Explore the Empire State’s varied landscape with a cabin rental upstate.
Upstate New York is an oasis for every kind of camper, whether you’re seeking an exciting getaway or looking to unwind. Some of the region’s best cabin rentals are in the Adirondacks: roughly six million acres of natural beauty. Rustic cabins (often with fire pits) are within reach of hiking trails that offer views of everything from waterfalls to Whiteface Mountain. If you’re looking for more even ground, opt for a lakeside getaway alongside Saranac Lake or Lake George, where you’ll find swimming holes and kayak rentals. Crack open a window in your log cabin with a living room or A-frame vacation rental with a hot tub, and you may be able to hear the nearby loons. For New York cabin rentals closer to NYC, try the Catskills or the Hudson Valley, and for those looking west of the Adirondacks, the Finger Lakes are both a wine and bike lover’s paradise. Just because you’re miles outside New York City doesn’t mean you have to stay in a secluded cabin or chalet—Rochester, Syracuse, and Buffalo are all within a short drive.
