We had a big group stay for the Belmont Stakes weekend and it worked out great for us! Very clean, close enough to town/the track to easily get ubers, and plenty of room for the 16 of us to all hang out. Great experience and would definitely go back again!

Great property with great Hosts

My entire wedding party stayed at the castle together and we loved all the space and rooms. The Karaoke machine was a bunch of fun and the kitchen was massive with everything we needed in it, including some seasonings that we forgot to bring ourselves. The hosts were also extremely attentive to their property and constantly available for questions during our stay. We'd love to come back again sometime!

Great bachelor party spot

It's hard to find a place large enough for 16 people. This once was perfect and left plenty of room to spare. No nearby neighbors. Huge patio and yard. Solid kitchen and grill set ups. Great for a bachelor party!

Beautiful property near Saratoga!

My husband and I rented this property for a small intimate wedding celebration and we couldn't have been happier with our decision!! The host was extremely communicative and professional as well as accommodating! The home had anything you could need or want - from a beautiful backyard, ping pong, pool, firepits, hot tub, karaoke - you name it! 10/10 would recommend to friends or family!!

Great Owners

I always know when a property manager or owner is there for check in the house is going to be in good condition!! And thanks to owners Lucy and Bill the process still held true. The amount of entertaining space in the backyard was awesome, multiple fire pits, multiple sitting areas and a spotless hot tub. Even if something was wrong there was no doubt that Lucy and Bill would make it right. Thank you for a great 5 days.!!!!

Very Nice!

The house is very spacious and clean. It has a lovely yard for hanging out with friends. The only issue, the cabinets and fridge had left over food and condiments. I would prefer not to have others left overs in the house But otherwise, it was a great place to stay with a group of nine women.
