second time staying at the cottage. Very cozy, felt right at home for me and my daughter. Micaela is truly a 10/10! So inviting, attention to details, very flexible and accommodating. Looking forward to another visit.

Only complaint would be the noise from road during the morning commute

This accommodation deserves 5 stars, firstly because of Lilian’s communication: she provided local recommendations, was very responsive and checked in during our stay to ensure everything was fine. The amenities itself are also great, the pool and outdoors are very nice. Unfortunately we did not have good weather but the house itself has a stove, TV with all digital apps, toys for the kids etc so we could easily enjoy ourselves inside too. The kitchen has all the tools you need to cook so we felt at home. The check in and check out was contactless which made it very easy for us to come and go at our preferred times. The house is very spacious because of the open floor plan, the second floor is a vide which ensures that there is a lot of light and the ceiling is super high. Would definitely recommend this others!
