Absolutely loved our stay at Baptiste’s place! Super walkable to lots of fun stores and restaurants. Highly recommend.

Adirondack Riverside Apartment, Kayak or Ski
We loved our stay here! Beautiful backyard with peaceful views; the surrounding areas are full of lots of outdoor activity. Patrick was a kind and responsive host. Certainly recommend this stay for a couple looking for an R&R weekend getaway!

Fondaview
It was a perfect place for 2. The home was beautiful inside and out. The property was well maintained and attractive. The setting was stunning. Having kayaks available was a bonus. Inside, nothing was missed. Communication was clear and simple; they offered good suggestions on restaurants and places to visit. Would definitely return!

This space is amazing. Beautiful home, great scenery and amazing hosts.

Unique and Cozy Getaway: Explore the Adirondacks!
We stayed at Alexandra's place for a few nights . The apartment is cozy and welcoming, very clean, with great art on the walls and good books on the shelves. Alexandra was very responsive and nice - she lent us her snowshoes, told us to park in her garage during the snowstorm to avoid being snowed in , offered good suggestions for local places to eat.

Farm-to-Table Retreat on Panther Creek
We enjoyed our quiet stay. We did a hike that was recommended in the guidebook and visited the used book store that was also recommended, but otherwise stayed in. Couches and beds were comfortable and we found everything that we needed in the kitchen.

2 bedroom apt- Beautiful views of Saratoga Lake
Brittany was a life saver. she waited for me to get my ducks in a row and saved our spot for us! My daughter and I needed a place to stay between apartments and we felt very much at home here. Brittany was attentive and extremely accommodating. The amenities were great!

Lake House in Averill Park, NY (age 30+ excl kids)
First of all, a 1 o’clock check in started us off on a very happy note. Then, having room for each female to have her own bed made a for peaceful stay. The biggest thing was how much the space was warm, comforting, and full of character. The sliders provided a broad view of the lake. The kitchen with the open area to dining and front area provided an open concept feel to an older home while maintaining its true character. The tall cabinets contained every utensil/small appliance that we needed and more. We brought a bag of board games as we know what we like, but there was a great variety already there. While there was plenty of room, we felt “together” in that space. We can only imagine the beauty that arrives later in spring. Thank you for having us!

Olde Rose Garden on Galway Lake,Saratoga County NY
Where do I begin... I've stayed at numerous Airbnb properties, but this one stands out as one of the most beautiful settings I've encountered. The views of the lake are breathtaking, and having direct access to it was a huge bonus. We made full use of the canoes and kayaks provided, enjoying them every day. My husband, an avid fisherman, was thrilled with the lake, calling it one of the best freshwater fishing spots he's ever visited. The grounds are impeccably maintained and offer plenty of privacy. Inside, the house is both comfortable and well-appointed. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the pots, pans, utensils, and small appliances you could need. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the linens are of high quality. The furniture is tasteful and inviting. Karen was a wonderful host, easy to communicate with and responsive. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. I would return in a heartbeat and recommend this place without hesitation.

Island View Family+Lake+Private+Beach+Firepit+WiFi
LJs place was exactly what we were looking for! We did some ice fishing which was better than anticipated. The house was clean and cozy. The rules were reasonable and LJ communicated timely. We will absolutely be back!

Lakefront cottage on burden lake in Averill park
Very peaceful! Space was comfortable and it was nice to have a relaxing getaway and take a step back from work. Can’t wait to book again in the summer and take full advantage of what the lake has to offer! Lauren was an excellent host and very communicative.

Sparrow Farm Cottage & Majestic Waterfall
Simply beautiful, charming and cozy stay. The waterfall was amazing, it was frozen but I think that made it even more beautiful, its a short hike to the fall and in my 2-day stay I went about 5 times. Even cold plunged in the fall! The wood stove is so toasty and they have an abundance of wood to last all winter. The kitches has literally everything you can think of and you can tell a food lover lives here. There's even binders with tons of recipes that seems to be made throughout decades, super cool. Overall great stay and just what we needed. Highly recommend!

Lakefront Saratoga Home
Four of us stayed here for a long weekend and had an amazing time. Easy drive into Saratoga and we enjoyed the outdoor space with amazing lake views and enjoyed nights in the hot tub. I would definitely recommend the place to friends and family

Charming lake front home with dock near racetrack.
EXCEPTIONAL! We can't say enough about how perfect our stay was. The Lake House is amazing. Great view, cozy, super clean. You can't ask for more. Will definitely come back and recommend highly.

Cozy, peaceful lake house close to Jiminy Peak
We loved our late winter stay on the lake - it was very peaceful and we had some great bird-watching opportunities. The art and special objects in the house made for a very cozy and beautiful environment. Overall, it was very comfortable and we would definitely stay again.
