Family-friendly vacation rentals in Capital District, New York

LJ was a fantastic host and the place was great!

We had a lovely long weekend with our 20 year old daughters and our dog. We celebrated a birthday and midsummer and really relaxed. The house was comfortable, clean and offered an relaxing environment. The Sauna, hot tub and She Shed were fan favorites with our family! Highly recommend for a family of 4-6.

We went for a quick weekend getaway with our two dogs and absolutely loved William and Liz’s home, we didn’t want to leave!! I loved the privacy, how peaceful it was, and of course the views! Our dogs enjoyed all the free space to run as well. We unfortunately had a lot of rain when we stayed, causing our tour of howes cavern to be canceled due to flash flooding. We were rescheduled which affected our check out time, but they were so sweet and offered us to check out whenever we liked and even offered us an extra night to stay! (We wish we could have). It was a wonderful weekend getaway and we all can’t wait to go back! :)

Amo's house was beautiful, comfortable and easy to be in. He was very responsive to any questions and extremely accommodating. The grounds are ample for the children to enjoy in many ways. Sleeping accommodations were perfect for our large family and everyone was happy. We hope to return next year.

What a truly lovely sanctuary. We spent five wonderful nights in this cabin. The lake was beautiful, and everything was so quiet. Kitchen has everything you need plus! The decor was beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful vacation, even though it rained almost every day, we didn't care just relaxing in this cabin, reading books and playing games, was well worth it. Thank you so much for this beautiful location. On a side note, we had a campfire one night and the Loons were serenading us. I taped them and have listened to it many times since returning.

Great host and great soaking tub! Beautiful surroundings to chill out and relax in.

Wonderful space with lots of privacy. Would stay again in a heart beat!

I stayed for a long weekend with my boyfriend & dog and Mary's place was perfect! The house is very spacious and comfortable and well-stocked. The deck has an amazing view and we loved going in the hot tub after hiking. I would 100% recommend this place and hope that I am able to come back in the future!

Ellen is a spectacular host who communicated clearly and promptly responded to questions. She also gave us invaluable local recommendations that made our trip that much better. The property is beautiful. If anything, the pictures don't do it justice. I would highly recommend Ellen's cabin for anyone looking for peace and relaxation!

We absolutely loved Maple Hill Farms. It's a wonderful place and a perfect choice for a trip to the Berkshires if you're an animal lover. The best part of our weekend was bonding with Philip's sweet and friendly donkeys! The studio is well laid out with everything you need, the farm is beautiful and peaceful (except for the roosters, haha!), and the location is great for visiting local sights like Mass MoCA and The Mount. We hope to be back!

We had the best time staying at this cozy cottage, very comfortable with an awesome view! Kitchen had everything we would need. Great hospitality from Wayne and Renee! We can’t wait to come back again soon

Ilze and Laurence’s place felt like home away from home. Every morning, we were greeted with chirping birds, clucking hens (was even able to order a dozen eggs straight from their free-range poultry—so organic!)—and a smiling donkey! It is a place were you can find peace and rest for your soul even for just a few days.

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!

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

Nancy’s place was clean and in a great location. We enjoyed walking downtown for meals and events. She was incredibly communicative and kept us in the loop for all current events, check in/check out instructions and more. Thanks for having us Nancy!

Robert and Sandra were so helpful in making sure we were able to get the experience we were hoping for. The cabin is beautiful and we enjoyed looking through the photos of its construction. It was clean, comfortable, and very private.

Cute house, open concept first floor was great for a weekend with our girlfriends! Hava was very responsive and kind!

Billy and Rhobin were so helpful and easy to communicate with. The house was so comfortable and peaceful. The property was lovely! 5 Stars all around! Thank you for a fantastic stay!

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

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.***

My family stayed here for a weekend trip to Windham. The location to the ski area was very close, only 6 minutes away. There were plenty of nearby restaurants, markets, and coffee. The house is clean and cozy and perfect for a family of 4 or 5.

This comfortable, cozy, magical piece of Catskill paradise was the perfect place to gather to mourn the loss of my father and make some new family memories for a lifetime. Photography is a hobby of mine and the picturesque landscape allowed me to get lost in my passion. We cooked all our meals together in the well-appointed kitchen, challenged each other in the PacMan arcade game and cuddled up together to watch the stars shine and a movie on the comfy couch. We took long walks and met two local farm horses grazing freely in the local fields. The wonderful host was very accommodating and fast to respond. We loved her thorough recommendations for local dining, fun activities and nearby shopping. Book this cabin in the Catskills! You will not be disappointed! We will be back! ". . . there are deeper gorges, greater streams and higher mountains but in no other place is the combination so blended into a harmony so perfect as to form such tempting bits for the camera or the brush.”

Stayed for a weekend with my fiancé and dog. The studio was clean and spacious and included everything you might need. The property was beautiful, scenic and tranquil - and the pool was a definite highlight! The location was ideal as the town of Woodstock is just a quick drive away, which created a perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Definitely recommend and would love to return again.

Loved Mary's guesthouse! Great hosts who helped me with luggage. Beautiful surroundings with gardens and pool. Bed was super comfy and host provided coffee and fresh milk made my stay even better. Perfect place to stay for a visit to Williamstown!
