Top 5 Cozy Airbnbs to Book for Your Next New York Staycation

2020 has definitely been the year of the staycation. Since we can’t travel how we normally would, we’ve been having a lot of fun doing local staycations around NY State. There is so much more to see in New York besides NYC, and we’ve been having a lot of fun getting to explore and see more of ‘our own backyard’ recently! Some of our favorite local staycations have been us cozying up in a cabin, being out in nature, and having an entire Airbnb to ourselves. We partnered with Airbnb and compiled a list of the best Airbnbs to book for a unique New York staycation, so keep reading to see the amazing places we’ve found!

  1. Stargaze & Glamping - Germantown, New York

This private yurt style tent is a luxurious way to enjoy nature. It features a queen size bed, and has a beautiful outdoor setting with a cedar deck and fire pit. The tent faces east so you know you’re going to see amazing sunrises. The stargazing here is also spectacular! There is also 15 acres of land to roam and pets are welcome!

It’s close to a bunch of Upstate NY towns like Rhinebeck, Red Hook, Kingston, Germantown, Tivoli and Hudson. But probably the coolest thing about this Airbnb is they will help book a private chef for you if you so choose! Now that’s how you elevate your stay!
