Book this place!! Incredibly beautiful and cozy environment. The farm staff was very friendly and accommodating. Can’t wait to come back!

Jason’s place was fantastic! It was in a beautiful, perfect location - not too far from the city, but enough to get away and feel secluded and connected to nature. The yurt is very warm with the heater and it didn’t hurt that we went around a mild time. Naturally, there was still a lot of snow and ice on the ground during our visit; my low-horsepower car got stuck, twice (but Jason was very quick to help) - but it didn’t hurt too badly! It is overall a very cute place with cute farm animals just a short walk away from the yurt to boot. My girlfriend and I want to visit again in the summer. We had a lovely experience.

We had a lovely stay and a magical experience! The farm is amazing even in the winter. It was cold but the mighty little heater warmed us up right away. We really appreciate all the thoughtfulness in hosting and letting us feed the animals. We’re sure this will be a life long wonderful memory for our daughter and ourselves. We are so happy we found this listing. The yurt was clean upon arrival, bed was incredibly comfortable, Jason was very responsive and was a pleasure to meet. We can’t wait to come back in Spring!

Quite a whimsical place. It was great for us to stay the night and spend a night under the stars.

Cute and comfy! Highly recommend!

What a stellar stay! I loved meeting the cows and Rudy the pig. The yurt was surprisingly warm even on a a 30 degree day. The bed was soft and I had a wonderful nights sleep. The yurt was clean, smelled fresh and the heater was the perfect temperature. The hosts were communicative and we found the place no problem with step by step directions with pictures. I would absolutely love to stay here again!

Very private and comfortable, perfect setting too.

Loved staying at this yurt!! Heating is perfect, was not cold at all despite it snowing outside! Directions and location were super clear. What an amazing get away!

This is a great place. It’s just the right size. It’s quiet and out of the way. There are some great nature preserves and hiking locations near by. I highly recommend this place.

Great little cabin for taking some time off the city during the winter. I definitely recommend it and would love to go there in the summer!

Had an excellent time staying at Chelsi’s place. It was the perfect getaway. Everything was very neat and cozy. Would definitely go back.

I have had the most amazing time and will definitely be returning very very soon. It was so clean and cozy and had everything we could possibly need for our stay. I can't say much more other than that Chelsi is amazing and her instructions are so simple and pretty straight forward so that you know what to expect when arriving, how you can access all that is available during your stay and what you need to do when leaving. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone.

It was an amazing experience to stay in The Knox Cabin! We were first greeted by a friendly hen and walked us to the door. The hen knows the path to the cabin, so you just have to follow her, she knows better! We loved the homey and comfy ambiance of the cabin. We instantly fell in love with it! Once the fireplace lights up, it warms the entire cabin. Cooking utensils can be found in the kitchen. There's a wine and liquor store nearby to grab a bottle or two of red and white wine. A perfect place to give yourself a break from your busy and chaotic life. Thanks so much to Chelsi for giving us more than enough space to park our long truck and for making us feel welcomed! Highly recommendable vacation place! We will surely come back in Spring or Summer!

This cabin is the perfect place for a quiet weekend away! Our hosts offered many suggestions for things to do in the area but our favorite activity was cosying up next to the fireplace and watching a movie. The space was clean and well-equipped with enough cookware and dishware for us to make our meals. This was an amazing space for our vacation and we will gladly be back!

The space was absolutely wonderful! Chelsi's responses were quick and easy, the space was absolutely stunning in the winter time (the snow!!), and it was the perfect cozy getaway for the weekend. I would definitely go back!

Chelsi's cabin was wonderful and we had a great weekend there. The cabin was cozy and private and Chelsi gave us some great tips on some hiking spots.

Lydia is an excellent host! So friendly and kind and welcoming. The bed is super comfy and everything lovely and clean. Beautiful personal touches with her own original artwork. Plus, there are two totally charming four-legged hosts included as a special bonus-- Maxine (dog) and Chandler (cat)! Hoping to have the opportunity to stay at Lydia's again!

I've traveled across the globe on AirBnB and this was one of my favorites. Everything from this hostess is highly thoughtful. She has a sparkling personality with 5 star type hospitality. Her house is well decorated, clean and equipped for a night or even a year stay. Her dog is super friendly and cat is cute as can be. She has space outside for a fire, seating on a porch or throwing a frisbee. The room had a Keruig, complimentary water, towels and a nice closet. Wi-Fi included. And a bathroom to yourself. Shes a great person and I highly recommend her.

Beautiful house in a small town. Easy to get into and the mattress is to die for. Although it was raining and gloomy, the space was warm and cozy. I didn't get to meet Lydia though, so I'll have to make a special trip to do so.

Large room, soft carpet, clean place, tables, two cats and one dog, quiet area, warm.

Very friendly host and pets. Nice quiet stay.

Absolutely amazing place to stay, Lydia is thoughtful and kind, Maxine(her dog) is so cuddly and fun I loved playing catch with her. All of the amenities from the bathroom to the bed were very clean, with freshly washed sheets on a super comfortable bed.

