Amazing! When we arrived it hotel was locked up. I call the number for assistance and quickly received a call from Michelle a wonderful assist. She gave us the codes needed to get into our room and stated on the phone to assure we were comfortable etc. She also suggested areas of interest to us, restaurants and bowling alley. The location was amazing. We could see and hear the water from our room. There was water and snacks as well free for our enjoyment. We will definitely stay again. For us the stay was 5 star.

This small inn is situated at a small beach/marina in a delightfully quiet part of Saratoga Lake. Our room (Lady of the Lake) had a great view of the lake. It was small but lovely. There’s a lively tavern in the inn but the room was remarkably quiet all day and night. There’s an adjacent town picnic area on the lake which is especially nice. Free coffee and oat bars in the corridor (tho no decaf coffee, unfortunately). A well-stocked Stewart’s is a short walk down the road.

Great little inn sitting above a restaurant on Saratoga lake. Easy drive to Saratoga Springs and the races. Also really nice beach right at your doorstep. Room was on the small side, but perfect for a weekend escape.

The Nest is a hidden gem that I almost want to gatekeep! The room was so cute and cozy and nicely decorated. The location was ideal right next to the lake with access to the restaurant, bar, and kayak rentals. We did many activities in Saratoga Springs each day, and the Nest was a lovely retreat to return to each evening. I especially enjoyed drinking my coffee next to the water each morning. My only reason for a neutral rating on the staff was that I never saw or interacted with anyone, but the check in process was seamless through the digital screen outside the entry. I know staff was present as the bed was made and we had fresh towels daily. The only suggestions for improvements I have would be to provide a towel rack or hooks in the Josephine room for wet towels. Also, limited parking for Nest guests made it challenging for overnight when all the spots were taken; however, we discovered additional parking on the opposite side of the building from the entry. I definitely hope to stay at the Nest again!

This is a lovely hotel with 7 guestrooms. It is connected to the restaurant/bar and under the same ownership and management. it is very unconventional, like getting a room at an old-fashioned inn. There is no front desk, no concierge, no room keys. All the communications are through text and email. You are given a numerical code to open your room on a keypad. There is a very nice coffee machine on the second floor and granola bars. The restaurant was fine for lunch and dinner. The college kids who work at the restaurant also clean the guestrooms and were very helpful when we had questions. unfortunately, the nice sandy beach on the lake was not open during our stay. Beautiful view of the lake and sunset on the restaurant deck.
