Great spot

We enjoyed the serenity of the neighborhood. The owners went above and beyond by supplying everything one would need. I would suggest bug spray for outside but that would be out responsibly. Ready to book for next year if they will have us! Super clean too. Fantastic stay!

Pleasant stay

We had booked very last minute, due to horse show in VT getting cancelled, and we decided to do a show in Saratoga area instead. Being one of the first guests to stay here, and not having any reviews to read, we were apprehensive, but were so pleasantly surprised. The cottage appears to be recently updated, so all appliances, furniture, and decor is in new condition. It was very clean, which is most important to me. I could tell the owners went the extra mile to make sure guests are comfortable. I always pack my own cleaning supplies, detergent, bags, toiletries, etc. But, they had all of those already at the cottage, which is a nice touch, and definitely not the case at a lot of rentals I have stayed at. The layout is nice, with 3 good size bedrooms, and a full bath. The yard is large, with a fire pit and deck. The area is quiet, being residential and off a scenic country road. However, it was an easy 10 minute ride into Saratoga center. We found it a nice and quiet home base to discover all the area has to offer. We ran into one question about how to work something when we arrived, and the owners responded immediately. Would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Christopher Ryan

Host profile image
We originally bought our Country Cottage to host our in-laws when we were welcoming our first child. It quickly became clear that this peaceful spot was perfect not just for family, but for anyone visiting Saratoga Springs or exploring the Adirondacks.

We love sharing the space with guests who appreciate nature, quiet mornings, and the charm of upstate New York. Hosting has become a way for us to connect with travelers and help them create memorable experiences in a place that holds a special meaning for us.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Greenfield Center for its peaceful charm and natural beauty, so much so that we bought our own home in the same neighborhood. It’s the kind of place where mornings are quiet, wildlife wanders through the yard, and the stars shine brighter than anywhere else. Just five miles from the energy of downtown Saratoga Springs, Greenfield offers the perfect balance: close to the action, yet tucked away in a serene, safe setting that feels like a true escape.

What makes this property unique

Our Country Cottage offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful country setting just five minutes from the heart of Saratoga Springs. Guests love the ultra-clean interiors, welcoming vibe, and the fact that their dogs are just as welcome as they are.

The spacious yard is perfect for relaxing, playing, or stargazing, and the neighborhood is quiet, safe, and full of charm.

Bonus: there’s a seasonal farm stand right out back, so fresh produce and local treats are just steps away. It’s the kind of place that feels like home the moment you arrive.