Highly recommended. As advertised, this is a clean, simple room, with a very comfortable bed at a modest price. Lydia was very friendly and helpful. Communication was simple before we got there and during our stay. Water pressure in the shower was outstanding! Just what we were looking for!

Nice room, great value. Bonus, the dog is super friendly.

Wonderful getaway spot perfect for a weekend out of the city!

EXCELLENT!

This was a stylish place in a very scenic area. Ann was very responsive and the stay was enjoyable.

Ann is a lovely host and this apartment has everything you need. My girlfriend and I stayed here while snowboarding at Windham; it was only 30 minutes away and a great price. The town is very small, but really is beautiful and quiet in the winter. The waterfall right across the street was a nice touch! There are a few convenience stores about 15 minutes away, but if you plan to do a big shopping I would stop at Walmart on the way there (about 30 min away). Would definitely stay here again next time we venture to Windham.

The apartment is beautiful and located in a lovely scenic area, we really loved our stay.

Ann's apartment was the perfect escape from NYC, it's clean warm and thoughtfully decorated. I took an awesome hot shower and cooked a yummy dinner in the very cute small kitchen space. Even though we visited in late December, the drive was beautiful and it was really awesome to listen to the waterfall just across the street. We'll be back in the spring and ready to hike in the area :)

This is a great place in the center of town, next to hiking trails and has a great view of the waterfall. Ann is wonderful and very responsive. Looking forward to booking again in the future!

The place was cute a cozy. Nice for if you want to take a nice getaway and spend time with your significant other with no noise or interruptions

This pond house was in a perfect location for any trip to Thacher Park. Melanie and Paul were both so thoughtful and courtious, and their home was very clean and organized.

Great hosts

Great location!

This is a lovely home and generously shared by our hosts. It is just outside a state park so is quiet. The bedroom and private bath are clean and comfortable. The great room faces the deck overlooking the pond and is a lovely place to relax. The kitchen was at our disposal for breakfast. Our hosts made sure we had everything we needed and offered just the right amount of attention.

A peaceful little retreat with a clean, cozy room. I enjoyed the wraparound deck with a beautiful view of the pond and marsh. A perfect stop just a step away from the beautiful State park and lake!

We loved this beautiful home and took advantage of the close proximity to both Albany and the local state park! Melanie and Paul’s thoughtful touches made our stay fantastic. Perfect for a quiet getaway on the way north to the Adirondacks.

Melanie and Paul were incredibly accommodating and flexible. The guest room is very neat and homey, with its own dedicated full bathroom - I felt very comfortable and that my privacy was respected. They provided me with the autonomy I needed for the day (I had to come-and-go, as I was attending a wedding). The basket of toiletries on the bureau is a fabulous touch. Thanks so much, Melanie and Paul!

Lovely place, the room was beautiful

We could find almost all possible amenities that we needed. It was more than my expectations.

This was absolutely INCREDIBLE.

Amazing weekend getaway, just outside the Capital Region. Liesl was so attentive to special touches and any possible amenities a guest may need. The photos offered a decent first look at the property. However, upon arrival, they didn’t do the home justice. The views were gorgeous; home was wonderful cosy and clean, and the hot tub was the cherry on top during the wintery weekend. Despite being millennials, we didn’t need the tv with the many games and books provided to us. Would highly recommend to both locals and out of town folks.

This cozy cabin is a real gem! Liesl is one of the most gracious hosts I’ve had and always checked in on us. The views are spectacular and the cabin is picturesque cozy. We had such a wonderful stay and hope to do it again some time! Thank you again!

We loved it. Fit our needs well for our niece’s Wedding. Would definitely go back.

The cottage was lovely with a beautiful view of the lake and we enjoyed using the hot tub. The host met us when we arrived and was very friendly the cottage was very clean and spacious and when we were leaving the host gave us a bag of pears and they were great for our next part if our road trip

This is the perfect getaway from the craziness of the work week. Whether you are travelling from 5 or 500 miles away to get a breath of fresh air, this is a peaceful and beautiful location to do it. The lake house has the coziness of camp but with all the amenities of home. Step out on the back deck and your cares disappear. The view of the lake and surrounding hills is so calming. Having access to the kayaks and paddle boat are an added bonus. Liesl and Stu have created a great home away from home for a couples get-away or a family weekend at your "summer home" without any of the responsibilities after you leave.

We can't thank you enough for the hospitality you shared with good friends and family during our wedding weekend. They were more than thrilled with the beautiful, picturesque accommodations at your lovely home. The lake was beautiful for swimming, paddle boarding, and kayaking. The outdoor decking and hot tub were the icing on the cake! We look forward to recommending your home in the future to our friends and family and renting it ourselves for a close by getaway. Jackie and Sloane

This place is a great stay if you're looking for a nice weekend getaway. Sandra was a great host and made us feel welcome. Highly recommend staying here

This is a gem of a place. I would highly recommend staying here!

Sandra and Chuck are perfect hosts. They were friendly and helpful. The apartment is clean, comfortable and well-furnished. We appreciated the home-baked cookies and being greeted by the nicest dogs ever.

This apartment was just as advertised. Wonderful hosts. There if needed. No unnecessary intrusions.

