Family-friendly vacation rentals in Great Barrington

Three adults and a toddler spent four great days at Myrhah’s house in Craryville. I have very little to add to all the other enthusiastically positive reviews. They are totally accurate.I will note that one of us is a pastry chef who was at home in Myrhah’s kitchen. It’s stocked with quite a few good baking tools. Another member of our group is a 19-month old toddler who loved the toys and big airy spaces for play. We all enjoyed the home’s aesthetic and appreciated Myrhah’s responsiveness and warmth. I wished we could have stayed longer.

Ami’s place was great! Stayed for my birthday and was surprised with a delicious tres leche cake upon my arrival! The view was incredible, amenities were amazing, overall it was everything I hoped for and more. Thanks Ami!

What a gorgeous stay. My partner and I celebrated our five year anniversary here and each detail was perfect. The home is wonderfully curated, with stunning art, decor, puzzles, plates, you name it! And by the window, the feeders attract all kinds of birds that I’ve never seen so up close. Woodpeckers, cardinals, chickadees. You hardly need the TV, it’s so entertaining. The place is spotless and serene. And Rosy is so responsive while giving you complete privacy! You can tell she really cares about the experience she provides. If you’re looking to stay in an artfully cozy home, this is the place.

We had a great and easy stay for a quick upstate weekend! The house was clean, cute, and accommodated our family of 7. We unfortunately didn’t get to utilize the outdoors because of the weather. Would definitely recommend this house!

We had a nice time staying. It has a Well stocked kitchen. It is near to grocery and shopping in Stone Ridge. It has Great fireflies at night and a good view of the sunset.

Choosing to stay in Porter's container cabin was the best decision we could have made for our vacation. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We had daily visits from a beautiful deer, and countless butterflies. We chose to use this time to unplug, and really connect with each other, and we could not have chosen a better place to spend our time. We've missed the view from the front door every day since we've left, and we're already planning to come back next year. Thank you so much for having us.

We really enjoyed staying here, only wish we booked it for longer! Our son and our dog enjoyed going for walks on the trails behind the brewery. The beers and pizza from the brewery were excellent, the house is really charming and relaxing. Also got out to enjoy the disc golf course which was a fun way to spend the afternoon. I would love to come back and try out the mountain bike trails. The surrounding area was fun to explore, really can't think of any negative points to this place!

We loved staying at Anat’s gorgeous home. We’ve been in many spots in the HRV and even Columbia County, but this stood out for being so tranquil and for having such lovely grounds. We enjoyed the Copake Hillsdale Farmers Market and a great meals at Local 111 and Zinneas. Cooking at the house was a breeze and there were more than enough beds and living spaces for our two families to feel so comfortable. Hot tub was lovely! We can’t wait to return.

We were very comfortable at King’s Cottage. We had everything we needed. It was so quiet, private, comfortable and well appointed. Messages from the host were friendly and helpful. Great stay in a beautiful spot!

The only thing better than the loft was Laura Ann herself. I came upstate to go on a little solo retreat to make some art and be alone in a peaceful place. This Airbnb was the perfect place for it! From the serene cemetery to the highly eclectic paintings and sculptures in the loft, I couldn’t have been more happy with my stay. Lots of restaurants and shops around that are about a ~15 min walk from the Airbnb, very accessible. Laura Ann is so extremely friendly and helpful, she really made me feel right at home. Probably the best Airbnb experience ive ever had. I will definitely be coming back!! Thank you Laura Ann!

The guesthouse was so dreamy! We had a wonderful stay, the hosts were super friendly, and we loved meeting their sweet dogs. The house was close to great restaurants and shops in Hudson, Kinderhook, and Ghent, as well as hiking trails. The lovely trail on the property was a great bonus, one we took advantage of 4 times throughout the weekend :). Would definitely visit again!

A lovely house in a private location. Our kids loved the games, watching movies on the projector, and watching deer from the window. The kitchen was well equipped and everything was comfortable.

