We had a wonderful stay on Lake Saratoga. We chose this spot due to its proximity to Saratoga Springs and a lacrosse tournament our son was playing in for the weekend. Short drive to grocery stores, restaurants, Saratoga Spa State Park, the horse races and more. The view from the cabin is beautiful and it’s literally on the water. It’s a very peaceful neighborhood too. Great amenities. Jeff and his family are very welcoming and great hosts. Glad we booked with them!

This was a great stay for our family. We went fishing and went into town. It’s not too far from the city and close to Saratoga springs. The hosts were really helpful and friendly

First, the positives:Ideal location with beautiful view of the lake.Nice little house with functional appliances and a shared private dock.Great back deck for outdoor dining and relaxation.Excellent fishing off the dock.Negatives:Despite booking weeks in advance, we heard nothing about how to access the property until I reached out to the owner the day before our arrival.Only one of the three rooms with a bed have air conditioning, so everyone will need to sleep with door open.The two smart TV's kept losing wifi signal causing them to cut out. We purchased an ethernet cable to fix the TV in the main room's signal after spending a lot of our own time to diagnose the issue. The owner said both TV's were on when we arrived to insure there were no issues - why would this step be taken if they were both working reliably?There was a loud dehumidifier sitting on a towel running in the main room when we arrived. Owner seemed annoyed when I contacted them to see if it needed to continue to run.On the third night of our four night stay, we had an infestation of at least 100 lake flies. We were forced to stay in a hotel at additional expense, as they were on the ceilings and dropping into the beds. The owner accused us of leaving a door open, which we didn't, offering no financial remediation. We did the same things every day and only had the flies the one night.The owner really doesn't treat you like a paying guest, more like they're doing you a favor.

We appreciate your feedback and agree that the Yellow Lake House is an exceptional property on Saratoga Lake. Our correspondence before and during your stay is thoroughly documented on the VRBO site, and we value your positive remarks about how lovely the house is. It’s important to note that we provided detailed instructions for the property, including how to access the home and use its amenities. This included addressing your numerous questions about the (2) 48-inch smart TVs, a dehumidifier, our canoe, and the private dock, which is available for fishing, swimming, and accommodating guests with watercraft. We are pleased that you and your family took advantage of these features, as well as the fully furnished front (not back) deck with a gas grill overlooking the lake. Historically, our (2) AC units have successfully maintained a comfortable 70-degree temperature throughout the 900 sq. ft. Yellow Lake House. We offer extra AC window units upon request, and it’s important to mention that you did not reach out to us about this during your visit. While we recognize that the challenges you experienced with the smart TVs were frustrating, we must note that similar issues have not been reported by other guests before or after your stay. Despite our efforts to address your daily requests, it became clear that we were not meeting your expectations for this rental. If you seek a different experience, a hotel in the City of Saratoga might be better aligned with your needs, as our property is set in a rural area on Saratoga Lake, which comes with unique wildlife and natural surroundings. We also want to clarify that your comment about flying insects, particularly since you noted the issue did not persist on the final night of your stay, suggests that any insects on the third night likely came in through an open door or window. We wish you well in your future travels and are confident you will find a property on VRBO that better meets your vacation needs.

Lakeside retreat.

Everything we needed for a relaxing waterfront getaway. Property was well equipped, mornings and evenings spent kayaking and relaxing on the lakefront deck. Saratoga Springs Travers Day weekend a short ride away making it a winning combination. Great restaurants nearby. Jeff and Amy were great hosts. Definitely on our agenda for a future return visit. 😁

Location, Location, Location! & a serviceable quirky cottage for two friends

A more idyllic quiet lake location can't be found. Jeff is very friendly and responsive to questions. The spacious front deck looks out on gorgeous lakefront and hills and has lovely furniture and an umbrella for shade all day long. My friend & I ate most meals there (I burned mosquito coils--it's buggy but hey, that's lake life). The cottage quirkiness is in the layout and furnishings. Fresh flowers were a nice touch. Bedrooms are cozy small (no closets), & storage in the 2 main bedrooms is minimal. My friend & I would hesitate to call the 3rd 'bedroom' a bedroom. It's tiny & not a place we'd want to use as a bedroom as it has a futon on the floor--maybe suitable for a small child if the odds & ends stored on open shelves in there were removed. Bathroom is on the opposite side from bedrooms--so a bit of a walk if one has to get up during the night. But it's spacious with a nice washer/dryer, tub/shower (with a very slow drain). However, there is nowhere to place toiletries as the vanity counter is too small. Linens & towels are plentiful & plush. A small table with shelves in there would be very useful--especially since it's a shared bathroom (there is no space in bedrooms to keep toiletries). Kitchen is very functional; the eclectic mix of well-used dishware could benefit from a purge to remove numerous chipped plates & mugs. Some of the teflon pots/pans should be pitched because teflon finish is worn off/very scratched. There was no kayak; there was an old canoe.

Nice lakefront house

The lake house is a cute property in a nice quiet location. Lake and dock access is through a small piece of community property which is a very nice park-like setting. The updated house is clean and comfortable with an open floor plan. The owner is very responsive and easy to work with. Things to know: no closets in the bedrooms / third bedroom is very small / tub drains very slowly. I would rent again and would recommend for couples or small groups.

Thanks very much for your kind thoughts John, our Lake House is certainly closet challenged, 900 sq ft left few options during our renovations, we opted for more open space & is why bedroom 3 is set up w/ a single sofa/sleeper, dresser & armoire. Didn’t know about the slow drain; we’ll def have Cassandra Cleaning org address that:)

About the host

Host profile image
My wife and I live on Saratoga Lake, we have a grown son (Matthew) and daughter (Jacqueline). I own and run an environmental firm (NETC) which provides consulting, drilling and remediation services to our clients in NY and NE. We spend as much time on the water (swimming, boating, windurfing & fishing) as we can. When I'm not on the water I'm riding (HDvdsn & Peddle varieties), running, working in my perennial gardens or expanding the back nine wood lot on our property. I'm an avid skier, primarily skiing in the Adirondack Mountains and since 1986 I've been a member of the National Ski Patrol. I enjoy staying active and don't spend much time inside ... "work hard and play harder".