Such a warm and inviting place to stay! Chuck and Sandy went above and beyond for our daughter as she got ready for her wedding and and the grounds were spectacular for pictures!! Hospitality is A+!!

Sandra's place is a very cozy, warm, and well cared for apartment with lovely farmhouse touches. Ideal for couples or small families. Situated in a lovely little town just outside of Albany, just down the road from an apple orchard/cafe/beer garden, it is ideal for a fall get-away. Her and her husband are kind and responsive hosts. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will come back when visiting again in the future.

Ever dream of a little yellow house with a wraparound porch on a meadow in the country? With a view of the Helderberg Escarpment, one of the most unsung, accessible and terrific vistas with stunning cliffs anywhere? This is the best escape. You can make good coffee or tea or anything else - it's like your own house without having to mow the grass!

Wow!! This place is incredible. Sandy is a dream to communicate with and such an incredible hostess. The apartment is clean, cozy and offers everything you could need and more. Staying on the farm was an added bonus. It is quiet and peaceful yet so close to the hustle and bustle of Albany. Thanks so much for the hospitality!

This was my second trip to the cabin, about 3 years after my first. It was even cuter than I remembered, and Rachel and Brian added some more touches and features. My boyfriend and I had a wonderful weekend away from city life. Make sure to go out at night and just look up at the stars! We were looking forward to the lack of cell reception and loved how quiet it was here. We also loved the game cabinet. The cabin was very cozy and we were able to keep it warm in February by using the fireplace as directed. Thanks for a great trip and we hope to be back someday!

We spent the weekend in this snowy cabin and we had the most memorable time. Bryan was so helpful anytime we needed him and the location is so beautiful. We hope to come back!

Beautiful place, very clean.

Great little getaway! The area’s quite rural, as you’d hope (bring groceries) and the property is lovely, with a large preserve a few minutes down the road for woods walks. Rachel was out of town during our two-night stay, but Brian was very friendly and accommodating, and readily available in case anything came up. Our winter stay was just what we’d hoped for — we’d been planning on enjoying a quiet few days feeding the fire and relaxing without WiFi or cell service, and this did the trick. Cozy, appealing space for those who are looking to (lightly) rough it for a spell. Thanks Rachel and Brian — we’ll be back!

The cabin is absolutely perfect for travelers looking for a getaway out in nature! Photos and description are all accurate. It was so much fun to chop your own wood to keep the cabin warm, drink tea overlooking the lake, cook meals, play board games and hike around! This was exactly the kind of trip we wanted. Cozy, fun and relaxing!

We had a great time getting off the grid for a few days! The space was perfect, clean, and lots of special touches. We look forward to visiting again!

This is a gem, a wonderful place that becomes rarer and rarer in our populated space. Back to nature state would be a good definition to a weekend in this cabin. The rocker stove works great even if it did struggle this weekend when it was 4 degrees F outside. Rachel and Brian are wonderful hosts, highly recommend their place and hospitality.

Very helpful and kind hosts, we found ourselves totally enveloped in nature splitting wood for warmth. Enjoying the lake and the night sky !

This place is a hidden gem. Very much off the beaten path you will find the gorgeous place with a cute little pond and many animals. Jonathan was a great host and the place was perfect.

This is a perfect half-way stop for us traveling between family in Boston and Ithaca, and we hope to make it one we return to! Jonathan was very accommodating for us traveling with a small toddler, and his farm was such a beautiful and peaceful place to break up our drive for the night we stayed there. Like everyone else has mentioned, the farm-fresh eggs were a delight, but so was getting to go and show our daughter the chickens they came from!

This stay was absolutely amazing! The amenities were so thoughtful, down to the farm fresh eggs we ate for breakfast. It was sparkling clean and we would definitely recommend staying here for the night whether it’s an extended stay or just passing through for the night.

This was the perfect weekend getaway and we’ll definitely be back in the future!

This was such a great little getaway. Jonathan was very warm and welcoming and the space was idyllic. I highly recommend a stay at their Misty Acres; I know have it bookmarked for future visits to the area.

We had a great time during our stay at Jonathan’s place. We had everything we needed during our weekend stay. Fresh farm eggs left for us were delicious. The house is not far from the shopping centers and great little restaurants. We got lucky that it snowed during our stay, so it was pretty awesome seeing everything covered in white.

A great place to stay!! Jonathan was very accommodating- let us check in early and left us some fresh eggs to enjoy! Very quiet place to relax - it was perfect for us!!

Great space, lots of touches that made our short stay so comfortable. Clean, spacious, comfy bed, awesome pillows!

Rachel was so informative and helpful. She provided directions and lists of things to do in the area, as well as quick replies to my inquiries. Brian is a gem of a human who showed us around the gorgeous property and made us feel very welcome. We got to spend time with the goats, which we loved, we canoed out on the private pond, walked the labyrinth, toured the fairie gardens. Roosters in the morning, owls at night. The complete darkness is such a welcome sight ;) coming from a heavy light polluted area. We were given tons of extra blankets which kept us snug and warm all night. The property itself, as well as the surrounding area, is so beautiful I imagine we will be making this a regular trip.

