Amazing house just outside of Saratoga

A great property on the lake just outside of Saratoga. It is quiet and less than 10 minutes to anywhere in Saratoga. The owners were great. They were very accommodating and gave a us a long list of thinga we could do and places to eat. I highly recommend this rental.

Nice stay

The only issue we had was a noise that recurred from an appliance in the downstairs that was some type of water pump. It was continuous and kept one of the guests awake at night.

5 stars does not do justice to this property! We were there for 4 nights. Great welcoming packet from owners with great suggestions to explore the area Communication with the owner was seamless! This home was immaculately clean, well stocked with everything you could imagine! Deck looking out at lake was an amazing backdrop to our evenings of music and and wine! Extra note——. Neighbors extremely pleasant! If you are ever planning a visit to the Saratoga area you need to take a look at this property! We will definitely return to this house the next time we visit the Saratoga region! 5 STARS for sure! Thank you, Brian and Christine for being excellent hostess home owners!
