Thank you for an excellent stay! You provided everything we needed and were so helpful and available as hosts. Everything was lovely and clean. We look forward to staying with you again in the future!
Our stay at the residence in Ballston Spa was amazing. It has a very spacious property that we all enjoyed including our pet. The hosts are exceptionally friendly and definitely take care of guests and the property very well. The location is central to everywhere we wanted to go from Albany to Saratoga and far enough into the country where it is peaceful and quiet. The hosts were exceptional with communication. Check in and finding the property was very easy. The studio is very well appointed has all the equipment and utensils to prepare a home cooked meal which we utilized. It is a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. We would definitely recccomed this to anyone looking for the same amenities in a place to stay. The location also has a campfire pit that we utilized and chairs provided. Looking forward to booking again next summer.
This was a beautiful property. Exactly as advertised, clean, well furnished, lovely extra touches and excellent communication with the owners. I would 100% recommend and would book again!

Thank you! We appreciate the feedback and hope you will come stay again.
Our most recent trip to the area for a reunion found us looking for accommodations close by and we were lucky to find this gem! Quiet, well appointed and very clean! I highly recommend.
Studio was large, very clean and organized. It was a great fit for us since we were out with family during the day but very relaxing to come home and relax.
Everything was perfect. So much there for our use during our stay. The yard is beautiful and private. Would definitely stay there again!

Very clean and quiet
Fantastic stay! Very clean, host’s attention to detail is evident everywhere you look. It’s far enough out that it’s very quiet, but to very far from the villages. Thanks!
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this studio! The property managers had great communication in advance and during rental. The space itself is wonderful and a great area to stay in to visit Saratoga Springs and nearby attractions. The space was comfortable, clean, quiet and the hosts had many special touches and everything you need for the stay! Highly recommend!
Property was super clean and convenient. Owner contacted via text well ahead of time and made sure all was well (it was!). Location was conveniently between Albany area and Adirondacks, which was exactly what I wanted. Homemade cookies were an added treat!
We had an excellent stay for 3 nights at Modern Studio < 13 Mi to Saratoga Racetrack! It was easy to connect with the hosts, and we had everything + more we could need or want. The hosts put a lot of thought and effort into creating a welcoming and enjoyable space. Highly recommend!
This place was great and everything was just easy! The thoughtfulness of Paul and Michelle was just perfect! We totally recommend this rental!

Excellent and Quiet!
Our stay was delightful and easeful at the Modern Studio < 13 Mi to Saratoga Racetrack! The hosts were readily available before, during and after for communicating. We had everything we needed plus more. It really felt like we were honored guests. Highly recommend.
I came to the area with my dog for a 3-day dog training program in Halfmoon. I was looking for a more private spot than the recommended hotel, and I'm so glad I found it! The area is so peaceful and the studio is amazing, spotless and spacious! Paul and Michelle are great hosts, very responsive and so accommodating. They thought of everything to make you feel at home, from an array of coffee and teas to homemade chocolate chip cookies and dog treats! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with great amenities. Definitely one of my favorite place!
My husband and I were thrilled with our visit to the Modern Studio in Ballston Spa. The in-person facilities were even more lovely than the pictures, with many thoughtful, extra touches that made the setting special and comfortable. We were conveniently located, allowing us to enjoy the in-town festivities as well as the beautiful, peaceful countryside. Our companion was our very energetic 15-month old golden retriever who took great joy in running (and running and running) around the huge yard. Thank you!
My husband and I wanted to get away for our 30 th anniversary! We settled on the Hudson River Valley in New York. We rented the most charming modern studio for 4 nights. It was immaculately clean and the furnishings were charming and modern! There were restaurant choices for local fare listed on a guide and also some highlights of the area. The owners live on site. We did not see them but they responded to text messages quickly!
The location was close to Ballston Spa and about 13 miles to Saratoga Springs, my husband and I loved the area! We would definitely make this an annual trip and would not hesitate to stay at this VRBO again!

THE PLACE TO STAY!
We stayed in Ballston Spa on our way back south after roadtripping up to Acadia National Park in Maine. We made lots of stops between home in North Carolina and our destination in Bar Harbor, and Michelle and Paul’s place was by far our favorite! Their rental studio met every one of the Three Cs: Clean, Comfortable, and Cozy. Not only was the space a welcoming environment after a full day of traveling, but they truly went above and beyond to make our the visit special — a handwritten welcome note and fresh cookies on the desk when we arrived, a basket with materials for s’mores that we could make around the outdoor fire pit, shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the shower, and a list of local restaurants in the area. Some people just know how to host and these are two of them! We would recommend a stay at this beautiful property to anyone and are grateful for the wonderful experience!

Peaceful and Cozy
My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our stay. The space was the perfect size for us and our dog. The amenities including kitchenware, games to play, coffee/tea assortment and a smallLibrary. Finding some complimentary refreshments in the fridge were an added bonus! The property itself is very quiet and serene. It truly felt like we were in a private home. I appreciated how well the hosts communicated check in instructions and the personal touch of a welcome note with cookies. I was also very impressed with the idea of a trash can outside our door to collect used doggie bags. Everything they added to the space was very thoughtfully planned out. I’d definitely recommend this space for anyone interested in visiting the nearby area. Everything was exactly as advertised and was very pleased with our overall stay.
This studio rental was perfect! It was tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable. It was thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need (spices, coffee, tea, half & half, snacks, laundry detergent, hairdryer, toothbrush and toothpaste, firewood, s’mores stuff. I could go on and on!)
The property was super quiet and, despite being shared with the hosts, felt very private. The hosts were helpful and friendly but gave us our privacy.
There’s so much to do in the Saratoga Springs area. Check out the polo school for matches or harness racing at the casino and watch the thoroughbreds practice at the racetrack.
My friend and I stayed here for Memorial Day weekend. Paul and Michelle messaged me in advance, making our late night arrival seamless. There was a warm welcome note and delicious cookies waiting for us upon arrival . The studio is immaculate and inviting. Paul and Michelle have attended to every detail - I enjoyed my complimentary Starbucks every morning and my fur baby loved the ball and treats that were there to make her stay enjoyable too! We enjoyed breakfast and dinner at some quaint restaurants in town and Saratoga Springs/Saratoga Lake is only about 20 minute away. We had a wonderfully relaxing stay! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
