Pretty gardens and interesting place. Nice and tranquil but very mosquito heavy in the summer

Serenity. A beautiful place to visit!

Beautiful place. The grounds are wonderful. Take a look.

Nice quiet place to visit ...open to the public. This is an excellent place to go to take pics, or visit the rose gardens and think about victorian times

Won’t allow anyone on property, what a waste. I was told that artist are housed here and it’s an invasion of their privacy. It would have been so lovely to get a few pictures on the front porch step area, does anyone have any suggestions?

Beautiful flowers, walking paths, and fountain. Free to park and visit. I love that they are dog friendly! Great place to visit and bring your kids.

I went for the ghost tour and it was amazing. So much history, a beautiful house and an even more stunning patch of land. I can’t wait to go back in the spring and see the flowers and full foliage. There’s an air of peace and it’s amazing

Really lovely place for a stroll. Explore the woods too, not just the gardens

Beautiful serene park near Saratoga. Always visited when in area.

Yaddo is a relaxing place to walk around and enjoy the beautiful gardens during any of the seasons. It is quite, and sometimes you may even see wedding party taking pictures. We spent time practicing out photography and were able to not disturb anyone or vice versa.

The website for Yaddo gardens indicates it is open on their website! However I just took a very long ride there to experience the gardens and it is not open! The website should be updated so that others dont make the trip for nothing as I did!

It was very early in the spring. The locals said winter lasted until just last week. I would like to come back when the roses are in their splender.

*AS OF 10/6/2019 THE GOOGLE MAPS DIRECTIONS ARE INCORRECT* The GPS will direct you do turn back onto I-87 an announce that youve arrived at just about the end of the on ramp. To properly get here you should go just past the I-87 S on ramp (going into saratoga) and you will see an entrance and then another just a few hundred feet past that on the same side.Beautiful and serene. I love going to just admire it all. Lovely backstory, too.

Beautiful place. Perfect to take a walk and relax. Inspires mindfulness. Highly recommend.

A wonderful piece of history. Beautiful gardens. The mansion was recently restored and looks magnificent!

Loved the garden and statues. The orbs and faces found in the pictures I took are amazing!

Flowers arent ready yet and there is some construction going on so its not at its best, but it is still a nice place to go and see! Soon, things should be in full swing and they will have flowers, fish in the ponds, etc.

Beautiful place. The grounds were well kept and our ghost tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the location. The ghost tour wasnt the best, but it was worth the $10 for the tour and stories. I would love to visit during the summer when everything is in bloom, but it was still beautiful in October. Recommend giving it a try if only to meander around.

Beautiful place, great and caring people.

Beautiful park, took baby announcement photos there and it was just gorgeous! Its small but really enjoyable!

Lovely grounds to slowly walk through. Be sure to take pamphlet before you walk into the actual garden to learn the history and meaning behind some sculptures.

Absolutely Beautiful place in Upstate New York, my wife and I had our wedding there 15 years ago in Late September of 2005

It was 93 degrees out and we took a trip to Yaddo. It was perfect. The roses smelled heavenly, and there was a constant gentle breeze that made the heat wonderfully bearable. The rock garden was in the shade and are exquisite. All in all a wonderful afternoon.

Very beautiful gardens and some cool sculptures.The rock garden in the woods had no water in the water fixture which was quite long and could have been really cool so I was disappointed not to see that.

Beautiful Garden and park. Brought a photo session client here and it was perfect.

It is free to enter but it still could be a little better maintained. Worth the visit.

Absolutely beautiful. Perfect for weddings or even a picnic.

Beautiful gardens s ylpture and architecture. The history was excellently explained by our tour guide.

Would have liked to see it in Bloom

I highly recommend this artist’s colony

Nice place to visit in Saratoga. A hidden gem. Great for a stroll through a whimsical setting, especially if you like roses.

If you love an amazing rose garden ️

The house is private but the gardens are open & beautiful, especially when the roses are in bloom

Beautiful lovely place with lots of history. a must visit if you are in saratoga springs ny

Still beautiful even during the winter

Loved the gardens. Nice quiet place to reflect

One of the most special days of my life, highly recommend Yaddo!

Optional visit when in the Saratoga Springs area as flowers are not in bloom most of the year. Gardens are possible but not comparable to any major citys Botonical Gardens. Come with limited expectations and you will be satisfied.

The Gardens at Yaddo were recommended to me by a wonderful Airbnb host. Just before the interstate is a non-descript driveway that brings you to the Gardens. While beautiful, they were not worth the time it took to explore them. Mostly private land, the public area was three areas. The whole garden took about 30 minutes to walk through, but I made it another hour to see the status and read the history. Im sure in the spring time the Gardens are more impressive.

Well worth a visit. lots of history as an artist colony. beautiful gardens.

Great place! Love that it is free to the public to visit. The grounds are well maintained. We had our wedding here and it was a great setup, and was very inexpensive. Would definitely recomend this place to anyone and everyone.

