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!

Adorable house in a safe established older neighborhood. Many of the homes still have the Victorian trim and architecture from a bygone era. Walking distance to downtown Ballard Spa. Town offers excellent spots for breakfast. Impeccably clean. Quiet. Great partially fenced back yard. Host welcomed us with fresh flowers. Only a few miles from SPAC; perfect to get to/from for our concert.

Great house

Simple, easy to stay in house, fit us all just fine while visiting nearby family for Christmas. The place was clearly just renovated and decorated with the intent of being a short term rental (probably the owner doesn't ever live there) Glad to see pet friendly places like this still exist!

Perfect Getaway outside Saratoga Springs

Our stay at this VRBO was absolutely amazing! The home was beautifully maintained, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, making it incredibly easy to get to Saratoga Race Course. Dana was incredibly communicative, ensuring all our needs were met and questions answered promptly. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and look forward to returning!

Perfect spot

We stayed at Dana’s place so we could head to the race track. It was extremely convenient to get to Saratoga. The house was perfect for our family of five. The house was spotless and decorated beautifully. They had everything you would need, and so sweet she even left us a bottle of wine. It was a perfect spot and we would go back without question. Thanks for a great stay!!

Horse Show perfect

We came to Saratoga for the last week of the Saratoga horse show and the house was perfect for me and my daughter and our trainer (as well as our horse show dog!). The house was easy to find, meticulously clean, and had everything we needed. We will be back next year!

Perfect choice!

Extended family get-together, and this home exceeded all expectations. The place was immaculate, and in a great location. We did have a few questions—and Dana responded quickly on a Saturday evening. I don’t think I could have made a better choice!

Saratoga visit

My family and I came up for a quick visit and vacation. This VBRO was adorable and had a spacious kitchen with lovely appliances and was extremely clean. The furniture was new and so comfortable. The four bedrooms have plenty of room, attractive designs and comfortable beds. Dana responded to all of my questions. Great location

Sweet Stay

The house is newly updated and immaculate. Pretty decor and sweet little touches, like freshly cut flowers and Saratoga chips and water - and even a treat for our son’s dog who traveled with us. We were only staying for two nights to see family on Saratoga Lake, but we wished we had more time to be able to relax and enjoy the fire pit and deck. Easy access to downtown and a quick ride down 9P to the lake.

Exceeds expectations

This is a great place. It is exceptionally clean and comfortable. Little touches like fresh flowers make it very welcoming. Communication with the host was easy and responsive. I’ve rented a lot of places near Saratoga. This is a good one. Next time we’ll book a longer stay.
