Tony is an amazing host! The property is absolutely beautiful and the accommodations are perfect for a couple or single. Whether a weekend get away, or a longer vacation, this gem is relaxing, beautiful, and convenient to local amenities while feeling remote. We will definitely be staying again when in the area.

Thank you, John and Barbara, for allowing our little cottage, to become your home away from home, although only for a few short days. Patti and I enjoyed your extended family, and loved seeing the young ones, enjoy the water, and all it had to offer. Looking forward to your next visit, when you’ll outsmart the big catch.

Pamela and Mark were excellent guests. We immediately hit it off. Very down to earth, and friendly. It was a short visit, but my wife and I are looking forward to their next visit, when time allows it, so we can pick up, where we left off. They felt like family members. I recommend them highly, to any other hosts. Patti and I were very honored to have them, and are so glad that, we played that small part, in helping create new memories. Thank you Pam and Mark. Hope to see you both, soon. Tony

Lovely place in a beautiful and solitary setting. And is often the case, the hosts made this even more special with their extra care and quick responses. Their thoughtfulness was also obvious in the care, furnishings and extra treats! We were also close enough to interesting features to have relaxed day trips.

No Complaints!

Our host, Tony, was very hospitable and the property was in a gorgeous area not terribly far from most essentials. We barely needed to shop for them, however, as he stocked the cottage with just about anything and everything we could’ve needed. I highly recommend staying here if you happen to vacation to this area.

TREMENDOUS and Cozy Stay

Travelled up to Upstate New York to spend a weekend going to Saratoga Race Course and was so blessed to find this gem on the Mariaville Lake. The price was very fair and Tony and Patti were fantastic hosts. I can't wait to come back and do less! It's one of the most scenic VRBOs that I have ever stayed in and I can't wait to come back and just sit by the lake, enjoy a little wine, and do NOTHING. Whether you want to just relax in the wonderfully comfortable and air conditioned room, or want to sit by the lake, or go into Saratoga Springs or Schenectady, this is your spot.

Very Relaxing Business Trip

I stayed here for work, it was a 3-week trip, and I cannot say enough good things about the property or the host (Anthony). I was greeted with a bottle of wine and a kitchen pre-stocked with bottled water, muffins, snacks, coffee, and fruit. The cottage was very comfortable, and the views across Mariaville Lake were outstanding. His local suggestions for restaurants and shopping were also very helpful. My wife Robin came up for a week and also fell in love with the place. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation. Thank you, Anthony, for making my stay unforgettable.

Tony was a fantastic host. Tony's place was immaculate, well stocked. Tony made us feel lime family. Tony bent over backwards to give us insight to places to go, eat and see. He even had a bottle of wine for us when we arrived for our anniversary. His kayaks and canoes were available to use on the lake that his property was on. My wife and I will be sure to go back again. 5 stars all around.

Cozy Lake Cottage

This cottage by the lake is a very special place! We were overjoyed when we arrived to see such beautiful grounds, a gorgeous house, a picturesque lake and a very cute cottage! Tony, our host, was very welcoming and charming. It was a pleasure to get to know him and spend sometime in relaxed conversation. He was there to help us when we needed but stayed away when we didn’t. The cottage came complete with fruit, muffins, water, coffee, tea, and more - even a bottle of his homemade wine! Plus kayaks and fishing poles! We enjoyed our stay immensely and will plan on going back someday soon! Thank you, Tony! Ciao… DJ & Jan McKenney, Viper, KY
