It doesn't get much more unique than a glamping yurt where you can enjoy the company of goats. This tranquil getaway is located in the woods on a small, off-the-grid goat farm. So if you're seeking an unplugged vacation, this is your spot.
The yurt is heated in the colder months by a wood stove and kerosene heater. Inside, you'll find a bed surrounded by a net, bamboo walls, a tiny washbasin, and a small pantry with an electric kettle. However, there is no full kitchen and the bathroom is an outhouse located right near the yurt.

FAQ: Hudson Valley Airbnbs
What are the best places to stay in the Hudson Valley?
Where you stay in the Hudson Valley depends on numerous factors, such as how close to a town you want to be, if you want to be near hiking trails or ski resorts, and whether you'll be driving or taking the train.
If you want to be close to shops, restaurants, and in-town activities, some of the most popular Hudson Valley areas include Beacon, Hudson, Kingston, Woodstock, and Rhinebeck. If you plan to take the train, be sure to check that your Airbnb is close enough to the train station to either walk or take a short Uber or cab ride there.
How far is Hudson Valley from New York City?
Depending on how far up along the Hudson River you travel, it can take anywhere from one and a half to three hours from midtown Manhattan, typically.
Many New York City train lines reach Hudson Valley towns such as Peekskill, Cold Spring, and Beacon in around two hours, while heading up to Poughkeepsie, Rhinebeck, or Hudson will take a bit longer. To get there faster than the train, consider renting a car if you don't have one of your own.
How much does it cost to book an Airbnb in the Hudson Valley?
In general, you can often find excellent Airbnbs in the Hudson Valley for well under $500 per night, as per our list.
However, popular cities like Beacon or Hudson do typically price on the higher end, especially during peak weekends and over holidays. If you plan to stay in an in-demand area, be sure to book as far in advance as possible as Airbnb inventory can be limited and places tend to book up fast.
What is there to do in the Hudson Valley?
The Hudson Valley is an idyllic and nature-filled retreat in any season.
In summer, you can hike, mountain bike, go for a dip in a nearby waterfall, or enjoy a craft beer or glass of wine at a local brewery or vineyard. In the autumn, the area sees breathtaking fall foliage.
Winter also makes for a great time to stay in the numerous cozy cabins available on Airbnb and curl up by the fire, ski, or snowshoe. Many of the local towns are known for great boutiques, museums, and fun galleries. There are also numerous farms in the area, so look for seasonal farmers' markets.
What is Airbnb's cancellation policy?
Cancellation policies on Airbnb are different for every listing and set by each individual host. Be sure to look for homes with flexible policies if you are unsure about your plans. For a full breakdown of Airbnb's cancellation policies, click here.
Is Airbnb safe?
The CDC notes that fully vaccinated people may safely travel throughout the US.
Medical experts and the CDC also recommend staying in private vacation homes, such as those on Airbnb, over hotels since you can book an entire home and be protected from interactions with others. It also helps to know that Airbnb put stringent new policies in place that all hosts must now follow, in accordance with their Enhanced Cleaning Protocol.
Of course, it's still crucial to follow guidelines and advice from organizations such as the CDC and WHO, and continue to practice safety measures including wearing a mask, washing your hands, and maintaining social distancing.