If you are looking to completely unplug from the stress and anxiety of the city, this is the place for you. This electricity-free and service-free yurt will help you quiet your mind and give you a chance to reflect with nature. Rachel and Bryan are lovely hosts, who are very kind and will give you space if you need it or genuine conversations about life, nature, and well-being. Don't be afraid of their dogs -- they are big, but they are gentle giants and just want to cuddle and play all the time. The property is beautiful and definitely reminds you of the simpler things in life!

My granddaughters and I loved the YURT at GARDEN OF ONE! The girls thought the beanbag beds were awesome, and Brian accommodated me with a nicely padded floormat for my own sleeping bag. Excellent outdoor kitchen for breakfasts after a great home-cooked breakfast at Rachel and Brian's the first morning: fresh eggs and savory chickpea cakes. ----The girls loved the Pond while I read and relaxed on the hammock, plus fun tours of the Faerie Garden, the Meditation Labyrinth, and treks on the pond path. Rachel was very busy which took her away during our stay, but husband Brian was absolutely super with my g'kids: they thoroughly enjoyed the farm, all the animals -- especially treating the ponies to carrots and brushing Houston while Brian explained hoof care to my girls as he trimmed them. They even named a baby goat! Great location for exploring the area, including one of the only drive-in movie theatres left in America, and Howe Caverns. ----Please don't stay in the yurt unless you are open to being in the midst of nature!! There are no amenities other than your own sense of peace, contemplation, writing, reading… It was exactly what we wanted, away from electronics, listening to the bullfrogs at night -- roosters, goats, chickens by day… Other than the camping kitchen, the only amenity was the outdoor compostable “toilet” with wood shavings. You are truly in nature! ----And please recognize this is a working farm and their home!! There are no spotless grounds neatly manicured for guests like a hotel – There’s no housekeeping staff: there are exuberant dogs, noisy farm critters, plants and plantings, manure, mud, dust, clutter, repair work, tools, rough roads, the works! A really nice couple making their farm life a reality. There’s no real community space either, other than at a pre-arranged time, Brian and Rachel make their house available: They have a dining nook available when you pre-order meals (with a great Roman-style heating bench system we learned about from Brian) and have a spotless bathroom with shower for guests to use at an agreeable time. -- I was also happy to purchase some of their lovely products: Brian suggested their magnesium-boron Mineral Liniment for my achy joints, which I tried and liked and bought and USE! As well as an insect repellent/after-bite that they make and market under their Garden of One label, smells heavenly and the girls loved it for the inevitable mosquito bites. Available online. -- Next time, the girls want to try the cabin… So we will be sure to book again next year! A really terrific experience, one that this grandmother and her two granddaughters will treasure forever.

This is an ideal spot to unplug, unhook, and reconnect with the serenity of the woods. The accouterments are rustic but your needs will be met: a sturdy yurt, fresh water, an outdoor cooking area, a composting toilet, a chiminea for fires, a pond for a dip, plenty of space, and bear bags... because you are indeed in the woods. Bryan and Rachel are wonderful hosts. They are accessible but respectful of your privacy, available even though fairly busy working on their farm, and genuinely kind hearted people.

My partner and I stayed here for a couple nights and it was exactly what we needed! Beautiful night skies, farm animals, a lake, canoe, hiking close by. Definitely surrounded by nature. We booked last minute and Brian was very responsive and accommodating! We arrived late, around 11pm, and Brian met us and showed us around like it was the middle of the day. He was made us feel comfortable and at ease as soon as we got out of the car. The farm is wonderful, and I love that it is off-grid. We unfortunately booked too late to get meals included, but there is an outdoor kitchen so we had no problems making our own meals. Everything was very clean and the bean bags are surprisingly comfortable! We brought our pup and she was able to be off leash. The yurt has multiple heavy curtains instead of doors, so we did keep our pup on leash at night and fastened to the inside of the yurt. This was not a problem for us, but might be important to others thinking about bringing pets along! She was still able to have full range of the yurt with her long leash. Also, definitely bring bug spray/sleep in long johns and socks. All in all a perfect weekend in the woods and would come back any time! I definitely recommend! Thank you so much!

A perfect low-key long weekend away! The yurt is extremely cozy, and we had a great time cooking great outdoor dinners in their little camping kitchen, stargazing by the lake, and warming up by a fire on our last night. And we held newborn baby goats delivered on the premises! Brian was a kind, thoughtful host who cooked us a mean breakfast our first morning. Thank you!

Rachel and Brian were great hosts the property is beautiful the yurt was in great shape and cozy

A whole lot of WONDERFUL!! If you are seeking a unique, relaxing and beautiful experience this is a place to find it!! We (my husband and 4.5 yr old son) enjoyed EVERY part of our stay at Rachel and Brian's: "yurting", canoeing, visiting farm animals, hiking, lake swimming, wandering around the fairy forrest and labyrinth walking. We took the 3 meal/day food plan and had amazingly delicious and varied farm fresh healthy meals which included homemade breads, including gluten free options (I have Celiac disease). Moreover, they were able to deal with our son's somewhat picky eating habits ... they even got him to try fresh cooked red beets and he loved them!! Thank you, Rachel and Brian, for being such gracious and thoughtful hosts. Side note: If you want a change up to your idyllic days at Brian and Rachel's there are many terrific places to visit around the Rensselaerville (a lovely little hamlet) area. Brian and Rachel were super knowledgeable and helpful on this front as well.

