THE PLACE TO STAY!

We stayed in Ballston Spa on our way back south after roadtripping up to Acadia National Park in Maine. We made lots of stops between home in North Carolina and our destination in Bar Harbor, and Michelle and Paul’s place was by far our favorite! Their rental studio met every one of the Three Cs: Clean, Comfortable, and Cozy. Not only was the space a welcoming environment after a full day of traveling, but they truly went above and beyond to make our the visit special — a handwritten welcome note and fresh cookies on the desk when we arrived, a basket with materials for s’mores that we could make around the outdoor fire pit, shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the shower, and a list of local restaurants in the area. Some people just know how to host and these are two of them! We would recommend a stay at this beautiful property to anyone and are grateful for the wonderful experience!

Fantastic Modern Studio

My husband and I wanted to get away for our 30 th anniversary! We settled on the Hudson River Valley in New York. We rented the most charming modern studio for 4 nights. It was immaculately clean and the furnishings were charming and modern! There were restaurant choices for local fare listed on a guide and also some highlights of the area. The owners live on site. We did not see them but they responded to text messages quickly! The location was close to Ballston Spa and about 13 miles to Saratoga Springs, my husband and I loved the area! We would definitely make this an annual trip and would not hesitate to stay at this VRBO again!

Perfect peaceful retreat

I came to the area with my dog for a 3-day dog training program in Halfmoon. I was looking for a more private spot than the recommended hotel, and I'm so glad I found it! The area is so peaceful and the studio is amazing, spotless and spacious! Paul and Michelle are great hosts, very responsive and so accommodating. They thought of everything to make you feel at home, from an array of coffee and teas to homemade chocolate chip cookies and dog treats! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with great amenities. Definitely one of my favorite place!

Beautiful Modern Studio in Ballston Spa

My husband and I were thrilled with our visit to the Modern Studio in Ballston Spa. The in-person facilities were even more lovely than the pictures, with many thoughtful, extra touches that made the setting special and comfortable. We were conveniently located, allowing us to enjoy the in-town festivities as well as the beautiful, peaceful countryside. Our companion was our very energetic 15-month old golden retriever who took great joy in running (and running and running) around the huge yard. Thank you!

This Ballston Spa studio was comfortable, clean, attractive, bucolic and extremely well located for travel to Saratoga Springs. Michelle and Paul are amazing hosts! They went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Best of all, they are the real deal when it comes to dog friendly hosts. They went the extra mile and even better to accommodate our Westie and make sure that all of us, pup included, had an amazing experience. It’s also worth noting that the studio can accommodate three people (one using the futon) and again, Michelle and Paul were willing to allow the extra guest for our convenience. But wait - don’t book the studio just yet - we want to return there soon and hope it’s available for our return visit!

A 10 out of 10

This studio was great for our 5-day stay of two adults and one small dog. Our hosts were terrific: responsive, accommodating, and provided some handy local recommendations. The studio was spotless and quiet, with comfortable furnishings and bed. The outdoor area is ample and well maintained, with easy parking on site. When traveling, comfort is all in the details - and our hosts certainly know how to make one feel welcome and at home: with the welcome cookies, s'more supplies for the fire pit, coffee options, toiletries and extra supplies, we had everything we needed for our stay - and then some! As others have mentioned, you do need a car to get around since the studio is located in a more rural setting; though it is conveniently located within a short drive away from Ballston Spa's quaint downtown with shops and restaurants, a 15-minute drive to the Saratoga Spa State Park, and less than 30 minutes away from Saratoga Springs. The studio was a great base to explore the area, and a quiet and comfortable place to recharge for the next day. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect studio!

This studio rental was perfect! It was tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable. It was thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need (spices, coffee, tea, half & half, snacks, laundry detergent, hairdryer, toothbrush and toothpaste, firewood, s’mores stuff. I could go on and on!) The property was super quiet and, despite being shared with the hosts, felt very private. The hosts were helpful and friendly but gave us our privacy. There’s so much to do in the Saratoga Springs area. Check out the polo school for matches or harness racing at the casino and watch the thoroughbreds practice at the racetrack.

Perfect in every way!

My friend and I stayed here for Memorial Day weekend. Paul and Michelle messaged me in advance, making our late night arrival seamless. There was a warm welcome note and delicious cookies waiting for us upon arrival . The studio is immaculate and inviting. Paul and Michelle have attended to every detail - I enjoyed my complimentary Starbucks every morning and my fur baby loved the ball and treats that were there to make her stay enjoyable too! We enjoyed breakfast and dinner at some quaint restaurants in town and Saratoga Springs/Saratoga Lake is only about 20 minute away. We had a wonderfully relaxing stay! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cozy, quiet little getaway!

Perfect size and area for our family of 3! We stayed to attend the winterfest in Lake george. Only about a 40 min drive to Lake george! Walked into studio to delicious homemade cookies (thanks Michelle), the studio had water and some snacks, a keurig, coffee pods, sweetener and even half and half in the fridge!! Had lots of essentials available in case you forgot something! Enjoyed watching the array of birds out back on the bird feeder. The area was pleasant and so quiet!! Far enough away to enjoy the quiet but not so far to grab a meal or run to the store. Paul and Michelle where very accommodating! We will definitely be back! Perfect little spot to enjoy a weekend away! Highly recommend!!

Great weekend retreat

The studio apartment was perfect for my wife, dog and I who were looking for a quiet place to spend a long weekend. Paul and Michelle left some snacks (including homemade cookies!) and water bottles for us and even had some things for our dog. The location is perfect - close enough to towns where you can grab a bite to eat and walk around, but also far enough away where you can unwind and feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. It’s also located near a state park if you want to go hiking/exploring. Some of the big pluses for us were the availability of a washer and dryer and how clean it was.

Great place to write

This little gem out in the middle of nowhere was the perfect spot to do some writing, which I call a "writer's retreat." I walked into the studio and found homemade cookies waiting for me (thank you, Michelle!!) and five water bottles. The studio was stocked with just about everything you could need. In addition, they invited me to pick raspberries from their bushes. But, I have to say, my favorite part of staying here was watching all the different types of birds at the feeder. Of all the places I have visited, I would have to say this spot is my favorite place. I will be staying here again!!! Again, thank you, Michelle and Paul, for making it feel like home.
