100 % satisfied. Owners made us feel at home. Cozy cabin is nicer than the Vrbo photos. We were a little surprised that there was no TV, but that turned out to be a plus for us.

Adorable cottage and helpful hosts!

Jane and Jeff's cottage is absolutely perfect for a quiet getaway off the shores of Saratoga Lake. We can imagine that their neighborhood is full of fun, sun, and activities in the summertime but when we visited in October, it was a perfect autumn escape. We were so happy we chose their cottage for our weekend trip, it was a perfect spot to stay between Saratoga Springs and Albany. Although Jane was away for the weekend, her husband Jeff was beyond kind and helpful on her behalf. He offered us their rowboat which they had already put away for the season so that we could fish. It was super kind and accommodating to allow us to enjoy our late season hobbies. And he made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable in the cottage! The cottage itself was clean, quaint, and perfectly supplied. You can clearly tell that Jane and Jeff put a lot of time into the renovations and the place is amazing. No complaints whatsoever! And a huge plus that it is dog friendly. We hope to come back during the summer season when we can enjoy the cottage and lake in all it's glory! Thank you again for a wonderful weekend getaway. Cheers, Matt and Julia

A complete gem!

My husband and I stayed here for a couple nights and everything was amazing! The cottage is immaculate, almost everything has been renovated and updated. The view is divine, just steps away from the lake. The hosts were remarkable, they went above and beyond to make our stay special. I can’t recommend this cottage or the hosts any more.

This property was a perfect location for us to drop our kayaks in the lake. The owner was super nice and attentive. The price was so reasonable for a great location. Your 5 min from shopping in Saratoga springs or to view horse races. The only downfall was the 1,500$ deposit but the owner quickly responded and helped expedite to get my money back sooner. And for those who don’t want to be consistently outdoors like us there’s no TV. So on a rainy day you can always connect to your laptop or simply do board games.
