We loved staying at Paul’s Cottage for our son’s wedding week! The 5 of us were so comfortable in the house, and we enjoyed the outside space as well. Used the grill and fire pit one night- the kitchen is stocked with everything you might need. We loved the rain head shower- never ran out of hot water! Heidi left little surprises throughout the house, like fresh ground coffee, snacks, and toiletries just in case. Beds were super comfy, every room was clean! The house is about half a mile into town- great location! We would definitely stay again!

This is a charming, remodeled older home in a quiet neighborhood. Very clean with plenty of towels for our group of 5. The kitchen was well furnished and we enjoyed a few meals there. We were in Saratoga Springs for a wedding and it was centrally located. Also, close to grocery stores. We all enjoyed the upstairs rainfall shower. Only 30 minutes from Lake George. Easy communication with the owner. Would definitely stay there again if we are ever in Saratoga Springs. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great stay in Saratoga Springs. Close to town. As a fellow VRBO operator I can attest that a stay at this property offers a very nice experience for a family of 4-5. Home was clean. Kitchen was well stocked with all that is needed for dining in. Outdoor area was great for getting together with a couple families. Heidi was very accommodating and responsive to our needs..
