Family-friendly vacation rentals in New Paltz

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

I stayed in this apartment for a month and loved it. The location is gorgeous, the apartment is a great size for the price, the hosts are just truly lovely people who made me feel totally welcome. You will hear the ceiling creak when they walk around above you in the main house and the dogs bark, but not alot and the owners are very quick to quiet them down. I slept so well there. I never felt awkward sitting outside admiring the flowers and the trees, even when Sherrill and Clark were going about their yard chores. I loved being greeted when I arrived and sent off when I left. I felt like I truly mattered as a guest and a person. This is what airbnb hospitality should be! Thank you!! I'd stay again and highly recommend.

We had a great time at Saugerties! Rebecca's house was wonderful. The heated pool and the trampoline were the kids' favorite and they kept them entertained all day. The adults enjoyed the shade under the comfy pool lounge chairs & the spacious deck furniture. The backyard of the house was well kept and equipped so we spent a lot of time outside. The house is very well equipped and it was spacious for 2 families of 4. Everything was functioning well. The house is close to downtown and there are plenty of things to do nearby. Host was super quick to respond back and to help with whatever we needed right away. We def recommend Rebecca's house.

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.***

Perfect location — it’s directly in the middle of Minnewaska State Park and downtown New Paltz. Stargazing in the hot tub was a perfect way to relax after a long hike.

Three friends met at this beautiful carriage house with the feel of a French chalet! We stayed two nights with varied weather conditions. The house, grounds and location was perfect. Hot tub was used and so relaxing. The surroundings were beautiful and peaceful. The host, Diane was very helpful and friendly. What host makes scones each morning and delivers them warm?! Visited the Ashokan Reservoir trail, Opus 40, and Woodstock. Recommend this home highly. You won’t be disappointed!

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 had a great stay at BorisRungcheewan’s place. Check-in was easy, and the hosts sent us all the necessary information well in advance. The only minor challenge was finding the house—it’s set back from the road and located at the top of a long, steep driveway. I can imagine that arriving for the first time in the dark could be a bit tricky. The house itself was just as advertised: very private and quiet. The interior was comfortably furnished, and we especially appreciated the fireplace and the Bluetooth speaker. The two full bathrooms were also nice . The hot tub was easy to use, although a few of the jets didn’t seem to be working. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, plates, and glasses. The house is about 15 minutes from the Woodstock area and the nearest grocery store, so we’d recommend stopping to pick up any necessary provisions before checking in. Overall, we would absolutely return to BorisRungcheewan’s place for another stay.

We had a wonderful time at this place for our mini moon. It was relaxing, beautifully decorated, well stocked with everything you need! The hosts were very responsive. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! For anyone coming from NYC we stoped at Pho Tibet in New Paltz for lunch on the way home and the food was amazing!

Great Airbnb, I would highly recommend. I appreciate the flexibility on the check in and check out times. The kitchen was very well stocked as well.

We only stayed at the Wandering Peacock for 1 night but it was such a treat as a place to crash along our road trip. Not a corner of the home was glossed over, every inch of the place is beautifully curated. Abigail was super responsive and a welcoming host. We squeezed in some time for the hot tub, it was ready to go in 2-3 hours and super relaxing. 10/10 would recommend.

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 !

Julie's place was the perfect winter getaway. The fireplace, hot tub and sauna warmed us and the very well-equipped kitchen enabled us to prepare great meals. The house was beautiful, with two living rooms for different activities and energy levels, a game room downstairs, a dining room with a large table and chairs, and comfortable furniture and beds throughout. Julie texted me to make sure that our every need was met. We had a snow and ice storm, and she had the driveway and walkways plowed, shoveled and sanded twice, and kept plenty of salt on-hand. We hope to return sometime in warmer weather so we can enjoy the pond, too.

The house is spacious and elegant. The wooded lot has a pretty creek a little way from the house. We took some walks through the snowy woods and roads beyond the house and could have kept going for a long time - the mountain is peaceful and beautiful. The owners live a few doors down and came by to help set us up before a major snow storm. We had a really nice time.

Linda is such a great host! She is SUPER organized from the very beginning giving us clear instructions about the check in, the rules at the house, leaving printed version of all of that in different sides of the house, and even to the way she organized and provided everything we ever needed at that house. And the house itself is soooo gorgeous and peaceful I felt right at home. The only flaw is that it has bad reception in the area since it is surrounded by woods. But Linda provided us with strong wifi in the house, so I guess that settled it.

Donna's place was amazing! We knew we would love it from the pictures but were even more blown away when we walked inside. It was the perfect cabin with every amenity and more that you could want for a remote get away in the Catskills. We went up with our dog and loved every minute - will definitely go back for our next trip up!

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.

A lovely home with beautiful views of the surrounding woods from each room. Very clean, modern, and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. Mark provided detailed and useful info on the place and the surrounding area. A great spot if you’re looking for some peace and quiet close to all the local attractions of the Hudson Valley.

Jane’s home is beautiful, quiet, and so relaxing. The area itself is wonderful and quaint and the home has everything you need and more. We sat out each morning on the front deck for coffee and each evening for a glass of wine, and ate dinner on the screened-in porch. Despite the temperatures reaching 90 degrees outside, the home remained very comfortable even without A/C. There were plenty of fans and the evenings were pleasantly cool. Jane is very friendly and helpful—stopped by on our first day to give us some wonderful local recommendations (our kids loved visiting a nearby apple orchard / restaurant). Honestly, you can’t ask for a better host. We already miss the place and would definitely return!

The best part was the tub with the beautiful forest views and deer roaming about. We used it quite a lot. It rained the previous days and the creek was in full force with a small waterfall. It felt like we were a million miles away from civilization but only less than 5 minutes from the Main Street of Woodstock. Strong Wi-Fi too so was I was able to work remotely.

When you are accustom to five star and you just want a place to be absolutely quiet and be present with nature , this places is it !

This cottage was very lovely, cozy, clean, and just a few minutes from the town of Woodstock, but very secluded and peaceful on a beautiful property. The home was exactly as described and had everything you could need for a short stay. I do recommend having 4-wheel drive and a car with good suspension to get up the gravel road leading to the house. Cayenne is a wonderful host - she was extremely kind and easy to communicate with. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful chalet with even better views - perfect for a calm and peaceful get away from the city, near hiking trails and 7 min from town for restaurants, had a great weekend and hope to be back soon
