Perfect Stay at the Nest

Another fantastic stay at The Nest. We first enjoyed the awesome food and service with live music by Dan Mellon at Doc Brown's. Then we went upstairs at our comfortable and clean room at the Nest. Our stay was perfect! Thank you to the incredible staff at this gem! We'll be back!

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.

Relaxing

I believe I was the only guest while I was there. Right now, Saratoga Lake is way off season. There were a few things that needed to be done. For example, there was no heat to the room. Once I let them know, there was plenty of heat. Everyone was very nice and friendly. I couldn't have asked for nicer staff.

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,
