Top Floor 2BR - Just Renovated!
Had a great stay at Grahams place! Pros: Walkable to Main Street Easy Parking Clear instruction from Graham Booked the hot tub and enjoyed it in the evening and the following morning Cons: If you’re someone who needs a cold space to sleep, be aware that there is no direct a/c in the bedrooms, we left the bedroom door open and still woke up hot Shower/bathroom were a tight squeeze for 5’11” husband

Beth's Place II Potsdam-Pickleball, River & HotTub
I had a wonderful stay at Beth’s place! The space was clean, cozy, and had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. It felt like a true home away from home. Beth was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and thoughtful with all the little touches that made the stay even more enjoyable. The location was peaceful and conveniently located. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Private Floor on Cayuga Lake Shore
Beautiful location right on Cayuga Lake. Peaceful, quiet, and very comfortable. The hosts were very responsive and provided a lot of information on the local area. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Hudson River Beach House
Our time away at Janet's for our anniversary, fun and R&R was just perfect. The Catskill Mountains are just beautiful and emerald green. We enjoyed local events, restaurants as well as traveling to other towns and areas for outdoors enjoyment, meals and a bit of shopping. Lots of diversity of choices abound. We most definitely would like to return and explore even more of the area. The location of Janet's airbnb was a great homebase to traveling around and exploring each day:)

Hudson River Peaceful Getaway, Explore from here
Dan's place was lovely. Lots of light, beautiful views of the Hudson River and dog friendly. Dan himself was responsive, flexible and helpful. I don't think I'll stay anywhere else when visiting family.

Captain's Quarters at Mickey's Marina
We had a great say. Beautiful area. Tremendous lake which we enjoyed by kayak. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Nice sitting area outside and another on the front porch. We were here early June and so the eatery next store and another up the road were not open for the season quite yet. Great communication.

Cozy 1 bedroom apartment in the Rondout Kingston
Rudi is very responsive and helpful. Nice place to stay for a quiet getaway.

Special Nest w Private Entrance River View Porches
Our stay here in Newburgh was lovely! This place was well-stocked, very very clean, fabulously eclectic, and spectacularly spacious! We loved having two restrooms and being so close to the river and to Hudson Taco!! As the Host mentions, do carefully consider how much you care about “neighbor noise.” While I brought slippers to kindly observe the “no shoes in the house” rule, the tenants above us rudely did not. We couldn’t hear voices, but the heavy footsteps kept us awake until 1 o’clock in the morning on a weeknight and woke us up at 6:30 AM on Saturday morning. The dog scampering around or crying and whining loudly every time it was left alone in the house was also hard to bear despite our bringing ear plugs. We would 100% stay again if Sarah would kindly have us. We’re sure to have more considerate neighbors next time. Thank you for creating such a lovely space at an affordable rate.

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!

The property was peaceful and beautiful and the view was stunning. Thank you so much Laura and Scott for making this time with family exceptionally easy and beautiful! now everybody wants to buy a house in Greenwood Lake!

The Harbor House: Beachfront Home 1 hour from NYC
Beautiful layout and views: The living room extends to an expansive harbor view as we opened the door. When we turn around the lofty A frame transitions into the bedroom connected by a wooden spiral stair. Interior appliances are good and functional. Plenty of Pillows and blankets to get cozy. The Weber Grill is great to use. We used public transport and Uber and it was pretty easy to get around - 15 mins to nearby scenes and restaurants.

Beautiful Farm Cottage & Majestic Waterfall
Beautiful space. Amazing countryside vibes. Fun hike down to the waterfall, great kitchen for cooking and a fun night in. There was lots of quaint stuff to do in nearby Middleburgh: thrifting, diners, 50s milkshake bar, antique book stores, hikes, breweries, and more. We loved that there was so many towels for the sauna and swimming. One note: give yourself a lot of time for the sauna to heat up. Instructions were clear and they gave us lots of local recs. Also LOVED the hammocks -- lots of cozy nooks to hang for a chill girls weekend. We might be back again! A great stay.

Stunning Pvte Lakehouse•Swim•Hike•Mntn Views•F/pit
Excellent location with private pond. This home was truly built for a family gathering. Wonderful entertaining spaces, large fireplace with an expansive kitchen to cook in. There is a large game room with board games to suite all ages, billiards, croquet, and a small row boat for fun.

Bluff House
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!

Mountains Views & Private Stream
I've been to many Airbnbs This was one of the best ones. the sound of the creek in the back. the stars in the night, plus the telescope and binoculars Even the house, everything felt thoughtfully organized. Already wish to go back.

Adirondack Studio Retreat–Cozy Lake Placid Escape!

Lakefront Retreat, Hot Tub, 5 mins to Whiteface
Our friend group was looking for a place to stay close to the whiteface mountain and we got super lucky to find Jo’s house! Beautiful house, stylish & super cozy - we felt like at home right away! All this in addition to beautiful surroundings made our trip an unforgettable experience! Each bedroom had a private bathroom and a common bathroom on the first floor which was amazing for a group of 6 people. Showers deserve an additional mention - it was definitely a calming and relaxing experience! Jo is an amazing host. Communication was great, we were given a lot of recommendations about local “must-visit” places. The host is super responsive, kind and understanding! Overall, it was an unforgettable experience at Jo’s place and hopefully we can go there again in the future! we highly recommend it!!
