Holiday rentals with lake access in Capital District, New York

Martha’s place is the perfect waterfront property to stay at for a relaxing weekend! The amenities are great and it is a cozy/updated camp with everything you need! It is close to neighbors and situated in a walkable community with friendly people. Great for a summer getaway with family or friends!

Where do I begin... I've stayed at numerous Airbnb properties, but this one stands out as one of the most beautiful settings I've encountered. The views of the lake are breathtaking, and having direct access to it was a huge bonus. We made full use of the canoes and kayaks provided, enjoying them every day. My husband, an avid fisherman, was thrilled with the lake, calling it one of the best freshwater fishing spots he's ever visited. The grounds are impeccably maintained and offer plenty of privacy. Inside, the house is both comfortable and well-appointed. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the pots, pans, utensils, and small appliances you could need. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the linens are of high quality. The furniture is tasteful and inviting. Karen was a wonderful host, easy to communicate with and responsive. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. I would return in a heartbeat and recommend this place without hesitation.

We had a great time staying at L.J’s place. Our children loved app that there was to do and we took daily walks down to the frozen lake. Lots of fun sledding and relaxing!

We had the BEST TIME at this fantastic Lakeside house in Valatie!  The house itself has 3 good bedrooms – 2 large bedrooms upstairs with a nice bathroom and tub.  The downstairs has the other cute bedroom, another full bathroom,  a good sized kitchen open to a great and large living and dining area. The VIEW from the main room is stunning and was our ‘TV’ for the week.  The lake is just gorgeous!  It has a little dock with kayaks and plenty of nice seating and lounge chairs.  It’s great to have a full grass lawn !  The pups loved the house and the yard and the lake!  The house was super clean and roomy but cozy in it’s feel.  So many great little towns nearby – it was just the perfect house to get away from the city!  The community was chill, even tho it was Memorial Day weekend.  Thanks to Michael who was super responsive (not that we needed anything!) but if we had a question. Etc.  Thank you Michael ! We hope to be back for another visit !!!  

Our stay was amazing. The scenery was beautiful, the cabin itself was well stocked and clean and our host was extremely responsive and helpful. We will definitely be returning in the future!

We had a great time, the location is great, right on the water and the fishing was even better. A very quiet lake and much bigger when you are out on it in the kayaks. I would surely stay here again!

Excellent location with private pond. This home was truly built for a family gathering. Wonderful entertaining spaces, large fireplace with an expansive kitchen to cook in. There is a large game room with board games to suite all ages, billiards, croquet, and a small row boat for fun.

A great stay at the Lake House. Gorgeous views, fully stocked kitchen, and canoes/SUPs/kayak for everyone. Andrew was very responsive and a great host. We hope to return soon!

Incredible Airbnb. You can walk everywhere in Troy from here and have a great view of the River. I stayed here for a full month and couldn’t ask for a better spot. Baptiste was very responsive and gave great recommendations all around the city!

A wonderful stay in a very beautiful location. Amazing hosts. Clean space. Would recommend to anyone.

Wonderful retreat in a beautiful location. The unit was impeccable, attractive, and nicely furnished as part of the owner’s own home. We host our own personal family cabin as a vrbo and were so pleased to receive the same kind of quality and personal care that we offer to our guests. Lynne’s home exudes pride of ownership and special touches (snacks and one very nice breakfast with hosts) were offered to us. I’m their first guest who is vegan; Lynne went above and beyond to make me a tasty oatmeal breakfast. Can’t give enough stars to rate this very attractive, yet affordable, rental unit. Highly recommend. Thank you, Lynne and John, for your gracious hospitality!

It was a perfect place for 2. The home was beautiful inside and out. The property was well maintained and attractive. The setting was stunning. Having kayaks available was a bonus. Inside, nothing was missed. Communication was clear and simple; they offered good suggestions on restaurants and places to visit. Would definitely return!

We had a lovely stay at Alexandra’s apartment. The design was cozy and lovely with eclectic artwork tastefully displayed throughout. The fridge was well stocked with a variety of complimentary beverages, as well as a large variety of coffee and tea available. We had everything we needed and the bed and furniture were very comfortable. She was kind, welcoming and helpful. We would definitely come back!

We had a great time at Bonnie’s place. It was spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom areas were very clean and well stocked.

This is a great place for vacation stay - clean and well maintained. Close to a lot of places, attractions, malls, and a variety of restaurants in the area. Joe is a great host - helped us with check in and made sure we are comfortable. We highly recommend!

The apartment was very comfortable. The fresh eggs and other breakfast items were a great surprise. The location was perfect for let us get away from Dreams Park between games. Our daughters had a great time feeding the animals and jumping on the trampoline.

Went away for the weekend and it was the perfect getaway for us (+ our dog) from the city! Quiet, peaceful, had all the amenities we needed to stay in (hot tub, porch seating, fire pit and streaming on TV), and close to some restaurants and a few cidery/breweries if you wanted to go out. Place was super clean and hosts were very responsive. Would definitely come back and stay for longer if we can next time.

Such a nice, quiet, cozy cabin. Truly does not feel like a cabin. The inside is modern and very clean. Surprisingly spacious! Layout is great. The back porch was the best part. We stayed during a rainy weekend, but sitting on the porch over looking the lake to the sound of the rain was beyond peaceful. Truly a hidden gem. I would stay here again and again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Amazing place. Lisa & Steve's cottage made for an amazing weekend. We had pretty bad weather but it was still a great weekend. The lake is so peaceful and the set up of the cottage is perfect. The cottage has everything you need, as well as everything you didnt know you needed! We'll definitely be back. Ate at The Aviary, The Smokehouse & The Maker (Hudson) - all very different but incredible.

My family had a great time staying at Jennifer’s place. The house was stocked with towels, linens, blankets, and just about anything you forgot to bring from home (face wash, shampoo, dish washing pods, etc.) The backyard was a perfect combination of security (the fenced in yard for our pups) and serenity to unwind and enjoy the fire with family and friend. 10/10 would recommend staying here.

We had an amazing time! The host was incredible. We drove from Boston and got there 2 hours ahead of schedule. Reese let us go in even though check in was at 3. He was so nice and welcoming. The place is beautiful, peaceful and very private. The cabin had way more than I thought. You could really spent a long time there because you basically have all you need. He even had coffee and tea which was a pleasant unexpected treat! I would definitely recommend this place and I look forward to coming back. Great communication with host. Easy to find. Easy to get in. Highly recommend!

This was my first time staying at Ken’s beautiful home on Minerva Lake. When I walked inside I was in awe. The interior home is stunning. A large dining room table was off to the side of the living room and we loved gathering around the table to do watercolor paintings. The bedrooms are comfy and cute. Little details around the house like nightlights and paintings are so sweet. Everything we needed was there for us. The kitchen was cute and we enjoyed cooking our meals and making salads. The fire pit outside was also lots of fun. We made s’mores and we were hoping to see the Northern Lights but unfortunately they didn’t come down south far enough, but we still had fun. The house is extremely comfortable and inviting. We loved our stay and look forward to coming back. Thanks Ken for everything. Lori.

Robins place was just as described. Stunning. Right on the Hudson RiverWe got to see lots of boats of all kinds and the weather couldn’t have been better The place was very clean. Robin responded quickly to anything. I would definitely recommend this place

Sunset is our family's go to for R&R when we need to get out of the city! We first discovered this gem 11 years ago and keep going back. The house is so inviting; cozy and warm, amazing views, 5 min walk to hiking trail. We cooked, watched movies, played games by the fire, and completely relaxed. We love sweet sunset cabin!
