There was a time when a visit to the country offered a certain charm, an easing into the day, a peace of spirit. A tall glass of sparkling mineral water on a warm and sunny afternoon. Gentlemen dressed in white and ladies in straw bonnets idling the day away in rockers on the front porch ... all of these were tradition in the life of a Saratogian. Authentic hospitality like this is difficult to find these days. But in a grand and noble historic mansion, a gracious way of living is waiting to embrace you. Nestled amongst mature Roman apple trees and lush hedges, scented geraniums and climbing wisteria and perched on the corner in a quiet residential neighborhood, 181 Phila beckons to you from behind a stately black wrought iron fence. Upon entering the elegantly manicured surroundings, romance and intrigue will transport you to another era in time. Hidden beyond the towering pine trees and a short stroll past the enchanting garden fountains you will find the tranquility of a country courtyard surrounding our private, in-ground heated pool. Sip on a frosty glass of iced tea Saratoga style while relaxing on the old- fashioned porch swing, or carelessly sway on our hammock in the shade. Collect your thoughts as you breath in the charm of our Victorian gardens or surrender to the clippity-clop of the horse drawn carriage as it lulls you into a peaceful afternoon slumber under the care of a giant Maple tree. Gather with your friends around the Chiminea to enjoy an apertif and a bite to eat. Cool off in the pool, heated to just the right temperature, to revive you after a spirited game of basketball on our private, full sized court.
