Amazing Saratoga weekend

I loved staying here! Very clean, very cozy, and so fun! We went kayaking (a lot), went out in town, and enjoyed the beautiful view from the deck! AJ was so nice and welcoming. Would love to come back again!

Relaxing and peaceful

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, close to downtown Saratoga Springs, close to the SPAC and far enough away to get away from people and just relax and enjoy nature. Thanks for a great stay AJ, thanks for all you did to make us feel welcome and enjoy the place, including the kayaks! Will return for future SPAC event

Loved being on the creek. Large comfortable space. Many steep stairs to access, so would not be good for handicap people.

Great getaway

Great communication, comfy bed, beautiful view- what more do you need?! We really loved having breakfast on the deck overlooking the river and hearing the frogs at night. It’s close enough to bop back and forth from downtown Saratoga but far enough away to be away from hustle & bustle. This is a great getaway and we hope to be back again.

Amazing Creeksde Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at AJs place. He is the perfect host, so easy going and gracious with all the extras provided - fruit, snacks and wine - what more could you ask for! We enjoyed relaxing on the dock and kayaked every day and saw lots of wildlife- so peaceful. We would definitely want to stay here again the next time we are in the area! Mary Jo & Ron

Amazing hospitality and location

My wife and I stayed over the weekend and absolutely loved this place. AJ was an incredible host and let us use his canoe and also took me fishing. The creek is packed with fish and thanks with AJ’s help I landed a close to 3 lb large mouth bass. It was a short Lyft ride to the track and peaceful at night. We will be back and I would recommend it to friends.

Tucked away unique place

AJ has a cool spot just minutes from the raceway. It was clean and cozy and very quiet. The balcony was a nice place to chill out after going to the races all day. AJ was easy to communicate with and left us lots of goodies. The only thing we worried about was safety, because it seemed like there was only one exit. We would stay again!

Chilled & Relaxing

Location is fantastic directly on the creek with wildlife to see and canoes available to help chill. AJ is relaxed and very knowledgeable and each recommendation hit the mark. Accommodation is very comfortable and we had a great time relaxing day and evening. Thanks to AJ for his hospitality especially the little touches of providing tea, coffee, milk, bread, jam and butter for breakfast next day after a long flight from the UK; no need to rush out so relaxation started immediately. Would recommend the area and accommodation.

Nice place, but fix the door

1st time renting a Vrbo. I wanted to not pay a fortune just to sleep, because my Daughter & I were on-the-move. My Daughter's used to large Hotels/ Motels in her travels. It took a little to convince her to try this alternative. On arrival, it was a major setback, on finding the Sliding Glass Door is broken, with no ability to lock it (except Andy did have a small steel cable lock, to go thru the hold that was drilled into the door handle; but, the cable is only attached to an electrical up-line). Andy did rightly state that it is a safe area; however, one cannot expect outsiders to so readily accept such, when you rent out your place. A really good answer will be to install a French Door vs a Slider, much easier to put a Keypad Lock on such, & will still allow the sunlight in & view to the outside.

Best Saratoga Springs Experience!

I've spent days searching on Airbnb in the Lake George/Saratoga Springs for the "perfect" place I had in mind for my anniversary with my significant other, but nothing clicked with me. I searched the same area on Vrbo and am grateful to have found this gem. It was everything and more than what I had envisioned: close to nature, an outdoor porch, and a cozy place; having a view of the water was a major plus. Coming in with an electric vehicle, the EV charger was a nice amenity. The space was super clean upon entry. The decor was very ocean/marine themed which I captured my eye as an ocean lover. I appreciated the granola bars which we took on our hike, the instant oatmeal packs in the microwave which we had for breakfast, and the welcome beers in the fridge which we saved for our bonfire. The mini-kitchen has everything you need for a weekend stay (and a much needed wine opener in the drawer in case you forget like we did!)…in fact, this entire place has everything you need for a weekend stay. We were lucky enough to have nice weather to be able to use both the kayaks and the stand up paddleboard on the creek over the weekend. Lifejackets are available. It made for a super fun experience, even in the month of November.

AJ is the best host you could ask for. He’s super friendly, answered all of our questions, and gave amazing food recommendations in the area (Wasabi and Druther’s were amazing suggestions). He helped us out with the kayaks, and he also knows how to set up a great fire pit (I swear he can breathe fire). Can’t thank him enough for providing a memorable experience for us - thank you again, AJ!

Excellent Stay!

We had a great time at AJ's! The location was perfect: secluded enough to enjoy the scenic river yet conveniently located to get places in Saratoga Springs. AJ was very friendly, accommodating and easy to reach, and the place was well-prepared for our arrival. The complementary snacks and beer were also appreciated. We had a blast kayaking and boating around, and the backyard/porch space was a great place to relax and take in the fall foliage and night skies. Highly recommended if you are looking for a getaway in Saratoga.

Beautiful, Convenient Location and Great Host!

I chose this rental for a short early fall stay to see Saratoga Springs, relax, and do some hiking. I was not disappointed. AJ was a fantastic and gracious host, offering suggestions for nearby parks and walks. The creek side location offers beautiful views that change throughout the day, and reading in the lounge chair and hearing the rain on the skylight was very peaceful. The restaurants and shopping of Saratoga Springs is a direct, short drive away. Supermarkets, gas stations, breweries, and other amenities are nearby, too. This is a great spot to relax by the water and enjoy all Saratoga has to offer.

Great weekend getaway!

This was the perfect spot to runaway & decompress! From the comfy bed & great balcony view overlooking the creek to the must have waterside fire, the trip was relaxing. It’s even better if you enjoy being on the water as you have access to the kayaks & boats! It’s a great balance between nature & downtown! What makes this place even better is AJ! From the time we booked until we got home, AJ was a perfect host! Communicating with him was easy & we can’t wait to go back!

Amazing time!

AJ was so wonderful, friendly and accommodating, not only did he let us check in early and out late, but he also made our stay so comfortable. He provided beer, juice, bread and oatmeal for breakfast as well as coffee and tea. He gave us all kinds of recommendations for things to do and where to eat. We left just wanting to come back. All this is before talking about the peaceful stay by the water and all the fun of kayaking or canoeing up and down the river. Overall absolutely recommend and will be back. Thanks AJ!!!

Good location

Clean and simple property. We were out traveling around the region all day so we really just needed a place to crash at night and this place fit the bill. The morning we left we sat out on the dock and watch kayakers go by and I was a bit sad that we hadn’t taken a kayak trip before leaving. But you can’t do everything!

Great location! Gracious Host! Nature Property!

AJ was a gracious, attentive and welcoming host, and we enjoyed our stay at the Fish Creek cottage. This property is perfect for unwinding, chilling on the water and being at one with nature yet is so close to downtown Saratoga and the Adirondacks. We couldn't have asked for a better location! The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars was due to low water pressure in our bathroom, yet AJ was so kind that he probably would have offered that we use the main house--it was fine for our short stay. Thank you, AJ!
