About this property

Galway Lakefront Retreat

Take a step away from the busy life and relax in our lakefront paradise!

Here is a gorgeous cottage located on 86 feet of private shoreline on Galway Lake. Galway Lake is a privately owned 550-acre lake with seven miles of shoreline located in western Saratoga County in the town of Galway. The cottage is set in a cove on the southern edge of Galway Lake in Maywood Grove with a beautiful view of the northern hills. A small stream borders the side of the property and functions most of the year. The site is located in a rural setting off a dead-end road, which ensures a private and quiet retreat. It's also minutes to important places.

The Saratoga Racetrack and Saratoga Performing Arts Center are only 15 minutes away. Two golf courses are five minutes and fabulous restaurants are minutes away. Large retailers are only 10 minutes away. Numerous attractions are in the surrounding area. The cottage is located 15 minutes from the New York State Thruway and 20 minutes from the Adirondack Northway.

This beautiful A-frame is located on a three-acre sloping lot with plenty of parking. The property has a driveway leading to the entry walkway. There are stone paths, gardens, and lighting in the beautifully landscaped yard. There is a private 16-foot dock with a sandy beach area. The cottage is not furnished with boats, however you may bring your own boats, as long as there are no gasoline engines. Electric motors are permitted. Rowboats, kayaks, canoes, and sailboats are all permitted on Galway Lake. There is a shed on the property for easy storage. A gas grill, patio table, and chairs are provided.

The cottage has one large bedroom on the first floor with a queen bed and a loft upstairs with two single beds. The living room sofa pulls out into a large bed. The cottage is fully furnished, and linens are provided. There is a fully functioning kitchen with a full-size refrigerator and electric cooktop stove. A coffee maker, microwave, and countertop toaster oven are provided. There is a large living room and a very large dining area with a large table and storage closet. The interior is composed of knotty pine walls and ceilings. There are oversized windows in the front with a patio door leading to the oversized deck, overlooking the lake. Two ceiling fans and a large air conditioner in the bedroom keep the cottage cool on those humid days.

The cottage comes with trash pickup and streaming YouTube television service. Rental periods are described in the rental rates, and we offer discounted Spring and Fall rates.

About the host

Hosted by William Weiss

Host profile image
The Weiss Family purchased this amazing cottage in 2003 as our Adirondack Family Getaway and have put our passion into making this a gorgeous property. During the times we are not renting the cottage, we are enjoying this beautiful property and the ever so gorgeous Galway Lake. We are proud to share this cottage with many great families during the summer! Come spend a week and make your own family memories at our Galway Lake Rental.

Why they chose this property

This property is directly on the water, yet offers a private setting. As you drive off the main road into Maywood Grove, you are greeted by private roads and trails that lead to the cottage. At the cottage, you have views of the entire lake and not of your neighbors. We are secluded, but close to everything and Saratoga.

What makes this property unique

An Adirondack style cottage, with the amenities!
