You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Walking Distance to Everything! Pet Friendly with Fully Fenced Yard! Track/SPAC

Your family will be close to everything when you stay at this cozy, centrally-located, pet friendly, home. The Horse Lover is conveniently located next to restaurants, track, SPAC, hospital, bars, and everything you could need. It is right next to Railroad Run so you can enjoy walking & cycling safely away from traffic.

It offers brand new appliances, furniture and linens and is across the street from Market32 so you can grab & go or get groceries and cook in this spacious, well-stocked chef’s kitchen. Market32 also has a full Starbucks inside, so if you're a fan... you're in luck!

There are some really great restaurants in walking distance too. Mama Mia's Italian Restaurant is across the street and is a local's favorite.

Railroad Run is right next to the house. It's an amazing walking/cycling paved and/or gravel path that is super dog friendly! You can use this path to walk to the State Park (just 1.0 miles away) including SPAC, YMCA's awesome health club and more! There are also bicycles available to rent on the RailTrail so you can cycle around town too.

There are 2 bathrooms on the 1st floor. One bathroom has a large shower and the other one is a 1/2 bath, with no shower.

The Horse Lover sleeps 5 comfortably, but can fit 6 "if you REALLY love each other" because 2 people would need to sleep on the full-size sleeper sofa. You will need permission for 6 guests, bc we prefer 5 or less. Here's a link to how to use the Sleeper Sofa:

HEIGHT ALERT! The Horse Lover was built in 1940 and it's charming structure can accommodate folks that are <=6 feet tall in the Primary Bedroom (upstairs). Our tall guests are best suited for sleeping downstairs... or just 'MIND YOUR HEAD' upstairs.

FENCED YARD! The yard is fully fenced and secured so you can relax while your pups wander and explore (just keep the gates closed). Not only is the yard fenced, there is a new stone patio with a propane-powered fire pit and very comfortable outdoor furniture to relax after a long day at the track or an evening at SPAC. There's also an eating area outside to sit and sip. You'll love the peace and privacy!

EV Charging across the street!

Loved the Horse Lovers cottage. Very modern with cool touches. Everything available and the convenience of Price Chopper a stone throw away. We were able to walk to Broadway where all the action’s at. Overall, wonderful experience for a fraction of the cost.

Lovely newly renovated home in convenient location!
This house far exceeded our expectations! Larger than the listing looks. Brand new everything. Lots of special details like nightlights, hooks to hang things and places for your jewelry. Kitchen was well equipped, beds comfy. Small entryway room with daybed (twin XL) was great for an extra visitor. Owner prompt to respond to all questions. Nice patio in the backyard with firepit. Next to an awesome grocery store, and walking distance to town or the racetrack (if you're a good walker). Nice trail starts at the backyard to the park and golf course. Highly recommend!

Giddy Up!
We stayed at the Horse Lover for a long weekend. The house was beautifully decorated, utilizing the compact space efficiently and in style. The Horse Lover has a grand kitchen with wonderful appliances and great space. Backyard has patio and firepit areas. The main bedroom is upstairs so if you have any climbing concerns, there are sleeping areas downstairs as well. The Horse Lover is right across from the Price Chopper for quick eats, cooking for later, or simple snacks. The shopping area also includes Mamma Mia’s - a must Italian restaurant while in Saratoga. We walked everywhere - easy flat sidewalks, about 20 to 30 minutes to town or to the race tracks. Robin, the VRBO host, was responsive and had great ideas for restaurants and Saratoga outings. We look forward to staying at the Horse Lover again to enjoy more of Saratoga!!

Charming cottage in the heart of Saratoga Springs
My family gathered for a baby shower and 4 of us stayed at the Horse Lover. This small but charming cottage was so welcoming and well equipped! Beautifully decorated, comfortable and scrupulously clean! The 2 bathrooms were a plus and the large, well equipped kitchen was perfect for us to prepare food for our event. I had my elderly Australian shepherd with me and she was made welcome with dishes and treats. A few things to note - parking is very tight and we needed to leave one car across the street at the market. Also, we had planned on 5 adults and 1 was unable to attend which ended up being a blessing. The sleeping arrangements are suitable for only 3 to 4 adults rather than the 6 that they say in the listing. And be aware, as with most VRBO properties additional fees and required insurance were hefty and ended up costing us more than the rental rate.

A cozy house, a lovely stay!
This house was perfect for us (two adults plus our dog), and we had a lovely stay. It was super clean and it has all the modern amenities that you need. There were even dog bowls and treats for our dog. I also love the proximity to downtown (walkable on a nice day), and that there’s a supermarket across the street. Looking forward to returning!
