About this house rental

Located in Saratoga Springs, this lovely house for $850 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. Our home overlooks Putnam Brook, which cuts a deep gorge in a wooded plateau through our property before continuing to Saratoga State Park. The property is a 10-acre oasis of wilderness turned into a private park, including a secluded picnic area on the river bank with a fire pit and multiple decks and balconies overlooking the gardens and valley. You will share the property with birds, deer, wild turkeys, and turtles, which are often seen along the picturesque nature trail. You'll be minutes from the shops and restaurants of Broadway, yet emersed in nature. The house, owned by a European interior designer and her writer husband, combines beauty with comfort. It's filled with original artwork and a mixture of antique and modern furniture, and offers views of nature from its huge windows. Enjoy your morning coffee in the fresh air on the wraparound deck. Watch the fireflies as you dine in the screened-in gazebo at night. Sip a glass of wine in the hot tub, looking at the stars. If you open the windows as you're falling asleep at night, the croaking tree frogs and the babbling brook will lull you to sleep. The house has a fully stocked kitchen, a spacious living room, a cozy breakfast nook, and a formal dining room separated from the living room by two columns and opening to the southern deck through a sliding glass door—perfect for entertaining. If you'd rather not entertain, you can relax in the library. It's filled with books and has a glass outer façade looking out at the brook, providing the perfect spot for meditation. It also has a large TV with multiple streaming services, if you'd rather watch a movie. The home's focal point is the living room. It is a place of comfort and casual elegance, with hardwood flooring, Persian rugs, European antique furniture and comfortable sofas, accented with original paintings of race horses and ballerinas. The cathedral ceiling adds to the grandeur. This home truly has everything you need to enjoy Saratoga Springs to the fullest: -4 bedrooms (2 king and 1 queen bed upstairs, 1 king bed on the lower level). -4 full bathrooms (one master, one shared by the two other bedrooms upstairs, one on the main floor, one on the lower level). -A sparkling clean, fully stocked kitchen. -A formal dining table with garden views. -A lovely breakfast nook looking out at very active birdfeeders. -A living room with two oversized, comfy couches, soaring ceilings, a 20-foot high window and glass doors that open to one of two decks. -A cozy library full of books and a TV with multiple streaming services (this room has a pull-out couch, in case you need an extra bedroom). -An office for those of us who are working remotely. -A dressing room off the master bedroom (in a pinch, this is large enough for an extra mattress). -Two balconies with gorgeous backyard views. -Multiple outdoor dining areas where you can eat under the stars, listening to tree frogs and the babbling brook. If it's drizzling but still warm, you can eat in the screened-in gazebo. -Two fire pits (one near the house surrounded by ample seating, including a swinging bench; the other a short walk away down by the river). -A hot tub overlooking the gardens. -A grill. -Central air-conditioning. -A garden teeming with tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries, and more; tons of flowers; beautiful landscaping. -A private trail along a babbling brook. -And more. This is the perfect house in perfect surroundings! To celebrate your find, toast chilled champagne in the outside hot tub!

Our family gathered from domestic and international origins at Saratoga Springs for a wedding at the end of September, with Albany Airport a quick drive up the NY thruway to this lovely home. Grayzna was a pleasure to deal with, quick to respond to questions and emails, and followed up with us quickly upon our return home. The house reflected her artistic design with its European Flair, which was just beautiful. The property, very private, was well appointed with places to soak up the sun, gather for conversation, and offered easy convenience to town and the wedding venue. The house provided all the needed amenities for our group of travelers, along with comfortable and private rooms, modern bathrooms and kitchen, and many personal touches. We enjoyed a carefree visit thanks to the owners' ability to foresee our every possible need. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful home, Grazyna. We hope to have an opportunity to come again, and highly recommend your lovely home and property!

What a wonderful home to have rented to celebrate a very special occasion with my family. We met up from Ma., New Orleans, NYC,and Ithaca, NY. The home was perfect, very comfortable, beautiful artwork, enough bedrooms for us all, lovely jacuzzi's, a fantastic 10 acres of land around the house and quiet. We even hired an acapella group from Skidmore College to sing for our 90 yr. "young" mothers Birthday party! The acoustics in the living room made the " concert" sound perfect. Those young men were terrific, and sang about 6 songs for us all. We had everything we needed at the house and it was a pleasure. Of course being 7 minutes from Saratoga Springs was a total delight too. Easy to drive into. The owners were nice people and showed us the house to make sure we knew what the home had. It was a delightful stay.

