Hosts were accommodating and very responsive. Great location in a nice quiet neighborhood. Very clean and had everything we needed. Muffins were a nice touch too!
We really enjoyed our stay. Hosts clearly have thought about little ways to make guests feel welcome and comfortable (q tips in bathroom, muffins when you arrive, lots of towels). Pool and yard lovely and great for kids. Would definitely return!

Disliked: Listing accuracy
The photo shown for this property was misleading and the pool was an above ground pool that was not easily accessible for elderly people,

James we are sorry you think that the pool photos were misleading. We clearly show 3 photos of the entire above ground pool as well as clearly describing it in the property details as being an "above ground 30'X15' pool. We also have designed a wide, short stairway with railing up to the pool deck as well. We have never had anyone complain about this before, and we're sorry you were disappointed.
The apartment was immaculate. Perfect for a mother daughter(2 moms/2daughters) weekend. Beautiful home. Plenty of towels. Loved that we had waters and muffins awaiting our arrival. They are great hosts! Pool was crystal clear and warm. Pretty close to the track. Definitely will be back .

Thank you for staying at our home. We enjoyed your visit and truly hope you can come again! We're glad you enjoyed your stay. It was so nice meeting all of you! Happy Trails...👍
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.
Excellent communication from the host, easy check-in, and a very clean, comfortable space. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the overall setup was thoughtfully equipped.The only reason I’m leaving feedback is to help future guests set their expectations, as I didn’t see these details mentioned in other reviews.The king bedroom is very spacious, has a door, and includes a closet. The queen bed, however, is in an open area with no closet space, and you must walk through that sleeping area to access the bathroom. I think this layout works very well for a family, but it was a little inconvenient for two couples.The bathroom shower ceiling is low. Our 6’3” son’s head touched the ceiling in the shower (there’s a small step up), and my 5’10” husband had to duck slightly to fit comfortably under the showerhead.One other thing to note is that a sliding door with slats separates the rental from the portion of the house occupied by the family. While this wasn’t a problem, it did make us feel there was a little less privacy than we expected.Overall, we had a very positive stay. The cleanliness, comfortable beds, and exceptional communication from the host made for a great experience. I simply wanted to provide a few details that may help future guests decide if the layout is the right fit for their group
Great stay at the home. Easy check in and excellent communication throughout. Unit is as described and beds are very comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked . Our granddaughter stayed two nights and the enjoyed the playground equipment in the yard, and a lovely near by park.

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.

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!
