A beautiful house on a beautiful lake! We had a wonderful time staying here! I was very impressed with the cleanliness, especially compared to other vacation rentals we have stayed in. Also having the yard while being right on the lake was amazing for our dogs. The giant picture window allowing us to look at the lake from almost any part of the house was just phenomenal. Our host, Brandi, was kind and helpful! Such a peaceful place to relax, our only regret is that we didn't stay longer, but we would definitely come back!

We came in for the SU graduation and had a fabulous multigenerational family vacation. The house was perfect for our family game nights, BBQ, and fireside chats on the lake. We will come back when the weather is warmer and get to fully use the lake! Thank you!

Quiet Weekend on Lake Skaneateles

This was an excellent stay! House was spacious and clean with an unbeatable view of the lake, as well as access to the water. Nice location too, pretty remote and thus nice and quiet. The hosts also provided a lot of documentation on the surrounding area which was very helpful! Would definitely stay again!

Fall Weekend- Canadian Thanksgiving in the Finger Lakes

Lovely stay in a big house able to hold extended family. Great views of the lake from the big windows. Lots of hiking in the area. We used the fire pit every night.

Even in late spring with clouds, fog, and rain, this property stands out for its gorgeous views and tranquil setting. Lots of stairs to keep active, and plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the location.

Relaxing lakeside getaway

What a beautiful spot for people to gather! We had a quiet , relaxing stay. Visited Skaneateles. Spent time enjoying the peacefulness of the lake. And we used the outdoor fire pit to make s'mores! If you like quiet and relaxing, then this is the place for you.

A Great Place to Relax

It is a beautiful house located right on the lake, and with it comes an incredible view out the large windows. It was well-appointed and so peaceful. Our communications with the owner were outstanding, as she responded quickly and was always very helpful. It is located in a region that is certainly worth exploring for both its scenic beauty and its historical importance.

Fabulous property!

This property is really great. Just as described but better! Probably one of the best we have stayed in and we visit the area frequently. Extremely clean, well stocked (and we like to cook!), and in a beautiful location. Close to Syracuse for anyone who has a kid in college and close to the beautiful village of Skaneateles. The host was very accommodating and always in communication. Highly recommend!

Peaceful and Stunning!

We enjoyed an exceptional stay! Amy was a wonderful host. It was as if every need we had was anticipated. Her home was so well stocked with anything we could think of needing on vacation. We enjoyed kayaking, playing ping pong, eating all of our meals on the screened in porch overlooking the lake and hanging out in the living room. Thank you for creating such a peaceful and rejuvenating environment.

Beautiful lake front house

Our 6 night stay was absolutely fantastic. The house was so beautiful, right on lake Skaneateles. The kids used the kayaks and played by the water. It was a bit cold, so no swimming on this trip. The house was so clean and well stocked with all essentials in the kitchen and bathrooms. Check in was easy and the communication with the home owner was warm and inviting . We hope to come back soon.

Nice house in a relaxing area

Amy was very nice when talking about the booking. We stayed in the very early spring so the water was too cold to swim (and we knew that ahead of time - we didn't go for that, but i would consider coming back to this house in the summer when my youngest can swim). House was perfect for us but it is 20 minutes away from gas, convenience stores, and pretty much anything else you can think of so plan accordingly. We loved it and definitely would come back.

Beautiful and cozy!

The pictures on the listing don’t do this place justice on how fantastic it is! We visited during the fall when all the leaves changed and it was beautiful. The home is so cozy. Our favorite part was just hanging out in the living room together around the fireplace in the mornings and at the end of the day. The property owner was so friendly and easy to communicate with. We had some questions about the driveway and we got immediate answers. 10/10 recommend!

Relaxing and scenic lake views

First visit to finger lakes area and the house fit our needs perfectly. We especially appreciated the screened porch and use of paddle board and kayak. The lake was uncrowded in early June making for a peaceful stay. Carpenter Falls very close with lovely hike to falls. Hosts responded quickly to a few questions. The house is not near town but for us that was not an issue as only about 30 min drive. We found it easy to venture out to area state parks and even ventured to Cooperstown to Baseball Hall of Fame about a 2 hour drive on rural roads.

Family Trip

We chose this home for a recent trip to visit my daughter who was graduating from Syracuse University. We needed a bedroom bathroom on the main living floor and that also allowed dogs. This house far exceeded our needs. It was stocked with spices, paper products, cleaning products, and great quality pots/pans, plates, glassware, etc. The kitchen was one of the nicest that have ever rented. We had some family come in for a night and we had plenty of space, and enough seating for all. I would highly recommend this home. Our only regret was that we weren’t able to take advantage of the lake this trip.

Peaceful retreat

Lovely home, all amenities you can think off. Kitchen and bathroom well stocked. Great communication with host Amy about checking in. Enjoyed the kayaks, nice quality life jackets and water shoes. Plenty of hiking nearby with our dog. We ventured into Homer a 25 min ride and loved this quaint little village. Bev and Co best ladies boutique. Went on an unexpected shopping spree. The Exchange, a new fine dining restaurant had delicious food was another unexpected surprise for this small town. Amy’s place in a great location. Close enough to bustling little towns but in a peaceful lakeside setting.

Amazing Lake House

2 families spent our Thanksgiving weekend sharing good food, good times and making great memories. There was plenty of room for everyone to be together and still have space . The beds were incredibly comfortable. The views were gorgeous. The kitchen was well stocked. The great room was perfect. Peaceful and quiet yet close enough to go to the Dickens Festival. Pure bliss! The hosts were great communicators before and during our stay. Very responsive! Very accommodating! Very nice people. The house was decorated with endless cool items that always deserved a second look. Very clean.

Lake house Family Graduation

We had such a special time at the lake with all our loved ones. We were able to spend quality time with everyone under one roof. The house had everything we needed to cook, gather and rest without any worries. It was peaceful and beautiful. It was still too cold and the weather did not allow us to enjoy the water features. We all would like to come back again during the summer months and enjoy the water. The only problem we had was parking our RV at the house. The roads are very narrow and you really need a 4 wheel drive for maneuvering with a big trailer or motorhome would be really impossible to park. All in all it was spectacular the way the house was actually situated right on the lake.
