About an hour’s drive from New York City, Allendale is a low-key getaway destination that offers a small-town vibe. Encompassed by plenty of natural beauty, Allendale is the premiere place to enjoy both winter and summer activities. Allendale is home to a nature preserve called the Celery Farm. Hundreds of animals, including deer, fox, frogs, rabbits, turtles, and exotic birds can be found here. But what truly put Allendale on the map is Crestwood Lake. This 71 acre (28.73 hectare) park includes a man-made lake, 3 beaches, several sports fields, and a barn pavilion. Ice skating on the lake is a big draw during the winter months. Close proximity to the Hudson Valley, and the surrounding mountains, makes skiing and other winter sports ideal as well. No matter what time of year you choose to visit, don’t forget to book an awesome stay at one of these top Airbnb vacation rentals!

Just a quick train ride to New York City, this private room in a cozy home is a great alternative for travelers who don’t want to pay New York City lodging prices.

Guests have access to WiFi, honors bar, laundry facilities, lots of parking, TV room, and even a baby grand piano! A wonderful outdoor area allows guests great al fresco dining. There’s also an outdoor fire pit, and a lovely porch for napping or reading.
