This is a clean one bedroom, 1 bath efficiency. It is located approximately 100 feet away from the main house, but still very private. It has everything you would need inside for light cooking. It also includes a keurig (we leave two k-cups). We do provide clean towels and linens as well. We have chickens on the property, so we provide a dozen fresh eggs, which we leave in the refrigerator. This property is very secluded on a quiet well-kept dirt road. Great place to get away for a little R&R. The place will sleep 4 guests, but it is best fit for 2. You will be snug with 4 guests.

This was the perfect spot for me while visiting family in the area - cute, cozy, and had everything I needed to make my week comfortable and easy. The patio is a wonderful addition, and the hosts kind and accommodating. Will definitely keep this place in mind for when I’m visiting again!
This was the perfect little escape while we visited upstate New York for a concert. Our hosts were so nice and communicative. We would absolutely go back!
Very clean, looks like recent renovation: was looking for something off the beaten path. Best for people who cook (I do), as near-by restaurant choices are limited (there is an excellent cash-only breakfast spot in nearby Cambridge). If you drive in or out early, watch for the deer.
Wi-fi available.
My sister and I came up for a 3 day weekend for a concert at SPAC and Saratoga shopping. Our house was perfect! Private, clean and our hosts so were thoughtful. We loved the private outdoor sitting area, the fresh eggs and availability of our hosts. Would definitely stay again.
Thanks for a great weekend.
The property was very cute, relaxing and extremely clean. The check in/out was easy. The property is beautiful with a patio with sofa, firepit and a screen room with a table. Lovely hangout space! Highly recommended.
We enjoyed our stay at this very peaceful cottage. We had all the needed amenities and enjoyed being away from city noise. We drove to Saratoga Springs several nights for concerts and it was a 45 minute drive on beautiful back roads, so be prepared for some driving if you visit other areas. Our host was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. The fresh eggs in the morning were a delicious addition. We also enjoyed time on the outdoor patio. Samantha gave us several recommendations for exploring places and we spent a day at Georgi Park, a wonderful area for swimming, picnicking, and relaxing. A wonderful getaway if you're looking for peace and quiet.

Peaceful Cottage Retreat is exactly what you get!
I rented this cottage last weekend because I was attending the Dave Matthews concert in Saratoga Springs. The cottage is exactly as posted online, peaceful cottage retreat. It's a quiet and relaxing place with lots of privacy. Samantha was friendly and greeted us upon our arrival. The house is clean and roomy enough for the two of us.
Property exactly as described, close enough to Saratoga Springs action, but just far enough away for those of us who don't like to stay in the busy spots and prefer calm, country quiet. This cottage is so perfect, I wish we could've stayed longer.
Bed was comfortable, everything very clean. Our host communicated with us very well, was able to allow early check in, and didn't rush us out in the morning. It was so nice and dark, and QUIET! We used the little open space in the living room for yoga and stretching, we really loved having an area for that.
Our host even left us fresh eggs from their chickens (even though we didn't get to cook them up)!
Highly recommend for anyone traveling through the area.
Overall the place was nice. Everything was clean. The property owner responded in a timely manner. My only complaint was there were carpenter ants everywhere. They had traps set up, but those didn't seem to be helping the problem. I woke up with bites. I'm not sure if it was from the ants or a misquito or something else. We live in the country too, so I understand these things happen from time to time. I just wish they'd given me a heads up about it befor we arrived. That's why I gave our stay an overall of 3 stars. Minus the ants it was a nice place.
We stayed here while attending a concert at SPAC. It was about 45 minutes away from the venue, and it was so peaceful, quiet, and beautiful. We say a lot of wildlife outdoors, and it was nice to be away from the busy Saratoga area that weekend.
I stayed one night at this sweet cottage. It was super clean, comfortable, and cute. The owners are very responsive and provide easy check in instructions. Everything you need is provided. The bed was super comfortable. This rental is so much nicer than a hotel. I highly recommend it!
We stayed here to be close to family during a family reunion. Samantha communicated well with us & was very attentive & available. The cottage suited our needs quite well. We loved the location: private, serene, & surrounded by gorgeous views. And the night sky - OMG!
We loved staying here! We came in mainly to attend DMB concerts at SPAC, and wanted something away from the craziness of Saratoga. We were not disappointed! Enjoyed the countryside and the quiet, including a lovely fire in the fire pit one evening. Highly recommend if you understand that this is a 40 min drive to Saratoga and want a lovely spot to relax and unwind. Would stay here again.
The place was great! Clean and comfortable. The host was great making sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. We weren’t there long but definitely will be back!!! Beautiful area.
Excellent, experience! They were so nice and accommodating! I tried renting again but the dates were taken! We will definitely book again! Thank you so much!
Respectfully,
Steve
This was a great place to stay! We are hoping to stay again the next time we visit with our family in the area!
