Beautiful Custom Home With Pool - A Short Walk from the Saratoga Racetrack

Beautiful custom built home walking distance to Saratoga Race Course. Fantastic location right in the heart of everything Saratoga has to offer - a few blocks from the Clubhouse entrance to the track, the Horseshoe, Siro's, Mexican Connection and Pennell's and approximately a mile to the downtown Broadway area. Available to rent throughout the year, but book now to secure your spot for track season!

Main house has 4 Beds, 3.5 Baths, gourmet kitchen, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, dual sided fireplace, hardwood floors, Crown moldings, 3,500 square feet, pool, patio and grill. 2 King and 2 Queen bed. There is both an upstairs and a downstairs master bedroom (each master bedroom has a King bed).

In addition to the main house, there is a basement apartment with a separate entrance available for rent. There is also a carriage house apartment above the garage available for rent. Pictures and pricing for each of these apartments are available upon request.

**Please note that the pricing on the listing is for the main house only and that booking the basement apartment or the carriage house apartment entails an additional cost. Should you choose not to rent either of these apartments, they will remain unoccupied during your stay.**

The main house has sleeping accommodations for 8 people (assuming 2 people to a bed). Adding on the basement apartment and the carriage house apartment provides sleeping accommodations for 4 more people, so we can accommodate groups of 12 if necessary.

The basement apartment consists of a living room, a bedroom (King bed), and a bathroom. Some of our renters have preferred the basement apartment to the master bedrooms in the main house!

The carriage house apartment is a studio apartment with a Queen bed and a bathroom. This apartment is perfect if members of your group want a bit more privacy.

If you have interest in renting on a monthly basis when the track is not in season, we can provide a quote for that as well.

In 2024, the pool will be open from April 25th through October 21st. There is an easy-to-use Intellicenter behind the garage that controls the pool functions, including the heater.

Sadly, we ask that no pets come along for your visit. We love dogs and our own little guy, Griffin, is very upset that he can't stay at the house when we are there. But we want any guests who may have allergies to feel comfortable during their stay.

Parties are not allowed at the house. You are welcome to invite friends and family over. You can certainly enjoy the pool area and have a nice barbecue on the grill. But if you are setting up speakers and re-creating Mitch-a-palooza from the movie Old School, you are going to make the neighborhood (and us) very upset. Please be a good neighbor while you are staying at our house. And as a general guideline, as the sun starts to go down, so should your volume outside of the house. There are noise ordinances in Saratoga and we don't want the boys in blue stopping by for a chat.

Highlights for 2023 if you are a returning guest: We have replaced the queen-size bed in the upstairs master bedroom with a bigger king-size bed. We have replaced the patio table out by the pool with a larger version. Finally, we have put in blinds in the dining room and living room areas so that you don't feel like the neighbors are peering in on you during your stay!

saratoga and the horses
This is an ideal house for a track visit but really for any kind of reason. Pool was an amazing late morning or post track location. The house was an A+ but communication/generosity of the host was off the charts- if there is a better host- we have not met him/her

Welcoming and wonderful
Dave and Jenn are truly the most gracious hosts we’ve encountered in our many years of renting houses. Their house is lovely in every way and the heated pool was enjoyed by the whole family. My granddaughter was delighted by the miniature horses that live around the corner - the owner gave her carrots to feed them. Definitely a place to make wonderful memories!

Saratoga Reunion spot
My siblings and our spouses enjoyed this rental when we came to town for a huge family reunion. The location was excellent and the gift bag left by the hosts was so appreciated! We were excited to get an occasional glimpse of a racehorse in the stables next door. Loved sitting outside by the pool too.

The hosts of this house went above and beyond anything we’ve ever seen before. There was a generous amount of supplies and gifts left for ALL the couples. They even made sure we had several items to mark the occasion of the special event we were up there for. As for the house, it was gorgeous, immaculately clean, an amazing location, quiet and spacious enough for all of us. Before and during our stay, anytime I reached out to the host I had a response quickly after. Very accommodating - I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOUSE!!!

