Family-friendly holiday rentals in Schenectady

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!

Absolutely amazing place and experience. Everything about the place was great and the communication and service was the best. We received 5 inches of snow on our last night and they even had the driveway all plowed for us first thing in the morning. That was a very pleasant surprise. Highly recommend!!

The view was absolutely stunning and the environment was so peacefully quiet. The home is beautifully constructed and decorated with all the necessities and amenities. There’s plenty of space for the pups to run around safely, and the hot tub was amazing, especially with that view! William & Liz were excellent communicators and made the whole process incredibly simple. We’ll definitely be back!

I had a wonderful weekend and would highly recommend staying here. My mother and I went up for some peace and relaxation and, even raining all weekend, we both immensely enjoyed ourselves. The cabin was beautiful! The screened in porch, skylights, and fire pit made the environment perfect. Chris was extremely responsive on any and all questions I had in regards to what I could expect when getting to the cabin and made sure that everything was laid out clearly for us on arrival so we had very little questions on checking in/out and expectations while there. You are attached to Moose Cabin, and sometimes we could tell people were in the area when someone laughed too hard, but even that close, we never really heard the people next to us and never once saw them though we were outside often. It was definitely affordable and worth the money considering I felt at home with all the personal effects but had a hotel level of cleanliness.

Couldn’t have been easier than to work with Beth. Under the circumstances in which I rented, she was above and beyond accommodating! Met at check in and check out but only because I wanted to. Beth was more inclined to give us our privacy but I insisted, again, based in my circumstances. Very communicative, honest and down to earth. Had our best interest at heart sincerely. We had a great time and hope to make it an annual trip!

Location and space worked out perfectly for our little surprise birthday party. Clean, comfortable, spacious. Charming old farmhouse.

The house perfect for what we needed. Plenty of space to spread out. Had everything we needed. Host was responsive when we needed anything. Will stay there again for sure. Great place.

One of the most memorable places I’ve been. Definitely have to check out this unit. Love the kitchen with complete equipment. Jacuzzi is so nice. Everything is just magical.

Hetti’s home was even better than expected. It was perfect for my brothers and I to share for a family wedding that we attended. Space for adults and outfitted for children as well (with a fun bunk room, though it went unused this go-around) Gorgeous home and right near the Wylder hotel and downtown Windham. Can’t thank Hetti enough for hosting in such a beautiful home.

We were in Lenox to attend a reunion for the Lenox School for Boys ( Grad “66” ). The cabin was perfect for our needs especially because we could have our dog with us. Most of our time was spent with activities scheduled for the reunion so we didn’t really get to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere surrounding the cabin. There will be another reunion in 2026 so we will be looking forward to another stay at the Luv Shack. Thanks for sharing your abode. Pete & Becky Davis Mechanicsburg PA

Awesome place right in the heart of Albany! Very close to restaurants/bars as well as a very large green space - Washington Park. Both are just a half block away. Perfect! Would stay again thanks Sugey

Our family loved our stay at this house. It is a peaceful and serene setting in a beautiful wooded area. The host was very accommodating on short notice. The house has a very nice and inviting interior, it feels very homey and comfortable. There are many nice places for a hike and the view at the top of the hill on the property is quite scenic, we could see the Catskills to the south. There are all the modern amenities, and the (decorative) antique wood burning stove in the kitchen was a neat touch. I would definitely recommend this place!

Staying at Will and Aenne's barn house was fun and wholesome. I enjoyed saying hello to the animals and the jungle shower most of all. The barn has everything one needs. Though, I must say I was very intimidated by having to light the chef's stove. We walked from the barn to the waterfall down town which was beautiful--great place to hang out and swim in the warmer months. The village of Kinderhook is adorable with quaint little shops. Hudson city had some of the best food I've had in a long time; I strongly recommend eating at Cafe Mutton. Overall, Will and Aenne were very hands-off hosts--as in, they gave us our space and privacy--while still being responsive and attentive. Thank you for the stay! I hope to come back again!

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! :)

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lena’s place. Very quiet, very serene— but close enough to downtown Hudson for when I wanted a night out. The dogs absolutely loved our walks up the long scenic (and completely private) driveway. The cat adored birdwatching from the sliding doors. We will definitely be coming back!

We had a great stay at Niall’s house. So convenient to get to restaurants and bars in town yet house is very private. (Gavin’s bar is a two minute walk.) Lots of local things to do nearby (water park, horseback riding, antiquing, etc.) House is very comfortable, cozy, and clean. Weather didn’t cooperate while we were there but there is a large lovely lawn and a beautiful waterfall across the street. Thank you, Niall!

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 wonderful & relaxing weekend here with a large group for my sister's lowkey bachelorette party. Even with a day of non-stop pouring rain, we were perfectly content with staying in and enjoying the coziness of the house. We had a blast watching the chickens roam around and hanging out with the overly-friendly barn cats while we sat outside. The goats & pigs were happy to greet us at the fence every time. The hot tub and pool were perfect! Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a beautifully scenic and peaceful getaway. Thanks, Sarah & BBVF team!

This is our fifth year coming to the farm. Larissa is absolutely masterful with kids of all ages (even tough kids). My daughter races out at 9 am to do farm chores and begs for more (and this is a kid who drags her feet doing chores at home)!! We love the rhythm of farm and find it really easy to disconnect and unwind. After chores in the morning, you're welcome to spend as much time as you want with the animals, which is a real treat. Whether it's feeding the horses hay, sharing food scraps with the goats, or watching the chickens do their evening routine, there's so much to enjoy. The local towns are lovely, but if you like the farm experience, you may never leave the property. Larissa is incredibly knowledgeable and generous in sharing her experience and expertise. She has created an absolutely magical environment, and I would highly recommend visiting!!

Really just a great weekend! The house was spacious and perfectly accommodated our family. Also perfect distance from town where there is tons to do. Julie was available for questions and was so easy to communicate with. We were in the area to celebrate our son’s college graduation and really could not have selected a more perfect spot!

Our group of 10 family members and close friends had a wonderful time at this lovely house. It's large, clean, comfortable, and well equipped for cooking and relaxing together. The instructions were clear and comprehensive. Jay is friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive - in short, an excellent host. Our whole experience gets a big thumbs up!

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.

Cozy home, on a beautiful property. The natural pool is really special, and we loved staying here. Hope to be back.

Great hosts that make you feel right at home. We were greeted with some extra special touches that we were not expecting during our stay, that was very thoughtful. The space is exactly as pictured and very comfortable. We would definitely come back
