Family-friendly vacation rentals in New Paltz

We were absolutely charmed by this stunning house, surrounded by breathtaking nature and offering incredible views—especially over the lake. Every corner is filled with character and warmth, making it feel like a true hidden gem. A huge thank-you to our wonderful host Sandy, who was incredibly thoughtful and proactive throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll be back without a doubt!

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!

Loved this little studio! If you’re doing anything at Mohonk preserve (we did Rock the Ridge), it’s minutes away from Testimonial Gateway and Ulster County Fairground. New Paltz is just down the road with stores, cafes, and more. The apartment is cozy but functional and the kitchen is setup well. Perfect for 2 people, couple or friends. Bonus — I rented an EV and was stressing about getting it charged but Franky offered to let me charge it overnight, which was a life saver!

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

We had such a great stay at Eugene’s place! The house was perfect for our group — spacious, comfortable, and full of fun things to do. We especially loved the private theatre, the hot tub, and especially the sauna — such a great touch! The volleyball net was a hit, and there were tons of games in the closet that kept us entertained. The kitchen was well-stocked and roomy enough for us to cook meals for our large group, and there were plenty of different areas to hang out in, everyone could find their own space to relax. The towels were plentiful (huge plus) and having access to the washer and dryer came in handy during our stay. Eugene was a fantastic host — super friendly, very responsive, and just really helpful all around. We also got to enjoy a few deer sightings right in the yard, which felt magical. We visited the nearby alpaca farm and did the Beer Mountain hike, which was a nice outing. All in all, a wonderful stay. Would absolutely come back. Thank you Eugene!

We had a wonderful time at Tina’s place! Surrounded by woods, but somewhat close to the downtown area (super cute too!), the cabin had all we needed, and is also very cozy, neat, comfortable. Excellent bed and pillows, perfectly AC’d, with a fully stocked kitchen. We are happy, and our pups were THRILLED! Huge thanks to the host.

We had an amazing stay at the cottage! It's modern and thoughtfully designed, but still feels cozy and inviting. It’s tucked away in a peaceful spot surrounded by trees, yet only a 3-minute drive from town. You feel totally removed and relaxed, but everything you need is right nearby. I worked remotely for part of the trip, and the setup was perfect. There’s a dedicated desk with a view of the mountains, and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. Natural light poured into the cottage through the skylights. It was spotless and comfortable. The bed and linens were top notch, water pressure was great and hot—little details that make a difference. The pool was a highlight. It’s heated, with plenty of loungers and umbrellas, and it felt totally private and calm. We ended up spending an entire day out there just soaking it in. The hosts were lovely. They were helpful when we needed them, but also gave us complete privacy. We’d absolutely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone!

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.***

We had a wonderful time at this place for our mini moon. It was relaxing, beautifully decorated, well stocked with everything you need! The hosts were very responsive. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! For anyone coming from NYC we stoped at Pho Tibet in New Paltz for lunch on the way home and the food was amazing!

Great Airbnb, I would highly recommend. I appreciate the flexibility on the check in and check out times. The kitchen was very well stocked as well.

My fiancé and I stayed at Lambs hill to celebrate our anniversary. We had the most wonderful time. The views are breathtaking. The wrap around deck with jacuzzi and hammock made our stay calming and serene. I loved seeing the horses and donkeys throughout the day. They made the experience even more special and unique. Charlotte was super responsive and accommodating. We took cabs to Main Street at night for dinner and drinks and it was so close and convenient. I left my heart in lambs hill and can’t wait to return one day.

Great home right on the neversink river! Really enjoyed our stay Father’s Day weekend and appreciated the clear instructions and how clean the hot tub was! Appreciate it!

Linda is such a great host! She is SUPER organized from the very beginning giving us clear instructions about the check in, the rules at the house, leaving printed version of all of that in different sides of the house, and even to the way she organized and provided everything we ever needed at that house. And the house itself is soooo gorgeous and peaceful I felt right at home. The only flaw is that it has bad reception in the area since it is surrounded by woods. But Linda provided us with strong wifi in the house, so I guess that settled it.

It is clear Adam and Chrissy take care of this place like their own home. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful this place is. Perfectly equipped, yet doesn’t feel cluttered. Cozy, tasteful, full of wonderful little details, clear instructions and good vibes overall. Location is amazing and perfect for days of reflection / retreat in the mountains. Has all you need in the kitchen, plenty of books, board games, movies, records, even Atari and an AMAZING outdoor spa. Best of all is the water stream running below: natural forest + running water sounds - not even headspace can give you this to perfection. Outdoor seating area also lovely. I felt at home from beginning to end. Hosts incredibly responsive and helpful. Can’t wait to return !

Jonathan’s place was fantastic! Location felt like a secluded oasis, but was only 5 mins to town. Everything was clean, hot tub and sauna included. Our pups greatly appreciated running around in the fenced in yard. Jonathan was quick to respond the one time we messaged. Would absolutely stay there again!

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

An incredibly charming, rustic, simple and comfortable small cottage, in a gorgeous rural setting. Just as advertised. It was perfect. Right across the road is Tivoli Bays, with beautiful trails for walking and hiking, and a small waterfall too. If you like, it's just a short walk to Broadway, the main strip in the village of Tivoli. You'll find a few restaurant options, a small market, sandwich shop, excellent coffee, and homemade ice cream. I met Yuko who couldn't be nicer and was a pleasure to chat with. A great experience all around - highly recommend booking a stay!

Would absolutely stay again! Really loved the way they've updated the space but kept the classic touches of the house. Huge well appointed kitchen with everything you could need. Peaceful outdoor space with lots of privacy. And overall a very spacious house that feels like you could have a big group without getting in each others way. Ryan & Lauren were super on it. Will definitely recommend to friends.

We had the best long weekend, the house is immaculately clean and so peaceful. Enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch looking out at the water. Wish we could have stayed longer! The area is beautiful, lots to do. Would definitely go back for another stay!

Jane’s home is beautiful, quiet, and so relaxing. The area itself is wonderful and quaint and the home has everything you need and more. We sat out each morning on the front deck for coffee and each evening for a glass of wine, and ate dinner on the screened-in porch. Despite the temperatures reaching 90 degrees outside, the home remained very comfortable even without A/C. There were plenty of fans and the evenings were pleasantly cool. Jane is very friendly and helpful—stopped by on our first day to give us some wonderful local recommendations (our kids loved visiting a nearby apple orchard / restaurant). Honestly, you can’t ask for a better host. We already miss the place and would definitely return!

We loved the place, it was a beautiful home with lots of light and accessible green space. It was perfect for a short getaway. It’s a short drive from nearby towns and was very easy to find based on the directions. Mark was a responsive and accommodating host and we had a wonderful time in his airbnb.

Peaceful and private cottage in the woods. Perfect for relaxing and enjoying the quiet. We saw deer and a bear. Screened in porch a plus for listening to the sounds of the stream as you take in the night air.

This place is truly a gem! We enjoyed swimming in the waterfalls and relaxing under the trees. We can’t wait to return. The house is also lovely with lots of interesting and quirky touches that we enjoyed. Incredibly well stocked kitchen and everything we could want!

Great place to stay in a really cute neighborhood with lots to do within walking distance.
