Family-friendly vacation rentals in Schenectady

We stay in this beautiful house every year for our ski vacation, and we absolutely love it. The combination of comfort, stunning natural surroundings, and the owner’s warm hospitality makes it a truly special place. Every visit, we fall in love with the house all over again. Some of the highlights include the outdoor jacuzzi, the fantastic family room with air hockey and ping pong, and the walk to the lake. Altogether, it’s a perfect getaway, and we hope to return year after year.

We had a great stay. Lots of hikes. Star gazing from the hot tub was fabulous!

William and Liz's place was a peaceful experience and a great way to disconnect and celebrate a birthday with my family. Beautiful views, great accommodations, and an awesome hot tub. It's definitely worth it if you are looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy nature.

Fantastic space for a large group. We had 10 people for a New Year’s Eve ski weekend, and this was the ideal spot for it. Hot tub was a great treat. Be warned - the floors are squeaky, so if you’re a light sleeper in a large group bring ear plugs.

Had a great time at this beautiful home! Felt super peaceful and great for groups. Thanks so much!

Awesome house, the pond was a really neat bonus. We had coffee in the sunshine, with the beautiful fall leaves, by the water!! Our family really enjoyed this place. It was quiet, roomy, and in a great location! Lots of restaurants close by, yet had a feeling of being in the country, away from it all. Highly recommend this home. Also very affordable, considering the area.

Every stay here is just as good as the last! 5/5 experience. Look forward to coming back again!

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 :)

This was my second time staying and it was just as great as the first. Wonderful place - responsive host. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen. Great house to cozy up in with a fire & also let kids run around the expansive grounds.

This was our sixth visit to Maple Hill Farms — we just can’t get enough of it! Philip truly the best host, and his home is pure magic. We’re so grateful to have met him and to experience his incredible hospitality and a property filled with the most amazing creatures.

Great place, one thing I did like was they do not use products that contain harsh chemicals like the Native shampoo & conditioner and the plant based laundry detergent they use to wash

Ed and Rick were thoughtful and caring hosts who paid attention to every detail. The yurt was magical. Building a campfire and walking with the goats felt purposeful and calming.. We found our experience to be relaxing and rejuvenating and renewing to the soul. "The earth does not belong to us; we belong to the earth". "Time spent amongst trees is never wasted time". "A walk in nature walks the soul back home".

Nancy’s place was a great option for my stay in the area. The kitchen had everything I needed, and the couch was comfortable. As was the one bed I slept in. I was visiting for a work trip. Nancy was also incredibly responsive to any questions I had, and was offering suggestions for the area I found useful. I’m glad to have found this place. While on this trip, I did not bring my dogs, I will be sure to stay here on my next one to the area. I typically stay in hotels here, but I will do my best to stay at Nancy’s anytime visiting in the future.

Simply beautiful, charming and cozy stay. The waterfall was amazing, it was frozen but I think that made it even more beautiful, its a short hike to the fall and in my 2-day stay I went about 5 times. Even cold plunged in the fall! The wood stove is so toasty and they have an abundance of wood to last all winter. The kitches has literally everything you can think of and you can tell a food lover lives here. There's even binders with tons of recipes that seems to be made throughout decades, super cool. Overall great stay and just what we needed. Highly recommend!

When I first pulled up to Kliment's, I literally teared up - that's how breath-taking his spot is. It was just what the doctor ordered... if doctors actually treated your mind, body, and soul and not just your body :) Seriously though, Kliment's place was an oasis for me: private, quiet, peaceful, with amazing views of the Catskill mountains. His home itself was beautifully decorated, simple yet super cozy, and had everything I needed and then some. (And the chickens were lovely company as well!) Kliment is one of the best Airbnb hosts I have ever had, hands down. With a very hectic schedule, Kliment was flexible, responsive, kind and patient with accommodating my many change requests and needs throughout my stay. Kliment is not just a wonderful host, but also a truly wonderful person - the world needs more people like him. In short: I can't recommend Kliment's home or him as a host enough! If you are hovering over the "Reserve Now" button, book it!!! You won't regret it! :)

AMAZING HOME!! Concept design home, very well furnished. We loved all the personal elements it had! The location is great and the hike down to the water was perfect. Highly recommend booking this escape!

I booked Devra's place on behalf of my parents. Devra was so accommodating to them! They thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Devra's place is within walking distance of many shops and restaurants.

We had a great stay at Michelle’s place. It was very conveniently located to the base of Jiminy Peak, which made getting to and from the mountain very easy. The house was very well appointed and had everything we needed. We used the fireplace twice and it was super easy. Having access to the facilities at The Country Inn at Jiminy Peak was great as I am injured and can’t ski currently, so instead I went to the gym each day. My family didn’t want to leave and my kids are asking when we can go back!

We had a lovely Labor Day weekend stay at Julie’s house. There was lots of space indoors and out. The hot tub, pool, fire pit, and grill were all put to good use and made our stay so homey and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with all the tools and appliances needed. The location is excellent with easy access to 87, SPAC, and the race track.

Perfect for our family of 6 adults and 2 kids. Andrew & Tracy were fantastic hosts and the home was nice and spacious. A quick drive brought us to downtown Saratoga and the racetracks! We hope to stay again soon.

Twelve members of our family stayed here for our annual ski weekend at Jiminy Peak. It was exactly what we needed as our home base -- plenty of room for all of us, good amenities, and the living room gave us a large gathering space where we could all sit after a day of skiing and swap stories, play games, and just enjoy being together. The house was very clean, well-stocked, and the owners were really responsive. We highly recommend it!

Loved staying here! It was super cozy and a lovely home away from home for the holidays. House is as described and very spacious. Fireplace makes it extra cozy when the weather got cold. Host was very proactive and responded to any question or issue almost immediately. We will definitely be staying here again!

We always book with Dawn! Her place is amazing. We feel right at home. She ensures the house has everything you could need in case you forget something. There are extra details to make your stay more comfortable. Her linens are softer than mine at home! There is plenty of space for my family of five to stay comfortably. I highly recommend booking here! We can’t wait until our next stay here.

This was our third stay at Marks place. It is a wonderful stay and always has everything you need for a comfortable stay. If you are coming for a concert, the trail is easy to access, but bring your walking shoes. It’s very easy to walk to downtown Saratoga which is nice because parking is crazy in downtown. The pool is always clean and ready for a hot summer day.
