The 20 Best Airbnbs Hudson Valley Has to Offer

The great state of New York is more than just New York City, despite what city folk may try to convince you. In fact, what the majority of those people omit to tell you is that they themselves are decamping north in droves — whether just for the weekend or for good — to the vibrant and outdoorsy communities along the banks of the Hudson River.

Stretching from Westchester County to Albany, the Hudson River Valley is a welcome respite from the chaos of the city. It’s easy to get to and full of charm, natural beauty, great food, art and (most importantly) space.

So if you haven’t, it’s high time you got yourself up there. Whether it’s for a romantic weekend getaway or for a big family trip, there are incredible Airbnbs that fit the bill for everyone, the best of which we’ve outlined below.

We’ve got lots of rustic lake cabins, modern riverside lofts, renovated schoolhouses and even a converted train station. Dig in and find your next long weekend getaway.
