Family-friendly holiday rentals in Stanford

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.

Loved this house! We have stayed in many places all over the world for both business and pleasure. This was a business trip. House was great, location was great. It was cold and rainy so we didn’t get to enjoy the porch, deck or hot tub . Even without these amenities we totally enjoyed the house. Hoping to stay again next time we are in the area. We are in Rhinebeck twice a year for the antiques show in the Fairgrounds . Instructions on house were easy to understand and concise. Great job guys!

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.

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!

Just what we needed for a relaxing weekend. Place was clean and comfortable. Situated in the woods- scenic, quiet and relaxing with the sound of the creek down below. Rainy weekend but it was dreamy looking out the large floor to ceiling windows. Highly recommend this place if youre looking for a quiet getaway. Rhinebeck Village and Red Hook shops are within 20-30 min drive.

The house is spacious and elegant. The wooded lot has a pretty creek a little way from the house. We took some walks through the snowy woods and roads beyond the house and could have kept going for a long time - the mountain is peaceful and beautiful. The owners live a few doors down and came by to help set us up before a major snow storm. We had a really nice time.

The Little Minka was everything that Daniel said it would be. A beautiful, peaceful, quiet, cozy home with an amazing minimalist aesthetic. Definitely a great place for a weekend getaway if you’re looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Would recommend and look forward to booking again!

The best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at! It truly felt like home—every detail was so thoughtfully taken care of. You have everything you need for a comfortable stay, from a well-stocked space to those little touches that make a big difference. The bed and pillows were super comfortable, and even though it rained, the hosts had dry firewood ready for the fireplace, which made it feel extra warm and inviting. We loved sitting by the lake and even saw a fish jump out of the water—such a magical moment! Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish. And thank you so much for approving our cats to stay with us—it meant the world. If we could give 10 stars, we absolutely would. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and welcoming getaway. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

My wife and I had a great time. Amazing house right outside of town. Huge yard which our dog loved! Hopefully we will be back.

Tim! Our stay was Beyond my expectations! Many many thanks, appreciation and affection. Be well~ Jen, Lucia and Jack

Laurence and Ilze were incredible hosts, incredibly helpful and responsive, going above and beyond to sort out our needs. The house was as advertised and we had a a great time at their place. Should we be back in the area we’d definitely try to stay with them again!

This was so charming & cozy, while also being conveniently close to nature nails & downtown Woodstock. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would recommend!

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.

Such a clean, charming home. We felt welcomed at every turn, from initial contact to arriving to departing. We loved the little thoughtful touches, such as providing an extension cord for the hair dryer (some older homes don’t have a plug right next to the sink). All in all a lovely stay.

We had an amazing time! Danielle and Ely were very accommodating and went out of their way to make our stay special. They answered all our questions, helped us book a table at Matilda, and even surprised us with complimentary wine. It was so thoughtful!

My girlfriend and I had a great stay here. The place was cozy, well-equipped, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The outdoor area was the true highlight — from the spacious patio to the beautifully maintained landscaping, the property felt peaceful and private. There’s also a pool that looked amazing, even though we couldn’t enjoy it due to the weather. We had some trouble during check-in after a delayed flight and arrived around midnight, but the property owners were just a phone call away and quickly helped us get settled, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience and we’d absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quiet, scenic place to unwind.

This beautiful property has a special place in our hearts. We stayed in the A frame during COVID and we always wanted to come back. This time we stayed in the main house and it was phenomenal. Wish the weather was better for us to use the pool, but next time! It well worth the price. Only an hr from the city and it feels like a full vacation. Wonderful way to lose time time for a few days. We will be back!

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

We had a great time at Saugerties! Rebecca's house was wonderful. The heated pool and the trampoline were the kids' favorite and they kept them entertained all day. The adults enjoyed the shade under the comfy pool lounge chairs & the spacious deck furniture. The backyard of the house was well kept and equipped so we spent a lot of time outside. The house is very well equipped and it was spacious for 2 families of 4. Everything was functioning well. The house is close to downtown and there are plenty of things to do nearby. Host was super quick to respond back and to help with whatever we needed right away. We def recommend Rebecca's house.

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 really enjoyed our time at Elizabeth Jane's place. The home is spacious and quaint, with nice furnishings, a tasteful colonial feel and easy access to downtown Litchfield and the Berkshires. The bucolic setting is lovely - scenic, relaxing and peaceful.

We loved this cute studio cabin at the end of a quiet lane in the woods. The host was accommodating and left a welcome basket with tea & muffins for our arrival. The whole unit was clean and well maintained with basic equipment for cooking. We enjoyed sitting on the veranda watching the wildlife. Convenient location for Woodstock for coffee and food, & Ashokan reservoir for walking and cycling. There were a few potholes on the access road to the property which deer use to drink from (☺️). We loved that the cabin was bug free and did not have any trace of bug spray! (We get very bad reactions to that stuff). Thank you for hosting & being respive. Recommend for a weekend 👍🏼

We had a beautiful stay in Kerhonkson for a relaxing bachelorette weekend! Lillian’s place is absolutely beautiful and was so comfortable for my friends and I. Everything was as described, extremely clean, plenty of linens and had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook a few meals. We enjoyed sitting by the pool when it was sunny. Lillian was very communicative and flexible with check in time. Thank you!
