Welcome to Escape From Saratoga. A cozy 3-bedroom home in the Adirondack foothills on 50 private acres, just minutes to Saratoga Springs. Step onto the brand-new treetop deck for morning coffee, circle the firepit after dark, and let the woods do their quiet magic.
o Made for easy days. The sunny kitchen flows straight to the deck, big windows frame the pines, and the spaces are set for families—gather-round dining table, comfy seating, and simple, thoughtful touches throughout. Fast Wi-Fi, self check-in, and easy parking keep everything stress-free.

Who it’s perfect for
Families with kids and/or pets, SPAC weekends, Race Course fans, leaf-peepers, remote workers, nature-lovers, hikers, and anyone who wants Saratoga access without sacrificing privacy.
Worth knowing
• Waterfall is always present, but the water volume is seasonal. It typically flows after snowmelt and solid rains (can be very dry July-October)
• Vintage home = a few harmless quirks like a couple of sticky windows that won’t stay open without a prop. We keep the home well-maintained but have tried to keep the vintage character intact.
• Wildlife lives here. You may see deer, foxes, turkeys and birds of prey from the kitchen window.
• No ridiculous rules: throw your trash away, and treat the home as your own 🙂
• Plenty of firewood by the fire pit – we allot guests one bucket (approx.) for free per night stay
• This is our second home, so you will find it very well stocked with anything that you might need – including condiments in the fridge, and feminine hygiene products in the bathroom. As it is our second home it will not feel like a hotel; there are pictures on the walls, vintage glassware in the cupboards, and a surplus of lived-in character.

As Katrina Trask (Yaddo) once wrote, “This is a house of dreams… not only mine, but yours also, if you enter with your heart.” That spirit lives on here — in every cozy room, every winding trail through the trees, and every thoughtful detail curated for your stay by a family with deep roots in Saratoga stretching back many generations.
Whether you’re here for the races, the foliage, a solo retreat, or a cozy weekend by the fire: this isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place to breathe, remember, and feel at home. We look forward to hosting you at Escape from Saratoga!
