Red Tail Retreat was such a treat for me and the family! Everything was extremely clean and the home was filled with lots of extras we weren't expecting like books, games, fishing rods, kayaks, a paddleboat and a well stocked kitchen. The kids had a blast and we got to relax and take in the fabulous Skaneateles Lake scenery. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back!
