It's a Nice place with a Restaurant/Bar that Hops at night and a Live Band at the Outside Bar a about a hundred feet away from the Inn. The lake is nice with a public Beach front that you can swim or lay out. Nice to the Beach is a ice cream place lots of flavors and a place you can rent small kayaks etc. It's a easy ride off I87 to the Nest and From the Nest it's a easy ride to Saratoga Springs Town and Horse Racing. We had a nice time, just beware Friday and Saturday day and night the place is Hoping and if you want sleep it's not going to happen until after 11 pm.

Used The Nest on Saratoga Lake as our base of operations while attending the Saratoga Jazz Festival at SPAC. Stayed in the Owl's Den room, which is one flight up; not too many stairs for these seniors. Communication before we arrived was smooth, and the location is easy to find. Parking was right in front. Especially liked the no-contact registration; you just go to your (keypad locked) room! The view of the lake and surroundings is stunning! The room was cozy and the bed comfortable. Amenities included DirectTV, extra bedding in case it got cold, a few toiletries, snacks and bottled water. Towels were big and the enclosed shower stall was nice and hot. Outside the room were a microwave, Keurig coffee machine and pods, and small fridge. Very convenient! Also convenient was the attached restaurant, Dock Brown's. Service and food were great! Even got to sample an ale I had not heard of: Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale. And it was excellent.

It was great for stopping by for the night. Room was smaller than expected with a 6’4 husband but we made it work. The views of the lake were great! Parking was a little confusing at first, but worked out as well. Great little lakeside stop :)
