Family-friendly vacation rentals in Erie Canal

LJ was a fantastic host and the place was great!

We all loved staying at Alec’s place. It was a beautiful house, very clean and well stocked. Linda met us at the door and gave us a guided tour as well as suggestions on where to shop. The view of the lake is beautiful and if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet place, I would definitely recommend staying here!

This location is beautiful! Right on the lake. Easy to go down the stairs to the water. Randall was an excellent host and very responsive. The home is lovely and well kept. We had everything we needed. The hot tub was perfect! We used the canoe and kayaks and had a wonderful time on the lake. We would most definitely rent this again and we’ll keep it on our list! Highly recommend!

Drift away was a wonderful cottage right on the lake. Place was extremely comfortable. Beautiful views. We didn’t have the greatest weather which would have made the trip so much better, so we hope to plan a trip back soon.

Chris’s place was exactly what we were looking for! It rained 2/3 days which was absolutely fine because we had the hot tub and the relaxing cabin to hang out in. We were close enough to some restaurants and we drove to Saratoga Springs for lunch on Saturday which was also beautiful. The drive was about 55mins but not a bad drive in the beautiful scenery. We had a fire Saturday night and the fire pit area was perfect. It had some soft lights outside around the fire pit which made for a great ambiance. Chris was very friendly and helpful! Will definitely make a trip here again :)

Peppermint Cottage was everything we hoped it would be! The scent of peppermint welcomed us upon our arrival. The fireplace and wide-plank floors created a perfect ambiance as we enjoyed the comfortable, cozy living room. The beds were comfy and the sheets crisp and clean. We enjoyed our stay so much that we hope to visit again someday.

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.

The stay at Ferryland was amazing! Ontario lake is such a powerful and beautiful place to be. Jan made the stay possible, easy and comfortable. Will highly consider vacationing again here!!!

A really awesome place, ideal for relaxing and get energized without external distractions ! Limited network depending on your carrier, which was exactly what we were looking for! A bit chilly in mid October - as advertised - but Pam made everything to make sure we were comfortable ! I am pretty sure I will come back! Lots to do in terms of hiking, and activities in the cities nearby

This is our 3rd stay with Anne&Frank and we are booked again in October. That in itself says a lot. Their place is always pristine and they are very responsive should the need arise. The surroundings are great for just relaxing and enjoying life and venturing out in the surrounding small towns. It is our favorite place to stay in that area and we highly recommend it.

Very nice clean place. Well worth the money. Is bigger than it looks in pictures. Enjoyed our stay.

Lisa was an amazing host! The cabin is very well kept and has everything you could need. Beautiful mountain view too! I went for a week of hiking and Lisa’s son left me a whole page length note telling me about great hiking trails around the area and accurate details on how to get there. Great recommendations too! Will definitely stay here again if I return to this area.

Catharine did a fantastic job setting us up with a wonderful home right on Seneca lake. She was verry attentive, and did her best to meet the requests or queries we had. Magnolia is a beautiful property and I would love to go back again. Very close to some local wineries which we indulged ourselves in, the town of Geneva is pretty cool too with some good restaraunts and friendly people. I loved this trip, it was just what we all needed before we start a busy summer season. Thanks again Catharine!

We were only in town for one night, but had an absolutely phenomenal stay. The basement apartment was clean and comfortable, and you could tell that Rebecca has a true passion for hospitality. From board games to a small library of books, the space was so well stocked. We enjoyed lounging in the room, almost as much as getting out and exploring Syracuse! Check-in was smooth and the house rules were straightforward and logical. Thanks for the 5 star stay. Bookmarked for future trips :)

Everything was as described. Beautiful home and location. Very serene and comfortable. Highly recommend. We will definately book again !

The house was extremely nice, well appointed and beautifully decorated. Great space for two couples with the two king beds and two full bathrooms. Very clean and comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with glasses, dishes, and cooking equipment. Great location being just a mile from the center of town for shopping and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

This was a terrific stay. The hosts communication from beginning to end was as good as can be expected. The home was cozy and well appointed. The property was beautiful and peaceful. 5 stars, will recommend and return again. Thank you!

Here are a few things we loved about Richard and Susan’s apartment. • A private porch overlooking a beautiful yard. • Well stocked kitchen (including bread, milk/juice, butter and eggs. • Comfortable beds. • Very spacious. • Clean • Peaceful • Easy drive to the town of Medina.

Carol’s place was beautiful! The pool was a nice bonus and it wasn’t too far from the falls! Carol was seriously, hands downs thee coolest airbnb host I’ve encountered yet!!! She was so funny and engaged when I had questions on how far things were or her recommendations on things to do nearby! I will def be back, if not to stay in her beautiful airbnb it will be to hang out with her!!! Thanks sooo much Carol! My sister and I had a blast and you made it 1000x funner!

We had a wonderful stay. The kids loved the goats & chickens, and we loved spending time on the porch. One of the beds was pretty creepy/lumpy, but the house was clean & spacious and we had a great time.

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

Magnificent homestead built in 1855. Beautiful grounds. Loved the animals in the barn. Lovely tennis court and swimming pool. Comfy beds! Martha was totally responsive and helpful. Peaceful and relaxing stay!😊

Our extended family of 8 stayed here for Colgate's 2025 graduation weekend. The location was definitely further away than I wanted (not the host's fault of course) but it ended up working out great. Door to door it's a 35 minute drive, so while we weren't able to go 'back and forth' as much as if we were staying closer, it was a great place to wake up in and return 'home' to at the end of the day's events. There was plenty of room for two sets of grandparents, two siblings and the grad's parents. We loved making coffee and breakfast in the morning and enjoying the absolutely glorious view from the house, plus the kitchen table was a fun end of day gathering spot for us all. Shawn was communicative and accommodating, especially when one pair of guests were way ahead of arrival time, allowing them to enter the property early. I had not been aware of DeRuyter or the lake prior to this, but am glad we had the opportunity to enjoy this home and the area!

Spending time in the Rochester New York? Consider this property as your place to stay. This house was wonderfully comfortable, all the items worked, and it was excellent for my whole family. We loved the pool, hot tub, the game room, deck........ bed rooms...... I am rating this property as one of the top Air BnB experiences I have rented.
