Holiday rentals with a kayak in Ulster

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 !!!  

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!

We loved staying at this house! I gathered up good friends for a birthday weekend of art, biking, visiting a winery for music, and spending precious time together. The three bedrooms and two baths were perfect. One of my friends enjoyed the big bathtub! We loved the open great room with the windows towards the mountains. The host was super kind and responsive to my questions. I am still smiling and would recommend this place whole heartedly.

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

Jason's home was lovely and accurately described & appointed - my friends and I spent a wonderful weekend with our pups and were even blessed by some snow! The fireplaces (yes - two!) were a great add-on and we were super excited to relax and enjoy all the home has to offer. Thanks so much again Jason! :)

Beautiful location on the lake. We enjoyed using the kayak, deck, grill, kitchen, and pool table. Excellent communication from Scott. Plenty of room for the whole family. Thank you!

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!

Clean and comfortable cottage across the street from a lovely small lake. Good communication, easy to find. Enjoyed walking the pups around the lake. Plenty of wildlife (deer, ducks) around.

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!

The area was absolutely beautiful. Valhalla Lake was private with stunning views. The cabin was exactly as it was described and the book of directions that was left for guidance was easy to follow.

We had a perfect weekend at Nadia’s house. The house was extremely well-styled, comfortable, and cozy. The multiple decks overlooking the river were beautiful, and we spent an entire day enjoying the sunshine, then the sunset, then a fire at night, all overlooking the water. It was extremely quick and easy to get an Uber into Kingston for a dinner out, and aside from that we felt no reason to leave the property. We hope to come back soon!

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.

Great place that looked just like the pictures! We would definitely rent again. Brad always responded right away to my messages.

I stayed for a month solo to focus on my projects & it was the most peaceful month. The house is contained in nature with a plethora of birds & animal life that I witnessed.. a crane fishing at the creek beside the house as I worked, a pair of woodpeckers hunting at the lawn, a chipmunk that lives under the house & has a morning ritual of its own. All while the lake boasted breathtaking sunsets. On the practical side, the kitchen was fully equipped with everything one needs to cook everyday, which I did. It was private & safe for a solo girl like me to stay a month. Amazon found its way to it no problem. And there are nice streets to take long walks which I did 1 hour a day. Very friendly neighbors, everyone waves at ya. The covered patio, working from the dinner table, waking up in the bedroom to the lake.. all main areas are flanked by beauty. Really was perfect for a solo getaway. Also wifi was very reliable. Keep in mind lake living = insects. They’re harmless. Highly rec renting!

Very nice peaceful places and very good service i will definitely be back soon, thank you

Absolutely gorgeous place. Was so peaceful and nice. Meghan was friendly and responded very fast when we needed something. Would love to come back and enjoying the kayaks on the beautiful lake again!

Jill’s place was beautiful , cozy and unique. She was very accommodating with any questions we had, and the area had lots to offer. We drove through the mountains, checked out the historic Woodstock grounds, and went to many of the really cool breweries that were suggested. We also really enjoyed playing many of the records that she had while enjoying sunsets from the lake view of the house. Definitely would recommend and would love to come back for a visit

Very nice house, good fishing and wildlife nearby. A little closer to the neighbors than expected, but overall a great place and would love to come back

Ivan's home was beautiful. The location on the lake was so quiet and peaceful. It was clean and it had everything we needed. We look forward to coming back again!

This place the atmosphere the surroundings it was all so lovely and needed, the price paid off. I loved the views the water and the shower outside. The bed was so comfortable very clean the place overall was very comfy I felt so comfortable. I recommend this place for a stay if you love to be away from people and need calmness. Everything was on spot from the house, the area outside to everything included. Thankyou so much for this, 10/10

We had an amazing valentines weekend and my dog couldn’t have had more fun ! This private cabin in the neck of the woods can truly be described as a real getaway ! It has a beautiful landscape and is strapped with everything we needed and more. After a full day of hikes in the local area, we found ourselves snowed in and enjoyed some card games. We had an outdoor fire in the stone pit and made some smores. Colleen and Julian were also super accommodating for us due to the weather conditions as well. They are beyond helpful ! Thank you guys ! Will definitely be back !

We had a wonderful stay at Marta's house. Everything was spotless, well cared for and thoughtful. The check in process was so simple and the house rules were easy to follow. The record collection was such a nice touch, especially on a rainy Saturday afternoon and the basement with a full media setup and games was perfect for a Saturday night in. The beds were comfortable, plenty of towels and amenities and the hot tub was great as well! The location was also great! Nothing bad to say about this amazing little spot :-)

From the moment we walked in we felt so at ease and at home. It is completely updated and looks like it a professional interior decorator designed it. The pictures don't do it justice. About 5 min from Bethel Woods which was fantastic. Would recommend this beautiful home 100%.
