We stayed on the property for 4 nights. Wish the weather would have cooperated more but not the properties problem. We cooked breakfast every morning. Everything you needs to make breakfast was available. Will definitely stay at the property in the future.

Spacious home on a beautiful lake
My husband and I stayed with a another couple in this beautiful home on the lake. The main floor has a large kitchen/living room area and a spacious sunroom where we enjoyed our coffee every morning looking out at the great view of the lake. There were several options to have our meals including a large kitchen table, however, because the weather was so nice we chose to eat either at the table in the sunroom or at the one on the deck. The lake is very clean and we took advantage of the kayaks that were at the property to explore the lake. The upstairs bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. Michael is a great host! He responded quickly to any questions we had. Looking forward to coming back to this home again soon!

Beautiful lakefront vacation home
The multiple porches and dock were ideal, and we loved to kayak on the beautiful lake. The communication with the owner was very good.

Lovely
Our family of 5 enjoyed the very roomy, clean and comfortable lake house. Took full advantage, daily, of the kayaks & zero gravity chairs on lakeside dock. The fishing was good right off the dock as well as out in kayak. The house flowed nicely from Kitchen to sunroom. Bedrooms very spacious and we all slept great on comfy beds! Very quiet lake. Our host was very kind. Thank you , again. We hope to visit another time, God willing. M.L.

Lovely lake retreat
We had a wonderful stay at this Galway lake rental. Our host, Michael, was friendly and gracious when we arrived, showing us around and making us comfortable with his home. He even came by when I called with a few questions about lighting and fan controls. The rental itself was everything the pictures depicted. Just beautiful, roomy and relaxing with an amazing view of the lake. We kayaked, walked, had a day at the races and enjoyed fires at night in the outdoor fire pit. We loved being at the lake and hope to come back. Susan Naple

Shortcomings but overall enjoyable
We rented this property because of it's proximity to Saratoga Springs and it's location on a lake. We did not receive checkin information or a key and sent messages with no response. The house was open when we arrived. There was no key for us to lock the house. The house was tastefully decorated and clean with the exception of cobwebs in all rooms. The cooking pans were aged, and difficult to clean. The AC in the front bedroom facing the lake could not be used because the remote did not work and we did not have a phillips screwdriver or batteries or directions. TV in front sunroom did not work because it could not connect to the internet/wifi. We could not use the wifi until Monday when Michael came to the house with batteries and discovered the paper with wifi password and username were wrong. Linens and mattresses were superior. Towels and toiletries were provided and excellent quality. The phone number we were given was the old property manager number that was listed on the listing. There was no instruction booklet about using appliances or the check-in or check-out process. Michael gave us a key on Monday, the 3rd day of our stay, changed batteries and showed us how to use A/C. The kayaks had to be cleaned as they were covered in slugs, dirt, leaves and debris. The furniture on the decks had to be cleaned with a hose because they were also dirty. The exterior of the house is not as clean as the photos indicate. In spite of these pitfalls, we enjoyed our stay.

Fourth of July on the Lake
The house was wonderful. Large enough to host a group of 7 friends comfortably. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. The lake is beautiful - we sat on the dock surrounded by fish and a family of ducks and watched a bald eagle circling the lake from the kayaks. Would absolutely recommend to anyone traveling as a group or a family.

Great location on peaceful Galway Lake!
Such a lovely property! We had a total of 7 adult family members for our first get-together since COVID and really enjoyed our stay. The lake was beautiful and so peaceful, and we loved relaxing on the anti-gravity chairs on the dock. We kayaked, cooked in the large kitchen, made smores by the fire outside, and enjoyed spending time together in the bright, comfy sunroom. The two upstairs bedrooms were huge. The upstairs bathroom was also big and had plenty of towels. The two downstairs bedrooms were small and one of those bedrooms only had a twin bed and did not have a door, but it worked out fine for us since we had 7 people and not 8. The location was only 30 minutes from downtown Saratoga Springs, which was super convenient for those of us who went to the track. We appreciated that Michael stopped by on the second day to give us the lay of the land. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful setting
We loved the outdoors. The lake is beautiful and we swam and used the boat and kayaks. The house was very well decorated and had a terrific family room. The only issue with the house was that there was a one step up to enter eachbedroom in the second floor. So if you are older or don’t see well, it would be easy to fall. Our host, Michael, was very nice and treated us to a couple if pay per view movies. I would stay here again.

Great fishing!
Nice and quiet, beautiful view of the lake, loved the sunroom and deck to sit and look out over the lake. Nice dock with chairs for fishing. Used kayaks almost everyday. Caught lots of fish from dock and from kayaks out on the lake. House was well equipped. Michael was very responsive when we had questions. We would go back.
