About this property

Skaneateles Carriage House - Walking Distance to Village of Skaneateles

The Carriage House is close to the village of Skaneateles and its beautiful lake. While several restaurants and Mirbeau Spa are right across the street, we're roughly a 5-10 minute walk to all other restaurants, shops, grocery store; as well as a short drive to wineries, distilleries, hiking, etc. Great for couples, groups, and families. Washer and drier in the unit. Outdoor grill and an acre of private land available.

Comfortable linens and towels provided, kitchen stocked with lots of basic ingredients. The cottage-feel will settle you right into vacation mode!

It is a very private, second-floor, 1,000 sq ft apartment. Master bedroom queen bed sleeps 2. Guest bedroom with two twin beds sleeps 2. Sleeper sofa in living room sleeps 2.

***We also have a beautiful first floor studio add-on unit for two more guests, if upstairs guests need more space - please inquire with Kate for pricing and photos!***

One dog or cat is welcome upon approval. However, we request a $30/night pet fee to be paid upon arrival or prior. Please inquire with Kate.

Children's toys, toddler high chair and plates/utensils available.

I'm happy to share decades of experience in The Finger Lakes with you - there's so much to enjoy!

Our stay at the Skaneateles carriage house was perfect. The property was very clean and exactly as advertised. It was a short walk into town, which was exactly what we wanted. We were out and about so much and my only regret was not getting to chat with the owners more. They seemed so nice.

We enjoyed the peaceful backyard and sitting on the deck. Perfect location to walk into town, walk our dogs and lots of excellent food close. The hosts Kate & Sebastian were very accommodating, friendly and communicated immediately. We are looking forward to returning to the carriage house!

Wonderful place to stay. Has everything you need and then some. Owners are very friendly, accommodating and available if needed. Very convenient to the village center - I walked in at least once every day, and often twice or more. Loved the balcony and large yard, especially for the view. Bedding was comfortable, as was the living room area. I stayed by myself and had plenty of room. With a larger group, having only one bathroom might be challenging, but it just depends on the guests and their preferences and expectations.

This place was a perfect size for four people and our dog. Kate (the host) was very helpful and responsive to any questions we had. She even helped us with our full itinerary. It was a short walk to get into town. The house was immaculate and it had everything we needed.

Quick Spring Break Getaway

We wanted to get away for a couple of days for Spring Break somewhere close and new to us. The Carriage House was the perfect home base as we explored Skaneatles. Kate was incredibly responsive and provided helpful info about the area. The property was comfortable and well appointed. We felt at home and the location couldn't have been better - close to everything!