Very private and peaceful surroundings, which made it easy to get a good night's sleep. And the layout of the home affords each guest privacy. The rooms are separated nicely; we couldn't even hear anything from the living room and kitchen. Everything was clean & tidy. The bedrooms are all good sized, roomy and have extra chairs. The bed was comfortable, and the sheets, blankets, and bedspread were (I believe) 100% cotton. VERY comfy! The private entrance in the guest wing was convenient. We didn't feel at all as if we were disrupting anyone. Simon & Dardis were communicative and helpful.

Perfect stay for those guests attending a wedding at The Carey. Great communication and accommodations

Aaron has a beautiful and unique place and was a great host and really flexible and accommodating when we had to make some last minute changes. He also got us breakfast, which was a really thoughtful touch. And he has the cutest little dogs. We had a nice and relaxing long weekend.

This place is very special. Has amazing views, perfect quietness and a nice atmosphere. We’ll be back!

Looking for a peaceful, incredibly scenic, luxurious getaway...look no further! Aaron's property is an unusual tri-circular structure, nestled between beautiful greenery, water and mountains! The pool is well-maintained, the spacious, artsy and clean inside includes all the amenities one could wish for...and then some! The views from all around - including the bedroom - are truly spectacular and the property is less than a half an hour's drive of many scenic trails and also the attractions of Albany. After many years of vacationing, this is honestly the first time we'd consider a repeat!

We were looking for a quiet get away with a great view and got it! Wonderful place ! Aaron is such a thoughtful host ! Such a cool lay out of the house as well! Thanks so much!

Adorable property with UNREAL spectacular views. Beautiful pool and fully equipped kitchen. You’ll love this for a relaxing stay.

Aaron has a beautiful place. The view from the outdoor patio and the pool is to die for. The pool and jacuzzi inside were my highlights of this trip. I was there with 4 of my friends and we had a super fun time. Aaron was an amazing host with the quick replies and gave us complete privacy. His dogs are adorable. He also got us breakfast the first day which was extremely sweet. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you’re looking for a countryside getaway. Very peaceful.

Aaron is a great host, he was very kind and responded to our inquiries in a timely manner. He respected our wishes to have privacy. His pool and and yard have an amazing view. I recommend this place if you want a peaceful and quiet couple of days away from your daily routine.

Aaron's home is a lovely, quiet, and private escape. The views from the patio are beautiful and we really enjoyed the pool. The bathroom jacuzzi was a great feature as well, super relaxing. The space is exactly as advertised and Aaron was a wonderful host, even providing our kitchen with some breakfast supplies to welcome us. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet weekend away in a beautiful surrounding.

What a welcoming home. My family only stayed for one night, but this was such a comfortable place. It's also quite spacious for anyone who might have a larger group. The bedrooms hiding up in the attic are fantastic. We brought our two dogs with us and this was a great place from to run around as well--both in the yard and at the Hyuck preserve that's a 10 minute walk away. I hope we can come back in warmer weather to get to enjoy the area even more.

JR is an excellent host. His communication is very prompt. We had a brief problem with the heating system and it was resolved seamlessly and quickly. The house is very charming--it is an early 19th c home, and while it is not renovated, it has been kept up and is very spacious. The hosts provide many more necessities than are customary, including a well-stocked kitchen and toiletries. The linens are lovely. Our stay was cozy and welcoming. Thank you, JR.

A beautiful house and a great host. We had an amazing time there.

Great value. Cozy accommodations. Lovely, little village.

The hosts are great. Response to questions was very quick. The house is a rustic, well stocked gem in a beautiful laid back town. Truly enjoyed our stay

Sweet space and very accommodating hosts!

This is a very cool old home in a beautiful setting. It was exactly what we were looking for for a woodsy weekend. The hosts were very responsive and the house had everything you could need. I would definitely book this again.

Very nice relaxing place to stay. Every morning and evening we received some four legged guests (family of five deer) and a large group of two legged guests (wild turkey). Great place to stay to get away from it all!

Beautiful location, great host, rustic but very clean farmhouse. Best sleep I’ve had in a while.

Perfect stay for those attending a wedding at the Carey Institute. Fantastic communication and excellent accommodations. Highly recommended

Dardis and Simon are wonderful hosts. From the time we booked our visit, to the day we departed from their lovely home, Dardis and Simon, were thoughtful, informative and welcoming. Their location is very close to the 'Carey Institute for Good', which was especially helpful, as we were in Rensselaerville for a family wedding. Thank you, Dardis! Thank you, Simon!

What a cool house! We had a great time, and the hosts were lovely and very helpful!

