Family-friendly holiday rentals in Rensselaer

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.

Absolutely amazing place and experience. Everything about the place was great and the communication and service was the best. We received 5 inches of snow on our last night and they even had the driveway all plowed for us first thing in the morning. That was a very pleasant surprise. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic space for a large group. We had 10 people for a New Year’s Eve ski weekend, and this was the ideal spot for it. Hot tub was a great treat. Be warned - the floors are squeaky, so if you’re a light sleeper in a large group bring ear plugs.

Great place that was clean, comfortable and cozy. There were excellent instructions for everything and my family loved the hot tub!

The Barnhouse was very beautiful and cozy! Comfortably sleeps 8 with enough bathrooms for all to share. We especially loved all the plants and how easy it was to entertain a group of 8. The only qualms we had were the shower in the master bedroom and that there were quite a few lights out around the house which was especially challenging in the kitchen.

The place was amazing and featured everything we were looking for. Tammy and Ed were super hosts and made the stay extremely enjoyable. We would stay here again.

This is an incredible home. We had a really special weekend here. The house itself is beautiful - it’s decorated so well, and it’s really spacious, so comfortable for a big group. The outdoor space is lovely too - there’s ample space to relax outside and take in the gorgeous scenery :) can’t recommend enough!

We were in Lenox to attend a reunion for the Lenox School for Boys ( Grad “66” ). The cabin was perfect for our needs especially because we could have our dog with us. Most of our time was spent with activities scheduled for the reunion so we didn’t really get to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere surrounding the cabin. There will be another reunion in 2026 so we will be looking forward to another stay at the Luv Shack. Thanks for sharing your abode. Pete & Becky Davis Mechanicsburg PA

Nick's home is charming and exactly what our family was looking for. Great location too!

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!

Nancy was a great host! House was great and close to everything.

This air bnb was great. Beds were very small but the space was great, very clean and perfect for a dog! The backyard was not that maintained and the fence seemed to be open so we were unable to let our dog off the leash. Other than that, highly recommend. Location is 10/10.

Our family loved our stay at this house. It is a peaceful and serene setting in a beautiful wooded area. The host was very accommodating on short notice. The house has a very nice and inviting interior, it feels very homey and comfortable. There are many nice places for a hike and the view at the top of the hill on the property is quite scenic, we could see the Catskills to the south. There are all the modern amenities, and the (decorative) antique wood burning stove in the kitchen was a neat touch. I would definitely recommend this place!

When I first pulled up to Kliment's, I literally teared up - that's how breath-taking his spot is. It was just what the doctor ordered... if doctors actually treated your mind, body, and soul and not just your body :) Seriously though, Kliment's place was an oasis for me: private, quiet, peaceful, with amazing views of the Catskill mountains. His home itself was beautifully decorated, simple yet super cozy, and had everything I needed and then some. (And the chickens were lovely company as well!) Kliment is one of the best Airbnb hosts I have ever had, hands down. With a very hectic schedule, Kliment was flexible, responsive, kind and patient with accommodating my many change requests and needs throughout my stay. Kliment is not just a wonderful host, but also a truly wonderful person - the world needs more people like him. In short: I can't recommend Kliment's home or him as a host enough! If you are hovering over the "Reserve Now" button, book it!!! You won't regret it! :)

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home on Saratoga Lake! The house was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. One of the highlights was definitely the dock—it made fishing right from the property incredibly easy and fun. Vicki and John were wonderful hosts—super responsive and available for any questions we had throughout our stay. Their hospitality really made us feel at home. We’re already looking forward to coming back and making more great memories. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful lakefront escape in the Saratoga area.

I booked Devra's place on behalf of my parents. Devra was so accommodating to them! They thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Devra's place is within walking distance of many shops and restaurants.

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!!

Really just a great weekend! The house was spacious and perfectly accommodated our family. Also perfect distance from town where there is tons to do. Julie was available for questions and was so easy to communicate with. We were in the area to celebrate our son’s college graduation and really could not have selected a more perfect spot!

We had a wonderful stay at this Lake Pontoosuc property! The house was spacious, spotless, and beautifully maintained, with amazing lake views from the deck. We truly enjoyed the wide range of activities available: kayaking on the lake, playing cornhole, relaxing by the swimming pool, and ending the evenings around the bonfire by the water under a sky full of stars. Inside, the kitchen was fully equipped for home-cooked meals, and the cozy living room made for perfect family gatherings. The bedrooms were comfortable and roomy, and the entire property, including the lovely garden, felt incredibly welcoming and well cared for. The only minor issue was the WiFi, which was a bit spotty—worth noting if you’re planning to work remotely. But it also helped us unplug and enjoy the experience. We highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a peaceful yet fun-filled lakeside escape. Jay and Stephanie were very helpful and accommodating. We’d absolutely love to come back!

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

The house was beautiful and Rhonda was great, she was very responsive and helpful. We felt right at home and enjoyed the place more than Lake George :) , the hot tub and pool were great and i would recommend anyone coming to this area to definitely book the place if they get the chance.

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.”
