We love Saratoga Springs! From our farm in
Greenwich, it is just a short drive, barely 25 minutes to Broadway,
Saratoga's main street. Turn left onto Broadway and you will find great
restaurants and fine apparel, book and jewelry shops. Turn right and in
less than 5 minutes you are at Skidmore College, home of the Tang Art
Museum. You will pass many beautiful sights along the way, fine old high
Victorian hotels and grand, elegant homes from 100 years ago.
We love Saratoga Springs because it has so
much to see and enjoy, a quaint city that has been well loved and cared
for, keeping all the beauty of the past. Saratoga is an architecture
junkie's dream. It is one of the most walkable cities in our country. We
find hours of pleasure viewing the lavish architecture, the museums and
the gardens of Saratoga State Park and Yaddo, the artists and writers
colony.
Our guests look forward each year to our
racing season for the finest thoroughbred horses-36 days of racing from
late July through Labor Day, at one of the most beautiful and friendly
race tracks anywhere. Of course, there are the famous mineral baths that
have attracted guests for over 100 years.
We cannot overlook Saratoga Performing Arts
Center, which offers a full season each year of symphony and classical
ballet (the summer home of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the New York
City Ballet). How easy it is to visit SPAC from your bed & breakfast stay
in Greenwich.
Every school child knows that America won
it's independence in Oct 1777 on the battlefields at Saratoga. Many of our
guests have made their pilgrimage, with their children, to walk the fields
where the actual struggle took place. Guides, in authentic uniforms, bring
these events to life in a completely unforgettable and realistic way.
When you visit Country Life B&B, we will
assist you in locating all of the places to see and things to do in and
around Saratoga. We will help you build memories for a lifetime. Saratoga
has been our adventure, let it be yours.
