Spacious home on a beautiful lake

My husband and I stayed with a another couple in this beautiful home on the lake. The main floor has a large kitchen/living room area and a spacious sunroom where we enjoyed our coffee every morning looking out at the great view of the lake. There were several options to have our meals including a large kitchen table, however, because the weather was so nice we chose to eat either at the table in the sunroom or at the one on the deck. The lake is very clean and we took advantage of the kayaks that were at the property to explore the lake. The upstairs bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. Michael is a great host! He responded quickly to any questions we had. Looking forward to coming back to this home again soon!

Beautiful lakefront vacation home

The multiple porches and dock were ideal, and we loved to kayak on the beautiful lake. The communication with the owner was very good.

Lovely

Our family of 5 enjoyed the very roomy, clean and comfortable lake house. Took full advantage, daily, of the kayaks & zero gravity chairs on lakeside dock. The fishing was good right off the dock as well as out in kayak. The house flowed nicely from Kitchen to sunroom. Bedrooms very spacious and we all slept great on comfy beds! Very quiet lake. Our host was very kind. Thank you , again. We hope to visit another time, God willing. M.L.

Lovely lake retreat

We had a wonderful stay at this Galway lake rental. Our host, Michael, was friendly and gracious when we arrived, showing us around and making us comfortable with his home. He even came by when I called with a few questions about lighting and fan controls. The rental itself was everything the pictures depicted. Just beautiful, roomy and relaxing with an amazing view of the lake. We kayaked, walked, had a day at the races and enjoyed fires at night in the outdoor fire pit. We loved being at the lake and hope to come back. Susan Naple

Shortcomings but overall enjoyable

We rented this property because of it's proximity to Saratoga Springs and it's location on a lake. We did not receive checkin information or a key and sent messages with no response. The house was open when we arrived. There was no key for us to lock the house. The house was tastefully decorated and clean with the exception of cobwebs in all rooms. The cooking pans were aged, and difficult to clean. The AC in the front bedroom facing the lake could not be used because the remote did not work and we did not have a phillips screwdriver or batteries or directions. TV in front sunroom did not work because it could not connect to the internet/wifi. We could not use the wifi until Monday when Michael came to the house with batteries and discovered the paper with wifi password and username were wrong. Linens and mattresses were superior. Towels and toiletries were provided and excellent quality. The phone number we were given was the old property manager number that was listed on the listing. There was no instruction booklet about using appliances or the check-in or check-out process. Michael gave us a key on Monday, the 3rd day of our stay, changed batteries and showed us how to use A/C. The kayaks had to be cleaned as they were covered in slugs, dirt, leaves and debris. The furniture on the decks had to be cleaned with a hose because they were also dirty. The exterior of the house is not as clean as the photos indicate. In spite of these pitfalls, we enjoyed our stay.