Simon and Dardis have an incredible home. It provided exactly what we needed for the wedding weekend. A cozy place to stay and warmth from our hosts. We stayed two nights and Simon stayed up to let us in when we arrived later than expected the first night. The grounds were incredible with a tennis court and horses all as an added feature to our lovely weekend. Thank you both again, Joy

We rented this fabulous home for some of our family for our wedding weekend. My elderly parents, 3 siblings, and a few nieces and nephews loved Christopher’s home. There was plenty of comfortable space for sleeping and enjoying time together. The location was beautifully wooded and private and a short distance from the wedding at Indian Ladder Farm (btw a must go to in the area). Would definitely return again in the future!! Thanks Christopher!! The Ginn, Tine, and Pockoski families

Christopher's home is beautiful and immaculate. The bedrooms are large and all of the beds were very comfortable. His backyard is beautiful and our kids enjoyed watching the rabbits and the birds in the mornings. We would love to stay there again when we are back in town.

This home is stunningly beautiful with an idyllic setting and wonderful amenities. We loved it.

Christopher's place is beautiful and well appointed. They have wonderful taste in decor. It was bright and cheerful and we'll stocked with anything we could ask for. They responded promptly to all our questions and we very helpful and friendly. My daughter and her family came from IL, and we came from MA to all stay together for the Thanksgiving holiday. I would definitely stay again.

Fantastic stay at John’s place. Super clean, great communication, great location. Everything we wanted. Hope to stay there again

Highly recommend! John was easy to communicate with and his place was better than expected. Very comfortable, clean, and perfectly located for anyone looking to visit the ski slopes. Had a great time!

John's place was fantastic, it worked perfect for a group of 6 with two small children. John was also a very gracious host, very fast responses. Would highly recommend and we will be back!

Beautiful home and super clean and lots of space.

Clean

The house is very spacious and very comfortable. We had 7 in our family, and there was plenty of space. The kitchen was fantastic, which is where our family spent much time cooking and visiting. We had a small problem with water temperature due to a valve that needed to be replaced, which was taken care of promptly. Upon arrival, check-in was easy, as was gaining access to the house. There was a note from John welcoming us, and a little booklet with some easy to follow instructions and good tips on some of the local restaurants. All in all, quite a wonderful experience.

John's house is a spacious retreat in the suburbs of Albany. It's always nice to stay in someone's home rather than a pure rental because there's some character. John's helpful suggestions also pointed us to good places to eat out in the area.

Fabulous home in a fabulous location. Immaculate, very private, quiet, and comfortable.

The place is super cozy, you really feel home in a second. So peaceful and quiet on top of a hill with a relaxing view. Perfect to escape the city!

This place is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful space Bush People! We were so fortunate to be able to see the beautiful foliage here! If we ever find ourselves traveling back to this area this is definitely say again plates!

Mindy was a great host; she had timely and friendly communication. The location is perfect for a couple looking to enjoy time near the Catskills. It is cozy (the pictures are very accurate) and well stocked with all the amenities one expects in the kitchen and bathroom. We were also happy to find plenty of supplies to make an outdoor fire. The cabin is located about 12 minutes from Main St, Middleburgh with plenty eateries, shops and a market. There are some nice hikes within about 30 minutes drive. We had a great weekend and would definitely stay again.

This little Upstate New York cabin is simply perfect! Mindy is a fabulous host, very communicative and helpful, and the cabin is stocked full of thoughtful little amenities. Thanks Mindy!

A pretty out of the way place west of albany. No cellphone service, and very rural area. Great to relax and stargaze.

Mindy's place is perfect for 2 guests! We spent a lot of time sitting outside, listening to crickets and frogs, watching birds at the feeders. If you have any questions, the family will graciously answer.

Mindy’s cabin was immaculate and cozy. Just 10 minutes from Middleburgh and really adorable. Mindy greeted us kindly when we arrived and made us feel right at home!

Mindy’s place was perfect for a couples trip to the mountains. Very close to the local diner and lots of cool nature things. Check out Vernon’s Nose if you’re into hiking. Bed was super comfy for a good nights rest. Would def stay again!

Mindy's home offered the perfect escape! Nestled in a remote area several miles from town, I enjoyed the sounds of the birds, crickets, and the sight of the stars at night. It was a pleasure to relax to sounds of nature and the sight of greenery out the window. I felt like I truly got away from it all! I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the bed and pillows and the soft texture of the sheets. At 6 months pregnant, it can be difficult for me to sleep well, but I was perfectly comfortable. Mindy was helpful, communicative, and accommodating. I found exactly the experience I was looking for and plan on returning the next time I need a little escape from the city.

Todd’s place is wonderful. The bedroom was clean and comfortable. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. I brought my big, high-maintenance dog; Todd and his family treated him like their own. Highly recommended.

Lovely room with comfortable bed and its own refrigerator in former ranch house under re-construction to become a dream abode. Can't wait to see what the next addition will be. Gorgeous location. Kind and accommodating host.

When you arrive at Todd's, you be overwhelmed by the imposing beauty of his home and it's location. Though a work in progress at the time of my visit, it offered an escape from anything anyone could consider the norm. Todd and his wife were the most gracious of hosts, and just to walk around and take in the furnishings and decor of their home would make a visit there worthwhile.

