Trackside equestrian lodgings
A former motor lodge reimagined with stable-inspired board and batten, crackling courtyard fire pits, and quiet trackside mornings.
“Once inside, however, visitors realize the boutique property is much more luxurious than a roadside motel.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
gone is the roadside-motel vibe, replaced by a bit of genteel equestrian atmosphere — and chock full of personality.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set across from the Saratoga Race Course backstretch, complimentary Linus cruiser bicycles offer easy rides into downtown and the state park.
The rooms
Custom pine beds topped with Sharktooth blankets meet high-gloss black bathrooms fitted with chamfered mirrors and C.O. Bigelow amenities.
Farrier Bar
Drinks center on low-intervention wines and craft beer, poured across a honed Carrera marble counter beneath gilded mirrors.
At the table
Guests gather in director chairs around the gravel courtyard fire pit to roast marshmallows as evening falls.
How it began
Brooklyn design studio Post Company transformed a 1950s single-story motel into an equestrian-inspired retreat directly facing the historic racecourse stables.
