Wonderful hosts, great place , super close to SPAC
We enjoyed how easy it was to check in, we all felt at home and found the space large and accommodating. The back yard and pool were a great place to relax. A well equipped kitchen, some generous amenities and attentive, accessible , hosts made the experience memorably fun.
Location was perfect and house met all of our needs for the night. Was able to take advantage of the pool right after check in and before the rain came. Great communication throughout the entire booking/stay process with the hosts!

Thank you Darren. Hope you can visit again sometime.
The place was exceedingly clean and the beds were very comfortable. The only problem was a lack of ports for electronics, so bring your own.

Thank you Pamela for your review. We do provide extra extention chords in both rooms because the wall plugs may be hidden behind furniture. Other than that, we hope you enjoyed your stay.

It was wonderful hosting Michael and his family. We highly recommend them and would love to have them back again anytime. They left the space in perfect condition!
Dave and Kathy were great hosts! The place was clean, very comfortable, and an overall great place to stay. They were amenable to any requests we had and were enthusiastic in making sure we were happy. I would recommend this 10/10.

Thank you Steve. It was a pleasure to host you and your guests. We hope you are able to return again sometime.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The hosts Dave and Kathy were incredibly welcoming and communicative. We stayed for 5 nights during Thanksgiving to visit family that lives nearby. During our visit, the first big snow of the season arrived, and the hosts were helpful and kind to help us deal with the weather. The beds were some of the most comfortable we’ve experienced in a VRBO, and the neighborhood was quiet. It was also in the perfect location to get around town. Thank you for all the hospitality, we hope to stay again soon!
Dave and Kathy accommodated us at the very last minute for our trip to see our family. Our other stay fell through and Dave and Kathy were wonderful. They even helped by waving a fee for my smallest child. It was so warm and friendly. It snowed and they were nice enough to shovel and let us know that we left our car interior lights on. What a wonderful stay and a great home away from home.

Kristen, thank you for staying with us. Thank you for your kind words and review. We're so thankful that we were able to help you out in a pinch. We hope you get to visit the area again and stay again in the future. Happy trails.
Clean, pleasant, and affordable compared to what else was out there. Very good communication with the owners, too.
Nice coffee pods and mini-muffins for us, and comfy beds. We didn't use the pool. This checked all our boxes.

As stated, we are probably one of the best deals in the area as far as location, pricing, and amenities. We love hosting and we appreciate if you give our place a look. We've worked hard to create a beautiful experience inside and out. Our backyard is a gem! It can be shared with a maximum of 6 people. Good bang for your buck.
It was a very short visit for Eileen and her family but they were wonderful guests. We hope they get to visit again for a longer time.
About the host
Hosted by Dave and Kathy
My husband Dave and I have lived in the area for decades and raised our 3 children here. We are retired Grandparents now and love hosting guests as well as traveling ourselves. We are active and love living in the Saratoga area. There is so much to do here from horse racing, to concerts, to fun on the lakes and in the Adirondack Mountains. There are plenty of parks and biking trails and many community events throughout the year. We live in a quiet neighborhood just off the beaten path with plenty of space to relax and unwind.
Why they chose this property
Quiet and safe wooded neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
Large space, inside and out. Safe and close enough to downtown and all the action without the noise. Sleep peacefully!