Great House/Great Location/Great Hosts
We rented the house and the room over the garage for our daughter's graduation and could not have been happier. The location is great, in the morning we saw horses being led out of the stable next door for their morning walk! Our ages ranged from 21 to 94 and all were comfortable and felt at home. The hosts have made sure you have enough of everything you need (towels, bath amenities, coffee pods) and more (game closet). They are very helpful and generous, having left us a very memorable welcome gift. We hope to be back!

Perfect size house for 4 couples. Plenty of room and equipment to cook if you want. Lots of storage for all your stuff. Comfortable beds and roomy bathrooms. Easy 20-25 minute walk to downtown Saratoga. Lovely gifts from the hosts. Lots of snacks left for us. The host was very responsive, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this rental.

Very comfortable house with good location
We are a group of friends in our senior years who get together from all over the US every few years. Although we didn’t use the pool area, we very much enjoyed the main house and had fun exploring the area (including a trip to Williamstown) and visits to racing museum, Skidmore, history museum, and many shops and restaurants. The house was very well supplied with all we needed and more.

Perfect Getaway
What an absolute gem! I have stayed in dozens of rentals through VRBO but this one truly stood out. Never did I have a host that clearly cared so much about providing a welcoming experience for their guests. The house's location, amenities, cleanliness, everything were just so top notch. Everything was so seamless I didn't have to contact the owner once. We didn't have plans to visit Saratoga again but this house by itself may be the only reason needed to return. If there were more than 5 stars I would give this house that!

This rental is amazing! We stayed here for a girls weekend - perfect location. Close to the track! Walkable to some bars or quick Uber ride to downtown. Dave and Jenn are very communicative, kind and attentive - there for anything we needed! They went out of their way to help us and also gave great recommendations to ensure we’d have the most fun this weekend. This house is super spacious and clean! Would definitely recommend to anyone planning a trip to Saratoga! Thank you Dave & Jenn!! :)

Amazing!
I have rented many VRBO properties and this one by far I s truly a gem! The photos on VRBO are exactly how the property looks, this has not been the case with other properties I have rented. The house and pool were essentially immaculate, there were ample towels for the kitchen, pool and bathing. The kitchen was well equipped with cooking supplies: pots, dishes, spices, wine, paper towels, cleaning solutions and the gift bags were wonderful surprises for my 4 yr old triplet grand children. The owners definitely take care of this property and make you feel welcomed. If this property is available then grab it! This is an accurate VRBO listing unlike others I have rented.

Return to Saratoga
This is our second visit to this home and our host Dave couldn’t be more accommodating. The home is fully stocked, kitchen couldn’t have more equipment, utensils etc. Bedding and towels are great and the heated pool is a real treat. 5 minutes to town, the track or SPAC and a longer walk but manageable. We are already looking forward to our next stay.

Lovely location and relaxing experience
The house is clean, spacious, and quiet; and Dave and Jenn went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. One of the more appreciated details was that we didn't have to strip beds, or do anything outside the basic considerate cleaning a person should do- these feels all to rare these days and allowed us to feel like we were truly on vacation.

We have never felt so welcomed at a property. Dave and Jenn go above and beyond. Their home is spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. It’s also stocked with any supplies you could hope for. We were there to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation and our family plus both sets of grandparents found the space incredibly comfortable. Mattresses are great, always a crapshoot with a rental. Biggest regret is not discovering your home sooner! Thank you for helping to make this event so special.❤️

Perfect stay! We have stayed at many different properties but this one tops our list of favorites! Everything from booking to checking out was easy and more than pleasant. Great communication with host who was genuinely concerned with our stay. Before arriving on the day of check-in we asked if they had cupcake pans. Not for sure so they immediately ordered and had them delivered to the property the next day…above and beyond!! So gracious with their welcoming bag of local products!! Dave addressed any questions immediately and enthusiastically. The house was amazing and stocked with so much more than most. Clean! Lots of towels! Large closets and storage for your belongings! Guest binder had everything possible to help you through out the property. Location is great, especially if you are there for the races. Beautiful house with lovely ambience. Dave and Jenn, we thank you for your generosity!
