About the host
Hosted by Tim Kayes
Our folks built this cottage in 1991 and spent 30 summers on the water. As time moved on they traveled less and my sister and I have taken care of the place since 2020. We love being there and allowing guests to enjoy what the lake has to offer. Canoe for 3, 3 kayaks, and plenty of fishing supplies sit right out in the screen porch. We have been on AirBnB for 5 years and we are now using VRBO solely.
Why they chose this property
Located on a dead end street there are several year round places around us but we have one of the best screened porches just a stones throw from the water. A new aluminum dock in 2026 has made fishing a breeze in the early morning hours.
What makes this property unique
We have updated both bathrooms, the kitchen with granite counter tops, SS appliances and three new HVAC Mini Splits for the first floor and each bedroom. All you have to do is turn them on. Super convenient to downtown Saratoga and the Track and SPAC. All less than 15 minutes away.
