Works Well with the Lake House

We also rented the Lake House across the street, so it worked great as a combination.

Rooms were clean and ready for use. Some areas of the cottage could use an extra sweeping for cobwebs. Overall, super cozy, clean, and wonderful location. Thank you for offering this cottage on VRBO.

Great Get-A-Way

We spent a week at the cottage during winter months and it was still lovely. It’s a short walk to the lake and short drive to the town. The accommodations were spacious and comfortable just what we needed for a winter escape/getaway.

The overall cleanliness was good, the space was sufficient. However, this place needs some TLC. The cabinet door was hanging off, my husband fixed it. The kitchen is not stocked well at all. The pots are all nonstick with so many scratches - very toxic. So we used the 1 stainless steel pans to cook everything. There is minimal utensils and plates. 3 cereal bowls for 4 people and 3 dinner plates. Kind of upsetting when you’re paying 400/night. There were no filters for the coffee pot so we had to run out and get those. I just think a little TLC and a trip to Homegoods could make the guests feel more at home and appreciated. The house is not waterfront. There is a house in front of it and you have to walk through that years to get down to the steep stairs to the water. The dock wasn’t attached yet, which was understandable for our April stay, but definitely no place to really relax in front of the water.

Wonderful Lake Cottage

Great property for a family of 5. Fireplaces worked well on a chilly night. Host was very accommodating. Convenient to Skaneateles and its restaurants and shops. Definitely recommend this lake cottage.
