Family-friendly holiday rentals in Middletown

Such a beautiful spot on the lake!!! We had the most beautiful weekend, the kids loved he pool and the boats, nothing was missing! We would have stayed another week! Jennifer and Jose answered all our messages within a few minutes and were super accommodating. We will definitely be back!

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!

This A-frame escape was exactly what I needed — the perfect break from the city. The place is beautifully designed, cozy, and filled with thoughtful touches. The jacuzzi was absolutely incredible, especially under the stars at night, and the A-frame structure made the whole stay feel like a peaceful retreat.

Abagail was very helpful in getting settled. The house is full of interesting antiques and paintings. There was a wonderful view of the Litchfield Hills and a lot to do outside. It is rustic but it has every convenience of home. Great shower. Must have been a barn but now it is a museum of Art Nueveau treasures and stained glass. Very peaceful and slept great.

My fiancé and I stayed at Lambs hill to celebrate our anniversary. We had the most wonderful time. The views are breathtaking. The wrap around deck with jacuzzi and hammock made our stay calming and serene. I loved seeing the horses and donkeys throughout the day. They made the experience even more special and unique. Charlotte was super responsive and accommodating. We took cabs to Main Street at night for dinner and drinks and it was so close and convenient. I left my heart in lambs hill and can’t wait to return one day.

The Barnhouse was very beautiful and cozy! Comfortably sleeps 8 with enough bathrooms for all to share. We especially loved all the plants and how easy it was to entertain a group of 8. The only qualms we had were the shower in the master bedroom and that there were quite a few lights out around the house which was especially challenging in the kitchen.

We had such a great stay at Eugene’s place! The house was perfect for our group — spacious, comfortable, and full of fun things to do. We especially loved the private theatre, the hot tub, and especially the sauna — such a great touch! The volleyball net was a hit, and there were tons of games in the closet that kept us entertained. The kitchen was well-stocked and roomy enough for us to cook meals for our large group, and there were plenty of different areas to hang out in, everyone could find their own space to relax. The towels were plentiful (huge plus) and having access to the washer and dryer came in handy during our stay. Eugene was a fantastic host — super friendly, very responsive, and just really helpful all around. We also got to enjoy a few deer sightings right in the yard, which felt magical. We visited the nearby alpaca farm and did the Beer Mountain hike, which was a nice outing. All in all, a wonderful stay. Would absolutely come back. Thank you Eugene!

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.

Cozy cabin in peaceful surroundings. Place had everything you need. Communication with host superb - responsive and helpful. Enjoyed our stay.

We were absolutely charmed by this stunning house, surrounded by breathtaking nature and offering incredible views—especially over the lake. Every corner is filled with character and warmth, making it feel like a true hidden gem. A huge thank-you to our wonderful host Sandy, who was incredibly thoughtful and proactive throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll be back without a doubt!

We had a really lovely stay at this cabin in Boiceville. It rained every day during our trip, but honestly, we didn’t mind—it made the space feel extra cozy. We spent our time relaxing indoors, reading, cooking, and just enjoying the slower pace. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was tucked away enough to feel peaceful, but still a short drive to Esopus Creek and Phoenicia, which we enjoyed exploring when the rain let up. The host was helpful and easy to communicate with, and everything about the stay went smoothly. If you’re looking for a calm, quiet retreat in the Catskills—even on rainy days—this spot is a great pick.

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.

This place is truly a gem! We enjoyed swimming in the waterfalls and relaxing under the trees. We can’t wait to return. The house is also lovely with lots of interesting and quirky touches that we enjoyed. Incredibly well stocked kitchen and everything we could want!

Our family gets a cabin in upstate NY every summer to escape the city life and this was by far everyone's favorite summer cabin so far. The property is beautiful and quiet. Patrick made the process very easy and the cabin is so warm and welcoming. Our dog LOVED swimming in the stream and playing in the yard with the kids.

Jessica and Kate's place is so wonderful! It was very clean, full of personality, and very well stocked -- lots of toiletries, kitchen utensils, and appliances. I had a logistical issue that kept me from checking out on time and they were incredibly understanding and communicated very well. Thanks so much and I hope to return soon!

Dan's place was lovely. Lots of light, beautiful views of the Hudson River and dog friendly. Dan himself was responsive, flexible and helpful. I don't think I'll stay anywhere else when visiting family.

Spent a weekend here with friends and had an awesome time. Yevgeniy was extremely accommodating, and responded to any questions very quickly. I would 100% come back.

This is the second time we have stayed in one of Kristof’s studios at The Appalachian. As last time, he was great to rent from and very responsive. The studio was perfect for our needs as we were there for a downhill mountain bike race. It was great to be onsite the whole weekend. The studio has everything you need and being on the second floor was nice.

My wife and I had a great stay at Paul’s place. Very clean and just as described. Look forward to staying again in the future.

We had an amazing stay at the cottage! It's modern and thoughtfully designed, but still feels cozy and inviting. It’s tucked away in a peaceful spot surrounded by trees, yet only a 3-minute drive from town. You feel totally removed and relaxed, but everything you need is right nearby. I worked remotely for part of the trip, and the setup was perfect. There’s a dedicated desk with a view of the mountains, and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. Natural light poured into the cottage through the skylights. It was spotless and comfortable. The bed and linens were top notch, water pressure was great and hot—little details that make a difference. The pool was a highlight. It’s heated, with plenty of loungers and umbrellas, and it felt totally private and calm. We ended up spending an entire day out there just soaking it in. The hosts were lovely. They were helpful when we needed them, but also gave us complete privacy. We’d absolutely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone!

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.***

We had a beautiful stay in Kerhonkson for a relaxing bachelorette weekend! Lillian’s place is absolutely beautiful and was so comfortable for my friends and I. Everything was as described, extremely clean, plenty of linens and had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook a few meals. We enjoyed sitting by the pool when it was sunny. Lillian was very communicative and flexible with check in time. Thank you!

It was comfortable, very roomy, and cozy. There was good shared space and good privacy. The grounds were lovely, there was a great pool, and it was very convenient to so many good things to do in the area. It's one of our favorite rentals to date!

We loved staying at Bill's beautiful home! Truly even more gorgeous in person. Bill was friendly and communicative. He asks renters to sign an additional contract, but all his requests were reasonable/standard airbnb rules. The house is comfortable and spacious and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. It's a speedy drive (3 min) to the main street of Woodstock -- restaurants and shopping galore. We cannot wait to come back and stay again!
