The Nelly

Whoa Nelly! A Big, Beautiful House Across the Street from the Track....

Big 5 Bedroom, 5 Bath. One block to the Race Track.

The Nelly is across the street from the clubhouse entrance to the Saratoga Race Course. If you would like to park the car and walk to the Track, Siro's, Pennell's, Brook Tavern, Horseshoe, even King's- this is the house for you. Less than one mile from Congress Park, you can walk, bike, or take the free trolley to town.

With 5 bedrooms, a beautiful eat-in kitchen (big enough for ten), and an outdoor kitchen patio, large enough for everyone to enjoy dining al fresco; this is the house for you. We have updated the kitchen and bathrooms, and added extra comfy couches to the basement, which sports a large Tv for movie nights (or PlayStation marathons).

This is the house for you if you want the space, convenience and luxury of being across the street from the Track without sacrificing a thing. We are pet friendly, and can comfortably sleep ten(10) We are child friendly and a pack-n-play, but the house is not childproof. Of the Nelly's five(5) Bedrooms, three(3) have their own ensuite. We have central air-conditioning and two back bedrooms have additional wall units. From the beautifully restored front porch straight through to the backyard, The Nelly is large enough to be comfortable but designed to feel inviting and connected.

The main floor has been updated to be wheelchair accessible with one seamless level for anyone who does not do stairs. We have a main floor Master with ensuite, that has been contoured for easy access. Large enough to comfortably get in and out of, and grab bars for extra help and support. It is elegantly done and understated so as to not be inconvenient or bulky.

The Kitchen is equipped with stainless steel GE appliances along with anything else one may need to cook a chef's meal before comfortably sitting down to our large dining table. Enjoy preparing any and all your meals on our beautiful new counter tops.

The finished Basement comes loaded with a 60in Tv and double couches for everyone to relax and enjoy. It's a great place to retire to for a quiet night on the couch with a movie and a merlot. One couch is an American Leather queen sleeper with gel mattress.

In all, we have tried to create a comfortable and stylish home for our guests to enjoy.

"Bet big or go Home" we say
"Bet big then come home... to The Nelly."


We enjoy hosting and having people enjoy our home responsibly. We do not want parties, or boozy gatherings taxing our house and our neighbors patience.
This house is meant for responsible adults who will not treat the house like a Vegas hotel. Please understand, we live here off-season.

Amazing House, Great Location!

We were in town for a family gathering so we had several different family members staying together. The house was very spacious and fit everyone in our group of 9 very comfortably. It was also very well appointed with everything we need for a very enjoyable weekend. Would love to rent again some time in the future.

The Nelly House is perfect! From the decor to the location, we couldn’t have asked for a better house for our girls’ weekend. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. Nobody wanted to leave the house at the end of our stay. Thank you for a wonderful getaway!

Great stay! Highly Recommend.

This house is even more spacious and beautiful than the photos. We were a group of 7 adults and 1 child, ages ranging from 9 to 73. Everyone had plenty of space. The backyard is lovely and the kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking appliance, spices, and condiments we needed. Communication with our hosts was polite and prompt. It is an easy walk to downtown and a quiet neighborhood this time of year. This was a perfect stay for our family while attending a music festival at the nearby performing arts center.

A relaxing Saratoga summer weekend!

Had my family had a great time here! The house was roomy and really well equipped! Lots of room to gather and eat together. Then bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds. The location was great, next to the track and an easy walk downtown. I wish the weather cooperates so we could have enjoyments the long evenings in the backyard.

And what is so rare as a day in June

The property delivered, everything about it was great. The open kitchen and dinning area were perfect. The upstairs beds and baths were clean and quiet. The outside grill and fire pit were in great shape. All very functional and relaxing. Plus the weather was perfect and we appreciate our host’s and thank them for arranging that too.

Great house for all Saratoga hast to offer

Our stay at 'The Nelly' house was excellent. The house is extremely well maintained and was perfect for our group. The yard was nice and private with a great grill setup and plenty of seating. The kitchen, living room, and basement all provide plenty of gathering space; and the bathrooms. All the beds were comfortable and bathrooms were nice and clean. The house is a stones throw to the track, and a short ride (or long-ish walk) to SPAC and downtown. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy Saratoga.

Fabulous Home / Fabulous Location

Hands down The Nelly House is one of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed in. What a perfect place for several families to gather for the weekend. We were in Saratoga Springs for my daughter's graduation from Skidmore College. We had several families with us and the space laid out perfectly. The house was better than the photos! The backyard was such a luxury and really made it so fun on such a lovely weekend. It is, honestly, better than the pictures. The house is beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked. I wish I had found this home earlier in our trips to Saratoga Springs. 10 out of 10.

Perfect space for eight women!

The property was even nicer in person than you can tell from the photos. The living room couches were extremely comfortable for hanging out at the end of the evening, with enough seating for seven women. All seven of us were comfortable eating at the dining table and outside. The kitchen was well appointed and we appreciated little things we didn't bring for a short trip, like spices and dish soap. We also appreciated the labels on things. We also noticed the high quality of the finishings and in the bathrooms and bedrooms - the first floor bathroom even had heated floors and a handrail and accessible shower. We also appreciated how walkable this area was. We walked to the center of town two times in one day, once in the morning and once at night, and while it was almost a mile, it was a really enjoyable walk. Overall we had an excellent time, loved the house and the area. We highly recommend it!

We loved the Nelly House!!

We knew the Nelly House was the perfect place for our family of 9 Christmas gathering from the moment we entered! The house was immaculate and bedrooms and amazing baths totally fitted our needs. Wonderful to be able to prep and cook in the large well-equipped kitchen and still be able to be part of conversation in the living room. The children enjoyed their game time in the comfortably furnished lower level. This home was exactly as described and the location very desirable with easy access to town, restaurants, grocery etc. Kirsty and Gerard went out of their way to assure our comfort during our stay. Even forewarned us of an ice storm and took care to treat driveway and steps. The candles in the windows and outdoor Christmas decor made us feel we were at one of our own homes. We searched many houses in the area for this long overdue gathering and believe we found the best for making memories!! Thank you
