Great accommodations and a great location

We stayed in this precious bungalow to attend Syracuse University graduation, but we’re fortunate enough to have a free morning to spend in Skaneateles. A house is about 2 miles away on a very simple drive. If it had been a walkable road, I would’ve given it five stars for location!

Winderful

This older house has been renovated and decorated very nicely! It is on a very busy main road so traffic can be loud at rush-hour. But it’s quite manageable. Do keep in mind that the wonderful bathroom is at the back of the house through what they call the office which has a twin bed. Thus, if someone is sleeping in that room, they will have to put up with others cutting through to use the bathroom. This was not a problem for us because we were just one couple using just one main bedroom. But it was a longer hike than we are used to in the middle of the night although really not too far. (We are Seniors). The kitchen looked very well equipped, and typically we would be using it and cooking more than we did but we were visiting family who did all of that for us so we did not have the opportunity to thoroughly check that out. But it certainly looked very well stocked. We would definitely rebook if we were needing a place in the area.

Cute Bungalow not far from town

We enjoyed our stay. The home was adorable, clean and close to town. The only challenge for us, which was a big one was that the bathroom was located inside the bedroom that our teenager was sleeping in. So at 2am, we had to creek open the door and wake him up to go to the bathroom. If this had been advertised I would not have booked the property.

Lovely Home

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The property manager was very easy to communicate with. We enjoyed that there is a lovely hiking path nearby with a brewery at the end as a bit of a reward. The home had all the things that were needed for a comfortable stay. It is also a pet friendly home which resulted in our dog enjoying the trip.

So cute!

The whole area is so sweet. Calm neighborhood. Cute house that has character! Isn’t overly modernized, but updated! Very close to shops and restaurants. Enjoyed having breakfast on the porch! My one super small critique (and easily changed if they want to) was that I wish the front door had a sheer curtain on it since it’s mostly glass. Really enjoyed my stay!

Perfect little Skaneateles retreat

We loved staying at this home! It was a perfect size for our family and our visit to the lovely town of Skaneateles. We loved the claw tub in the bathroom and convenience of everything on one floor. The porch was adorable, a perfect place for a morning cup of coffee. My mom loved the vintage book collection, and even saw a few her grandmother had owned! We're just sorry we didn't have time to read them all.

Lovely house, close to the village. The yard is huge and beautiful. Jordan Ave is a main thoroughfare and it has lots of traffic during the day. But it didn't keep us from sitting on the poch

Great to be back in Skane

The VRBO was comfortable, well appointed and above all, air conditioned as we arrived at the start of some very hot weather. Location convenient to town and easy ride to the thruway. Just a suggestion to mention AC in the rental info. Many thanks, Lindsay for a pleasant visit.
