Spyder,
If you're on a budget, Call the Cambridge Motel in Cambridge, NY... 22 miles east of Toga, 30 min. drive, halfway between the Spa and Manchester, VT... Cambridge, the Cambridge Hotel specifically, is the home of Pie ala Mode.. First served there in like 1904. (You can't make this stuff up...)
I live west of Cambridge in Greenwich, 13 miles from Toga.. Cambridge Motel shouldn't be more than $50 night. It was $30 8-9 years ago when I started staying there. (It's how I ended up in Washington County in fact..) Roomy, clean, great little town and having Manchester, VT equally close is another positive as it's a really fun destination... Outlets, Mt. Equinox, Orvis HQ if you're a fisherman, lots more... A great restaurant there: Anthony's Table.
A Washington County stay adds a lot to a Toga visit... The Saratoga National Monument/Battlefield, Phillip Schuyler House in Schuylerville.. (Not actually Wash. Cty.), Grandma Moses Home/Grave in Eagle Bridge (all her paintings are Washington County scenes); Whitehall: the Birthplace of the U.S. Navy, created by Benedict Arnold to defend Lake Champlain; Susan B. Anthony and Chester Arthur Birthplaces (Greenwich actually for both)... Lots more...
And you still have everything in toga too... And Bennington, VT... and Lake George... This area is a god damn 150 square mile theme park...
