Mid- Century Dream
We loved the mid century furnishings in Lydia's Cottage. It was sparkling clean and had everything we needed. We spent a lot of time on the front porch. We liked walking though the Beekman Street Arts District on our way downtown. My 3 year old nephew enjoyed the playground. We hope to stay again.

The house was exactly as called out in VRBO, great location with a very responsive host, very clean and well decorated. There was a very moist smell in the house each time we entered. The yard was not cut, not allowing us to bring over friends small children. The host requested we do a bit of cleaning prior to leaving, that was a bit shocking knowing we paid a cleaning fee. Would recommend the host house directions be put in a more positive spin.

Amazing location for children, teens and adults!
My children loved walking to the park and ride their bikes in the area. My husband and I love the proximity from all the restaurants and the nightlife that Saratoga had to offer. We will definitely book it again.
