Lake house holiday rentals in Catskill Mountains

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 !!!  

Stayed for a long weekend with our pup. The house was perfect, they thought of everything! Amazing lake view. 14 minute drive to town and just under 20 to the next town. Plenty of good food, drinks and shopping! Thank you Marzena for being an exceptional host!

This was a 12/10 experience! My girlfriend and I both brought out two pups and loved every second of our stay. Every corner we turned was a new decoration in the house that caught our eye, so creative and fun!! Soaked up the back yard, fire pit, and water! We will definitely be returning!!

I want to thank Yanna for a wonderful time at her beautiful lake home. My friends and I stayed for a few days and it was an awesome experience. Simply 100% Beautiful. The beautiful scenery and living accommodations were emasculate. Yanna was very responsive and receptive to our requests and messages. I would recommend staying at this property for sure and my friends and I are already talking about when we’re going back. Thank you Yanna!

We had an incredible stay at this airbnb! It was so lovely, comfortable, spacious and had so many wonderful amenities. The lake was beautiful, and the house was equipped with mostly everything you need for a long weekend getaway. We can't wait to visit again. Thank you for everything, Nataliya !

What a wonderful place to stay. Everything perfect. Lake very nice and enjoyable. We will definitely return. Host is perfect.

Our family had a lovely time at the Creekside Retreat. We arrived to a clean house with clear instructions for entering. Parking was convenient to the front door. We settled in and played scrabble which was provided by the host in the game cabinet. The second day we enjoyed a great breakfast at a local diner and went hiking about 20 miles away at Minnewaska state park. There was also a walking trail much closer we may check out on another trip. There was a park nearby my children walked to play baseball. Our two dogs made themselves at home. The creek was flooded so we weren’t able to enjoy the deck on it or the boat - maybe next time. The hot tub also didn’t work while we were there but we didn’t realize until later in our stay so it may have been a simple solution. The host generously left towels, blankets, and toiletries but we couldn’t find wash cloths. Wood was left out for the fire. Overall, we had what we needed for a great weekend getaway.

We had a lovely stay! Stocked kitchen to prepare everything you need to keep you fueled up while enjoying the outdoors. This home has everything the family needs to take full advantage of the lake and the yard. We were pleasantly surprised to be able to play badminton and kick around a soccer ball after kayaking on the lake. And at night the game room is stocked with various games to keep you and your family entertained. So grateful to have spent our long weekend here. Highly recommend.

The best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at! It truly felt like home—every detail was so thoughtfully taken care of. You have everything you need for a comfortable stay, from a well-stocked space to those little touches that make a big difference. The bed and pillows were super comfortable, and even though it rained, the hosts had dry firewood ready for the fireplace, which made it feel extra warm and inviting. We loved sitting by the lake and even saw a fish jump out of the water—such a magical moment! Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish. And thank you so much for approving our cats to stay with us—it meant the world. If we could give 10 stars, we absolutely would. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and welcoming getaway. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

I’m so coming back to this ideal location for a getaway. Angela was an excellent host. Beautiful house by the lake.

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.

Juliana and Paul were great hosts! There was a storm the day we arrived and they communicated about the towns power outage before our arrival. They had generators on hand and Paul set up the generator and had many extension cords, flashlights and called local supermarkets/restaurants for us. Luckily the outage was just a few hours. The place was clean and spotless. It was quiet and a short drive into Main Street where you can find restaurants. It is close to many beautiful hikes. We would certainly return as it was a joy to stay in such a peaceful home.

Really lovely home with gorgeous outdoor space. I thought it looked even better than the photos (which look great)! We visited with two 3yos, and the house was very thoughtfully designed for both the kids and the adults (baby gates, a high chair, nothing breakable on low shelves, etc). We loved the house and would absolutely come back again

Miguel is a great host. He was really helpful and responsive. His house was extremely well equipped and comfortable. The surroundings are beautiful. Probably our best Airbnb experience in the US.

Gary's cabin was a great place to stay! Was a perfect place for 5 adults, very quaint and rustic log cabin, had all the amenities we all needed. Gary and Monica met us there, super nice people, showed us the cabin and features and had a pizza cooking for us when we arrived!!! Really close drive to Bethel Woods and White Lake where there's the restaurants on the lake we like to go to after the Spartan Race. If my husband does another Spartan, we will be staying here again 😀

My group and I absolutely loved this home! It looks even better and bigger in person. The location is beautiful and they provided lots of things to do in the water. We were never bored. The host was very responsive with any questions we had. Would love to stay here again!

Lovely space to stay! We stayed for one night to go to a concert at Bethel Woods. It was perfect for a quiet space to return to with a beautiful view.

What a wonderful place to spend a weekend getaway in the Catskills! The house is very nicely decorated, comfortable, clean, and made us feel right at home. The covered porch is perfect for outdoor dining or just relaxing. The property is private. If you love nature or are a birding, this is the place to stay! Only a short drive to downtown Livingston Manor. Sarah is a wonderful host!

We had an amazing weekend in the Catskills thanks to The Nest at Swiss. We brought five kids and 5 adults and we had the greatest time. Plenty of room to spread out while also a ton to do. We watched movies, played cards, made pop corn, built fires, smoked meat, went fishing, kayaking, played endless games of manhunt and monopoly. The Nest was set up for everything. We really enjoyed the short walks into Jeffersonville and hanging out on the decks. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect for Memorial Day weekend it did not matter to us. The Nest is also really close to Bethel Woods and we took him to concert on Saturday night super convenient location. The house was fully stocked and had everything we can think of. Well done Matthew!

We enjoyed our stay in Liberty! The house was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the deck and living room fire place. The dock on the lake was so peaceful, we spent hours reading and painting on one of our days at the house. We took the boat out too which was a lot of fun! The beds were very comfortable. Liberty doesn’t have much going on but the surrounding towns have great restaurants (15 min drive). We loved hiking and checking out some nearby breweries. We’d highly recommend checking out the Bethel Woods Arts Center where Woodstock was held, such a cool museum!

We had a great time at Francois & Ann's oasis by the lake. It was so relaxing to wake up, look at the lake, and listen to birds chirp. If you are looking for isolation, this place does the trick, We didn't see anyone all week on the lake or at the other cabins until the day we left. The lake has excellent fishing. With little effort, we caught several decent-sized bass and pickerel right off the dock. The location is ideal. You feel like you are out in the country, but are close to great restaurants in Kinderhook and only 25 minutes from Hudson or Albany. It's also only an hour from Mass Moca and 90 minutes to Cooperstown. Francois and Ann were very communicative and quickly responded to questions and comments.

We had a great stay at Victoria's house. The pictures of the house are accurate and Victoria was a very responsive /helpful host. The land and particularly the stream are much more beautiful and expansive in person than we were expecting. Do yourself a favor and go explore the grounds. The setting is private, serene, and a great way to recharge your battery. I would highly recommend this property if you like the outdoors and wants to have a quiet and relaxing trip where you can reconnect with nature.

After using Airbnb for years now no other place was a perfect 10. The lake house was simply great. Not only the physical status but the follow up and generosity of the hosts where beyond. We didn’t want to leave.

Beautiful property on the lake. Looks just like the photos. We had a great time.
