This 4 season cottage is on one of the nicest coves on Saratoga Lake. Close by, are the Saratoga Race Track & Casino, the New York City ballet and concerts at SPAC. Golfers can choose from three different courses. Downtown is known for its shops, entertainment and eateries. You are 30 minutes away from Lake George. Willard Mountain is 45 minutes away. The nearby State Park has nice trails, and is also good for X-C skiing and snow shoeing. A warm propane fireplace awaits your return.

Cottage is set back just off the lake front. Directly in front is a spacious patio equipped with a grill and tables and chairs for enjoying your morning coffee, eating meals or just relaxing watching the water or reading a good book.

As much as I am an avid pet lover that works with dog rescue, I can not make any exceptions to the no pet policy. Thanks for your understanding.

Guests also have access to a small sitting area at the end of the dock which is set up with chairs. (Sorry the pontoon boat in the dock picture is not for use by guests.) There are places on both ends of the lake where guests can do day rentals of boats, paddle boards, etc.

Unfortunately at the cottage there is no space for docking of other outboard motor boats or another pontoon. Guests are welcomed to bring non-motorized water vessels - canoes, kayaks, paddle boards. No motor boats and/or trailers allowed. Likewise in winter, guests may not bring motorized vehicles like snowmobiles. There is no lake access in the cove to put them on the lake, Nor is there room for parking a trailer on the cottage property.

Sorry but guests can NOT bring any motor boat and/or trailer of any size. There is no room on the property to park either at the cottage, even if you plan to put it in daily at one of the public launch sites each day. The association also does not allow guests to leave boats/trailers in the parking lot at the entrance to the cove. Unfortunately if you want to bring a motor boat , jet ski / trailer, this is not the place for you.

The cove is very shallow. Maximum depth is only about 5 feet for a distance of 120-150 feet from shore. Guests can swim off the dock but there is absolutely no diving. Guests can bring their own flotation devises and spend time floating around in the cove. Weather permitting, winter guests can skate and enjoy ice fishing. Likewise in winter, guests may not bring motorized vehicles like snowmobiles. There is no lake access to put them on the lake, nor is there room for parking a trailer on the cottage property.

Both front and back doors will be programmed with the same code for easy entrance any time without having to worry about a key.

The layout of the cottage is an open plan. A sitting area with wicker furniture greets you as you enter the camp. ** It would be greatly appreciated if all shoes are left by the door as you enter the sitting area. ** This area blends into the living room where there is a TV over a propane fireplace (equipped with a cable box and Roku). Guests can choose to relax on a comfortable sofa bed (a double) or a recliner chair.

Next is the kitchen area which includes a table and 4 chairs. There is an additional table leaf and chairs available for larger guest parties. The refrigerator is standard size with freezer on top. A dishwasher is also provided. Cooking is done on a full size range with oven fueled by propane. A coffee maker is available for use. Cabinets are stocked with dishes, silverware, pots, and pans.

The cottage uses well water but it is now on an elaborate Culligan system and drinkable. A cooler with spring water will also be available for your use.

The bathroom is off the kitchen and guests will be happy to see it includes a washer and dryer along with the usual tub/shower, sink. The improved water system provides great shower pressure, which is a plus for travelers.

Each bedroom has a queen sized bed, a dresser, closet and a 30” smart TV. The Silver Spectrum cable package and WiFi is standard for the cottage but guests can access any of the additional special channels that can be downloaded with their own accounts. Bedrooms also have a 5' X 5' closet with one shelf.

Access to the cottage is down a mostly paved one lane road. Cars entering the cove need to travel a max of 10mph. Guests also need to pull in to a nearby driveway to allow outgoing traffic the right of way. Guest can safely walk the lakeside road to see the cove up close. The cove and surrounding areas have some great roads for biking, so don't hesitate to bring yours with you. If you want a night free of driving, guests can call for an Uber. Boaters can launch from public places at each end of the lake.

Your host lives a short 20 minutes away if there are any issues you may need us for. A short text will always get a quick response. The host also spends a lot of time enjoying the lake. It is unlikely that our paths will not cross one or more times during your stay on the water’s edge.

    Our family for stayed for half a week and had a great time. The unit was very clean and had all of the linen and pillows we needed. We did not cook here but all of the usual items for the kitchen looked like we certainly could have. The communication with the owner was fantastic and answered all of our questions immediately. The lake was an added bonus for us. We would definitely stay here again.

    Two of my girlfriends and I stayed at this cozy cottage for a week and had a great time! It was pretty much exactly as advertised. Renters should be aware, however, that it is behind the owner's house, so not exactly ON the lake (though you can see the lake from the cottage, and it's a VERY short walk to the lake). The cottage had pretty much everything we needed, and we loved the hot and cold water dispenser! The kitchen was a little sparse for folks who plan to do a lot of cooking, though, as we did. If we return, we would consider bringing additional pots, pans, sharp knives, and seasonings (salt, pepper, etc.). The area around the cottage was very quiet, and the road that runs along the lake was nice for walking. The location of the house also provides easy access to both Saratoga and Lake George. Lex, the owner, was easy to work with and very welcoming—and was kind enough to take us on a lovely boat ride around the lake! While not fancy, this little cottage is a great choice if you’re looking for an affordable, clean, pleasant accommodation on a beautiful lake!

    We loved the location but it’s behind the main house and not across from the water. It’s a very short walk to her boat dock and patio where we enjoyed happy hour. The cabin is very homey and equipped with all we needed for a 2 week stay. The owner/host was delightful and vey accommodating to us.

    Charming cottage at back of main house with short walk to lake. Host was extremely informative and met us when we arrived. Left us to our short getaway after giving us the lay of the land.

    We stayed in the office season, but I imagine the lake access is great fun. We found the beds and space to be comfortable and clean. The host was well prepared and easy to connect with.

    Lex was very kind and super friendly. The property was perfect for my wife and I. Exactly what we needed to relax for a few days. It was our first time in Saratoga Springs and we absolutely loved it. I will definitely go visit again in the future.

    Travel to Saratoga every year to see the Dave Matthews Band and decided to try do something different from a hotel. This property was just lovely. The location on the lake offered us so many different options for enjoying ourselves while still being close to downtown Saratoga. Clean, comfy, quaint and had everything we needed. Lex is just amazing. We hope to go back every year and stay here!! I can’t say enough good things!!!
