I really enjoyed the scenic views that the property had to offer (check the listing so you can select a room with a view if this is important to you). I enjoyed dinner downstairs in the tavern while sitting on the back porch. Watched the sun set while enjoying dinner and a drink. I appreciated the contactless entry and checkout and the little shared kitchen for morning coffee.

Pictures made this look a little more remote, but it's actually connected to a restaurant and next to a public beach and a busy road. Very clean room; also small. The Fish Creek room does not have a view of the water, but the road noise is not bad.

It was great for stopping by for the night. Room was smaller than expected with a 6’4 husband but we made it work. The views of the lake were great! Parking was a little confusing at first, but worked out as well. Great little lakeside stop :)

Lovely and clean location. Very quiet because of off-season timing. But also because we were there off-season, there was no one on site. We did have one question and we were able to contact someone to get answers.

Used The Nest on Saratoga Lake as our base of operations while attending the Saratoga Jazz Festival at SPAC. Stayed in the Owl's Den room, which is one flight up; not too many stairs for these seniors.
Communication before we arrived was smooth, and the location is easy to find. Parking was right in front. Especially liked the no-contact registration; you just go to your (keypad locked) room!
The view of the lake and surroundings is stunning! The room was cozy and the bed comfortable. Amenities included DirectTV, extra bedding in case it got cold, a few toiletries, snacks and bottled water. Towels were big and the enclosed shower stall was nice and hot. Outside the room were a microwave, Keurig coffee machine and pods, and small fridge. Very convenient!
Also convenient was the attached restaurant, Dock Brown's. Service and food were great! Even got to sample an ale I had not heard of: Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale. And it was excellent.
