About this property

YEAR AROUND GETAWAY - Private, Saratoga Lakefront Home close to downtown & track

Welcome to THE BEST of lakefront living in this private and peaceful lakefront home with 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bath vacation oasis that sleeps up to 8 people.

This home has direct lake access (no road to cross) and a 80ft dock for swimming, fishing, sunbathing or kayaking. Guests are able to use the "pebble beach" area to launch kayaks (bring own person floatation device).

There is nothing like spending time on a lake. Saratoga Lake has it all! It is so close to everything, just 5-10 minutes to Saratoga Race Course, Saratoga Casino & Raceway, and Downtown Saratoga Springs (named top 10 best main streets in America). Easy access to public launches, public beaches, great restaurants, live entertainment, bars, golf courses and shopping.

Open concept floor plan with floor to ceiling views of Saratoga Lake. Plenty of space for everyone to relax, play games, and spend time together. Guarantee that the Lake will steal your attention.

Guest enter on the main level, through the garage/front door, from the circular driveway. The moment you walk into this home, you will be greeted by the 180 degree view of Saratoga Lake. Spend time with family and friends in the kitchen, dining room area, and living room area. The kitchen is well stocked for meal prep for 8 people. The Living room features beautiful leather seating with sofa, love seat with ottoman. There is a large 65" flat screen smart TV with all the streaming apps. The sliders open to the trex deck where you can spend time sitting to watch the morning boaters or relax in the evening with stunning sunsets. This view is amazing no matter what season or time of year you visit.

The lower level has it's own kitchenette area (full size refrigerator, microwave) and open area for a 4 person dining sitting area and the family room area with a large TV, full size leather sofa and love seat. The 3 sliders offer floor to ceiling views of the lake and an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful slate stone patio. The covered patio offers outdoor dining seating for 6 people and 4 comfortable lounge chairs to take in the lake views. Just off to the end of the patio, there is both a Weber grill and Blackstone grill to use for meal preparation.

There are 3 bedrooms located on the lower level; 2 bedrooms with Queen size beds and the 4th bedroom with a full size bed. Plenty of room and options for guests. All beds are brand new, high end mattresses, with spare pillows, blankets, and quilts. The main bathroom is located on this lower level and offers a full size shower/tub, sink, toilet, stackable washer/dryer.

The Primary Bedroom is located on the 3rd level and has THE most beautiful views of the lake. There is a luxurary premium king bed w/ flat screen TV. The Primary Bathroom has a walk in shower, double vanity, and soaking tub. Hair dryers and iron/iron boards provided. In addition to providing the linens (sheets/towels), lake towels are also provided. Also on the 3rd floor is an office area with 2 desks, office chairs, and extra monitor for those business travers needing to work remotely and laundry room with full size washer and dryer available.

There is parking available for up to 4 cars in the circular driveway. The steps (to both the 1st level patio and the private dock) are large stepping stones and guests must use caution when using.

NOTE: please see pictures to better understand level of difficulty. There are several security cameras on the outside of the property for security and safety reasons. Also, all fireplaces (main floor and primary bedroom) are not operational and are unavailable for guest use. Owner's boat is docked on their lift during summer months and is also unavailable and off limits to all guests.

Lake activities include:
**RENTING A BOAT: Tubing and waterskiing are popular. There are sand bars that guests like to dock at and swim.
**RENTING PADDLE BOARDS: A great way to explore the shoreline and view the lake closeup.
**SWIMMING/FISHING: You can swim or fish right off of the dock. :) There is seaweed depending on the time of season but it is a clean and refreshing!


Saratoga Springs is a great vacation destination for all seasons:
SARATOGA RACE TRACK: Our famous horse races are not to be missed if you have a chance to go! Only minutes away!.
SARATOGA PERFORMING ARTS CENTER: Our outdoor amphitheater hosts concerts, ballets, orchestra, and shows covering all genres.

The property is under 10 minutes away from downtown Saratoga Springs. Uber and Lyft are both available to and from the property should you not want to drive.

Enjoy every minute of this vacation paradise, it never gets old!

Relaxing Getaway

We had such a fun and relaxing stay in this beautiful home. The views from every room are incredible-- we loved watching the sunsets from the dock and playing games outside on the covered porch. The bedrooms are very comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked, and the home is thoughtfully planned out for a serene getaway. The lake is huge and calm, perfect for kayaking. Downtown Saratoga Springs is an easy 10-15 min drive away, where you'll find so many great restaurants and shops. Our family loved our time here. Highly recommend!

8/10; Great location!

We stayed at this lake house with a group of friends for the weekend! The location is perfect if you plan to go downtown while also being on the lake. The lake was beautiful! There are many weeds where you swim so you do need to swim out a little to not touch them. All the alarms in the house were going off when we arrived but it was quickly fixed by the owner. Giving 8/10 because I feel like they do watch you on their cameras which feels a little weird at times. We were texted for having a fire pit (which we quickly put out when we found out we weren't supposed to have it) but the only way they could know was by watching us on the cameras. With that said, if you are ok with that then it's a great place to stay!

Beautiful Property!

This property is absolutely gorgeous and was very clean. The views were amazing, and it is a perfect location for a getaway with a handful of individuals; a number of my guests even asked for information on this property so that they can book it themselves. The Owner of the property had many rules and regulations and messaged me twice during my stay; once to remind me about "quiet hours" and another time to let me know that I had breached our Agreement by having more than 4 cars in the driveway. This lead me to believe that she was spending time watching myself and my guests via the Ring cameras that were placed in the front and the back of the property. Overall, we had a wonderful stay, and as long as the guests are willing to follow a number of rules and regulations and are not put off by owner check-in's throughout the weekend, I would highly reccomend.

Perfect 4th of July lake get away

The lake house was the perfect place to get away and relax lakeside. Cheryl was a great host and very responsive. We were able to watch fireworks around the lake from the decks. The main suite in the top floor was very nice - beautiful lake views, separate from the rest of the house and a nice large bathroom. The house was well stocked and the kitchen had everything we needed. Would stay here again if we are in the area in the future.

Saratoga Lake/Belmont Stakes

The house was absolutely PERFECT!!!! Stunning views, fabulous amenities, the open concept allowed for family to gather together and enjoy our time reuniting. Proximity to The Belmont and all of the racing festivities was a huge bonus. We'd stay again and found the home to be everything that was promised and more.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl VanKuren

Host profile image
We have been a long-time partner of VRBO since 2010 with premiere status because we care about our guests and their experience (property #382146 - 5 Star ratings ) . Many of our families come back each year to stay at our property in Rehoboth Beach Delaware. We are delighted to now own a piece of paradise on Saratoga Lake. We look forward to sharing our home with others who love lake life and the backdrop of the Adirondack Mountains.

Why they chose this property

The view of Saratoga Lake NEVER gets old. Every day on the lake is different, with the wind, the clouds, the sunsets, and boat watching.

What makes this property unique

Our property has direct lake access and a private 80ft dock. We offer the kayaks for guest use (but must bring their own PFD). We have a ton of seating areas to enjoy the lake view, because that is the best part of this experience. You will lose track of time here. Our interior is decorated with high-end decor and premium beds. The windows give you 180 degree views of the south, north, and west sides of Saratoga Lake.
