During winter (from about December 1st to March 31st), snow conditions are likely. It is advisable to check weather forecasts to prepare yourself and vehicle/get necessary rental before your winter getaway. The fountain and pond water features are off November 1st through Spring.

Vehicle Recommendation:

This is a private HILLTOP property close to a river in a ski region. Due to potential snow accumulation, we recommend guests use an AWD (All-Wheel Drive), truck, or SUV with proper tires to navigate the hill leading up to the Wine Lounge. This ensures a safer and more comfortable journey to the property. If your vehicle can not make it up a stone driveway, it is a 500 ft hike up to the Hilltop. See pictures in gallery. It's a winter wonderland. Be prepared. We plow over 2 inches of snow. Anything under 2 inches a proper awd with good snow rated tires will have no issues. This is a non refundable reservation.

Escape to a charming, private Wine Lounge / Bridal Suite nestled on the expansive grounds of Rebecca's Fountain with a river view of the Mohawk River from our private Hilltop. Close to Saratoga NY, 12 minutes from Albany International Airport (ALB), it's an easy drive to the world-famous Saratoga Racetrack or SPAC (22 minutes), Rivers Casino (6 mins), The Capital (30 mins), local colleges & universities (Union, UAlbany, Sienna, RPI, SUNY Empire State, SCCC, HVCC, etc) as well as all adventures the Capital Region has to offer.
