Bungalow, suiter eller hjemme på East Side of Saratoga Lake, Navy PKG MainHouseFall

Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so glad you and your cocker enjoyed the bungalow, the enclosed backyard, and the pier across the street. Lance enjoyed meeting his new friend, too! It sounds like you made the most of your visit with fishing, Saratoga, Lake George, and a ride aboard the Mohican. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back!

Tina was a gracious, responsible guest! We would love to have her and her guests again.

Thank your entire group. They were a pleasure to work with.

Thank you, hope we see you next summer!

Thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed everything except our less than perfect weather this year. Hope to see you again!!

Lovely gracious family! They explored here and Saratoga near and far as they had family in sports activity businesses in the region. We look forward to having them again.

Thank you so much. We are so glad you enjoyed your family's stay, appreciate it when our renters enjoy our efforts, and would love to see you again!

Thank you for your review! The lock is on the door handle, and I verbally provide that to renters as I don't want non renters to know it. I provide it when the renter asks but most of our renters don't bother to lock. Most critical information is posted on the refrigerator and in the guest book in which most guests don't comment directly there.

Enjoyed you and your family people and Goldens! Hope to see you again. And thank you for the lovely review that has come in to VRBO's review site.

Thank you. We enjoyed having you. I will check at the NY State Boat Lauch and see how long aboat trailer can be parked. That is where we launch our boats. We are planning to replace the bungalows awning with a color coordinated one for next year. Have an enjoyable winter. We hope our weather is perfect next year.

Its especially enjoyable to be good hosts when you have gracious guests. Harry's family is in the vicinity and he is familiar with this upstate area even though he visits now from the West Coast. We are looking forward to being their hosts again.

Lovely guests! Although we spray the boarders of our property to prevent ticks and they also spray the buildings for all bugs in early summer and early fall, it simply is not possible to eliminate or desirable to eliminate all bugs near a lake, streams, lake and lots of trees. We also need pollinators.

We enjoyed having them too." We love it when guests are happy!"

Relative to most properties around the lake, this property is quite private even if not secluded. The bichons do like to say hello to dog friendly people. The bungalow has no houses or cottages to its sides or back....trees mostly and it is normally pretty quiet. It is not readily seen by people passing. Our home is about 60 ft away with occupied rooms facing away from the bungalow. The lake frontage, dock and deck is not secluded as there are other docks about every 75-100 feet. I am happy you had a nice week. Hope to see you again!

Lovely professionals and great guests! We were happy to have them. The family was teens with lots of interests. Hope to see them again sometime.

Diane's review is in complete contradiction to the reviews by several recent renters as well as the facts. It is also not consistent with repeat renters opinions. I took photos immediately upon their departure. The only time she made any complaints was upon leaving. Our water pressure does go low in the middle of the night while our water treatment system is back flushing for a period. That time frame is used so as to not interfere with normal activities. We have a lake sand beach, not an ocean beach. Most of our visitors love sitting in the hammock swings or chairs on the wood deck under the tree, or out on the large deck at the end of out dock. It appears to me she fabricated these complaints to try to get a refund upon deciding that it was more fun at home than out and about in the heat. The following was our answer to her for that request. "The website clearly states no refunds on our rentals. You chose to leave early. You did not ask us to fix anything or complain of anything on arrival or while you were here, therefore depriving us of the opportunity to make anything right that you felt may have been wrong. However I have relisted it and if it rents (as it is prime season and we normally stay rented during track season) we can refund the amount we receive (not the full amount the site charges). I am sorry your husband had bronchitis a few weeks ago and still coughing from it, and that we had a miserable heat wave during the beginning of your planned vacation. It’s certainly no fun to be out and about in the mid 90's heat, especially since his goal was going to the thoroughbred race track (which is viewed as the most fabulous in the country). I have authorized the refund for your deposit for damage protection."

Looking forward to seeing your family again. We are pleased that they especially enjoyed our kayaks and lake.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Most kids all ages love the toys and the little kids enjopy that castle with the moutain climb and slide.

