When it comes to New York City, there’s no running out of things to do. Visiting iconic spots, such as Empire State Building or Statue of Liberty, and seeing them with your own two eyes may make them look even more impressive than in pictures or movies. Famous tourist attractions also include Central Park and Times Square, which is filled with all sorts of stores, restaurants, and other exciting establishments. However, bustling city life isn’t all the state has going for it. In fact, other tourists may prefer a more relaxing experience on their trip. Luxurious hotels are all well and good, but you may find something even more special in the vast fields outside of the city. If that’s what you’re looking for, keep scrolling to find the top farm stays in New York, USA, for a rejuvenating trip.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 13, 2024.
