Saratoga Excitement Meets Peaceful Retreat- 10 mins to the track!
Escape to your own private 50-acre woodland sanctuary at Escape from Saratoga — a cherished fourth-generation family home tucked into the quiet hills of Greenfield Center, just minutes from Saratoga Springs yet worlds away from the everyday. This is not a typical rental. This is a place where families come to slow down, spread out, and reconnect with each other and with nature. Wake up to birdsong and the sound of the stream. Spend the day exploring your own backyard wonderland. End the evening around the firepit under a sky full of stars while the kids roast marshmallows and the adults finally get to finish a conversation.
*Your Private Nature Playground* Step outside and discover 50 acres of mixed pine forest, rock outcrops, and a gentle stream that leads to a seasonal waterfall — the kind of real, immersive nature experience most “cabin” rentals only promise in photos. A 0.6-mile loop trail with two bridges makes it easy and safe for kids (and dogs) to explore. Pack the provided hiking sticks and walkie-talkies, or simply wander and let curiosity lead. There are quiet spots for reading, rock ledges perfect for little climbers, and wide-open lawn areas for running, playing cornhole, or just lying in the grass. The newly built deck offers sweeping views of the waterfall and into our forested land, and is the perfect perch for morning coffee or evening wine. Right out the front door, the firepit lounge with complimentary split firewood invites long conversations and s’mores. This is the kind of outdoor space families remember for years.
*A Home That Feels Like It Was Made for Your Family* Inside, vintage charm meets thoughtful modern comfort. The cozy living room with its teal sectional and warm wood floors is made for board games, movie nights, or afternoon naps. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for family meals — including real glassware and silverware, kid dishes, all the small appliances and cooking utensils you'd find in your own home, plenty of counter space, and those little extras (coffee, tea, spices, treat station, coffee syrups) that make life easier.
Three comfortable bedrooms sleep up to six guests (king, queen, and a fun bunk room with Twin XL bunks). The bunk room is a kid magnet, stocked with toys, LEGOs, art supplies, books, and games for rainy afternoons or quiet wind-down time. You’ll find black-out curtains for sleeping in, more linens and towels than you’ll ever need, and the kind of thoughtful details (extra flashlights, leashes and tie-outs for dogs, trail maps) that show someone actually cares about your stay.
*Perfect for Families Who Want Space & Freedom* Whether you’re traveling with young children, tweens, teens, or grandparents, this property gives everyone room to breathe. Kids can safely explore the trail and yard while parents relax on the deck. Dogs are warmly welcomed and will love the space to run and sniff (we provide the extras to make it easy). Multi-generational groups appreciate having both private corners and generous common areas. This is the kind of place where memories are made — the first time your child spots a waterfall, the family game night that goes too late, the quiet morning on the deck with just the sound of the stream.
*Location That Gives You the Best of Both Worlds* You’re only about 10 minutes from downtown Saratoga Springs — close enough for the track, SPAC performances, Congress Park carousel, excellent restaurants, and shopping, yet far enough to feel completely removed. Lake George, the Adirondacks, Lake Sacandaga and countless hiking and outdoor adventures are an easy drive. Whether you want high-energy days or peaceful nature immersion (or both), you can have it here.
*Why Families Keep Coming Back* We’ve poured real care into this property because it’s been in our family for generations. We know what makes a stay feel effortless and special — and we’ve built exactly that. Guests consistently tell us the home is beautifully stocked, and the combination of privacy, nature, and comfort is something they rarely find elsewhere.
If you’re looking for a generic hotel room or a cookie-cutter cabin, this isn’t it.
If you’re looking for a true private estate where your family can explore, play, relax, and make memories that last long after you leave… welcome home.
We can’t wait to host you!!

We had a great couple of days. It was warm the day of out arrival so we were able to enjoy the deck which was very relaxing. The views were amazing every day, the waterfall was my best part.Thank you again Samantha and Chris for the use of your beautiful house

Thank you so much Donna! The waterfall during this time of year is amazing and we’re so glad you got to experience it! Thank you for sharing your experience and hopefully you’ll come back and stay with us again!
The place was just as described and pictured. The property is BEAUTIFUL! We were there over Christmas and the snow was so pretty. Our dogs loved the acreage for walks. Everything needed for cooking for a family was there. The rooms were comfortable and there was PLENTY of linens and towels (probable fifty towels at least). The best thing for us was the location and the property. We will stay here again.
I have had good stays in rentals and I have had nightmare stays in rentals but this property was fantastic above and beyond anything I have experienced! The house is fully stocked with toys and entertainment and all the comforts of home. Everything you need to go explore the property with your dogs like extra leashes and flashlights and tie outs by the fire pit. I could not find a single thing to complain about for this property - it was absolutely a delight to stay there and we plan to rent again here in the future!
The house was equipped with anything you might need for a stay at a home away from home. Our host responded faster than any host we've had in the past and was very courteous and accommodating. The view of the waterfall and foliage from the newly built deck was a beautiful place to take in the morning. The location from town as well as Lake George puts you in a good place to have choices. We all enjoyed our time spent and the memories we were able to make this weekend. Thank you Samantha and Chris for lending us your home.
