We had an amazing time at Mary’s Saratoga Lakehouse! Mary was an incredibly gracious host, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house is spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. The deck overlooking the water is absolutely beautiful, offering stunning views and a perfect spot to unwind. There’s also plenty of space for activities, both indoors and out. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would highly recommend this lakehouse to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable getaway!
This amazing lakeside property has the best hosts imaginable. Their quick communication and willingness to accommodate requests is unparalleled.The home's expansive deck is equally good for quiet contemplation or entertaining, and the tennis court and kayaks created a resort experience so close to the track that we easily could bop back and forth throughout the day. What a wonderful place, inside and out!!! Thank you for sharing this terrific space with us! We hope to return!
Thank you so much, Mary and Craig!
Mary is an excellent host for a wonderful property. The house is perfectly located with proximity to the track, golf, the town, and more. The waterfront view is stunning and the house has everything you’d need for a Saratoga getaway. All this combined with Mary’s low stress, good natured communication makes this a 5 star stay!
What a perfect spot to get together with friends and enjoy the lake, large deck and outdoor property
Check in process was easy. Property was clean and plenty big for our larger group. Everyone had a wonderful time enjoying the outdoor space and water front access. Would absolutely rent again!
My group had a great time staying here. Our hosts did the upmost to make our stay as enjoyable as possible and the house and property are stunning. Only a short trip into town and the track, I’d highly recommend this house for a memorable trip to Saratoga. Thank you Mary and Mike!
Mary and Craig were fantastic hosts. They were extremely responsive and incredibly personable. We highly recommend this home to anyone looking for the perfect mix of Saratoga Lake, the track and Broadway. There was the perfect amount of space for our group and the yard was a huge bonus! Thank you again-- we hope to be back soon!
Beautiful property with everything a large group could want!
We had plenty of space for our group of 10.
Lakefront tennis, kayaks, and large deck with a grill all made our stay extra enjoyable!
Stayed with a group of friends from high school for a few days and loved the house. Perfect location and beautiful spot right on the lake. Highly recommended for a group.
We had a fantastic stay - the property was clean, the deck/yard were beautiful with great lake views , and the location is so close to the horse track and downtown. Mary was responsive and gave a great tour to make sure we were all settled in. Perfect for a guys weekend!
We had 13 guys stay here, the waterfront area is perfect for games, the lake is waist deep and sandy right off the dock. There’s a bar/restaurant nearby and you’re only 10 minutes to the track or town. Mary is very helpful, attentive, and friendly. This was our second trip and we’ll keep coming back!

A perfect property for a large group (10+) with a great location. View is tremendous and amenities were3 great. A few minutes to the track and golfing. Host was great. A perfect weekend.
I can't say enough about our stay. Mary and Craig are wonderful hosts. They stock their house with all the comforts of home. the kitchen is well stocked and everything you need is provided. the lake was warm and shallow for a long distance allowing our little kids a great playground. The house provides a lot of space for families to spread out.
We had a group of 12 guys and knew we needed a place to accommodate a bunch of 30 year olds and Mary’s house was the perfect fit for that. Amazing view of the lake upon entering the house and plenty of activities at the house to keep us all occupied. We played tennis every morning and made turned my friends into big fans after every game. We had a concert to attend on the first night and the venue (SPAC) was only 10 minutes away. I would recommend this place to anyone who has a large group and wants to sleep everyone comfortably. 10/10 experience
Easy to work with, basics are all there. Location is beautiful, good for a few nights. The layout is unique but worked for us. Hosts are super receptive, thoughtful and kind. It was easy to rent a boat and head out on the lake for the day and such an easy drive into Saratoga, SPAC, track.
What an amazing spot- and a perfect setting for all kinds of gatherings. Our daughter’s graduation weekend from Skidmore College could not have taken place in a better location. Short drive to SPAC, downtown, and Skidmore. Mary couldn’t have been nicer- so helpful and accommodating. And the breeze off the lake made a 90 degree day perfect!
We had a great time at the house and Mary was a great host. Great place to stay with a big group and the view is amazing. Would definitely recommend staying here.
Great house in a great location with a great host.
We rented the property for a long weekend for a bachelor party. This property is fantastic — beautiful and spacious, close driving distance to town, and comfortable accommodations. The house also has everything you could need.
Mary and Craig were very responsive and great hosts. Highly recommend this house.
