We loved our amazing oasis just minutes from town, campus & the lake. Carrie & Scott had everything we could have needed on hand & there was nothing better than returning to the apt to watch the sunset over the marsh from the deck outside our room. Highly recommend this comfortable, cozy & relaxing spot on your next trip to Saratoga Springs!
Carrie and Scott have a wonderful apartment located below their residence. The space, amenities, communication, peaceful outdoor landscape, and privacy provided was outstanding! We really enjoyed our stay.
The place was quiet and peaceful, with all the necessities provided. The view was beautiful. The hosts just let me come and go as I needed to, and I appreciated the easy drive to all that Saratoga Springs has to offer. I wish I could have stayed longer.
What a beautiful home. Very clean and spacious. The outdoor grounds were gorgeous our only regret was that we didn’t have enough time to enjoy spending time outside. Scott and Carrie were always reachable to answer questions. We highly recommend this rental.
Everything was perfect and as described in the listing. The hosts were very kind, helpful and informative regarding the area and local attractions. We recommend enjoying your stay in Saratoga Springs here.
Great rental. The Hosts thought of everything you could possible need. A welcome package was there for our arrival. Info on Saratoga happenings and just an overall Great place. 5 stars!!!
The owners take great pride in their property. Everything was clean. Even had thought of the little things like toiletries in case you forgot to pack them. Great location for where we were visiting and lots of info on hand in the rental for places to eat and what was going on at the racetrack.
Decided to visit Saratoga for the race course and found this delightful apartment. It is very clean and spacious. The outdoor area is serene and comfortable. It was a short drive to town and the track. We will return.
I have used VRBO many times and I think this was the BEST place I have ever stayed!!!.. You could eat off the floor it was so clean!!!.. Beautiful setting, quiet and SO much room!!!!! Plan on coming back next summer for sure!!!!!!

Such a beautiful home, the backyard patio is so peaceful and Serene. The apartment itself is massive and beautiful. We enjoyed our little get away. They had a little welcome basket for us when we arrived such a great touch. We will try and get this every time we head to SPAC.
Stayed here Labor Day weekend due to having tickets to SPAC. I wasn’t expecting it to be in A suburban neighborhood but when you were at the apartment and on the patio he didn’t even realize because it was nicely tree line and wooded. The hosts were great. We just wanted to lay low and be left to ourselves and they were accommodating. Wonderful experience!
Very clean and spacious. Kitchen is well appointed and we were very thankful for the coffee that was on hand since i forgot to pack any. The kitchen was well appointed and we appreciated the treats that were provided. The back yard was very private. We enjoyed our stay!
Our stay here was great! In a nice location not too far away from all of the must do’s in Saratoga! Scott and Carrie were quick to respond to any questions we had and were great hosts. We were very pleased with our stay here!
Due to COVID, my wife and I ended up making a shorter trip to the Saratoga Springs area for our honeymoon. Scott and Carrie were great hosts. Even though it's an apartment below their house, it was very private and we hardly knew anyone else was around.
They were also very kind in offering some excellent places for dining and takeout, and some local activities to try out.
The back patio area was great for enjoying a fire in the evening and coffee in the morning while watching the birds. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to the Saratoga Springs area!
We loved that this place was secluded yet close enough to explore the area.
Unfortunately we were only able to stay for 2 nights but it was really enjoyable. We especially like sitting on the patio and watching the birds and chipmunks. We also liked going to the winery and to Lake Local to sit outside by the water. We only wish we had a chance to actually meet our hosts to say "Thank you" for a nice and quiet escape. Next time we hope to attend a horse race. Even from the street the track property looked amazing. We highly recommend staying at this house.
The rental was beautiful and very comfortable in a great location approximately half way between Saratoga Springs and Ballston Spa, about 4 miles distant from each. It was exceptionally clean and quiet being located in an upscale neighborhood. The back of the house with the entrance is adjacent to woods and a wetland and so is very quiet. Bird feeders are a nice touch! We enjoy our stay very much and would certainly return in the future.
Enjoyed this apartment so much! Everything was extremely clean, the apartment was spacious, and the seats out back were perfect for watching birds in the morning. Would definitely come back.

About the host
Hosted by Scott and Carrie
Carrie is a teacher in Saratoga and Scott runs a local post office and is a career Army veteran. Married for 25+ years, we are expert fixer uppers and love finding new projects that make a house a home.
Why they chose this property
The prefect blend of quiet oasis and fun family neighborhood, we are close to everything- Ballston Spa, Saratoga, the Adirondacks, and all of the fantastic eating and shopping one could ask for. We cannot imagine raising our family and living our lives anyplace else.
What makes this property unique
The rental is truly private and quiet, and it a great place to relax and unwind after a busy day of vacationing. Don’t be surprised if you are greeted by birds and deer outside beyond the patio in the morning.
