House vacation rentals in Albany

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!

We stayed here for about a week to getaway away from the city and we absolutely loved it! It was the perfect place to recharge and relax. Everything was as described!

The teahouse and surroundings were relaxing and peaceful. We saw groundhogs, deer, and chipmunks from the porch and our 2 dogs loved exploring the field and wandering in the nearby woods. The pool was amazing and warm despite the rain and the natural landscaping couldn’t have been more beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay!

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

Beautiful country home, SUPERB location, large grounds with a beautiful pool, and communicative and kind host. We had a wonderful stay.

This listing had the most gorgeous view. We enjoyed eating meals out on the patio in the mild summer weather. The amenities really set this place apart. We enjoyed the games left in the living room, all the kitchen supplies, the bathroom niceties, and the wireless chargers in the primary bedroom. The hot tub was the biggest highlight. It has been well maintained and the instructions left on how to use it made things very easy. Omer was friendly and very responsive. I would highly recommend this place.

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.***

This was my first ever experience with AirBNB. I couldn't have stayed at a better location for my first experience! Melissa's home was warm welcoming and beautiful. I stayed for four nights with my four children. There was plenty of space for all of us. Although my youngest still chose to sleep with me lol the bed was still big enough for the two of us. The pool was absolutely perfect, my kids loved it! The hot tub was very relaxing and very easy to use. My kids really enjoyed it too. The grill worked wonderfully and the fire pit was great for smores. The covered patio made watching my kids enjoy the pool even more relaxing for me, I'm a ginger so if I can be outside and out of direct sunlight that's a huge bonus for me. The kitchen had everything we needed as well. Melissa was very responsive when I had questions and I cannot thank her enough for the great week. We'll be back next June for another week! Can't wait to return to this fantastic vacation spot!

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 !!!  

Cody’s place was clean and convenient. The bed is very comfortable and Cody was responsive when we had questions! Our only comment was that the grass was very high when we arrived, but they the front lawn was mowed during our stay. Having the back lawn mowed would have been great since we had our dog with us but overall we had a nice stay and would recommend Cody’s to others!

It’s alway’s great when your expectations are met, but when they’re exceeded that’s next level! It’s the perfect spot for a getaway, with 15 to 20 mins access to a plethora of options in one of the most beautiful places in the northeast. Thank you Justine, can’t wait to visit again.

Amazing way to kick off the summer season with a stay at Martina’s beautiful cottage! The decor is lovely, everything was clean and uncluttered but warm and welcoming. The view of the gorgeous meadow, river and the Catskill mountains in the distance cannot be beat. Sitting on the deck enjoying the birds, butterflies, bunnies and lightening bugs was incredibly relaxing. The location is great for exploring the nearby towns of Tivoli, Red Hook and Germantown. You can also explore a bit further to Bash Bish Falls and the Harlem Valley Rail trail. The soaking tub and waterfall shower are also wonderful amenities to come home to after an active day exploring all the area has to offer. Martina is an excellent host who is easy to communicate with and she is very responsive to any inquiries. I highly recommend this location!

Erion was very responsive, home in in a very accessible location that met our needs beautifully. Thank you for your hospitality!

The place was amazing! I would definitely stay here again. The place was well stocked, Cindy promptly responded, and the house was so clean! This has been one of my favorite air bnb’s I’ve stayed at. It felt so homey, the beds were comfortable. I loved all the additional things you left in case a guest forgot something. I can’t say enough how great this place is!! The location was also great. It was close to shopping and food. I give this a 10/10 rating.

Lawrence and Ilze are great hosts! They actually just live next to the house and they own a farm. We took our kid to visit their farms with lots of beautiful chickens and roosters. My son even has a chance to feed the chickens. We will definitely come back!

Perfect spot for my family of 4 on a quick Albany stop over. House was super clean, beds were comfy, and Deanna left extra lights on because we were getting in late. Convenient to highway and local amenities.

really enjoyed staying at Nana's place! was super clean, comfortable. beautiful location with great views everywhere. awesome kitchen with everything you could need. Christopher was very kind as well

Our stay at the lake was truly amazing! The house was impeccably clean and well-maintained, and the location was perfect for enjoying the lake. Lisa was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

Our stay was wonderful and for the first time the pictures matched the descriptions and the views were gorgeous. Nice and quiet area I would recommend to anyone that wants getaway. Scott was an awesome host, very proactive and great communicator.

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.

We cannot say enough great things about this house… it was perfect in every way! Pristinely clean! So much to do! Pool, ping pong, karaoke, billiards! Great sitting areas for socializing. Our only regret was that we didn’t book it for longer! Wouldn’t hesitate to book here again in the future! Thank you so much Kayce and your team!

Great getaway and launching point for hiking or visiting hudson. We loved grilling and enjoying the hot tub at the end of the day. The place is beautifully decorated and has everything you would need to cook and relax. Thanks!

Lovely stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and clearly designed with care. Everything felt thoughtfully chosen, and the amenities were great—comfortable bedding, quality toiletries, and a well-stocked kitchen. Would definitely stay here again!

Everything was top-notch! Richard and Priscela have obviously put a great deal of effort into the space and we were very impressed. Everything was beautiful. Huge TV in the living room and then each bedroom had a very nice TV. We appreciated the water in the fridge! We would highly recommend Richard and Priscela and would definitely stay here again. Also, they left a pizza place recommendation which was EXCELLENT!!
