About this property

Walking Distance to Everything! Pet Friendly with Fully Fenced Yard! Track/SPAC

Your family will be close to everything when you stay at this cozy, centrally-located, pet friendly, home. The Horse Lover is conveniently located next to restaurants, track, SPAC, hospital, bars, and everything you could need. It is right next to Railroad Run so you can enjoy walking & cycling safely away from traffic.

It offers brand new appliances, furniture and linens and is across the street from Market32 so you can grab & go or get groceries and cook in this spacious, well-stocked chef’s kitchen. Market32 also has a full Starbucks inside, so if you're a fan... you're in luck!

There are some really great restaurants in walking distance too. Mama Mia's Italian Restaurant is across the street and is a local's favorite.

Railroad Run is right next to the house. It's an amazing walking/cycling paved and/or gravel path that is super dog friendly! You can use this path to walk to the State Park (just 1.0 miles away) including SPAC, YMCA's awesome health club and more! There are also bicycles available to rent on the RailTrail so you can cycle around town too.

There are 2 bathrooms on the 1st floor. One bathroom has a large shower and the other one is a 1/2 bath, with no shower.

The Horse Lover sleeps 5 comfortably, but can fit 6 "if you REALLY love each other" because 2 people would need to sleep on the full-size sleeper sofa. You will need permission for 6 guests, bc we prefer 5 or less. Here's a link to how to use the Sleeper Sofa:

HEIGHT ALERT! The Horse Lover was built in 1940 and it's charming structure can accommodate folks that are <=6 feet tall in the Primary Bedroom (upstairs). Our tall guests are best suited for sleeping downstairs... or just 'MIND YOUR HEAD' upstairs.

FENCED YARD! The yard is fully fenced and secured so you can relax while your pups wander and explore (just keep the gates closed). Not only is the yard fenced, there is a new stone patio with a propane-powered fire pit and very comfortable outdoor furniture to relax after a long day at the track or an evening at SPAC. There's also an eating area outside to sit and sip. You'll love the peace and privacy!

EV Charging across the street!

About the host

Hosted by Robin Baker

Host profile image
I am a software product manager and love to work remotely. The ability to work from anywhere is the reason I decided to create short-term-rentals in FL and NY. My goal is to provide the same amenities, that I like to have when I travel, to our guests including families, adventurers, outdoor recreation lovers, sports fans, beach lovers, concert goers, and remote workers alike! I love to hear from our guests so I can continually improve your get-away experience. We know you have a lot of choices for your stays, so Thank You for choosing our property to spend your precious time. We hope you enjoy every minute of your experience in our home.

Why they chose this property

Saratoga Springs is a very special place that offers nature, entertainment, horse racing, night life, arts, natural spring water, and more. The Horse Lover is located within 1 mile of almost everything you could want to do in town. You really don't even need to bring a car with you when you stay at the Horse Lover.

Right across the street is a PriceChopper Market32 with fresh food and prepared food options for grab and go! We provide a rolling grocery cart for you to run over and get what you need for your stay. Even though we provide coffee in the house, there's a Starbucks in there too for those of you that are espresso or latte aficionados!

If you are a traveling nurse or medical worker, you are 1 mile to Saratoga Hospital.

For track lovers, you have a 1 mile walk to go Win Big! Or a $10 Uber ride. It costs at least $20 to park at the track so it's best to walk or Uber anyway.

Concert goers can use the Railroad Run trail right next door to the house to walk safely away from traffic to SPAC.

In 2024 we will provide a brand new deck w/grill and an outdoor dining table & chairs for chillaxing in the beautiful weather. Also, we will provide a fully fenced yard so your pups can run free and be kept safely away from the traffic.

We're excited to host you and look forrward to hearing from you!
