Home on the River - stunning views and Comfy Beds
Wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee overlooking the Hudson River from your kitchen. The back yard backs right up to the Hudson River and has beautiful views of wildlife and creates a naturally calming atmosphere. We love comfortable beds and sheets so we have invested in them for your enjoyment too. Please note that we keep duvets on blankets that get turned and replaced with each guest's stay too. This is not common in my experience. What I love about this town is that I can walk to the playground, tennis and basketball courts. The Waterford Harbor is just across the main road through town, also in walking distance. This is where the Tug Boat Round-Up is held and the fourth of July celebratory fireworks are set off. Looking to be in a central location while visiting the seasonal activities like skiing, hiking, biking, boating, fishing, and the Saratoga Track await you in lovely Saratoga County. Albany has lots to offer for the avid traveler too. Go for a walk at the capitol mall at sunset for some beautiful views. Check out the NYS Museum and its current exhibits.

Waterford Riverview Apt
The apartment was adequate for our stay in the Albany area to attend my niece's wedding. There was plenty of room and the apartment was clean. The owners are in the process of renovating so at this time there is work that needs to be done. We would have liked to spend time in the yard and build a campfire down by the river but there was some construction going on in the back of the house. Overall, it was a nice stay and will likely be even nicer when the renovations are complete.

Gorgeous Hudson River View
Very roomy, quiet home, with well stocked kitchen equipment, and block out curtains in the bedroom for late sleeper. Quiet street, on street parking but easy to come by, convenient washer and dryer if needed, but the absolute stunner was the backyard with porch and chairs, picnic table at midpoint and a lovely patio directly next to the river with comfy chairs.

Nice stay
Very clean, well kept property. Home came with all supplies needed. Host was very friendly. The only negative was the claw foot tub. Beautiful antique. But as a shower, it was difficult getting in and out. I would be worried about a senior aged person using it.

Cozy waterfront lodging
I came up for the weekend with my friend as a getaway from the city (Baltimore). The lodging was comfortable and had all the accessories we needed. My favorite moments were in the mornings when I could drink my coffee and read peacefully right by the Hudson river. And thanks to a recommendation from Ariel, we were able to have a great hike up by Lake George to round out the weekend.

respite with family following surgery
We stayed for two weeks following a surgery and Ariel, the owner, was extremely considerate of the situation. She ensured steps and walkway were shoveled and salted at all times and checked in to see if we needed anything. We had a couple of minor maintenance issued that were addressed immediately. The house was clean quiet and perfect for our needs with the only exception being the shower which is not ideal for someone trying to get up that high following surgery. Beds and couches were extremely comfortable. Thank you, Ariel, for your hospitality.
This was a beautiful place and the owners thought of everything you would need to be comfortable! Including children. I plan on going back again. Its right on the Hudson river with beautiful views and we were there in January!

Great home for a family to stay in
Accommodations were wonderful. So many large appliances and kitchen items to use for cooking for a big family. I appreciate the amenities in the bathroom also. Owners are very nice, helpful and quickly responsive. Waterford is a cute little town to stay in right outside of Albany and has some great little restaurants and downtown shops within walking distance as well as a grocery store about 5 minutes drive away. The beds and pillows were very soft and comfy. Overall we had a great stay
