A gracious and comfortable home we have stayed in twice now—and I’m noting kitchen design features for my own someday renovation!

Thanks so much for your comments, Colleen. We’re so pleased that your stay was enjoyable. We were happy to host you and your group, and we hope to be able to do so again on your next trip back to Saratoga! Thanks again!
Great stay in Saratoga. The house is very well kept and Chris was easy to work with and interested in ensuring we had what we needed. We rented the house for a golf weekend. The house is located very close to a couple of excellent courses and very convenient to downtown restaurants and pubs. Early September weather was unbeatable. The house and location had everything we needed.
The house was absolutely perfect for our girls weekend getaway. Beautiful home, super spacious, very clean and very cozy. The heated pool was also a great addition.

We met friends here for a weekend getaway. Home very clean with all amenities and plenty of cozy space for three couples, could have had four. Great location close to everything. Top notch hospitality and communication from host from the beginning and all the way through our stay. Don't hesitate to book!

Great property , loved the easy walk to Saratoga racecourse . House is well equipped better than most I’ve stayed in . Would be nice to be able to control the a/c as it was a little warm overnight for us but would recommend highly to anyone looking to stay in Saratoga . We really enjoyed our stay welcome drinks and chips was a nice touch .

Hi Joanne
Thanks so much for the very kind review.
I’m glad that the location worked out for you and your group. I’m so sorry if there was any confusion re: the A/C. It can be controlled via the NEST thermostat. We appreciate the feedback and will be sure to make this clearer in the house ‘welcome book.’ Thanks again!
Location is ideal. We were going th the Skidmore graduation and getting to and from campus and downtown was a snap. Our host provided refreshment in the fridge and the floor plan allowed for both group gathering and private time. The house is finely appointed and we lacked for nothing. The pool was in the process of being opened. It was cleaned on Saturday and was awaiting final prep and warming up. It will be great for any renter in the summer. 5 stars and I'd be happy to add a sixth if I could.
Thanks so much for the great review. We’re so pleased that you had a great stay and your review is very meaningful to us. We hope to welcome you back again.
The house was perfect, well located, very clean, the communication was quick. This had been my favorite rental, not because it was the biggest or had the nicest features but because I felt like a wanted guest in someone’s house. The little things left, some beverages in the fridge, plenty of paper towels, lots of extra food supplies so I didn’t need to buy another shaker of salt. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Thanks so much, Leta! We really appreciate the kind review and are so pleased that our property worked well for your stay. Hope to welcome you back on your next trip to Saratoga.
My friends and I stayed at this house while we were in town for our 5-year college reunion. There was plenty of space for all of us (6 of us total), and everything was very clean and tidy! We were not able to use the pool much due to chilly weather but we enjoyed sitting on the back patio nonetheless. The location was also great -- only took 7ish minutes to get into downtown Saratoga! Would definitely stay here again.
This house was great for our long weekend. Plenty of room for 4 adults and two kids, had planned on 2 more adults but they had to cancel. We would have had enough room for all. Inside and outside was well furnished and classy. Outdoor pool area was great, had bad weather so we didn’t get to enjoy but I’m sure it’s nice. Great location close to downtown Saratoga and the track. Would recommend!

Thanks so much for the review, Patrick. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Hope to have you back next time you are in Saratoga.
Lovely, recently updated property. Clean, roomy, and nice neighborhood near the track. Easy walk to Congress park. Having the pool was a plus! We really appreciated how well stocked the house was, from drinks to beach towels and sunscreen! The hosts, Chris and Amy, were quick to respond and even sent a message the day of check in to make sure all was good! Thank you for a lovely experience!

Thanks so much, for your kind review, Dina. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and that the location worked out so well. We would love to welcome you back again!
We were in town for parents' weekend at Skidmore College with a number of family members. We loved this house. The pictures don't convey just how nice it is, especially since it looks for modest from the outside. We had a really nice evening cooking in the spacious and well-stocked kitchen, with space for everyone to hang out. The gas fireplace was a nice centerpiece later on for talking (and not resorting to TV watching). The extra bedroom and bath are at the basement level with an additional lounge area AND a bar, and made a really cool private area for a bachelor uncle. He was thrilled to discover it. The kids took advantage of basketball in the driveway. And we enjoyed a morning stroll to the market for breakfast. We'll be back!
