We stayed here for a weekend for Travers horse race. It’s very close to park but also in a nice bit away from the heavy crowds. Lovely views. Big rooms and kitchen. Lovely stay!
House was very clean and even bigger than described/pictured. We had a great time staying at this house. Robin and Bob were very quick to respond about any inquiry. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again.
Fantastic property that had plenty of room and wonderful outdoor space to relax and enjoy the beautiful view of the lake. There were plenty of items in the kitchen to make it easy to prepare meals. We had a great time & recommend staying here.
The house was perfect for our needs and we were able to bring our dogs which was great for us. It is a quiet neighborhood in a good location for the things we wanted to do. We did have to keep our dogs on a leash in the yard which was ok but they love to play ball. The lake was nice for boat riding, (We rented a boat) but not great for swimming. Extremely weedy. Overall we had a very nice family vacation
This lovely 4-bedroom, dog and kid friendly family home with lake views and access was perfect for our family reunion. We loved cooking together in the wonderfully stocked and large kitchen with a table that fit all 8 of us. What a joy! We so appreciated the central air conditioning when it was 90 and humid. The kids' books and toys were a huge hit for our grandchildren. We are so grateful for Robin's and Bob's generosity, thoughtfulness and hospitality.
Our son graduated from Union college (approx 35-40 min away) this past weekend and this was the perfect spot to share with family coming out from NM & OK. Its easy to get to, the perfect view with morning coffee, and a great setting for sharing photos of the weekend with each other. Staying there was easy - no overly complicated procedures or restrictions. The spring being what it is this year (cold & wet), and busy with graduation activities, we didn’t get to take advantage of the outdoor opportunities, but it was still wonderful. Thank you!
The property was perfect for our multi-generational family traveling with our canine. Good location away from the hubbub but a short car ride to the Ballston Spa and Saratoga Springs.
Six of us stayed at this gem. Full service kitchen with outdoor grill. Clean with ample space for three couples and a miniature golden doodle. Plenty of room indoors and outdoors to enjoy a few days away from the daily grind. We were in town for a multi day concert at SPAC, which is a 15 minute drive from the house. Several restaurants are located close by. The house is located on a dead end road and is mere yards from the lake shore. There were five kayaks at the house (listing indicated 6). A quick message to the owners and the sixth kayak appeared in the yard. We enjoyed fishing on the lake using the kayaks. The weekend we stayed at the property was in the midst of high humidity and hot temperatures. No worries! The home has central air conditioning and outdoor deck tables with working umbrellas for shade. Highly recommend this space to larger groups who are seeing a show at SPAC and also want to spend your days on the lake.
Property was outstanding. Clean and very well organized. Our hosts were great- answered any questions we had promptly and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a lakeside retreat. Thank you again!
This four bedroom with 2 screened porches and large deck overlooking the lake was perfect for us to visit with family from the area. The house has a large yard with large trees for shade, as well as a large driveway providing plenty of parking. The beds and furniture were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked for cooking, and the main bathroom very spacious with large tub and separate shower. It provided a home away from home feeling. We would definitely stay again.
Such a great location, view and home! So many varieties of outdoor spaces, screened porch, outside deck, firepit, yard, so peaceful and relaxing! Indoors was flawless and super comfortable!
We had a great time! You’re house was lovely and fit our needs perfectly. The lake was just what we were looking for. One thing we would’ve liked was a place to put food in the kitchen other than the countertop — at the same time we did love the big sized kitchen packed with everything that we would need!
What a lovely location! Wonderful and clean family home. Beds were very comfortable. Loved the porches for morning coffee and a great lake view. Enjoyed our long weekend. Would definitely come back. Thanks for having us!
Nice comfortable house. We had everything we needed. Very clean and comfortable with two nice outdoor seated areas. Great location too. Lots to do nearby. One thing to mention is that the listing says it sleeps 10 but the pullout sofa is on the side indoor patio which you can’t sleep in during cold weather. So some of our party had no other place to sleep but the couch which is right next to the kitchen.. Also, the hot tub is a jet powered tub in the bathroom, not a hot tub.
Disappointing, would not return. The listed hot tub is false advertising, they've had complaints & continue to list an indoor bathtub as a hot tub. See pics of this below. This indoor bath poured black water out when my husband tried to bathe. When he tried to switch to shower it was same result. When he turned on faucet to brush teeth, a terrible sulfer smell came out that forced him to shut it off. I found there have been previous complaints about smell in these reviews. I messaged owner at 9:47pm when we tried to bathe, messaged again at 11:06pm, & then a 3rd time reached out the next morning, and heard back for the first time at 8:20am. We had no clean evening or morning water use. We left to go leaf peeping, & they dropped by at 1:30pm & said they reset the water. Owner said in message to me that this happens when the water isn't run for awhile. Zero compensation for not providing access to clean water for our stay. Lots of deflecting responsibility & not acknowledging there are repeated issues. Owner driving to house does not change what already happened to us. I would not stay again as I could not trust that the water issues have been permanently resolved, or that the listing is accurate based on continuing to list a bath as a hot tub after complaints of being misled on this. Also, the lack of any compensation for the water issue shows a lack of true responsibility. We had problems w/fireplace, as flu would not stay open during fire. Word limit reached.
We had a wonderful weekend at the house! Cozy home, nice neighbors with no issues, beautiful spot overall. The location was fantastic, very close to town/amenities. This spot on the lake was not the best for swimming, but that has nothing to do with the owners or house itself. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!
We all enjoyed staying at this property and this was the first time visiting Saratoga lake. We brought our boat and was able to launch it at the local boat launch. Our kids and grandkids enjoy paddle boarding and kayaking in the lake. The owners were very responsive to my text messages and even met us ant the property upon arrival at our request.
