Great location and interesting house!
3.0
The property was great for our group, but may not be right for everybody. Much of the house and property seems to not be cared for beyond the bare minimum, faulty plumbing and leaks, overgrown grass on what would otherwise be a beautiful lawn, the hottub never got really hot, difficult to operate light switches throughout the house. That said, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
5.0
This house was great for the multiple families we had staying here. Plenty of space. The pool and hot tub were great. The kids enjoyed it a lot. There was so much for the kids to do between ping pong, the pool, the tennis courts and the theater room. The only downside was we had trouble with the stove. Tried to make dinner one night and couldn’t get the stove hot enough to boil the water. All and all great place!
4.0
The house was great at accommodating all of us. All amenities were there and kept pretty clean. The owner did reach out to mention that there would be work done on the exterior of the home and to pardon the look. If I had known that the pool was going to be dirty(not algae) I think just dust from the work going on we may have reconsidered staying here as the pool was a big deciding factor. We had fun but it felt like more than the exterior needed an update. The kitchen was smaller than expected but usable. The bedrooms were large and there were a lot of seating areas. However, the price was lower for a house this large so I think we got what we paid for but I probably wouldn't stay here again unless many more things were updated.

Had an amazing stay had more than enough room for everyone. Easy location to explore the area.

We accepted this home after viewing online and reading the reviews. Immediately upon our arrive is when we discovered we were "sold a bill of goods". The grass was overgrown, lights leading to the residence were broken with some toppled, the fountain in front was in total disrepair. Weeds were growing in the bocci court and the so called tennis court had not been kept up. Upon entering we discovered the advertised sauna did not work. Upon contacting the property manager, Chad, a service provider came over to advise it could not be repaired. So scratch the sauna with a sign on the adjacent hot tub in the room with a sign that it was not operable. Trying to make the best of it, the grandchildren went to the pool only to have one granddaughter cut her toe on a pipe which was protruding about 6 inches above the pool deck. we took pictures of the pipe...We should add the skimmer was not working due to, according to the cleaning service that was still on site when we arrive, that the water level was high but not to worry as the water level will be okay as there is a "small" crack in the pool that will allow the water to drain and we should monitor it to add water from a hose, if necessary..In the evening after giving the grandchildren a bath the stopper would not release allowing the water to drain. This resulted in our bailing the water out of the tub. More to write but ran out of characters...DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY...OVERPRICED AND DISAPPOINTING

My family and I loved staying here for five days! Having a master on the main level was key for my grandparents. We hung by the pool everyday and it was clean with ample outdoor furniture. The house was so spacious and never felt on top of each other. Bedrooms were comfortable and clean. The most bathrooms I’ve seen in a house! Communication with owner was seamless. We’re already thinking about rebooking for next year!

Chad was very nice and accommodating from helping us with recommendations for a private chef and transportation. The house is big enough for large groups, we had 15 people stay and it did not feel crowded at all. we enjoyed the outside very much - using the pool, hot tub and fire pit.

We reserved this space for our rather large family (5 kids) and also had family visitors. The property was amazingly spacious, had great amenities. It was thoroughly relaxing and in a central location for all invited. Would go back again. Considering making this a regular trip.

House is enormous with plenty of room for our group, all the amemities we wanted, and driving distance to a bunch of fun things; Howe Caverns, Baseball Hall of Fame, six flag, saratoga, the list goes on. Owner is super friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay there again!

Chad was a great host. His responsiveness and great recommendations of things to do in the area were exceptional. I would highly recommend staying at the mansion. Thanks, Chad!

