Hidden Jewel, now ready to be discovered!
This exquisite home has a history of many happy times, family gatherings and personal transformations. The energies of love and caring which emanate here await you, your family and friends. Inspired by her world travels, the owner has artistically designed with collectibles from around the globe. The experience of being here is one of homelike comfort, casual elegance, richness, adventurous mystery and attention to detail-focusing beauty (the ‘Oh’ and ‘Ah’ of it.). Ancient Tibetan wedding chests, Malaysian Puppet Dolls, Central and South American Masks and Ceramics, Hard Wood Floors, Oriental Carpets…
Conveniently close to all that the beautiful Spa City has to offer, yet very far away…in so many ways…. Open the back door and step into an enchanted garden, a peaceful dimension where time slows and deep relaxation begins.
Take a stroll, contemplate the beauty of the perennial gardens or hand feed our fish in the koi pond. Meditate listening to the trickling of the water fountain or sit on one of the benches and become one with the nature. Bird baths and feeders draw our aviary companions of all kinds. Let the chimes and Thai Monastery bells be the music in your ears. Whether you want to feel the adventure of spending the night outside, share the storytelling, drum or perform a traditional fire ceremony an original Native American teepee will welcome you.
Summer in Saratoga would not be such without the outdoor dining. The wrap-around multilevel deck provides ample space for fun and entertaining or you may want to choose the screened porch which provides you with warm evening breezes absent of any arthropods.
* Large gas grill
* Roundtable and Chairs
* Chase lounges by the pool.
The Pool! Lit with Diving Board. What FUN! Soak in the Solar Rays by day and, by dusk cherish your night-cap watching the fire flies, the stars and canopy of trees lit from below.
Oh, but what about those crisp mornings on the Front Porch Café with the strong Espresso, and clear mind for picking the day’s winners?
Our Gourmet Kitchen: Newly remodeled, bright and cheery with a contemporary country twist.
* Stainless Steel Appliances
* Granite Countertops
* Espresso-Cappuccino Maker
* Antique Butcher Block Top Country Table
* Fully Stocked and Equipped
Feast on the views of the gardens and meadow beyond the stockade fence. A meadow which is a home to geese and the dining room of deer.
Elegant Dining Room: Spread out your meal on the Impressive Hand Crafted Antique Table from India. Fill up the wine rack, light-up the candle, turn the music on and…voila!… you are all set for that unforgettable dining experience!
Of course food is not Everything!
Bedrooms: All our bedrooms are equipped with new mattresses, fine designer linens, comfortable pillows , blankets and comforters. Custom built closets with ample space for your casual and gala wardrobes. Lighting that creates an intimate atmosphere with interesting art objects to please the eye. We have three bedrooms with Queen Size Beds and one with a Queen Size Futon.
The Master Bedroom is truly masterful. It expresses intimacy with warm sensuous tones, animal print bedding and French doors opening to the upper deck and a Magnolia tree canopy. You will also find some exquisite Microfiber Robes there.
The Spa Bathroom - This is The Spa City after all! Has a Steam Shower with Reclining Bench, and a Full Dry/Moist Sauna .
The Master Bathroom: Newly remodeled with an eclectic flair combining contemporary lighting with Jacuzzi tub and traditional hand painted Guatemalan basins. The saying is that a woman has everything in her purse, except for a kitchen sink, well…It was a bathroom sink that traveled in a personal bag on the way back from Guatemala. Not only the owner’s bag but her sister’s as well. Were some of the eyebrows raised at the customs?…guess! Yes, there is a stock of Plush Towels for our guests to use.
Office-Library: Truly a nice library. Classics, guides, nature and more. We have an oversized soft leather recliner for you to sink into while exploring.
* Desktop computer and printer
* Wireless Access
* Long Distance (in the US) Phone and Fax
All ready for you in case you need to stay in touch with the world.
Living Room: Here is where the anthropologist, the artist, the conversationalist and the musician meet. A really soft Leather Couch and Recliner, Entertainment Center with Cable TV, VCR, DVD, Stereo System, Extensive Music Library, Piano, Hand Made Belizean Drum (Yep, it traveled on the plane as well), a Marble Fireplace create a special ambiance to touch on all the senses. A perfect space for sharing those precious moments that memories are made of. Whether it is watching a favorite movie, playing Monopoly, listening to the opera or making your own music the journey is yours.

Owner's Map of Saratoga Springs
Nature, Adventure, Tranquility, Beauty and Comfort. Inspired by my own travels and world explorations, with a desire to share some of my favorite and special places with others, I created OurSecretGetaways. It is with pleasure that I offer you the opportunity to create your own experiences and adventures within our getaways. Being traveler myself, I know what I appreciate when I stay at different destinations. My goal is to use my traveler's intuition to provide the best atmosphere for our guests.
I strive to create in each of our retreats a unique experience, reflecting the ambiance of the area, the cultural character and natural environment. My joy springs from feeling the soul of each area and property and infusing that spirit artfully throughout the home, the landscaping and amenities provided. A confluence of nature's beauty with interior design is communicated through color harmony, original art, music collections, and the intimate warmth of a loved home. Whichever secret getaway that you may choose be assured that you will find a home where you can fully relax, be comfortable and bask in the sensual pleasures of the unique esthetic aspects of both the interior décor and the charming gardens, while drawing strength and energy from the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding habitat.

What a delight to spend the end of summer in this lovely home! (And "home" is surely what it is, as "house" will simply never do!) Lounging by the pool (and on two occasions, it was actually warm enough to swim!), with the grill working overtime, was bliss for a couple of city dwellers. The dogs had a ball (literally and figuratively), and think they live here now. Thank you for sharing your warm, artful space with these weary travelers. We leave renewed and refreshed! Katherine & Paul

Thank you so much for letting us stay at the "Treasure Chest". Your place is truly beautiful and we are quite jealous of all your stuff. In fact if you are ever giving that couch away... let us know!! Haha! The pool is incredible, the backyard in general is just AWESOME!! This made our stay in Saratoga for the weekend much better than any hotel would have done for us and we thank you for the opportunity, we enjoyed the show and our stay!!!

Thank you so much! Our team had a very relaxing atmosphere here and it was close to the race, too. What a great venue for one of the best cycling races in the nation "Tour of Battenkill" rocks! And so does the Treasure Chest...

Renata & cohorts - We've had a splendid Christmas holiday here in your comfortable house. You've inspired us with your warm decor and collections. Thank you for this place to spend our holidays together with our sister in Galway and our dad, who came all the way from Georgia. We don't see each other nearly often enough, so this was a memorable holiday, one we will cherish in our hearts forever. Wishing you love, serenity, and prosperity in the new year, Claudia, Tatiana & Michael Boston Maureen & son William Burlington, VT

Also, notable mention: Renata and Charly are really nice and caring people and would do anything to make your stay as pleasent as can be. A+++++ Thanks again for a all the memories Mitch woodmere, ny

What a fabulous place you've made! The back yard and grounds are an oasis of heady pleasures! We had such fun finding all the treasures throughout your gorgeous home. From the animal prints to the luxurious linens to the well-stocked kitchen, we felt pampered and at home. Thanks for sharing! Our memories will last for quite some time. Hershey, PA

We had a wonderful time! Your home is beautiful and we never ran out of things to look at or books to scan! Everything in the house was top notch, from sheets to towels to soaps! It was truly a very relaxing treat to stay here! Thanks again for opening your doors to us! We will always remember our time here!