Great place see beautiful gardens a must if visiting Saratoga

It was nice and I like how the garden was created

I love Yaddoo Gardens it is one of my favorite place

Nice quiet place to walk around the gardens with the family. Theyre should be fishing access to both little ponds. I remember several years ago i was able to fish. Now, no fishing, signs all over place. Sad

So quiet and serine. Peaceful. Grounds are beautifully kept. Amazing gardens. One of my favorite places to visit.

Love this marvelous, beautiful, peaceful, estate. The flowers, fountains, statues are amazing.

Went the wrong time of the year. Roses have gone past their blooming times.

Beautiful walk, bathroom available, picnic tables, playground

The buildings are off limits to the public, its a retreat for musicians, actors, composers and writers. The grounds are open to the public, Rose Gardens, statues and fountains.

The most beautiful rose garden Ive ever laid my eyes on! The caretakers do an amazing job without a doubt!

Beautiful. Tranquil and relaxing atmosphere.

Beautiful! Easy to find and manuever

Always beautiful Durring rose season

Beautiful rose gardens.

Great place to see.

Blooming Roses in peaceful, haunting surroundings

Its a beautiful garden. A quick visit is totally worthwhile and refreshing.

Lovely place to relax, take pictures (especially when roses are in bloom). Great place to take a walk in Saratoga Springs

Beautiful but closed EARLY

The gardens are open to the public and are beautiful.

Very peaceful place and great plantings to view.

It was pretty, it was free. Roses were still going strong in October. But the rock garden and its fountains are not running and seem like its been a while since they were. Worst for me was that the Northway is very near and the sound was intrusive.

This is an amazing place to visit. The gardens are exquisite. A photographers dream!

Very beautiful, and peaceful park.Great for reflecting, and just relaxing.Watch out for local pervs though.

The grounds are always wonderful. The roses are just starting to come into bloom season

Very relaxing atmosphere.

A beautiful garden thats great for photoshoots.

Nice place for a wedding ceremony

When the roses are in bloom the most beautiful free experience in Saratoga.

Although Im not fond of being yelled at by a pickup truck yielding 100lb. employee, think of Dukes of Hazzard, their garden is gorgeous.

Beautiful Gardens! Well run non profit!

Amazing, beautiful and tranquil. Good place to relax and have a picnic. Good place for a first date or to propose afterwards.

Its free just difficult with people who are disable.

Went for a wedding. Was beautiful.

Very pretty flower garden, upkeep is amazing. Very nice distraction from Saratoga

Spectacular gardens

Small. Did my engagement photos here they came out great it is beautiful.

Beautiful

While the grounds are beautiful, do NOT go there in April. All of the statues are boarded up, and the paths are not well kept. Major disappointment - also a lot smaller than anticipated.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit especially when the Roses are in full bloom.

Nice grounds, but a bit small.

So beautiful

Beautiful

Special place. Rose garden open to public the rest of the property is private

Beautiful grounds with 2 gardens that are open to the public for free.

Gorgeous flowers and property

Peaceful, lovely when flowers are in bloom.

DO NOT BOOK A WEDDING AT YADDO. If you have an upcoming wedding, even with a legally binding contract, you are not safe!!! They double booked my wedding with ANOTHER wedding for Saturday, and they took my spot that i reserved last year!! My entire family including us, my elderly grandparents and 7 week old son, family that traveled from England and Texas, got RAINED on, as the other wedding ALSO contracted for the same time was in MY spot. We had to hide in the woods and have our wedding in the rain while we watched the other wedding in OUR spot!!! I didnt get to walk down the aisle or listen to our song!! After the ceremonies as we were leaving, we got to walk by them all nice and dry taking wedding photos while we were soaked and there was no point in us taking pictures anymore, we all looked awful! The other groom was pissed for us as well, as his wedding was contracted 3-5, he was told we were 1-3, and i just called to speak to anne-marie pratt, who tells me he was booked 1-3. She is blaming the other bride and groom suggesting they lied to us and ruined our wedding. She accepts no responsibility and thinks apologies can fix the nearly $12,000 disaster she left us with by double booking. I finally had to call her while shaking and trying to stay calm as she never responded to my emails! She never even offered back the $250 I paid to reserve my spot. Im having my attorney help us sort this out. Apparently offering compensation after such a horrible mistake isnt something Yaddo believes in. Its a beautiful place for sure, which is why we chose it when we had so many other options. Thanks a lot Anne-Marie Pratt. Glad the other bride got to have the wedding of my dreams that I booked and paid for ages before her. Nice that she has offered no solution either.

Beautiful rose gardens

Paranormal activity orbs aka spiritsLove it

Love this place and the flower gardens and the beauty

No flowers out during our visit a week ago .... not a one. The fountains were inoperative as well. Perhaps a visit in early June would have made more sense.

Very pretty place

Great place to relax and reflect.

Great place very scenic

Nice place but its small, rundown a little, and cant access the mansion.

Divine.Surreal.

Every year since my children were young we have come to Yaddo in joyed the vew and the history. Now I bring my granddaughter

Beautiful garden
