About this property

Lovely, historic home in a beautiful rural setting. The house is 6 miles to downtown Saratoga Springs (Broadway). 15 minutes to Skidmore College and 20 minutes to Saratoga Racecourse. Lyft and Uber are available at this location.

We do require a 3-night minimum.

The house, built in the 1830s & 1920s, has both the charm and quirks of an old home. The house is great for large groups with two master bedrooms (with attached baths) and a separate playroom behind the garage. There is a large screened in porch with lovely views of the property.

The house stays cool in the summer, we have never needed Central AC. We do have window AC units and fans if it is unseasonably hot.

Notes:
- There is a nearby pet boarding facility but the noise is minimal. We do not hear much living there and we have not had any any complaints. If you are sensitive to noise we recommend ear plugs.

Country Classic

This home and setting is so special. The restoration and preservation of the home’s historical architecture and decor is outstanding. The second you walk in you feel at home. It has so many spaces to enjoy either large gatherings or intimate corners to just take it all in. We were a group of 6 friends who came together for the Travers Weekend. The home is 10 minutes from Broadway and all the action and close to the track as well. So glad we selected this home as our base.

Issues at the Country Estate

To start this conversation, I would like to say that this group of us travels all over the country together. This estate showed very well online, and the house is beautiful. But, there are some major issues at this old house. The plumbing in the upstairs bathroom needs work. The showers did not drain and the mold is all over the one bathroom in the Blue room. The owner did bring Drano after calling her to fix the toilet and the lights above the vanity. The toilet fixings were old and needed to be replaced because it ran for awhile. She did come and tried to fix things. The mold is not going away. I took numerous photos. The entire house smells musty and the large black ants in the kitchen are plentiful. Don't look at the pillows. They are stained and yellowed. The grass was not cut, and parts of the property are extremely overgrown. I looked at this house from the photos online and the estate could be fantastic.

Weekend getaway

A group of friends and I stayed here for a weekend. The house was clean, and the beds were comfortable. The covered porch was great when it rained! The property was lovely and you’re a quick 10 min drive into downtown. We had a great time and would stay again!

Timeless Property

One of the most historic, beautiful homes I have ever stayed in. Has a lot of character and has everything you need! Arica was an incredible host and made sure our check-in, check-out process was as smooth as possible. Downtown Saratoga is a nice short drive from the property, and it was nice to retreat into a more country vibe by the end of the day. If you’re looking for a peaceful property to wake up at on a weekend morning in any season, this is the property for you! Would 12/10 stay here again!!

About the host

Hosted by Arica Crootof

This is my mother's house where I grew up. I help her with the online reservations and she takes care of the house rentals. It's a beautiful historic home with the oldest part of the house from the early 1830s.
