Westchester House B&B


  • Inn Details

    Welcome to the Westchester House - Saratoga's hidden jewel. The inn is nestled in a residential neighborhood of tree lined streets. Here guests are greeted by name and pampered with personalized service. Immerse yourself in a gracious, Old World ambiance. Share in Saratoga's magic. Master carpenter Almeron King built this gracious 1885 Queen Anne Victorian Inn as his family home. King's skill and imagination abound. The handcrafted chestnut moldings, and elaborately carved fireplace mantles reflect a strong Eastlake influence. The whimsical roofline, complete with cupola and balcony, soars skyward. Each elegantly appointed bedroom combines antique furnishings with up to date comforts. You will find firm mattresses, king and queen-size beds, luxury linens, tiled baths, ceiling fans, air conditioning, and chocolates. Awaken to the aroma of our own special blend of freshly ground, imported coffees. Your breakfast of freshly squeezed juice, homebaked breads and fresh fruit is served on crystal and china in our spacious dining room looking out on a magnificent old maple tree. Breakfast is a special occasion accompanied by spirited conversation. The charm and excitement, museums and racetracks, specialty shops and restaurants of Saratoga are an easy walk from the Westchester House.

    Lovely place and the owners are wonderful hosts. Breakfast could be a bit more than the breads and cold meat and cheese. The setting is lovely, a beautiful garden and charming rooms; it is more quaint than luxurious. We would revisit.


    Beautiful home and gardens - great place to stay.

    These innkeepers are pros who haven't let their many years in the business affect their attention to detail. We loved our stay, loved our room, loved the grounds. This is a great place to stay. I would not hesitate to recommend the Westchester to friends and family.
