Perfect Saratoga Property

Mary is an excellent host for a wonderful property. The house is perfectly located with proximity to the track, golf, the town, and more. The waterfront view is stunning and the house has everything you’d need for a Saratoga getaway. All this combined with Mary’s low stress, good natured communication makes this a 5 star stay!

Great Guys Trip!

We had 13 guys stay here, the waterfront area is perfect for games, the lake is waist deep and sandy right off the dock. There’s a bar/restaurant nearby and you’re only 10 minutes to the track or town. Mary is very helpful, attentive, and friendly. This was our second trip and we’ll keep coming back!

Heaven on Saratoga Lake

I can't say enough about our stay. Mary and Craig are wonderful hosts. They stock their house with all the comforts of home. the kitchen is well stocked and everything you need is provided. the lake was warm and shallow for a long distance allowing our little kids a great playground. The house provides a lot of space for families to spread out.

Summer on the lake

We had a group of 12 guys and knew we needed a place to accommodate a bunch of 30 year olds and Mary’s house was the perfect fit for that. Amazing view of the lake upon entering the house and plenty of activities at the house to keep us all occupied. We played tennis every morning and made turned my friends into big fans after every game. We had a concert to attend on the first night and the venue (SPAC) was only 10 minutes away. I would recommend this place to anyone who has a large group and wants to sleep everyone comfortably. 10/10 experience

Fun getaway with friends

Easy to work with, basics are all there. Location is beautiful, good for a few nights. The layout is unique but worked for us. Hosts are super receptive, thoughtful and kind. It was easy to rent a boat and head out on the lake for the day and such an easy drive into Saratoga, SPAC, track.

Amazing Skidmore Grad Weekend!

What an amazing spot- and a perfect setting for all kinds of gatherings. Our daughter’s graduation weekend from Skidmore College could not have taken place in a better location. Short drive to SPAC, downtown, and Skidmore. Mary couldn’t have been nicer- so helpful and accommodating. And the breeze off the lake made a 90 degree day perfect!

Amazing property for our wedding weekend

Moon’s Lake House was perfect for our wedding weekend! We got married in the area and had our families stay on the property during the weekend. We also hosted our small rehearsal dinner, had the bridal party get ready there, and even had our first look overlooking the lake, which all worked out perfectly. Mary was also so helpful in providing suggestions and recommendations. Our parents loved the property and views, and the house was really well equipped and stocked. Definitely recommend the property to everyone!

Wonderful people and property!

Yes, the house is right on the lake. Yes, the views are amazing. It really used to be a restaurant! Very very cool. Mary and Craig have to be the best VRBO hosts around. I really can’t say enough good things about them. We spent the weekend with friends but will likely return with our children to enjoy all the amenities! Overall, really a perfect experience.
