Here are 5 things you must do when visiting Saratoga Lake:
1) Visit Brown's Beach
Brown's beach is one of the only public swimming spot on saratoga lake. This community favorite swimming spot was closed for roughly a decade and recently has been opened to the public again. It has a shallow launch area and is great area for learning any type of water sport. Picnic and volleyball area is available.

What better way to experience Saratoga Lake during the summer than to rent a boat, kayak or paddleboard? There are also other marinas and locations where you can rent boats, kayaks and paddle boards, such as Salvi Aquatic Boat Rentals, Point Breeze Marina, Lees Park, The Kayak Shak, among others.

3) Go fishing
Saratoga lake boasts one of the best fishing spots in the region. The lake is excellent for bass fishing and the deepest section of the lake is 96 feet. The lake is also stocked with over 8 million walleye. The weed beds framing the shoreline are great for anglers fishing northern pike. Around for the winter? Ice fishing is also permitted - make sure to check out the annual ice fishing derby.

Absolutely beautiful!

When first arriving, it’s a little overwhelming, but once you climb the mountain of stairs , open the doors to a beautiful view of the lake! Although our weekend was pouring down rain, it was the perfect place to sit with some wine, family, and friends ! Plenty of space for everyone!

Eagles, sunrises make a great birthday gathering!

The stay was wonderful for a family birthday gathering. Spacious kitchen, bedrooms and gathering. 3rd floor view was beautiful and the balcony was great to have a sunrise coffee. The ducks, geese, and yes, eagles made the location extra special. Location was perfect as it was less than 30 min from Siena College. Nick was a great host and responded very quickly to our questions. Parking was very easy and close. Just a great experience.

Beautiful family holiday trip on the Lake

My family and I stayed for 5 days while visiting our extended family over holiday break. The lodging was perfect for our family - it was clean, comfortable and had a gorgeous view of the Lake. Our kids loved the lofted area with a comfy area for watching movies and lounging around. The location was very central to a lot of attractions. The owners were fantastic and responded to all of my questions within hours. We would love to stay at this property again!

Perfect view

Our stay @ this location was a very positive experience. The host was always available to communicate with as well. There was plenty of space for @least half a dozen people to dorm comfortably. The kitchen had all the amenities and utilities you'd need for your stay. With a giant size TV to watch while eating @ the kitchen table. My favorite part of the house was the view outside of Saratoga Lake from the South end of the lake. Overall it was a beautiful experience to see the Fall foliage of upstate NY. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Weekend getaway for an 80th bday!

We rented the first and third floor for our family of 8. Plenty of room! And both units were up to date, clean, and complete. The views were spectacular, especially from the third floor. The owners were so accommodating, helping us make the weekend so special for the family. We would def recommend! Only negative was the bugs at night-but you have to expect that when renting anything on water.

Weekend in Saratoga

We stayed 2 nights. Very comfortable for 6 adults, with gorgeous views overlooking the lake. Plenty of space for all of us. It is on the third floor, which I didn't catch when I booked it but that ended up being fine. We thoroughly enjoyed our coffee and breakfast while looking at scenic Saratoga Lake!! Location was a short drive to downtown Saratoga and SPAC and walking distance to a few places to enjoy a drink and bite to eat. I would recommend this for a quick get away!
