New - First floor lakefront condo, dock access, walk to marina & restaurants!

First floor lakefront living at its best (no stairs). Literally 20 steps to the water’s edge with breathtaking panoramic lake views! Features include:
• One bedroom, one full bath
• Complimentary WiFi and Smart TV’s so you can “work and play from home.”
• Large kitchen and great room concept with sliding doors leading to the lakefront patio from the living room and bedroom.
• Living room has a sleeper for additional sleeping accommodations (unit sleeps up to 4 people)
• Patio has a Tiki bar/Key West vibe that leads directly to the 160 ft long dock (note the dock is shared with 2nd and 3rd floor condo units)
• Guests will be able to use the dock for fishing, swimming and parking their water sporting equipment.
• Incredible property to enjoy the lake activities (boating, jet ski, sail, fish, swim) and yet just a short drive to downtown Saratoga Springs to enjoy the track, SPAC, spas and incredible restaurants and entertainment...A great blend of fun!
• You can walk to a marina to rent boats, kayaks and more!
• This unit can be combined with the 2nd or 3rd floor condos to accommodate your needs. Please reference listings:
o https://www.vrbo.com/3925247ha (2nd floor condo)
o https://www.vrbo.com/911703ha (3rd floor condo)

• During the winter season, the docks are removed from the lake and are placed on the patio for storage, so the patio, while accessible, will not have the ambiance that you see in the photos, but you’ll still be able to go out on the patio through the sliding glass doors to enjoy morning coffee, easy access to the lake for cross country skiing, hiking, ice fishing, snowmobiling and so much more. Always be safe and ensure the ice is thick enough before venturing out on the lake. During the summer season, the patio will have a tropical feel as if you’re in Key West, Bali or at beautiful Saratoga Lake!
• Please note that if second floor guests are staying at the property, they will be able to use the spiral stairs you see leading from the 2nd floor deck to the dock. We wanted to let you know so you wouldn’t be surprised if you saw guests using the stairs. If you rent both the 1st and 2nd floor units, you’ll be able to move freely between the two units.



Restaurants near the house:
• Carson’s Woodside Tavern - great food, outdoor fire pits, fun vibe and entertainment on the weekend (short drive from the property)
• Dock Browns (next to Brown’s Beach) - waterfront dining with gorgeous lake views!
• Nostalgia Ale House & Wine Bar …next to South Shore Marina…just a short walk from the property!
• Panza’s Restaurant (next to Dock Browns)
• Lake Local – brand new lakefront restaurant located at the north end of Saratoga Lake – great food, fire pits and incredible charm!
• Prime at Saratoga National Golf Club – World-class golfing and incredible dining with beautiful views, fire pits and water fountains!


Fun things to do at the lake:
o Rent a boat or Kayak at nearby South Shore Marina just a short walk from the property!
o Visit Brown's Beach: Brown's Beach is one of the only public swimming spot on Saratoga Lake. This community favorite swimming spot was closed for roughly a decade and recently has been opened to the public again. It has a shallow launch area and is a great area for learning any type of water sport. Picnic and volleyball area is available.
o Rent a Kayak from The Kayak Shak: What better way to experience Saratoga Lake during the summer than to rent a Kayak or paddleboard? The Kayak Shak also offers tours, community barbecues and bird and nature watching. And if this is your first time kayaking, The Kayak Shak will show you the ropes!
o Go Fishing: Saratoga Lake boasts one of the best fishing spots in the region. The Lake is excellent for bass fishing and the deepest section of the lake is 96 feet. The Lake is also stocked with over 8 million walleye. The weed beds framing the shoreline are great for anglers fishing northern pike. Around for the winter? Ice fishing is also permitted - make sure to check out the annual Ice Fishing Derby.
o Take an Afternoon to Golf: If you are an avid golfer, The Saratoga Lake Golf Club is a beautiful resort in the heart of the Adirondacks. Play 18 holes overlooking the peaceful Lake and join an annual tournament. And if you are a part of the new New York Golf Trail, the Saratoga Lake Golf Course has recently been added.
o The Saratoga Lake is home to rural canoe, kayak, and nature trails, snaking through the Kayaderosseras Creek and ending in the Saratoga Lake, giving you access to Fish Creek and Lake Lonely. The trail offers relatively mild paddling in the spring and autumn with several opportunities for whitewater when the river runs high.

• Saratoga Springs (The Spa City) is just a short drive away. Explore the wonderful downtown and then come back to the house for incredible views, fishing, boating, jet skiing, water skiing or simply relaxing! Here are a few of the fun activities and places to enjoy in Saratoga Springs:
o Chianti Il Ristorante, who serve sophisticated, authentic Northern Italian fare in an elegant setting….and have a fun happy hour!)

o Saratoga Race Course: Also known as Saratoga Racetrack or 'the flat track', Saratoga Race Course is the oldest continually operating Thoroughbred horse racing track in the United States. The track is home to the Travers Stakes, 'America's Mid-Summer Derby' which occurs in late August.
o Saratoga Performing Arts Center: Referred to by locals and frequent visitors as 'SPAC', this outdoor performing arts venue features classical performances, the Saratoga Jazz Festival, the Saratoga Wine and Food Festival and major pop and rock concerts. It is the summer home of the New York City Ballet and The Philadelphia Orchestra.

Best VRBO on the lake
We wanted a weekend getaway on the lake during the fall. Thankfully, Nick and Lynn were extremely kind and patient as we had some schedule conflicts. They are always accomodating and always our 1st choice to stay in one of their many VRBO's which we love. Whether it is just my husband and I while having our college daughter visit or when we book a larger property to accommodate our other adult children forna family weekend. Everything is always clean and perfect.

More stars are needed...
If you travel a lot, like we do, every now and then you stay at a location that deserves the 6th star. The quality of the apartment and amenities were all first class. Through good fortune we met one of the owners (Nick) and had an instant connection. The other two units in the building were vacant (rare I'm sure) and Nick gave us a tour. He and his wife Lynn have done an outstanding job furnishing all the units and the location looking out onto the lake? Well, that adds the 6th star. If you are planning a trip anywhere in the Saratoga Springs area, look into the availability of this property. You'll be very happy you did.

Lake & Racetrack ladies weekend!
Nick’s little bungalow was perfect for us three gals for a track weekend! We were able to enjoy the lake and it’s views and restaurants on Friday and the race track on Saturday. The restaurant at browns beach was great for lunch. If you are having dinner most lake places close early FYI. Home was clean and cool and had everything we needed. It is a lake community so follow the parking instructions after you drop your bags. Neighbors were very nice too! Would rent again for the best of both worlds. Nick was always in communication if we needed anything. Great time for a weekend away!

Weekend at the lake.
We booked the lake house for a short getaway and wanted to be in close proximity to Saratoga. This lakefront home was perfect for our needs, and we found it to be clean, comfortable, and well stocked. We loved the idea of having our own private lakefront patio, the view was incredible! Our only negative comment would be that we found the designated parking area inconvenient, especially at night when we came back from dinner, it was not lit very well for the short walk to the apartment. We definitely will remember this place for a future visit!