My friends and I have an annual get together in October, choosing a new location each year. This house was by far the best compared to the five previous locations we have stayed at. The house is grand, but cozy at the same time, and fit 10 ladies comfortably. Grazyna was extremely gracious. The home was well stocked with high quality kitchen tools, spices and condiments. Having rented houses for the past 20 years, I am accustomed to bringing a lot of spices, olive oil, toilet paper, paper towels, dishwashing liquid, sponges, etc. We were surprised to see how well-equipped the house was and how refreshing to hear her say that we were welcome to use anything we needed. A class act! The house was spotless and as other reviewers have said, it is even more beautiful in person than the pictures depict. I would definitely return to this home.

Our family came together from all corners, and we gathered under this roof for a wedding celebration in Saratoga Springs....believe me no one complained about my choice in accommodations!! This house was so tastefully decorated (mix of Ikea modern,old world antiques, the art you see in the pics is throughout the house and African wood sculptures. All beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was perfect for morning and evening gatherings....also no complaints from our chefs (amply supplied). The house is nestled in the trees with a view of the lawns that is serene. Not far from all things happening in Saratoga, but it has a "out in the woods" atmosphere. A great fire pit next to the water, you climb down a set of stairs at the back of the lawn which obscures the house from view (just the water, fire, and you!) A driveway that fits multiple vehicles and a two car garage. This pick was the first rental (of many) that actually exceeded the description. Our host Grazyna was so gracious! Showed the house and let us know they were both available should we need anything to make us more comfortable and then left us to it. A real gem of a place to stay.

This was the perfect house to spend a week gathering family while celebrating our daughter's wedding in Saratoga. Every aspect of the house and property was inviting and relaxing. There are many lovely spots to sit and visit. Hands down, our favorite gathering place was at the kitchen table with the comfy curved banquette along the windows. The house had everything we needed and more. We did not need to go out to eat and we did not want to. The bedrooms are located on the upper and basement levels which allowed guests to have private, quiet and peaceful areas for retreat. The owners are lovely people and we are full of gratitude for them sharing their wonderful home with us.

We don't want to be too repeticious, but we echo other recent reviews. This beautiful home was as much and more than we expected. We were able to enjoy all aspects of this home and property from the hot tub to the patios and to just exploring the large property. We were here during the Saratoga Race meet and really enjoyed going to the races and then returning for wine and munchies on the patio. We certainly hope to return.

We recently returned from two wonderful weeks of family vacation at this lovely home. Our experience was outstanding and all descriptions are accurate. As other reviewers have mentioned, the home is even better than the pictures, The kitchen is well-stocked for preparing family meals, the grill works well, and the home is comfortable and tastefully decorated. After walking the beautifully landscaped grounds and relaxing on the deck, we often skipped plans to go into town since we enjoyed our surroundings so much. The location is a wonderful mix of grounds to explore and proximity to shopping, restaurants, racing, and more. Grazyna and Kris are welcoming and helpful hosts and we certainly plan to return!

The house is set in a lovely glade with surrounding wood so a lovely large lawn but privacy and some shade. It's design takes advantage of the setting and looks traditional from the outside. Inside its contemporary with natural finishes, wooden floor, slate, stone. Beautiful. It flows along through its open plan layout. Favourite spots were the breakfast nook and the library. Grazyna is very gracious and kind and a perfect host. Her stories were very interesting in the brief time we spoke, as she really respects your privacy. There were pictures of her husband kris with lech walesa during the polish revolution, fascinating. I so enjoyed watering the plants, and silently wandering around the grounds. In early evening my 6 year old daughter and I stood and let the fireflies buzz around us, she said it was like stars had fallen from the skies. I am an art lover and grazyna's house is full of original pieces,which I really enjoyed. This is a peaceful comfortable house but within 5 minutes of town, a great combination. Our hostess was trusting, respectful and the house was immaculate. Thanks again we would love to come back.
