About this space This Lakeview Cottage is located on the south end of Ballston Lake. 20 min to Saratoga Race Track, Saratoga Performing Arts Center, and downtown Saratoga shopping district with multiple dining choices. Only 40 min to Lake George and Six Flags. Close to bike trails and newly built public fishing pier and kayak launch. Enjoy all that this area has to offer then come home and relax, enjoy dinner outside on the large deck overlooking the lake or enjoy a game of Corn hole in the fenced in backyard.
We had a great stay. The home was very clean and cool, there were ample supplies- paper products, towels, kitchen items, etc., and the complimentary water dispenser was much appreciated. We loved spending time on the deck, the lake community was very quiet and safe, check in was simple, and owner was very responsive when we reached out with a question. Great stay over all and we hope to find this again next summer when we're back in the area.
We loved Lakeview Cottage. It was spacious. Even with 4 adults staying we had plenty of room. The furniture is sturdy & comfortable. The deck is amazing. The entire property is warm & welcoming.There were games we enjoyed playing. Just all around the perfect place for this visit.
Honest Review: âLakeviewâ CottageThe name Lakeview feels a bit misleading. The main view from the deck overlooks a rock pit, and while you can glimpse the lake through the trees, itâs quite distant.Upon entering, youâll notice a floor air conditioner in the kitchen, venting through a window. The main living space relies on two ceiling fansâwhich also serve as the only overhead lighting on the first floor. Unfortunately, during our stay, with outdoor temperatures at 93 degrees, it was still 82 degrees inside. The only effectively cooled space was the upstairs bedroom, which has a window AC unit.The bathrooms could use some attention. The main shower has two fixtures: a handheld sprayer that didnât work and a small high-pressure nozzle with very low water pressure. Additionally, neither bathroom has ventilation.Regarding the waterâthis property uses well water, which has a strong odor. We were only made aware of this the morning of check-in, and it did affect our comfort level with using the water.We also noticed cleaning concerns, including hair left in the shower, despite a 125 cleaning fee.Overall, we found the property did not meet our expectations in terms of comfort, amenities, and value for the price. We had booked for two nights but chose not to stay even one full night.If ratings allowed, weâd give this a zero.
Lake house was great. Our trip to the area to visit relatives was very satisfying. Amenities of our hostâs house were excellent. Kitchen, living rm, dining, washer dryer, deck with bbq grill that we used. Saw the foosball table in the pictures and was indifferent about it..but it actually was the source of some friendly competitive fun⊠very enjoyable. I recommend this location and will perhaps have a return visit myself in the future.
