Holiday rentals with a kayak in Otis

Paul's house was everything I needed for a quiet weekend with the kids. The house is cozy, easy to keep organized, and well lit. The view of the lake is the cherry on the cake. The backyard is huge, so my kids had plenty of time to play outside. The neighbors are very nice and quiet. I've never slept in a house as quiet as this one. Paul is very kind and helpful. I will definitely be back.

The location was peaceful and beautiful with great local restaurants, farms, and hiking. The reservoir was a nice amenity with the kayaks and canoe. The house was well maintained and comfortable with pretty views on the first floor. We enjoyed our stay

This was my second time staying at Maureen’s beautiful lakeside home and it surely won’t be my last. It’s the coziest, peaceful and inspiring place. Looking forward to future visits!

You’ll have everything you need in this cozy home—John has truly thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. I really appreciated the little extras, like coffee and essential condiments. It’s those thoughtful touches that make a trip feel so much easier and more enjoyable. Big thanks to John and the hosting team for creating such a warm and welcoming space. Also, thanks, John, for being super responsive—he quickly mailed me some things I accidentally left behind. So grateful for that! Thank you again!

We had a wonderful stay at this location during my daughter’s graduation from Bard College. The location has beautiful views of the lake and the layout of the property was perfect for the family to gather and celebrate, while also giving everyone the space for their own quiet time or rest. I would definitely recommend this location and hope to have the opportunity to stay again.

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.

This place was beautiful and very peaceful. The neighborhood is super quiet. It was a great place to stay and wake up in the morning and drink my morning coffee while listening to nature and look out at cranberry pond. Unfortunately it was a very busy weekend due to staying here for a wedding so I did not get to fully enjoy this cute place that included a paddle boat, fire pit and kayaks. I would definitely recommend this quiet get away to anyone looking for a peaceful vacation or an outdoor vacation with the kids at the lake. The host was also super responsive and helpful during my stay. Only challenging thing that happened which might not happen for everyone is the address had me a couple campsites before the actual location (got to love technology and GPS right). We were able to find it once we drove a little bit farther. However this could have just been my GPS but wanted to give people the heads up if they are also in my position and coming during the nighttime.

We loved the Yellow Victorian! Danielle was a great host--clear, honest, responsive. The space is gorgeous, with so many large rooms, each with its own flavor. The beds were comfy, the living room cozy. And the best part were the kitchen and garden. It felt really spacious for the family to cook together, dink coffee, sit outside and chill. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and all the glass and servingware you will need--loved how eclectic the choices were, made the stay fun! We are definitely coming back next time we are in south county :-)

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!!

My friends and I loved our weekend getaway at Vivian's lake house. Vivian was a very responsive host and provided clear instructions that made our stay seamless. The space was super clean, modern, and easily accommodated all 8 of us. The highlight of our trip was spending time on the lake with the provided kayaks and paddle boards. We enjoyed ending the day by grilling and sitting around the fire pit. We wish we had stayed longer!

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.

It's hard to beat a place like this if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet, and comfortable stay. The lakefront backyard with kayaks, fireplace, heated porch with swing, and amenities to meet any basic need, made this a wonderful base for our group of four adults, a child, and furry friend to explore the area. It's a beautiful country/lake side escape a short drive from a number of villages and towns providing great eats, good shopping, and sightseeing. Highly recommend.

The cottage was easy to check into, clean, and very cozy. It was decorated for the holidays which was perfect for our weekend. We enjoyed the fireplace and the games in the cabin as well! I would consider coming back in the summer to enjoy the outdoor area and lake. Ann-Marie and Carl provided really helpful instructions on how to get to the house.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The hosts thought of everything and made us feel right at home. We could not have been more pleased and would highly recommend this property.

Loved the quick weekend getaway from the city! Wanted somewhere we could stretch out into.. which Ayren’s house fully is.. loved playing the many board games provided and watching movies in the late evenings.. plus a few walks down to the lake and drive to town which is less than 15 min away.. A very communicative host with clear instructions and well laid out amenities and basic kitchen condiments.. Thanks again for a great weekend !

Thank you Ellen for the easeful stay at your cottage with clear instructions. The surroundings are beautiful. We saw an eagle at the lake!

We had a fantastic stay! The property is stunning, right by the water, and impeccably clean. Desiree was an incredible host, always quick to respond and ready to help with anything we needed. Her positive attitude made our experience even better. I highly recommend staying at her place!

Great little cabin in the woods. This was exactly what I was looking for. Quaint, quiet, and located on a lake.

Had a great long weekend on Copake Lake! Amazing kitchen, multiple outdoor spaces for relaxing, and honestly the best mattress I’ve ever experienced in an AirBnB. Tobye was very responsive during our stay and made sure everything went smoothly. Thanks so much!

Beautiful house, perfect for our family retreat. After another host cancelled on us last minute, we found Brian's place and were very happy we did! Brian was very responsive to our needs, and was very helpful throughout the weekend. the kids loved the game room, we set a new record on the Pacman machine. We made s'mores on the front porch in rainy weather, and visited some of the local breweries nearby. We were very pleased with the home, and it was perfect for our long weekend.

Amazing cabin!! My third visit. Was there with friends for fishing and I love the cabin so much that I booked my anniversary weekend and my wife is also in love with the property. Relaxing Birding Fishing Kayaking Fire pit Romantic This place has it all! Book it now! You won’t regret it!

My husband and I spent a long weekend at the cabin for our 10th Anniversary and we had the most peaceful, relaxing stay. The location is impeccable - very private, beautiful setting, close to nearby cute towns. We loved falling asleep listening to the creek and seeing the fireflies over the water. The cabin is adorable and well appointed. Finally, Sam and Catherine could not have been better hosts- very easy to communicate with, reached out with tips, and our dogs enjoyed running around together. We will absolutely be back!

We had a great time here with our 9 month old baby. The pictures don’t do the house justice. Access to the lake for swimming and kayaking and the facilities (pools, beach, basket ball and tennis court) make this a great place for an active vacation. The house has everything you need to travel with a young child (toys, changing table, pack ‘n play and even black out shades). The towns of Athens and Coxsackie are a few minutes away and have decent food and drink options. We would love to come back!

We had a great stay for my daughter’s college graduation. Really enjoyed the house and fire pit. Thanks!
