Great property with great Hosts
My entire wedding party stayed at the castle together and we loved all the space and rooms. The Karaoke machine was a bunch of fun and the kitchen was massive with everything we needed in it, including some seasonings that we forgot to bring ourselves.
The hosts were also extremely attentive to their property and constantly available for questions during our stay. We'd love to come back again sometime!

Great bachelor party spot
It's hard to find a place large enough for 16 people. This once was perfect and left plenty of room to spare. No nearby neighbors. Huge patio and yard. Solid kitchen and grill set ups. Great for a bachelor party!

We had a great time! The castle is definitely the place to stay when going to Saratoga Springs with family. There were multiple sitting areas, both inside and out. The new hot tub is amazing. We would definitely rent again!

Beautiful property near Saratoga!
My husband and I rented this property for a small intimate wedding celebration and we couldn't have been happier with our decision!! The host was extremely communicative and professional as well as accommodating! The home had anything you could need or want - from a beautiful backyard, ping pong, pool, firepits, hot tub, karaoke - you name it! 10/10 would recommend to friends or family!!

Very Nice!
The house is very spacious and clean. It has a lovely yard for hanging out with friends. The only issue, the cabinets and fridge had left over food and condiments. I would prefer not to have others left overs in the house But otherwise, it was a great place to stay with a group of nine women.

Great bachelor party weekend
I had my bachelor weekend here and it was an excellent choice. The residence was very clean and very spacious for plenty of guests. The backyard was great for cornhole, pong, lawn games and the hot tub is a nice bonus. Only 10-15 min drive to downtown Saratoga. This is a very unique place! I highly recommend it.
