We had a great stay - the cottage was perfect for my partner & I and our 16 year old son (and 8 month old lab). Location was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee which was well appreciated! Everything was super clean and check-in was a breeze. We will definitely utilize the cottage again if it's available next time we visit the area!!!

A nice getaway in upstate NY

This was a cute, cozy place to stay at on our trip to NY. It had everything we needed and was in a nice area. Overall a great spot to either spend time in or come back to after a long day.

This VRBO was the perfect place to stay for my weekend getaway as it was close to family as well as a ton of amenities that were enjoyable even in a snow storm. Hosts were kind and flexible with some changing plans and I would definitely stay here again!

Very nice place

This place was very clean, welcoming and cozy, and had everything you would need for a short stay. They really thought of everything! It's too bad there was a state burn ban, because even the firepit area was well appointed, and a campfire would have been lovely:)

A nice small cabin style home. A little remote, but that's not a bad thing. It reminded me of a cabin on the lake, minus the lake. Every creature comfort & attention to detail was to a "T". I'd gladly stay here again if ever I come back to the region. Only advice would be to have a few marker lights or similar to make it easier to find.

Quiet, cozy, relaxing

This house had everything we needed for a nice, relaxing stay. The cottage was very clean and well- stocked, and the location is perfect for exploring the Albany-Schenectady-Saratoga area. The property owners are very friendly and easy to contact, should you ever need anything. We would definitely stay here again.
