Family-friendly vacation rentals in East Durham

This space is so lovely, the hot tub worked perfectly and provided many cozy nights outside. The plants are BEAUTIFULLY tender and bring a loving atmosphere to the space. the linen sheets were so wonderful at the end of the day. we made it up the hill in a Honda insight, but if it were a tiny bit icy I don't think we would have been able to make it. definitely use 4wd if you have it. the hosts were very responsive. if the noise is too much in the bedroom at night (critters, rain,etc.) be sure to use the fan they provide, it helped us a lot :) the kitchen was a delight to use. sharp knives. big, metal surfaces. nice gas stove. big fridge.

We had an amazing stay! The setting was absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The space was impeccably clean, which made our stay even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was the hot tub – it was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. The host was incredibly responsive and saved us with a last-minute booking, which we are so grateful for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Great place that was clean, comfortable and cozy. There were excellent instructions for everything and my family loved the hot tub!

I had a great time at Tracy’s place. The house was really new (much better than the photos). Location was amazing!

Great spot to gather with friends. So close to trails and lovely towns. Loved the wood stove and hot tub!

Ray’s home offered the perfect weekend getaway for our family. The house is on a beautiful property with a lovely back yard, small bridge and my kids loved the fire pit! Ray was responsive & very friendly! We look forward to coming back again next time!

Amazing cabin , close to everything, clean ,

We had such an amazing time at the Willow House! It was so peaceful and nice to get away from the city for a while. The property was beautiful and the decor is so cozy and well curated! Thank you so much Dror for the wonderful experience and all of the recommendations!

A beautiful and thoughtfully reconstructed house. It has everything you could need to enjoy a very chill time at the house indoors and outdoors or even cook a meal in. Kid friendly.Beautiful light. Beautiful views. Very convenient location. Kind hosts. We have stayed at a few places around town but this was by far our favorite house.

Super responsive management of property. It was a very rainy weekend, so my daughter and I really enjoyed the large TV with the option of many streaming channels. Bed was comfortable and the place was neat and clean. Fantastic location as well.

I booked Nidhi's place for one night for myself and a guest to attend a show at Bearsville. The placement of everything, inside and outside, created an intentional sense of comfort. My guest arrived after me - without a thought, we ended up at the kitchen table talking for hours before the show. Again, the placement of this conversation spot felt intentional, but only after we found ourselves engaged in it. The outdoor surroundings are utilized to not only accent, but to enhance the indoor setting. The whole experience felt private and safe, and allowed us to share a really precious window of time for reconnection and decompression. In addition to the appealing aesthetics (the chosen blue for that kitchen!), the bedding was a treat to come back to at the end of the night - so inviting and equally comforting to find yourself wrapped up in in the morning. Nidhi so kindly messaged me out of concern for the very high winds we were experiencing (prepared with a generator), but no issue.

Super close to town! Lovely setting. Fun to take a shower under a skylight. As others have said, it’s very compact! Would be an ideal place for a person to get away to write.

Lovely place in Saugerties, close to lots of great hiking and restaurants.

Beautiful location...nice and quiet. 7 or 8 mins to woodstock. Decorated seemingly professionally. All the appointments (convennces) you could ask for.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely house!! So many cozy nooks and Miles and Ruth were very responsive and helpful hosts! Would definitely stay again :)

I enjoyed my stay at Gavin and Alison's house in the Catskills. It was a great place to spend a snowy winter weekend in January with my son and two grandchildren. The house is a short drive from various skiing and winter-sports resorts. We were satisfied with the kitchen and other amenities, played board games, and generally had a relaxing time. The hosts were very responsive when we had questions.

This was our second year staying here with friends, and we had such a lovely time. There's plenty to do inside the house itself even on a dreary day, with curiosities and art abound, instruments, games, fireplace, etc, a great kitchen for group meals, and spacious and comfortable rooms otherwise. Olia is very kind and responsive, with plenty tips for the local area. We'd recommend for groups or families in an instant. Nothing like relaxing in the hot tub while looking out at the mountain vista with rain pattering on the porch roof above - pure bliss.

My group loved our stay at Alan and Cara’s place for the Sheep & Wool festival. Great space for a large group; we especially loved how comfortable the living room couches were and how there was space for everyone there to gather. The place was immaculately clean. We’d love to come back again!

Great place. As described. Met our expectations.

Tina’s place is fabulous. The modern decor and architecture is beautiful. The location is peaceful and the fenced in yard was amazing; our dog loved roaming around and exploring. The outdoor space is great for grilling and sitting around the fire pit. We especially loved the kitchen. It is fully appointed and the kitchen island is incredible for prep and serving. The washer dryer combo was an excellent touch and we were able to do a couple of quick washes so that everything was clean and ready to unpack at home. Saving the best for last; the soaker tub in the master bedroom is luxurious and relaxing. Thank you, Tina. We can’t wait to visit again soon.

We had a terrific stay. The house was exactly as advertised.

We spent three nights at Rich and Sheila's place and it was an amazing getaway. Our apartment was perfect-clean and comfy. We loved the proximity to the creek and the pool was a huge bonus! Rich and Sheila were both responsive and welcoming. We look forward to a return trip.

We had an amazing weekend stay at Catherine and Diego’s modern cabin! The property is exactly as described—beautiful, cozy, and perfect for a group getaway, with charming wood paneling and all the comforts of home. The hot tub and stunning views of the snow-covered landscape were highlights, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere after a day out. The location was ideal, offering both privacy and proximity to skiing and other activities, and the hosts provided clear instructions for check-in, making the experience stress-free. We’d highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a quiet, cozy escape in the mountains!

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 👍🏼
