Vacation rentals with a kayak in New York

Great view of the river, passing ships, and fantastic sunsets… which is what we were looking for in our few days up on the River. place was nice and cozy. wish we had more time to relax and enjoy. I’d return here again!

Jacqualine’s place feels more like you’re staying at a friend’s HOME. Great quality furniture, linens, towels, kitchen essentials, etc. — not just a rental filled with inexpensive furniture and supplies. Beautiful wide windows in the living space that look out at the river. Sturdy dock that was perfect for our kids to swim off of. Private parking with space to turn around so you’re not backing out onto a busy street. Plenty of spots to view amazing sunsets. The list of positives could go on…. Located in a quiet village with a pub, small market, coffee shop and a few boutiques, it’s a great location to set up home base if you want to be within easy driving distance (+/- 25min) of more touristy towns like Clayton and Alexandria Bay but still have some peace and quiet on the river.

Beautiful location on the lake. We enjoyed using the kayak, deck, grill, kitchen, and pool table. Excellent communication from Scott. Plenty of room for the whole family. Thank you!

This place truly felt like a home away from home—beautiful, peaceful, and even better than the photos! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed—and more. The host was very kind and responsive. He let us use the firewood he had stocked, provided two BBQ grills, and had lots of board games perfect for kids. The house is fully carpeted, so using the front door with shoes can get messy. We used the back door through the garage so our shoes could stay inside. You can tell the host is very clean and takes pride in the home. There are also two canoes (we didn’t use due to weather). Thousand Islands Boat Tour is just 37 minutes away—perfect for a day trip. Would definitely stay again!

Loved our girls’ getaway on the North Fork! Mae’s house is the perfect spot with a quick walk to the beach and gorgeous views right from her backyard - even close drives to beautiful Southold, Mattituck, and Greenport. I will absolutely stay again!

From start to finish Zoe was very responsive and accommodating. The bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean and neat. The bedding was very comfortable. We cooked a dinner and a breakfast and the kitchen was stocked well enough to make both these meals easy.

Carolyn’s home is a great oasis in a beautiful and centrally located part of the Fingerlakes. It is very close to Ithaca as well as the areas wineries in the other direction. In this specific location, you have very easy access to activities and many excellent dining options, while being able to enjoy serene vistas and having your own private access to the water right from her home on the water. We have stayed in other areas of the Fingerlakes and feel Carolyn’s location really is our favourite. The home is well stocked inside out w everything you need from kitchen, to grill, to outdoor equipment for kayaking etc. Carolyn rented her place before Airbnb so the booking process and instructions have some extra paperwork/agreements than is usual for this community here, but it is well worth it. Carolyn is a great host who was always helpful and responsive, anticipating all needs and issues, eventual and even just potential. Many thanks for hosting us, Carolyn!

Brianna's house is awesome! I went on a trip with 6 other friends, and the house has more than enough space to accommodate everyone comfortably. The house is set close to a private dock and felt so remote - though there are neighbors, we never felt bothered! The place has 2 wonderful fire pits, kayaks, a propane grill, boardgames, and a fully stocked kitchen, making it easy to hole up and relax. Everything was pristine and Brianna was never far to answer questions for us. We had a wonderful time and would love to return!

Roy and Molly are great host. Very friendly and helpful. Roy even had a fishing pole rigged up for me. Cottage was clean and helpful notes of instructions were left to aid your stay. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Roy and Molly.

I don’t know that I can add much to what other folks have written about Kent and his cottage. I had a lovely visit. It was a perfect spot on the lake.

Highly recommend the Little Blue Cottage! It was the perfect size, layout and location for our stay, which included four adults, two children and two dogs! We had plenty of space and the proximity to the lake from the cottage was fantastic and a short walk to Lodi Point State park for playground access and walkability was great. We really appreciated the ability to have our dogs with us during our stay. We'll be on our list of favorite stays within the FLX! Thank you!

Had a great stay at the cottage and Brian was a great host!

We had a wonderful stay at Alec’s place! The location absolutely cannot be beat. The view is just lovely and the home is centrally located in the finger lakes region and close to everything we were planning to do. Alec was friendly and easy to communicate with. All in all a great stay!

We enjoyed every minute at Michelle’s lovely cottage on the lake. The sunset and stars over the lake were breathtaking! The peaceful neighborhood and serene lake helped us to unwind and really enjoy some great family time together.

Thank you Ellen for the easeful stay at your cottage with clear instructions. The surroundings are beautiful. We saw an eagle at the lake!

Such a cute and comfy home right on the lake! It has such a warm and cozy feel, we had a wonderful albeit short stay here! Leigh was fantastic, very responsive and helpful. Perfect host! The home and lake shore property were beautiful and relaxing. Very clean home, comfortable bed, easy to access location. Would definitely stay here again when we're in the area.

Deer Walk cabin is a great place to rest and get back in touch with nature. The cabin has all the comforts of home and is meticulously maintained. If for your some reason you need to "plug" back in, the cabin has blazing fast internet. Want to cook dinner, the kitchen has everything you need to make a gourmet meal. Great location, within a mile of shopping great restaurants and an awesome ice cream shop! Short drive to hiking trails, which was a big plus. The host is extremely responsive and helpful, only adding to the level of comfort you'll have when renting the Deer Walk cabin.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Spruce Lake Cabin. The lake was extremely peaceful and, despite the rainy weekend, was still very enjoyable on the deck. I only wish I had more time to enjoy the kayak! Jacqui was extremely friendly and communicative from the beginning. I’m hoping to plan another stay!

We had a wonderful time at Bruce's cabin. It was great for a little weekend getaway, it was a little cold for us to swim and boat in the lake but I could definitely see us coming back when it's warmer! Lots of beautiful hikes and rivers to check out in the area. The cabin has everything you needed and the outdoor shower was one of our highlights of the trip!

The place was very beautiful! My girlfriend and I stayed a weekend at the place and the place was super clean and perfect for us two . We loved the hot tub and the paddle boats that were provided for free. The fishing was great and the bed is super comfortable. The host is very responsive and informative . We like to stay at unique AIR BNBS and like to try something different each time , but this one we would 100% do again and are already making plans to do so .

Great Stay Great Cabin! Everything was clean we felt comfortable there. The hot tub was great after the 2.4 mile walk at Watkins glen. It was too cold for us to kayak but it was nice sitting by the water and chilling. Loved the sound of the water at night.

We had the best stay! It was very beautiful and relaxing. Ed was extremely kind and reasonable. We can’t wait to return and try out some of the on-site activities. Ed gifted us with some of his own maple syrup and it’s clear he and his wife are dedicated to what they do. Very much recommend :)

My husband and I had a lovely anniversary weekend, despite the rain! The house was clean, peaceful, and conveniently located. The fresh cookies were an added bonus. We would definitely return!

This place is very special. I almost don’t want the word to get out because it’s so close to the city. The cabin is rustic and fun, the grounds are quiet and beautiful. We came on a rainy spring weekend and used the hot tub and fireplace a lot. In the morning we kayaked in the pond among turtles and newts sunbathing in the water, floating and listening to the birds. Dasha was a very considerate and attentive host. I will come here again.