Super amazing vacation palace
Loved, loved, loved our stay here. We were a large group and the 7 bedrooms had sleeping space for 20+ people. The mansion has many bathrooms and our stay was super comfortable. Ample towels, both near the pool and inside each bathroom were provided. We loved playing on the tennis court (not in the best shape but we played both in the day and at night under the lights and it was quite enjoyable). Pool and hot tub were amazing with tons of outdoor furniture around to lay down and drink wine/relax. We had campfire almost every night and there were ample chairs and a nice pit. There were so many fun activities to do here to keep everyone engaged. Kids had a lot of fun watching movie in the basement theater. Ping pong table is nice. The Foos ball and Pool table are not in the best condition but this property had so much going for it, that it didn't matter. The property is spread over 8 flat acres and kids had fun running around and playing various outdoor sports. The only drawback with this Vrbo is that Amsterdam, the city, in itself doesn't have much to offer. If you are looking for a comfortable space for a large group and are mainly interested in enjoying the facilities that this mansion has to offer, then nothing can beat this place. We will absolutely return to this place.

Great house for a big group
"The Mansion" is a unique home that fit our group's needs perfectly. The amenities were key, including the hot tub, tennis court, movie room, ping pong/pool table and the huge yard (the pool was out of season for our visit). The house is a little outdated, and some things could use some sprucing up (back door difficult to open/close, tennis court has seen better days) but still a great trip with no issues.

Team Retreat
Satisfied in every way. Our team enjoyed the benefit of nutritious home cooked meals together. Property manager was so kind and quick to respond. A hand written welcome note greeted us upon arrival. Easy to follow instructions. Such a fun place to explore. Thank you! We hope to come back someday, perhaps next year for another Head of the Fish Regatta!

Spacious and Charming!
The property was exactly as it appeared in the listing. The property manager was attentive and responsive before, during, and after our stay. The house itself is so unique! There are hidden gems around every corner! Perfect for a large family gathering or a weekend with friends. Highly recommend!

Great getaway!
We stayed here for 3 days- lovely house filled w/multiple amenities making it hard to leave the house and explore the area as there was much to do at the house (pool, tennis, theater, etc). Hosts were very flexible and nice! checked in to see if we needed anything and were willing to change our dates due to unexpected changes in our schedule. House was clean and fully equipped with linens, towels, etc. Will definitely plan on coming back again.

True Mansion
Great time was had by everyone and house was spacious and allowed for a week of pure fun. Kids had so much fun we never even had to think of doing activities away from the house. Property manager was super responsive and theatre was a big hit as was the popcorn machine.

GREAT family vacation house
The house has everything for a multi-generation family vacation. Adults enjoyed the tennis court, kids enjoyed the driveway (for scooters) and lawn (for baseball), and everyone enjoyed the just-updated home theater (Apple TV, 4K projector and screen,, new receiver and speakers were all installed while we there), ping-pong and pool table.
When the weather was nice, the swimming pool was perfect for the kids (it is too small if lap swimming is important to you), but it was great to have the indoor amenities when it rained a couple of days.
We loved the firepit for s'mores and ate lunch at the tables surrounding the pool when the weather was nice.
The house itself is not new, but things like wobbly cabinet doors, a loose tile here and there, etc. weren't a problem in any functional sense. The house has new owners and they seem committed to upgrading the things (home theater as noted above, new speakers around the pool, electrician coming to fix outside lights that need repair) that haven't been maintained for a while, but even so, there was nothing that posed any problems for us.
Chad, the property manager, was fantastic. Immediately responsive to texts and calls, and the house was ship-shape when we arrived. On the couple of occasions when we needed something (propane tank refill for the grill, replacement of gasket that started leaking on dishwasher), he took care of it in less than a day.
We were 11 in total and all fit easily into the dining room (10 at table, 1 in high chair), and the kitchen/breakfast nook worked really well for all the prep and breakfasts.
House came with zillions of towels, dishes, etc and we didn't need to buy anything.
There is a park within walking distance that is great for little kids that we visited a few times, but other than that we just enjoyed the house and property for the 9 days we were there - no one got bored because there was so much to do.
We would definitely rent this house again.

