Our stay in this home was lovely. The decor, the space, the yard were all great. The kitchen was well stocked and Andrew was very responsive. Would definitely stay here agaon
This house and host were absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend it enough. Just close enough to town to not be a nuisance and far enough to not deal with the tourist rush! The upgrades to the home were well done! Do not miss out!

Thanks for the kind words! We truly appreciate it…
We try so hard to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable, you can’t always win, but it sounds like we did this time haha! See you next time.

This home was perfect for our stay in Skaneateles. It was nicely decorated, kitchen had everything you’d need, it was all very clean and had comfortable bedding. Great communication with owner. Busy road, but it was a very central location for the family wedding we attended.
We’ve come to skaneateles for girls trip 3 times now and this was one of the best properties we’ve stayed at! It was beautiful and the location was perfect. Everything you could need was there for you and the house was decorated amazing. Would 100% stay again!

Very clean. Modern. Nicely decorated. Easy to get downtown. Only suggestion is to put a chair in the front bedroom & middle bedroom as the beds are “high” for sitting—especially if guests are on the shorter side. Bedroom with twin beds needs a power cord to plug things into for charging. Would definitely recommend & stay here again.
Charming,cozy, clean and beautifully updated home. Host was a great communicator. Kitchen was spacious and had just about everything to cook a Thanksgiving dinner. Beds were super comfortable!
