Coming to Saratoga area this summer, need some advice

[luvalab]

My wife gets a few extra weeks off this summer and we have decided to come to NY. We are looking to rent a place to stay for a week, most likely in the mountains somewhere. What things do I need to know? List best places to stay, eat, visit, etc. Of course I am going to make it to Saratoga for at least one day of racing, so any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
