Amazing weekend getaway

We stayed here with a group of friends over a long weekend. David was incredibly helpful in advance of our stay and provided all the information we would need. The house itself did not disappoint! It is as described, very roomy and perfect for a group. The rooms are beautiful and the beds are very comfortable. The outdoor space is very large and fantastic for frisbee or other sports (or just spending the day lying out). The walk to town through the park is really quick! Was easy to get anywhere we needed in Saratoga.

Great Place, Perfect Location, Wonderful People

We stayed in this lovely home, entertaining family and friends, for a week in the fall of 2014. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The house was great, exactly what we were looking for; the location was perfect, right in the heart of Saratoga Springs; and the owner was wonderful to work with, willing to do anything necessary to make us feel welcome and at home. The house and the area were described perfectly by the owner. There were no surprises. If we decide to go back to the Saratoga Springs area in the future, we will definitely try to rent this house again. I recommend this property without slightest reservation. You might be able to find a less expensive place in the area, but you will not find a nicer house, a more perfect location, or a more accommodating owner.

Outstanding

Just rented this house for a week at the beginning of race season in Saratoga. What a pleasure - great location, 10 minutes walk to the track and fie minutes to Broadway in town. Best location around and the owners were incredible hosts and were always available to answers any questions. The house was well stocked and the kitchen was great for cooking, the bar-b-que on the front deck was awesome, we had a fantastic cookout. Hot tub in the back was very nice as well. Overall, the house was great, highly recommend.

Great Location, Beautiful Home

This beautiful home provided a great setting for our annual girls' weekend get-away. We were comfortable relaxing, catching-up and generally enjoying our weekend. The hot tub was easy to access and use, the decorating was inviting and well done and the kitchen was well equipped. We walked into town for dinner and other outings several times throughout the weekend, and did easily walk to the track while out walking. Many thanks to the owners for their kindness and the use of their fabulous home.
