We had such a wonderful stay here! The place was absolutely beautiful—clean, spacious, and even better than the photos. My family and I felt comfortable the entire time. The host was super nice, very easy to communicate with, and always quick to respond to any questions we had. You can really tell they care about their guests.Overall, it was an amazing experience and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway!

Host was awesome as usual. Check on is as easy as can be. Amenities are always in order.I've been there many times (twice this summer) and will be back at least twice more this year...Place is just as advertised....peaceful, quiet and relaxing. Great for a getaway- or if you plan to attend events in Saratoga or surrounding areas.

This property was a great stay for our vacation. It was separate from their house, that we never heard them and forgot we were on the same property lot. It was clean, well stocked, with modern amenities. It has two in wall air conditioners that work very well, even in the 90 degree heat. There's a nice private sitting area outside, and a large TV with Roku built-in and a Netflix account made available to you. All in all it was a great stay for our trip, being able to make meals there and have a sense of "home" made all the difference.

Relaxing stay at the Peacefu Cottage

Spent a relaxing holiday weekend at this cozy cottage away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The cottage had everything we needed for full relaxation, and was close enough to country towns for restaurants and shops. While the weather did not cooperate much until we left, we were able to get in a short hike to see spectacular Dionondahowa Falls, as well as a drive to Bennington, VT for a great dinner. Samantha was very communicative, though we had no problems or issues. Her husband (sorry, didn't get his name) was eager to offer help when he saw we were working on a bike repair.And finally, those fresh eggs from Samantha's chickens were oh so good. Memorial Day breakfast was certainly memorable!

Cozy cabin near Cambridge

This was the perfect spot for me while visiting family in the area - cute, cozy, and had everything I needed to make my week comfortable and easy. The patio is a wonderful addition, and the hosts kind and accommodating. Will definitely keep this place in mind for when I’m visiting again!

Little cottage

Overall the place was nice. Everything was clean. The property owner responded in a timely manner. My only complaint was there were carpenter ants everywhere. They had traps set up, but those didn't seem to be helping the problem. I woke up with bites. I'm not sure if it was from the ants or a misquito or something else. We live in the country too, so I understand these things happen from time to time. I just wish they'd given me a heads up about it befor we arrived. That's why I gave our stay an overall of 3 stars. Minus the ants it was a nice place.

Peace and quiet

Very clean, looks like recent renovation: was looking for something off the beaten path. Best for people who cook (I do), as near-by restaurant choices are limited (there is an excellent cash-only breakfast spot in nearby Cambridge). If you drive in or out early, watch for the deer. Wi-fi available.

Quiet Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this very peaceful cottage. We had all the needed amenities and enjoyed being away from city noise. We drove to Saratoga Springs several nights for concerts and it was a 45 minute drive on beautiful back roads, so be prepared for some driving if you visit other areas. Our host was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. The fresh eggs in the morning were a delicious addition. We also enjoyed time on the outdoor patio. Samantha gave us several recommendations for exploring places and we spent a day at Georgi Park, a wonderful area for swimming, picnicking, and relaxing. A wonderful getaway if you're looking for peace and quiet.

Perfect slice of Heaven!

Property exactly as described, close enough to Saratoga Springs action, but just far enough away for those of us who don't like to stay in the busy spots and prefer calm, country quiet. This cottage is so perfect, I wish we could've stayed longer. Bed was comfortable, everything very clean. Our host communicated with us very well, was able to allow early check in, and didn't rush us out in the morning. It was so nice and dark, and QUIET! We used the little open space in the living room for yoga and stretching, we really loved having an area for that. Our host even left us fresh eggs from their chickens (even though we didn't get to cook them up)! Highly recommend for anyone traveling through the area.

We stayed here while attending a concert at SPAC. It was about 45 minutes away from the venue, and it was so peaceful, quiet, and beautiful. We say a lot of wildlife outdoors, and it was nice to be away from the busy Saratoga area that weekend.
