First time staying at the cardinals nest. The house was beautifully decorated inside. Both full baths were updated and gorgeous. The four bedrooms fit our family perfectly. Just a short ride from downtown Saratoga Springs and the racetrack. We had an awesome time!

The house is was perfect for our family of 5. There were some toiletries already in the bathroom, which gave us one less thing to pack. It was perfectly located as we were visiting family in Ballston Spa and Clifton Park. An added bonus was the smooth and easy check-out process!

The Cardinal's Nest is roomy and comfortable. The reservation process was easy and seamless through the Vrbo app, and the property was BETTER than it looked online. The photos really don't do it justice. This is a great place for your family or a large group of friends. You won't feel like you're on top of one another.

Wonderful host and perfect location!

Our group of 6 stayed here when we volunteered at Farm Aid located at SPAC. It was such a short drive and located near so many wonderful dining locations and shops. The host was so responsive, and the house was immaculate! We would definitely stay here again!
