My girlfriend and I stayed here recently as we were in town to see a concert at SPAC. We wanted to…read morefind a place that was: -close to SPAC (check) -offered nearby restaurants (check) -affordable in an area where Summer rates can be high (check) Lewis House exceeded all of our expectations. The owner, Preston, and his wife made us feel right at home. Within 10 minutes of check in we were offered fresh fruit and homemade brownies. Our room (Green Room) was decent sized, had AC, an electric fireplace, and a super comfortable bed. Breakfast was served right at the scheduled time and was excellent. Day one was waffles, bacon, and fruit. Our second and last day led us to a nice quiche with sausage and homemade crumb cake...drool. Preston took the time to sit and converse with us while we are and made a real effort to get to know us. We loved hearing some of his stories about the house and about the area. I highly recommend the Lewis house as an alternative to pricier chain hotels in downtown Saratoga and as another option to camping or staying at a motel. You will not be disappointed.

In the morning we served the best breakfast: day 1: homemade Danish with blueberries, fresh fruit, bacon, muffins, and eggs! Day 2: Apple cinnamon waffles, apple slices, and sausage. Mr Lewis and his wife were so friendly and made us feel right at home. He cut me fresh pussy willows from the garden to take home. I couldn't have asked for better hospitality. The Lewis House is walking distance to the village of Ballston Spa and about 10 drive to downtown Saratoga Springs and the racetrack. We will def be back for racing season!

The inn is so quaint and like taking a step back in time - in the best way! The beds were very comfortable, we had a private en suite bathroom and flat screen television. No breakfast unfortunately due to COVID reasons. The restaurant on site, La Perla, was fantastic for dinner. You may wait a bit on Friday nights, but the food was totally worth the wait! True Italian cuisine. On the second night, we tried a wood fired pizza and it did not disappoint! After two long days of helping my sister move and paint her new house in Troy, Gregory House was a comfortable and lovely place to feed our bellies and lay our heads! Sending thanks and well wishes to Anna Maria and her husband and son (the chefs) and your excellent waitstaff, including Stephanie and Jordan!

We expanded our search and came across Maple Shade Bed and Breakfast, and what a lucky find. It was a little over an hour from Manchester, where we spent the day, but well worth the drive. This B & B is set on 85 acres of rolling farm land as far as the eye can see. We pulled in and was greeted by the owner Joanne. She was very welcoming and showed us our room, the Ivory Room on the first floor. We found out she had a last minute cancellation and we were very lucky to get the room. The room has a king bed, very cute and comfortable and plenty of room to unpack. She showed us around and explained that breakfast is between 8:30-9:30 each morning, come whenever you wish. After we settled in we took a walk to the Adirondack chairs overlooking the cornfield and enjoyed a sunset with a bottle of wine we had brought. We slept well and breakfast the next morning was delicious...freshly baked muffins, fresh fruit and made to order omelette and the following day was delicious French toast. Their hospitality is just delightful and we hope to return in the future!

We did not really see the grounds that night when we drove in. We had to 'self check-in' and found our room. We were pleasantly surprised at how great the room was. We had a wood burning stove, flat screen TV, huge bed with comfy bed linens, and a huge private bathroom. The next morning we woke up to the smells of breakfast. We made it out to the dining room and there was a delicious spread along with the owners serving us and making plenty if conversation. We really enjoyed it. After breakfast we took a walk around the property, WOW. It was amazing. The farm is so pretty and truly a great spot for leaf peeping. I can't wait to go back next year!!

There is absolutely no other place with better value. As seen in all other reviews, Barry could not be a better host. He gave us detailed recommendations on everything we asked for, and even called a bar, Helsinki, to check if there were any tables left as this place has minimal standing room (only he knew this as he is the expert on everything in town). Then, again we booked last-minute train tickets back home and gave him just 20 minutes notice. Barry insisted on making us breakfast-to-go and driving us to the train station there even though we had time to walk. In just 5 minutes, Barry made us the most savory yet simple sandwich (which was the topic of conversation for part of the train ride back.) His breakfast was the best meal we had during our entire weekend in Hudson - 100% fact. Eating breakfast outside on the porch was one of my favorite parts of the entire trip. Location is walking distance from the best shopping and food in Hudson, as well as Amtrak. If anyone else is looking, this is the only place I'd recommend.

The room was different in style than the front lobby. The room was extremely comfortable and cozy which was needed after a long night of travel and the first college tour. From the desk and headboards the style was a bit more modern with the bathroom door being a barn door style . The room was very quiet and the view was serene. In the morning the complimentary breakfast was a little above average with a couple unique items like fresh scones. This is a place that I would book again if I needed to stay in the area.
