Charming cottage in the heart of Saratoga Springs

My family gathered for a baby shower and 4 of us stayed at the Horse Lover. This small but charming cottage was so welcoming and well equipped! Beautifully decorated, comfortable and scrupulously clean! The 2 bathrooms were a plus and the large, well equipped kitchen was perfect for us to prepare food for our event. I had my elderly Australian shepherd with me and she was made welcome with dishes and treats. A few things to note - parking is very tight and we needed to leave one car across the street at the market. Also, we had planned on 5 adults and 1 was unable to attend which ended up being a blessing. The sleeping arrangements are suitable for only 3 to 4 adults rather than the 6 that they say in the listing. And be aware, as with most VRBO properties additional fees and required insurance were hefty and ended up costing us more than the rental rate.

A cozy house, a lovely stay!

This house was perfect for us (two adults plus our dog), and we had a lovely stay. It was super clean and it has all the modern amenities that you need. There were even dog bowls and treats for our dog. I also love the proximity to downtown (walkable on a nice day), and that there’s a supermarket across the street. Looking forward to returning!

About the host

Hosted by Robin Baker

I am a software product manager and love to work remotely. The ability to work from anywhere is the reason I decided to create short-term-rentals in FL and NY. My goal is to provide the same amenities, that I like to have when I travel, to our guests including families, adventurers, outdoor recreation lovers, sports fans, beach lovers, concert goers, and remote workers alike! I love to hear from our guests so I can continually improve your get-away experience. We know you have a lot of choices for your stays, so Thank You for choosing our property to spend your precious time. We hope you enjoy every minute of your experience in our home.

Why they chose this property

Saratoga Springs is a very special place that offers nature, entertainment, horse racing, night life, arts, natural spring water, and more. The Horse Lover is located within 1 mile of almost everything you could want to do in town. You really don't even need to bring a car with you when you stay at the Horse Lover.

Right across the street is a PriceChopper Market32 with fresh food and prepared food options for grab and go! We provide a rolling grocery cart for you to run over and get what you need for your stay. Even though we provide coffee in the house, there's a Starbucks in there too for those of you that are espresso or latte aficionados!

If you are a traveling nurse or medical worker, you are 1 mile to Saratoga Hospital.

For track lovers, you have a 1 mile walk to go Win Big! Or a $10 Uber ride. It costs at least $20 to park at the track so it's best to walk or Uber anyway.

Concert goers can use the Railroad Run trail right next door to the house to walk safely away from traffic to SPAC.

In 2024 we will provide a brand new deck w/grill and an outdoor dining table & chairs for chillaxing in the beautiful weather. Also, we will provide a fully fenced yard so your pups can run free and be kept safely away from the traffic.

We're excited to host you and look forrward to hearing from you!