Perfect Stay!
My friends and I had been looking forward to our stay at the Mansion since we booked in February - we were so happy that everything completely lived up to our expectations! This property is the perfect escape from NYC in the summer. The property manager was extremely helpful and overall we had the best time. The place looks exactly like the pictures - we got great use out of the pool, movie theater, and new BBQ. We had a great weekend and I highly recommend booking a stay at the mansion!

Used to be a mansion...
I would first like to say that we did have fun and enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood is nice, shopping/grocery is nearby, and bigger cities/attractions are close enough for day trips. The house is obviously spacious, and it was fun figuring out where everyone was. The teenagers especially had fun turning out the lights and playing hide and seek. We did use the pool (more on that later...) and the tennis courts.
We did have issues with the pool and the condition of the grounds and caretaking in general. I spoke to Chad, the property manager, the day before our arrival; he told me what to expect, that the pool was being serviced as we were speaking, and it was agreed that he would leave the keys inside, which was completely fine with me. He had written a few notes on a piece of paper (garbage pick-up, no silly string, etc). The pictures of the inside of the house are pretty accurate; it's very spacious, not over-furnished, and the bedrooms are situated at either end of the house. The sad thing is that the house seems a bit neglected, more so outside. Dirty dishes were left in the dishwasher, and there was a garbage can in one of the lower kitchen cabinets with garbage in it. Once you figure out how to use the lighting system in the house, I would guess that at least 30% of the bulbs are blown. The landscaping is overgrown with weeds, weeds are growing up onto the pool deck, and you will find an old rug up against the porch behind the bushes and a dead tree lying in the side yard. Do not pull into the driveway expecting a working fountain. The fountain has a tarp thrown into it. There is lighting around the driveway and the pool deck, but again, less than half of them work, and some of the globes are broken/hanging down. We replaced the basketball net because it was ripped up and hanging by one loop, and my brother used zip ties to reattach the tennis net to the wire so we could play tennis. The lawn is huge, and we would have set up croquet/lawn games, but the grass was too high.
Ok, the pool... arrived Saturday, green by Monday, no pool maintenance came until Friday, the day before departure. I initiated all contact with Chad except one text, always being told it would be taken care of the next day, then the next, etc. I finally contacted Rosa on Thursday. She was wonderful, refunded a portion because of the pool, but if you are expecting a “mansion”, you will be disappointed.

Family Wedding Retreat
This was the perfect property for our needs. Our multigenerational family was comfortable and there was plenty of space for the family with the newest little grandchild to have their own comfortable area yet be right near us. The pool is great for younger children. The kitchen and common areas are open, but also distinct enough for multiple simultaneous activities yet within earshot of a resting parent. Bedrooms are private and bathrooms spacious. A light and pleasant house, even if dated.

Great house and property but a little dated
The house was perfect for a group of friends hanging out for the weekend. The house must have been absolutely incredible when it was built, but required some necessary maintenance. There were just a number of small things like a rotted ramp to the pool and a loose slate step coming out of the entrance that were hard to overlook. Other than the minor deterioration, the house was great. It was very large with lots of space for everyone to spread out and was very clear with all amenities. The outside of the property is huge with lots of area for activities. The tennis court was a little rough, but we were still able to make use of it. Overall we were very pleased with our experience and the owner and housekeeper were very accommodating.

Feels like a private resort
My family and I had a great time at this house. It was a great covid-free getaway. This mansion is in a regular neighborhood on a huge grass lot of land. Supermarkets and target is nearby. There is so much to do however everything is dated and lacks day-to-day maintenance. The pool is heated and has 1 large float. The propane grill was usable but not in good condition. I strongly suggest bringing grill mats (sold on amazon). The tennis court has nice lights and balls and rackets are there to use. There is a basketball hoop in the driveway and basketballs for use but bring pump and pin. We brought so much more than we needed because the house is stocked with paper towels, tissues, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, hand soap, garbage bags, laundry detergents, dish soap, sporting goods and more. There is a Keurig coffee machine, electric stove top and in-wall oven and microwave. There is an extra refrigerator downstairs which def came in handy. The movie theatre was great but only runs DVD’s (no HDMI). There is also a pool table, ping pong table and fooseball table downstairs. One big downfall is the size and quantity of beds. There are 5 bedrooms upstairs all with full size beds. That is small for two adults. The main floor has 2 master bedrooms each with a bathroom. One room has a king and one room has a queen. Although the house is huge, I would say it sleeps 9-10 people comfortably. A few bunk beds would add great value to this stay. The property managers, Joe and Else were extremely nice and great to work with. Overall I recommend this property but keep in mind the aforementioned notes.

