What an absolute lovely place. We stayed in the Josephine and it was perfect for our needs. The room is decorated in a shabby chic vibe and so warm and welcoming. My husband says this is THE MOST comfortable bed he has ever slept in at a hotel. That says a lot!!! Keep up the great work. The only 2 suggestions I have are: 1) co.mand strip hooks in the bathroom for towels 2) box of tissues Thank you again for letting us use your room. Fabulous and it's definitely on the list to return to.

Charming Nest On The Lake
Charming little hotel right on Saratoga Lake. Format is an old-style "tavern on the bottom, small rooms above" configuration. The room was snug and outfitted in a clean, updated Colonial fashion. Didn't give 5 stars for service, not because it was bad, but it was essentially self-check and stay. Lovely to wake up to the lake outside our window. A couple of caveats that might affect your choice. The rooms are small (at least ours was), so don't plan on spreading your stuff out. If you can't navigate stairs alone or with luggage, ask for a room downstairs. Our room was right over the restaurant/tavern, which stays fairly busy (and noisy) until about 10 PM. We weren't bothered by it, but you might want to check ahead if you turn in early. We'd stay there again without hesitation if our travels take us to that part of the country again.

Beautiful inn right on the lake. Loved the convenience of coming & going with the code to the inn and room. Room was quaint and comfy. Views of the lake were beautiful. We went off season so many of the amenities were not available. We would love to come back in season as you can see how much fun it would be then.

Great place to stay steps from Lake Saratoga and about a half hour drive into Saratoga Springs. Plenty of dining options within a ten minute drive, including the on-site waterfront restaurant (dinner). Check in was smooth, although DIY, with good communication via email providing access codes. Clean comfortable room. Free coffee and snack bars. Didn't need so many pillows which took up precious room to store travel bags. Enjoyed the stay otherwise,

The nest - a place for birds of all feathers
The property was cozy and quaint - exactly what you would want with a romantic or relaxation gettaway from the big hotel chains. The restaurant had exceptional live music, interesting and friendly locals and great food and drink. The room was exceptionally well maintained and clean. Check in and out was easy. Have raved about it to our friends and we’ll stay again!

We had a very nice stay at the nest. We were in the off season so I'm sure it was quieter than the summer. The Saratoga room was clean and cozy. It took awhile for the water to get hot, but once it did there was plenty of it. The decor was nice throughout the entire place. The onsite restaurant was good and staff was friendly. I nice little getaway. We would stay there again.

Unaware there was a remote receptionist (AI?). It was dark when I arrived. No one was around outside and the house was completely empty. Eerie. Room was lovely. House is right next to a big boatyard and a restaurant belowmy room. Imagine it could be noisy in summer.

Nous n’avons jamais reçu les infos pour le code de notre porte. Nous sommes restés embarrés dehors à 22h00 le soir au froid, parce que personne nous a donné les instructions pour ouvrir la porte. Par contre l’endroit est super bien situé et la deco est formidable.

Quiet and convenient. Beautiful location on the lake. I’m sure it is much busier in the summer. No check in desk or staff on site, but fine if you are used to air bnb style.

This would have been the perfect place to stay—cute room, nice little features, good location and view— except that it is DIRECTLY over the restaurant and bar, where loud live and recorded music on a Friday night kept us up long after we wanted to be sleeping, as we had an early start the next morning. It was a big annoyance.

Great position and room. 4 comments: chain lock on door reversed so ineffective; center ceiling light not working; i tissue in Kleenex box; bedside table too small for CPAP machine and the clock. See photos.
The chain lock with the reversed bar...

Great place to stay on the lake
Great place to stay near the lake. Having a restaurant and bar directly connect is very convenient Check in had a glitch due to us not getting the welcome email with all the info.
