The property was excellent. And just as shown in the booking. The location was great - walkable to downtown and the Saratoga Race track. Loved all the horse memorabilia. The outside area is beautiful and we had a great time grilling and catching up with friends on the patio. There were several areas to gather inside as well. Plenty of parking, towels, and the kitchen was well stocked. The property is dog friendly but you wouldn’t know it. Might not be high on some lists but we appreciated having cleaning supplies and vacuum to keep neat. Great WiFi As mentioned in the booking there is only one full bath which we were concerned about with 6 adults. It was completely fine. We may have even showered/gotten ready quicker allowing more time to hang out. We will definitely stay here again!!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
The house was very nice w a lot of charm and character. Also it is in a great area close to things we really enjoyed our time and would visit this property again.
Jamie was super welcoming and even had wine ready for us upon arrival! She was super accommodating and would respond almost immediately to any questions we had. The house was so cozy and very clean and had everything we needed! Will definitely be back to the Toga house! Thank you, Jamie and Scott!
Great property! So cozy & comfortable. Hosts were very welcoming and supplied everything you could need. We were there for a wedding and this was way better than staying at a hotel. There was plenty of parking and we loved that we could bring our dog! Close to everything. Overall excellent and would stay there again.
Everything was perfect. The hosts have a complete listing of what’s nearby and what to do and see in Saratoga. We came in for a wedding so our weekend was already planned, but would be very happy to stay here again!
We loved our stay, the house was well appointed and communication was easy with the owner! Good value close to SPAC, the town of Saratoga Springs and racetrack. Highly recommend for a fun weekend!
Easy check in. Great communication. Lovely gift of wine. It all made for a very pleasant stay. The back deck is a great spot to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. The dogs enjoyed the walks in the neighborhood. Three bedrooms upstairs are all very comfortable. Close to town. All in all a great spot!
We came up for a lacrosse tournament and wanted to stay an extra day. We were extremely pleased with the house and the whole experience! The owners were very flexible and accommodating, the house was perfect for our family to relax after a long day on the fields, and even our pup could come too! We will definitely be back!
This is our second stay here and we love it. Location is great and the house was comfortable and has everything we need. We went out downtown and had a birthday dinner w family at the house. Love staying here. Hosts are responsive and welcoming.
This home is very nice, clean. Accurate description of property and amenities. Owner was very easy to deal with house was a little quirky, but worked really well. Kitchen was broken up worked well. The location was ideal. Thanks so much for our stay.
Accommodations were wonderful at this property. The owners have taken considerable care to make this a one of a kind property. Generous supplies provided in all areas, kitchen, bedroom and even laundry. Beds and linens very comfortable and clean. Neighborhood peaceful yet you are not far from downtown. Definitely would recommend!

Thank you so much for being great guests. Come back soon!
We booked this house for 7 adults to attend the DMB concert on July 5th and 6th. It was a typical hot and humid weekend but the house was comfortable, had all needed amenities and it was in a great, central location to all activities. We would have loved to have seen a horse race, especially since you can walk to the grounds, but we were a few days too early to opening day...next time!
There were 4 adults, 4 teens and 1 dog in our party and there was plenty of room. We all loved the character of the home and the layout. There was even a bonus room on the main floor that one of the teens stayed in for privacy and it had a futon and TV in the room.
The location was great. We could walk to the race track and Horse Racing Museum (about a mile or less), which we highly recommend visiting. It was a short drive to the town of Saratoga Springs (only a few minutes to drive there) and there were some great shops and restaurants. If you like donuts try Darling Doughnuts. Nice variety and delicious.
Lake George was a 25 minute drive and had a lot to offer.
One thing to know about the house if you visit in the winter - the pipes do make noise all night. We didn’t touch the thermostat the entire time and the pipes were noisy. It did not bother us, but if you are a light sleeper keep this in mind. We were also there when it was negative temps, so that may have cause more noise.
Overall, we would highly recommend staying here and would be back again, in any season.
Unfortunately my husband and I were unable to attend due to illness but the other 2 couples were able to enjoy the visit. They enjoyed the comforts of the home, visiting different pubs and restaurants but when it was time to call it a night it was like someone was banging pots and pans. I heard a recording and I couldn’t believe it. The heating system is crazy. Looking into details of the information provided by the reviews in November and February, no one else had mentioned anything about the clanking noise. It stopped and started throughout the night and all they could do was laugh about it. The baby was startled at first but more uncomfortable for the adults. This detailed information is not mentioned until after you book the house. Even with the thermostat set at 72-74 as suggested it still made noises. There was really no need to call Jamie about, can’t fix 100 year old pipes in the middle of the night. But maybe there is a solution if a plumber is called. In spite of the musical nights the guests enjoyed themselves.
We absolutely loved the property! It was a perfect location - short walk to where we were celebrating Thanksgiving and short walk to town. The property was a great space for having the family over and it comfortably accommodated the 6 of us who were staying there. I would highly recommend considering staying here for your visit to Saratoga and I know that I will likely stay again. The owners were also very easy to work with - great with communication and very accommodating.
Both property & Property owner were incredible. The house had everything we needed and more as well as being a stones throw away from the track. Walking distance to everything you need with the perfect Suburb serenity. I both would and will be staying here again in the future. A complete 5 Star experience.

About the host
Hosted by Jamie Beale
We’ve owned this home since 2000 and over the years have thoughtfully renovated and refreshed the interior to make it comfortable, welcoming, and easy to enjoy. It’s a place that truly holds a special spot in our hearts, and we take pride in sharing it with guests who appreciate a well-cared-for space. We love hosting and hope you’ll feel relaxed, at home, and able to make great memories here—just as we have.
Why they chose this property
This location is perfect for summer, fall, winter and spring getaways. Perfect home for family reunions, wedding parties and just a weekend getaway. It is only minutes from the Adirondack mountains, Lake George and all nearby lakes and mountains. Tons of hiking trails from small to expert. Top ski resorts only a short drive. Only a block and a half from historic Saratoga Race Course. Racing season is early July to Labor day. Walking and quick drive to downtown, Skidmore and many of the historic sites to add to your visit list. A plethora of top notch restaurants and dining/drinking options.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property unique is the rare combination of space, comfort, and an unbeatable location that works beautifully in every season. The home is designed to comfortably host a wide range of stays—from family gatherings and wedding parties to race-weekend groups or relaxed weekend getaways—without feeling crowded or impersonal.
Owned and cared for by us for many years, the property has been thoughtfully renovated over time to blend character with modern convenience. It’s a home meant to be lived in and enjoyed, offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere rather than a typical short-term rental feel.
Location is a standout feature. Being just a block and a half from the historic Saratoga Race Course is a true rarity, especially for larger groups. Guests can easily walk to the track during racing season (early July through Labor Day), while still enjoying a peaceful, residential setting. Downtown Saratoga Springs, Skidmore College, and many historic attractions are close by, making it easy to explore without relying on a car.
Beyond Saratoga, the property serves as an ideal home base for outdoor adventure, with quick access to the Adirondack Mountains, Lake George, nearby lakes, hiking trails for all skill levels, and top ski resorts. Combined with Saratoga’s exceptional dining and nightlife scene, the property offers a stay that seamlessly blends relaxation, culture, and adventure—something truly special and hard to find in one place.