Amazing getaway! You will not regret booking this house!
You will not regret renting this property. My family and I had such a great time here. The pictures posted on this listing do not give this place enough justice. The pool is much bigger in person than shown on the picture. The property managers were the sweetest people and were so attentive to any questions we had. They were kind enough to allow us to check-in a little early and a little late. the only recommendation I can give to improve this place, is that the beds are not the most comfortable. Maybe providing a mattress pad for additional comfort or switching the beds out would be great.. Overall an amazing experience at this property and will be coming back again!

Amazing getaway with fantastic amenities
We rented this house for a long weekend in August, looking to escape New York City during a hot and humid Summer, not to mention in the middle of a pandemic.
The house was exactly what we needed - and more! Great amenities (pool, fire pit, tennis court, etc.). Rosa was fantastic to communicate with/book through and the property managers, Else and Joe, were wonderful and incredibly accommodating. I will absolutely rent again ;)

Just short of Paradise
This mansion is a must for families of all ages. HUGH and clean.
If you want "alone time" it's there, if you want to party, it's there. Need a tracking devise for young ones who might get lost in the mansion (lol). So much to do on site over seemingly endless park like grounds that is all level and useable. Care takers Joe and Else are always available to tend to any needs you may have. Book, go and enjoy

Great getaway from it all
We really enjoyed staying here. It was the perfect space for us, had lots to do on property so we didn't feel a need to leave much (just to get food and for a few walks and bike rides.) It was exactly what we needed.

Great stay with friends!
8 adults + a toddler and 18 month old, everyone had a blast! The house is huge, plenty of space for all 4 couples and then some. The pool area was a perfect place to spend the hot summer day, with tennis and grilling every night. We absolutely loved our stay and would go back in a heart beat, one small critiques would be a few of the beds aren’t the most comfy and could use a new mattress or mattress cover. Otherwise we can’t wait to return next summer!

Such a great time
This was the perfect house for what we wanted. A place big enough for our entire family (10 adults, 7 kids) with plenty to do and plenty of space so we didn’t even need to leave the property. We spent one day at the Saratoga race track, which was about 40 mins away. Highly recommend staying here.

We had my father’s 75th birthday weekend at the mansion. It was wonderful. We had 16 people in our party and had plenty of extra space. The kids enjoyed the tennis courts, large yard, game room and theater downstairs. The adults enjoyed the soaker tubs and fire pit. The whole trip was wonderful. Else and Joe, the hosts were spectacular. We’ll be back.

This large home provided the perfect space for our large family to celebrate a long weekend of wedding festivities. It's close proximity to the Albany area made the commute to the wedding venue (The Appel Inn) effortless, with nearby shopping (within two miles) available for any needed last minute items.
We were able to host the rehearsal dinner at this expansive home. Dinosaur Barbeque catered the event. With the unusual high temperatures in September, our guests (54 guests in attendance) were able to enjoy the basketball court, firepit, tennis courts, and pool. If the temperatures were cooler, this large home would have provided ample room for the rehearsal dinner with it's large square footage and game room.
The caretakers for this property were extremely kind and accommodating. They allowed an early check in time, and worked with us to schedule a check out time that worked with our departing flight time. Knowing that it was a wedding weekend, Elsa made sure that there was a steamer available for our gowns/suits!
It was a magical weekend. The house served us well as we celebrated our daughter's wedding weekend. Thank you! ❤️
