Description

Take a step away from the busy life and relax in our lakefront paradise!

Here is a gorgeous cottage located on 86 feet of private shoreline on Galway Lake. Galway Lake is a privately owned 550-acre lake with seven miles of shoreline located in western Saratoga County in the town of Galway. The cottage is set in a cove on the southern edge of Galway Lake in Maywood Grove with a beautiful view of the northern hills. A small stream borders the side of the property and functions most of the year. The site is located in a rural setting off a dead-end road, which ensures a private and quiet retreat. It's also minutes to important places.

The Saratoga Racetrack and Saratoga Performing Arts Center are only 15 minutes away. Two golf courses are five minutes and fabulous restaurants are minutes away. Large retailers are only 10 minutes away. Numerous attractions are in the surrounding area. The cottage is located 15 minutes from the New York State Thruway and 20 minutes from the Adirondack Northway.

This beautiful A-frame is located on a three-acre sloping lot with plenty of parking. The property has a driveway leading to the entry walkway. There are stone paths, gardens, and lighting in the beautifully landscaped yard. There is a private 16-foot dock with a sandy beach area. The cottage is not furnished with boats, however you may bring your own boats, as long as there are no gasoline engines. Electric motors are permitted. Rowboats, kayaks, canoes, and sailboats are all permitted on Galway Lake. There is a shed on the property for easy storage. A gas grill, patio table, and chairs are provided.

The cottage has one large bedroom on the first floor with a queen bed and a loft upstairs with two single beds. The living room sofa pulls out into a large bed. The cottage is fully furnished, and linens are provided. There is a fully functioning kitchen with a full-size refrigerator and electric cooktop stove. A coffee maker, microwave, and countertop toaster oven are provided. There is a large living room and a very large dining area with a large table and storage closet. The interior is composed of knotty pine walls and ceilings. There are oversized windows in the front with a patio door leading to the oversized deck, overlooking the lake. Two ceiling fans and a large air conditioner in the bedroom keep the cottage cool on those humid days.

The cottage comes with trash pickup and streaming YouTube television service. Rental periods are described in the rental rates, and we offer discounted Spring and Fall rates.

We had a very nice stay at this property. The manager was there when we arrived to show us the property. It was clean and there was a lot of attention to detail. The bed was very comfortable. We had our two older kids in the loft (11 and 12). The ladder to the loft is easy to navigate for older kids, but I wouldn't recommend putting kids under 5 up there. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies and there is a nice grill outside. Be sure to read the welcome letter as there are a few things they recommend you bring, such as, towels. The wifi worked well and the YouTubeTV was a nice bonus for the kids. Galway lake holds a charm that will never go away. You will love this place!

We had such a wonderful week at this cozy cabin. It was well appointed and as stated, directly on the water! Communication with the owner was easy! We look forward to returning. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a lovely stay in this rustic A-Frame cabin. Beautiful spot, right on a small cove on Galway Lake. Home was clean and comfortable. Thank you!

Can’t get any closer to the lake than this - it’s just a few steps outside the door. Adorable cabin was very comfortable, kitchenette worked well for our needs, and WiFi was key. View from the deck can’t be beat. Lake is nice and calm, we brought our kayak and paddle board and used them every day. We’re already planning our next stay!

My wife and I tremendously enjoyed our stay. The property is spacious, well equipped and in excellent shape. The peaceful setting and the ever changing, serene view onto the lake make this a perfect place for relaxing and decompressing. We also used this location as convenient base for excursions to Saratoga Springs, along Lake George to Ticonderoga and into the southern Adirondacks for hiking. William is a fantastic host!! Overall, one of our best vacations ever.

This comfortable and cozy cabin sits right on Lake Galway. Views of the lake are visible from most of the windows, and the back deck offers a private spot to sip coffee and watch the water. There is a little creek that runs beside the cabin (bedroom side); leave the window slightly open and you will have the best white noise for falling asleep at night! The kitchen is well-equipped for anyone needing to make their own meals. Due to our drive time we were scheduled to arrive very late, and the owner was very accommodating of our schedule. If we need to travel to upstate NY in the future, we would definitely stay here again!

My 9 year old was in the lake all day. Or looking for frogs/salamanders in the stream. We ate out on the deck every night. Made S’mores in the outdoor fireplace. I was able to work during the week as well with the great WiFi connection. We had a blast during our week stay.