Cute tiny castle secluded in the woods. under construction. Great views and access to outdoor recreation.

Beautiful house with nice amenities and views.

Outstanding stay! We were comfortable and had plenty of room to cook for a reunion of 20 people. The kitchen was incredible!

This place was amazing! Exactly like the pictures and was something different for me to experience will definately be using this home again

We had a great stay at Robert and Cynthia's place! The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking! Just a heads up, the water is sulfur-y if that is something that bothers you, but that is disclosed on the listing and there is filtered water and ice on the fridge. We recommend this house!

Great location with a great view! We went during the month of November but still some bugs in tents so not for people who can’t do bugs. Having fire pit both inside and outside of tents was great, we had a good time overall.

What a charming place. I loved the animals, the tipi was cozy and unique. Enjoyed having my own space. The outhouse was conveniently located near the tipi. Who knew this piece of paradise was located only 20 minutes from Albany. There are different types of accommodations on the property if staying in a tipi isn't your thing. But its truly a one of a kind experience. I can't wait to come back.

Our stop at the tipi on Magic Forest Farm was awesome. The stone floor and built in fire pit made it feel very glamorous for such a rustic spot. Definitely a great choice if you’re in the greater Albany area!

What a spot! It made an excellent getaway from NYC. We took trains up here via a brief stop in Beacon to go to Storm King, and then we got off at the Albany/Ren station. From there we snagged a taxi at midnight, and that cost us $56 to get a pool ride that took an hour and a half to get to Jason's. I recommend going earlier and catching an uber for $30ish. That's what we got on the way back to the station anyhow. We walked to the tipi in the dark from the larger buildings, torch in hand and met a friendly cow along the way. The tip of the tipi was sealed over when we got there due to forecast rain, so we slept under a few layers of blankets and were very cosy. We woke up to heavy rain, and spent the day meeting animals, relaxing in the tipi, and getting soaked outside. I was lent a poncho and an old umbrella by one of the resident woofers which was nice. We met other guests and everyone was very friendly. We also didn't bring a lot of food which was stupid. Luckily we found a Chinese place on Seamless which delivered. The rain died down that night, so we managed to get a fire lit. The matches in the tipi were a bit damp from drips in the day, so I asked for a lighter and that worked a treat. It was smokey at first, but we soon got the hang of it, and put it out/closed the tipi tip before dozing off. The next morning was beautiful, and we saw and interacted with lots of critters which I won't spoil in this review. All in all it was a fantastic experience. I recommend getting there earlier in the day, bringing more food, checking the weather forecast, and packing accordingly. We didn't want to leave, and I would love to stay again!

☆☆☆☆☆buy fresh farm eggs on your way home!!!!!!

This is a perfect spot with an awesome view. Great for a just a night, or great for longer!

We loved our stay here. It was a very good experience.

Absolutely loved our stay! Would definitely come back again. The farm is gorgeous, the animals are lovely, and the campsite is so private and spacious.

Simon and Dardis have a lovely home on beautiful grounds. There were some lovely touches (fresh coffee and breads in the communal kitchen) and some great local history. We woke up each morning to the sound of horses in the paddock on beautiful fall days. The bedrooms were clean, huge and the beds were exceedingly comfortable! I got married locally the weekend we stayed there, and Dardis even lent me a beautiful wrap to combat a seasonably chilly night after I forgot mine. It's a great spot to spend a weekend in a beautiful upstate location.

Simon and Dardis are the best hosts I’ve encountered on this platform. Thank you so much for making our reunion magical!

When we were scheduling our rooms, the hosts told us the rooms were rather big. This isn't an exaggeration--the rooms are incredibly large, and the seating areas are lovely. After a little bit of a communication issue, we stayed in the private wing. In three of our four rooms, we had views of the horses. To small children, this is better than almost anything! The beds were comfortable, and although we didn't need it, our hosts made sure we knew where spare towels and other accoutrements were. Speaking of children and hosts, I thought our hosts were exceptional with the children. Not only did they tolerate the children (that's all I ask!), but they were welcoming. They found little things for them to do, read them books, and overall treated the children like very welcomed guests. It is a peaceful farm. There are horses and bulls, and someone clearly has a green thumb. There are lots of spots to steal away for a little peace and quiet. The hosts are very friendly, and they made us feel like welcomed friends instead of clients. If we went back to the Catskills, we would certainly consider staying there again.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful house. The rooms were big an beautifully decorated, Simon and Dardis were wonderful hosts and made us all feel very comfortable. They even took time to let our children feed and ride on their horses.

Beautiful and fun farmhouse with tons of space and lots of outdoor spots to explore and enjoy. We had a great mini-vacation!

Simon and Dardis are great hosts. They made sure my guests and I had everything we needed for a enjoyable stay. The bedrooms are very well maintained and comfortable. It was nice to see the horses out and about. Great conversation with the hosts. The accommodations were very comfortable, I would recommend Hickory Hill to others who want to have a good time in the Catskills mountains.

My friends and I stayed at Hickory Hill for a wedding nearby. The home was so relaxing and comfortable. Simon was a great host, very welcoming and very responsive to all our questions before and during our stay. I highly recommend staying at Hickory Hill if you need a place to get away from it all.

