House vacation rentals in Durham

The lakehouse looks exactly like the photos - stylish and cozy. The house looks small from the outside, but we were amazed by how well it fit our family of seven adults and two toddlers. The instructions/guide to the house was clearly written and super helpful, and Vincent was very easy to communicate with, usually responding right away. We were grateful for all the amenities the house comes with. In addition to enjoying the house itself and the gorgeous deck, we also made smores one night in the fire pit and went kayaking with the little ones. The owner provides guests with bracelets that give access to the community amenities as well. The community pool, playground, and little beach were all beautiful and very well maintained. Our little ones especially loved this weekend!

Awesome property for a weekend getaway from the city. Sonny made this place into a fun playground - the pond is amazing, the hot tub, sauna, and back deck felt like a spa, and we enjoyed the fire pit and taking a short hike to the creek. The house itself is simple but has everything you need and we even managed to order Uber eats once from Kingston. The area is great, and we enjoyed the villages and a nice hike in the area. We will definitely come back.

Very enjoyable time here! Instructions, accommodations, and overall experience was perfect!

The teahouse and surroundings were relaxing and peaceful. We saw groundhogs, deer, and chipmunks from the porch and our 2 dogs loved exploring the field and wandering in the nearby woods. The pool was amazing and warm despite the rain and the natural landscaping couldn’t have been more beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay!

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

This listing had the most gorgeous view. We enjoyed eating meals out on the patio in the mild summer weather. The amenities really set this place apart. We enjoyed the games left in the living room, all the kitchen supplies, the bathroom niceties, and the wireless chargers in the primary bedroom. The hot tub was the biggest highlight. It has been well maintained and the instructions left on how to use it made things very easy. Omer was friendly and very responsive. I would highly recommend this place.

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 loved this cute studio cabin at the end of a quiet lane in the woods. The host was accommodating and left a welcome basket with tea & muffins for our arrival. The whole unit was clean and well maintained with basic equipment for cooking. We enjoyed sitting on the veranda watching the wildlife. Convenient location for Woodstock for coffee and food, & Ashokan reservoir for walking and cycling. There were a few potholes on the access road to the property which deer use to drink from (☺️). We loved that the cabin was bug free and did not have any trace of bug spray! (We get very bad reactions to that stuff). Thank you for hosting & being respive. Recommend for a weekend 👍🏼

We loved our stay here in Cornwallville! The location is really quiet and remote (great view of the stars), and the house is clean. The vibes inside are great, as are the hot tub and fire pit. Would absolutely stay here again!

This was our first airbnb in New York and we loved it! The home was comfortable and had basic necessities. The waterfall in the back is amazing. Perfect for a weekend getaway from NYC. Responsive and friendly host.

This was our second stay at Elsbree House, so we knew exactly what to expect-a gorgeous Victorian home close to great restaurants and to fun area events. Rafael is an extremely responsive and flexible host who is always available by text. We hope to return in 2025!

The house was great! Warm and inviting. Super cozy and felt like home. Loved having a cup of coffee on the deck and just taking in the fresh air and the beautiful scenery. Very close to the hub of East Durham .

We struck gold with this Airbnb! This peaceful home, boasting a truly wonderful view, was everything we hoped for and more. The outdoor porch, in particular, was an absolute dream. It offered so many perfect spots to simply sit and soak in the morning tranquility or to gather and chat with family. We made the most of the grill, enjoying countless meals outdoors. Inside, the home felt incredibly comfortable and welcoming, with a full kitchen that was a joy to use. Even with eight of us, everyone easily found their own private retreat or a comfortable communal space. Whenever we had a question or a need arose, we received an immediate and helpful response. The suggested restaurants were also a delightful discovery. Even when the weather turned and it rained for our last two days, we felt incredibly lucky to have the covered porch, allowing us to continue enjoying the peacefulness and beauty of nature. Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us.

Lovely stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and clearly designed with care. Everything felt thoughtfully chosen, and the amenities were great—comfortable bedding, quality toiletries, and a well-stocked kitchen. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay at Winwick house! Donnie was very responsive and provided good instructions throughout the process. The house was cozy and a perfect winter getaway.

Jessica’s house is likely my best Airbnb stay out of nearly 100 so far! The place feels so much like home, with many warm and personal touches. I can’t say enough about the beautiful surroundings. The property consists of a large lawn, very nicely maintained, and surrounded by woods. We encountered rabbits and deer, apart from the calming sounds of birds all around. The creek is a short walk away, and holes to the waterfalls are close by. If I had a choice, I would never leave! We had an absolutely amazing stay, I recommend this to anyone who likes peace and nature.

Excellent house, location, and hosts! Very easy to just settle right in with everything needed for a relaxing and peaceful time in the mountains. Can't beat the layout/setup of the house along with the yard, deck, pond, and firepit for some fun and chill time with family/friends.

Beautiful house, even nicer than the pictures. The kitchen was especially well stocked. My teenager loved cooking and grilling! We had rainy weather but it didn’t matter-we were happy and comfortable hanging out in the house most of the time! The host was responsive to messages and provided clear instructions. A couple of minor things came up and were addressed promptly. We definitely plan to come again. Thanks so much!!!!

I had a lovely stay at this beautiful home. The house is charming, comfortable, and set in a peaceful, scenic location — perfect for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were thoughtful and communicative, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Stan is an amazing host and was so courteous that he cleaned up the drive way when it snowed like crazy. He was extremely warm and nice to our daughter and it was great experience. We enjoyed the house and hospitality.

We had a lovely stay with a few days of skiing and hot tub sunsets. We came up for a small family trip with my wife and our two children and we had friends from the Poconos meet us up and my sister came down from Albany the area with my niece and nephew for the last evening to share some pizza from Windham Pizza. The hosts were very accommodating and I cannot recommend this property enough. Less than 15 minutes to the slopes made our ski trip super accessible. Thanks for the opportunity to stay at your Farm House!

We had a fantastic stay! The host was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make our trip possible. Due to our car not being snow-ready, we got stuck in snow. The host kindly drove us up and down to the property, making sure we didn’t have to worry about anything! His helpfulness and hospitality made all the difference. He was truly a life saver! He saved our ski trip! Highly recommend staying here!

Had a great stay. Cozy and sweet cabin, designed well and comfortable to stay in. Also loved the little creek behind it.

We had a wonderful time staying here over the Christmas holiday. The house was comfortable, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed to cook, which was especially helpful since most restaurants were closed for Christmas. Its location is fantastic, close to ski resorts, restaurants, and beautiful sights.
