Family-friendly holiday rentals in East Durham

My family of 4 had a wonderful time! Host was responsive and helpful. We enjoyed this awesome home and would definitely recommend. Kitchen was well stocked and we found the home warm and inviting. The layout is very cool and my girls loved their “castle” bedroom :) thanks so much for hosting!

Great place! We had a weekend of hiking planned, but with all the rain, we were glad to have use of all the inside amenities here! Sauna, bbq hut, she-shed, basement game room and comfy living room all left us fully entertained while it poured outside. Would love to come back someday!

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!!

The view was absolutely stunning and the environment was so peacefully quiet. The home is beautifully constructed and decorated with all the necessities and amenities. There’s plenty of space for the pups to run around safely, and the hot tub was amazing, especially with that view! William & Liz were excellent communicators and made the whole process incredibly simple. We’ll definitely be back!

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

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.

Location and space worked out perfectly for our little surprise birthday party. Clean, comfortable, spacious. Charming old farmhouse.

Dror’s place was the ideal getaway. It was just the right size for one or two people. It was clean, cozy, and had all the right amenities, including coffee makers, coffee, and even a frother! Unfortunately, it rained all weekend, so I couldn’t enjoy the hot tub. But the space in the backyard was very peaceful and inviting. I left you a drawing, Dror, and wanted you to know that I haven’t drawn in many years because of a busy life. Your home brought that out in me. Thanks again!

We had an amazing stay at the Georgie cottage! Andrew provided lots of great recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area and the cottage was cute and peaceful. The kitchen was well stocked and the cottage was well-insulated and surprisingly cozy at night! We would love to stay here again

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

This is the place to go if you want to be immersed in nature. You are definitely in the woods and surrounded by lush green. There is a pond glistening in your view from the back screened in porch. A lovely spot to have a curl up with a good book.!

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.

My boyfriend and our 2 pups enjoyed our time here! The place was mostly stocked with what we needed (no lighter for fire pit or coffee filters that we could find (but it rained and k-cups were provided), which neither are a big deal, but things we didn’t think to pack - so pack those if you’d need them!), it was clean, and we enjoyed the location for hiking / fishing and good food! We’d stay here again!

What a great place for weekend of relaxation. Although it rained most of the weekend, we made great use of the house and backyard. My kids loved the creek! The grocery store and restaurants are a short drive away as well.

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lena’s place. Very quiet, very serene— but close enough to downtown Hudson for when I wanted a night out. The dogs absolutely loved our walks up the long scenic (and completely private) driveway. The cat adored birdwatching from the sliding doors. We will definitely be coming back!

A super stylish, immaculate and serene cottage with spectacular mountain views. This absolute gem is perfect for relaxing, decompressing and exploring the Catskills. The beds and bedding are super comfortable, kitchen is well stocked, and the sight line to mountains is a visual feast. The windows are plentiful for gentle, fresh breezes wafting throughout the home yet A/C and heat work well when needed. We built a fire and star gazed surrounded by a field of fireflies. The hum of bees in the morning sun while having coffee on the deck is a delight. There’s a thorough and helpful guide/manual and the hosts are extremely responsive. Be sure to spin some records - we found the Donna Summer Greatest Hits double album - plenty of room for dancing around. Will most certainly be back!

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!!

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!

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.

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 👍🏼
