Newly Renovated Gem in Melrose - Pet Friendly
A really nice apartment! You can tell the host put a lot of work into it to make it so comfy and cute! Great hosts too, quick responses and kind suggestions. The neighborhood is also very peaceful and pretty!

The Eastsider (Emma Willard, RPI, Troy)
This was my second time staying here and it’s perfect what I needed. I come up from the city to work Saratoga racetrack and just need a place to lay my head. It’s great affordable and clean. If you’re interested in downtown Troy, it’s a quick 10 minute drive. Also there is a Stewart’s close by. John and Shauna were very accommodating on both my visits!

The Little Red House
This was the perfect place for our stay. The house is small, as it is listed, and had everything we needed. Having a washer and dryer available was an added plus for us. The house is well taken care of and very clean. The back yard was a great and gave my husband a nice place to read and enjoy the nice weather. Codie is an excellent host. He responded promptly any time I had a question.

11 mi. to Rivers Casino, 15 mi. to Saratoga
Mary Ann’s Airbnb was my first and definitely will not be my last. So much nicer than a hotel. The beautiful landscaping and garden accented the place. The Airbnb was cozy and very quiet. We had access to a mini fridge, a microwave and a Keurig. We were pleasantly surprised to find coffee, creamer, bottled water, and disposable cups, plates, bowls, and silverware. The Roku TV is just what we needed after a long day of exploring the area and visiting family. Motion controlled outdoor lights helped us find our way when we got back after dark. When in the area again, we will definitely stay at Mary Ann’s Airbnb.

Spacious Apartment Downtown Albany, NY
Spotless. Comfortable. Responsive. Located within walking distance of a great many restaurants, bars and entertainment venues. I don’t know what else to say because if this isn’t enough for you.. good luck! We enjoyed a wonderful stay. 10/10 recommend.

Luxury A-Frame Cabin w/ Hot Tub
Fil & Ellie’s place was the perfect stay for our getaway. Their home is amazing. We were very impressed by the amenities, the cleanliness and attention to detail. This place has everything you’ll need for a great stay. The hosts were also very helpful in answering our questions and assisting us with check-in. I would highly recommend staying here if you have the chance.

Pond View Cabin. Off-Grid, Rustic & Dog Friendly.
This is, hands down, the best place I’ve stayed since I’ve been traveling to NY. Brian is a great host and the property is amazing. Dig the off grid location and setup. Tranquility and peace is what you seek? This is it.

Triplex oasis w:parking near MVP
Thank you so much, Diana for your hospitality. Your space was amazing to stay at and definitely a refresher that my husband and I needed on our stay to see and spend time with family and friends. We definitely know where we wanna stay at when we come back and visit . Thank you again for everything!