Everything was perfect for our vendors for our near by wedding.

This beautiful farm property perfectly matches the posted description. The "AirBnB" wing of the house includes four bedrooms, three of which were empty during my off-season stay. Everything was clean, comfortable and homey. It's not really a work destination, but I did have space (and electrical outlets, and decent WiFi) to spread out with my laptop for a few hours, as well. Simon and his wife were speedy with all responses and cheerfully accomodated a somewhat late arrival when I ran into travel issues. it was a short stay, but they were gracious and helpful hosts in every way.

The drive up to Hickory Hill is a scenic and peaceful one, and staying there for a weekend is the same. We enjoyed the clean and comfy room, as well as taking a hike around the property. Sunset and sunrise are gorgeous here. Simon was a delight to chat with regarding logistics and local recommendations for food and nature. Would recommend to anyone wanting to find respite from the city.

I reserved this stay for my family during my wedding weekend at the Carey Institute so I'm unable to speak to the specifics but the communication was fantastic and the host was very accommodating. Very convenient for groups staying off-site when attending a wedding at the Carey Institute

What a wonderful home, full of beautiful old details. It is cozy, charming, and a whimsical location that offers much to explore (horses, pond, fields, woods). Very tranquil. Very accommodating and hospitable hosts as well.

Gorgeous old home, beautifully restored, and genial, welcoming hosts. Also, great coffee.

Hickory Hill Farm is like a little corner of heaven in this part of New York State. Dardis and Simon were welcoming and accommodating hosts, offering us their kitchen to cook in and a choice of places to eat al fresco on the beautiful grounds. I hadn't realized just how special Hickory Hill Farm would be--with a hammock, a gazebo, horses grazing in a paddock, a small table and lounge chair just outside our guest quarters. It was hard to leave the property; I would like to come back just to lounge there and write! Nearby is the Huyck Preserve, and we were able to hike there and swim in Lake Myosotis. Simon and Dardis also offered excellent suggestions for where to go and how best to enjoy the surrounding area. We hope to return.

My partner and I had an absolutely perfect stay at the Magic Forest Farm. The space was cozy and beautifully decorated, and it was a treat to wake up in such an idyllic environment. We're already planning to come back when the weather is a bit warmer and allows us to enjoy all the farm has to offer!

We had a great experience here. It is as cute as the pictures and very clean! We will definitely stay again.

On this trip we stayed in the yurt and suite and both were amazing. We will definitely be back again. We loved every minute of your stay, we wished we can stay longer. We had interaction with the animals and helped feed them. What an experience! Our four year old didn’t want to leave. Jason was so friendly and was a pleasure to meet. We can’t wait for return again.

Although we went on one of the coldest weekends, this space made it all the more better and cozier then we expected. The space was very stylish, packed with amenities, along with an extremely comfortable bed—this was a weekend that my girlfriend and I will not forget. Jason and Joan were very accommodating and responsive. The land, on Jason’s farm, was fully open for us to roam. Again, it being cold we weren’t out often but when we were it was surrounded by some friendly farm animals (and the lovely Bea) that made our stay even better. Will certainly be back again!

Escape to this lovely, peaceful and remote feeling woodsy setting with spectacular mountain views. Cozy apartment with everything you need. My visit was mid winter and straddled a few snow/ice storms. All wheel drive made the hills eminently navigable. Once settled in, I was in my own world. I was kindly invited to join in for chores like feeding the peacocks, ducks, chickens, and sheep, but was occupied with other things during the day. Excellent retreat. Charismatic and artistic environment.

Always a pleasure staying here. We have become regulars. Jason always is consistent with his service and attentiveness to his guests. Very nice place to get away.

Spectacular views and overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend

What a great find! My wife and I enjoyed her birthday weekend on this beautiful farm with sprawling views and amazingly unique decor.

The Sacred Hollow is just that -- quiet, peaceful, and beautiful, this land is clearly well cared for and well respected. It was a true glamping experience!

Rachel’s place was incredible. The property was beautiful especially the beaver lake and labyrinth. The tents were squeaky clean and very comfortable and the hosts provided everything to make a camping adventure comfortable

We had a great stay at the Sacred Hollow! The campsite is beautiful, spacious, and private, and we were really able to disconnect and relax. We went canoeing on the lake and made campfires every night. Rachel and Brian were fantastic hosts and were very helpful in getting us situated. We'd recommend this site to anyone seeking a stay in the outdoors!

Giamping is a fabulous place! It is a small camping place, in the forest between two lakes, where you can swim, with no other people nearby. There are everything that is needed for camping life. Our family of 6 had a marvelous weekend. Many thanks to Brian for his extraordinary hospitality, we especially enjoyed animals tour. Thank you very much Brian and Rachel!

Mary Beth's place was incredible. It's situated on a perfect picturesque lake dotted by a handful of houses. It was an amazing getaway. Great fishing on the water too, we caught a fish every other cast. There are also a number of awesome things to do nearby, like mini golf and drive-in movie theaters. I can't wait to come back!
