Girls Trip

We had an amazing stay! The house was clean and there was plenty of room and beds for our group. The covered porch was a great spot to spend time with a beautiful view or the lake, and there was plenty of room inside for gathering too. The house has everything you need for cooking as well.

Beautiful Family Reunion spot

This was our second stay. It is ideal for us. Spacious common living space, 4 nice bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Two outdoor spaces ( deck and lower patio). There is dock access to pristine Skaneateles Lake. Short drive to town and other enjoyable locations. Well appointed kitchen and grill. We hope to return again as our family schedule allows in the years ahead.

Lovely stay at the lake!

The cottage was lovely - clean and well equipped. My sisters & I are regular travelers and this property exceeded all of our expectations. Best part is that the owners use the house too, so it has the personal touches that made it more comfortable than most vacation rentals. We loved sitting on the porch overlooking the lake, listening to the Loons calling.

Lakeside family getaway

The perfect spot to connect with family. We played baseball in the front yard, walked down the steps to the lake to watch amazing sunsets, barbecued on the back deck and congregated around the fireplace in the evenings while we played games. We all enjoyed the home immensely!

Perfect weekend trip

We had an amazing time staying on the lake! The house was plenty big and comfortable for our group of friends. We were attending a wedding in Weedsport and enjoyed being on the lake. It was so nice to sit on the back porch and take in the view. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Wonderful in Skaneateles

Absolutely beautiful property complete with everything you could possibly need. We were a group of six friends and we stayed for three nights. This is the second year in a row we stayed here because we enjoyed it so much. Very nice location, very close to the village, overlooking the lake. The owner is a pleasure to deal with. Extremely clean home. Everything was perfect.

Perfect rental while I town for a wedding

The house is beautiful and the host and property manager are very nice with quick response to any inquiries. We rented this house specifically because of its close proximity to Lourdes Camp for our sons weekend wedding - 5 minutes down the road. The house did not disappoint, stunning.

Great spot for family get together

The house is well designed and has good sound installation. The kitchen is great for cooking and well stocked. And it’s got great outdoor spaces up by the house. The one challenge is the steps are very steep and there isn’t a hang out area by the water. I would check with the owners if you want the dock up because it wasn’t ready when we were there.

Impeccable Home

We felt very lucky to have the opportunity to rent such a beautiful home. The home itself is impeccable as well as all of the high end appliances and furniture. Beautiful views, nice lake access, friendly neighbors met during fun walks along the private road, and a perfect porch. The host, Betsy, and her family welcomed us warmly and made it possible for our family to have a very lovely time in their special cottage.

Great house, great location

The house is extremely well-equipped as the owners use the house at times as well- plenty of towels, kitchen accessories, etc. The house is just steps from the lake down a set of stairs as shown in the photo. Skaneateles Lake is a beautiful lake with minimal boat traffic- so nice to just hang out on its shores. There's a lovely covered deck to eat on overlooking the lake. The town is relatively close with shops, restaurants. You can take a boat ride with Midlakes Navigation and learn about some of the history and houses on the lake. Would absolutely stay at this house again!!

Lakeside Prize

This is a well appointed property with a great location. There are some nice options according to water and on land interests. The floor plan and covered outdoor spaces enables easy visiting, and the kitchen island, appliances, and big grill on the upper porch create ease of food preparation and serving. The owners and managers are quickly responsive to questions and small issues we had with a screen door and assuring we had completed check out effectively. We have stayed at 4 other VRBO's in the region and this was our favorite for sure. Thank you for having this property available to families like ours!

Awesome Anniversary Vacation

It's hard to put it into words how special this home is. From the moment we drove up and had the feeling of being high up overlooking beautiful Skaneateles Lake it was wonderful. The location is fantastic. We were able to see all the beauty of the lake as it changes from steel grey on a rainy afternoon, to blue/green to deep blue. The fall foliage was gorgeous around the property. We appreciate the special touches of the bottle of chardonnay from Anyela's and Betsy's handwritten note welcoming us for our anniversary. The house is absolutely beautifully decorated and also so comfortable. Windows, windows, windows -- every one had a perfect view. We cooked alot and the kitchen was wonderful with the perk of being able to watch the Lake while prepping a meal. We did not want to leave. This was my favorite location so far in the Finger Lakes. I highly recommend this home. You will not be disappointed! Thank you for opening your home to us.