Staying at Will and Aenne's barn house was fun and wholesome. I enjoyed saying hello to the animals and the jungle shower most of all. The barn has everything one needs. Though, I must say I was very intimidated by having to light the chef's stove. We walked from the barn to the waterfall down town which was beautiful--great place to hang out and swim in the warmer months. The village of Kinderhook is adorable with quaint little shops. Hudson city had some of the best food I've had in a long time; I strongly recommend eating at Cafe Mutton. Overall, Will and Aenne were very hands-off hosts--as in, they gave us our space and privacy--while still being responsive and attentive. Thank you for the stay! I hope to come back again!

Our party of four adults and two small kids really enjoyed our weekend in this unique and tastefully renovated former barn. The linens, bedding, and towels were all top quality, the kitchen was well equipped, and overall the place was comfortable and spotless. The location is super private and quiet, surrounded by nature and farmland, including an on-site stream and sheep (that's not a typo). A great spot to stay for a visit to the northern Berkshires - Mt. Greylock and Mass MoCA are very nearby. Our visit was on a frigid winter weekend with a ton of snow and outside temps in the 20s, yet our indoor temps were toasty and very comfortable, especially with the wood stove.

Spacious and comfortable one bedroom + studio, lots of natural light, serene atmosphere, we had a great stay and would be love to visit again

We spent the weekend in the area and Tim’s place was fantastic. It’s loaded with charm, comfortable and very well appointed and stocked (right down to treats for the dog). The location is beautiful and the views are amazing. Can’t wait to return!

We had a magical weekend away and our stay was everything we hoped it would be, and more. Olia was incredibly responsive, friendly, and all around wonderful to connect with. The house was a magical time capsule holding the best of energy and a glimpse into the 70s - so fun. The pool and patio were awesome, with open and friendly spaces inside too, all made for the best of entertaining spaces. We could not have asked for a better weekend away, and we cannot wait to plan our next trip! Thank you!

This is our fifth year coming to the farm. Larissa is absolutely masterful with kids of all ages (even tough kids). My daughter races out at 9 am to do farm chores and begs for more (and this is a kid who drags her feet doing chores at home)!! We love the rhythm of farm and find it really easy to disconnect and unwind. After chores in the morning, you're welcome to spend as much time as you want with the animals, which is a real treat. Whether it's feeding the horses hay, sharing food scraps with the goats, or watching the chickens do their evening routine, there's so much to enjoy. The local towns are lovely, but if you like the farm experience, you may never leave the property. Larissa is incredibly knowledgeable and generous in sharing her experience and expertise. She has created an absolutely magical environment, and I would highly recommend visiting!!

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!

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

Our second time staying at Maitopia with our cat, just as wonderful in a different warmer season. Tina was super responsive as usual and even accommodated a late checkout. We enjoyed feasting in the kitchen as well as grilling in the yard, floating around in the pool when it was warm enough out, "hiking" with our cat on a leash around the forest on the property, taking baths, streaming music. We didn't leave the property much, but it was a fun highlight to get a few local produce items at nearby Greig farm and meet the adorable goats. One tip- bring an eyemask if you're sensitive to light in the mornings- there aren't any window shades in the bedroom.

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.***

Three friends met at this beautiful carriage house with the feel of a French chalet! We stayed two nights with varied weather conditions. The house, grounds and location was perfect. Hot tub was used and so relaxing. The surroundings were beautiful and peaceful. The host, Diane was very helpful and friendly. What host makes scones each morning and delivers them warm?! Visited the Ashokan Reservoir trail, Opus 40, and Woodstock. Recommend this home highly. You won’t be disappointed!

We had a great stay at the Hollywood Bungalow. House was described accurately and had so many thoughtful touches to make us feel welcome. Diana met us upon arrival and walked us around the property and the house. Such a great host! She had generously provided snacks, treats and gave a thorough overview for our stay. We were primarily focused on skiing at Jiminy Peak which was a short 20 minute drive. We also brought our 5 year-old rescue who had the best vacation of her life. She was able to use the fenced-in backyard to run around off leash and even meet a new friend when Jackson's dog visited. Diana even shoveled walking paths in the yard throughout our stay so we could get around in the high snow. The Screening Room is awesome and provided hours of entertainment. Quiet street and picturesque location. We will definitely return.