When Veronica Aurelio notified me they had left due to her various allegations, I immediately checked the bungalow. We had been up very late, so they had ample time to object before abruptly leaving with all their things except their dirt and crumbs. The glass top stove had been carefully cleaned. They left the bed unmade but it had been made with fresh linens straight from the dryer, so any crumbs had to have been theirs. I did not see any hair on the bedding and applied wide packaging tape on the bedspread and blanket to look for hair. The tape did not get hair stuck to it. The quilt is navy and white triangles and squares and had been washed. Property and houses are sprayed for various bugs (primarily to prevent/limit ticks) but a TINY cobweb did appear in only one ceiling corner and there was no spider present. No “wads of cobwebs” nor “old nasty cobwebs” were present as alleged. The bungalow did not smell of anything. Someone with allergies could have a reaction as there are dense woods east of the bungalow and we have had a rainy season. Roof and the drywall on the ceiling were checked for leaks that would indicate any water/leakage problems. None were found. I had very recently taken down closet curtain (which is up to the ceiling) to wash and reinstalled it 6 inches from their alleged black mold area and I would have seen it. There was something light grey there after they left which was easily wiped off. This was not mold of any kind and the gray did not make and still does not make any logical sense. Nothing had been there prior to their arrival and nothing has reappeared since. We have had a lot of rain since and nothing has appeared on our drywall since their departure. Everything had been washed and cleaned upon opening our bungalow for the season. It had been used prior to their coming in without complaints other than the weather was rainy. It was cleaned before their arrival. Shelves, drawers, counters, fans, ac, floors, cabinets, stoves, windows, bathroom, and deck were all cleaned. I thought SINCE he discussed his poor health in much detail including his serious lung problems (after entering the unit), that he might have HAD some reaction due to the weather or something and they decided to come up with all the allegations and exaggerations to get a refund. FYI my site indicates we are pet friendly, and they never once asked if a pet had recently been staying there. There was a dog staying previously this season.

I have just found the review she gave on us in VRBO. I had not seen it previously. Nothing has deteriorated as claimed in Christine's the renter's reviews in or around the bungalow. I have been told many times and recently I have great kitchen supplies in this bungalow and beautiful grounds around it. There are no rotting smells and never a RAT. It is cleaned before and after every renter. This summer has had the worst weather ever. It has either been too hot to go out safely, too rainy (at least not drought), or windy all making nature hard to keep up with particularly on the beach. However, there is/was a wood deck area on the beach with Adirondack chairs, a hammock and two swings and a dock leading to a brand new 12 x16 ceder deck on an aluminum frame with 3 lime green (new) Adirondack chairs, a very nice umbrella in a table that the terrible wind blew over just before you came and had to be rescued and was to be remounted the day you arrived. That is the first time/year that table ever blew over and immediately recovered to serve guests. My garden plants went over for the first time ever as well. I have never said the bungalow was on the water. It is a short walk to the beach and the lake can be seen from the living room windows, yard and from the bungalows deck as well, even if not a 360. Many renters also love going out on the deck over the water to enjoy the evening breezes and the sunset's 360 views. The windows have curtains and no one except the birds can see in those rooms. Actually the living room had brand new shades and the 2 bedrooms have very nice wood VB shades. The shower is on a slide for various heights of people and adjusts and aims where you point it or you can unhook it and hold it close to various locations. I don't advertise a playground and the slide was only for very small children of which no small children have been included in any reservations for some time. Christine did not even reserve for 2 children of any age but only for 2 adults. There is a combination lock at the door if anyone desires to use it. We are fenced and in a safe area. There is a very nice new aluminum ladder on the new dock to access into the natural lake. We do not advertise having a pool but a lake. It is a natural lake with fish and weed growth. I am sorry her children expected pool conditions during an unusally hot horrible wet windy summer. This is not advertised as a 5 star resort with all those services anywhere. This is a comfortable bungalow upstate style with internet, TV, and AC.

Thank you for the supportive review. We hope you are able to visit Saratoga again.
