Camp Shady Rest was perfect for a weekend getaway on the lake. It was very relaxing spending time on the lake and we enjoyed using the kayak as well! The house had all the essentials and was very cozy. The location was great-restaurants/coffee shops nearby and a short ride down town and to the race track. We plan to return to Camp Shady Rest in the future!

Great location on the lake, and a short drive into Saratoga Springs. The availability of the kayak and barbecue pit were very nice. The condo is mostly well stocked. We needed more towels for the three of us and more than one roll of toilet paper, but we were able to get some just down the street. The location and views are amazing! The cost was very high for this rental considering the age of the house, but it looks like everything in the area was this way. We would return for the right price.

We're so glad the lake location, kayak, barbecue pit, and those amazing sunset views made for a memorable stay. As one of the original Saratoga Lake cottages, this camp has a lot of charm tied to its age, and our pricing reflects that character while remaining competitive with the area. Regarding towels, our Evolve-recommended cleaning team confirms that six large beach towels and six full towel sets are left for every stay, which meets industry standard for a group of three over a short visit. There should've been 3 rolls of toilet paper, so we apologize for that, and we'll look into it. We appreciate the feedback and are glad the covered patio, front lawn, and kayak access added to the experience.
