Nice house & pool
We had a group of 9 at the house for the weekend. It’s in a good location, about 10-15 mins to downtown Saratoga, SPAC, and the track. The heated pool is awesome, we spent a lot of time in it. The house was nice and clean when we arrived. Overall, I’d recommend this as a great place to stay. The only negative was the grill. We planned to use it but decided not to because it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned this summer and we didn’t want to risk a grease fire.

Misleading listing
The house was clean, and well taken care of, and the host was very friendly and helpful. However, the listing says there are five bedrooms. There are not five bedrooms, there are four bedrooms and sleeping space for just five people. We had six people and I had to sleep on a very uncomfortable couch for the whole weekend. It really ruined the trip.

Exactly what we were looking for
We had a large groups of guys, and this house was perfect. From the gorgeous pool and back patio, to the numerous sleeping locations, the house fit our needs perfectly. Our host was great, he provided towels for the pool and showers and gave us some great suggestions of a few places to eat with beautiful lake views. The location was perfect, we spent a morning on the lake renting a boat (15min Uber ride to marina), and an afternoon at the racetrack (again about a 15min Uber). Both nights we went downtown to the local bars and restaurants, and easily got a short Uber ride by home. If you are planning on visiting Saratoga this house is ideal, friendly and helpful hosts, perfect location to get to everything, and even a beautiful pool to relax in. Highly recommend to everyone. Our next trip to Saratoga we will definitely book this house again.

Comfortable house with nice backyard/pool
The house is better in person than in the pictures! Backyard with grill and swimming pool are great! It is a suburban, quiet neighborhood - houses are close to each other, you can see both neighbors backyards and they can see you too! Appliances are good except for the knifes, we had a hard time cutting meats for the grill. Our group had a pleasant and relaxing weekend in Ballston spa.
