Cozy family home ideal for enjoying the lake and town
The property has a lovely view of the lake with a seating area and dock. The house has a homey feel. I enjoyed the fact that the bedrooms were separated from each other. My family and I had a lovely stay and made lifelong memories.

Family Reunion at Skaneateles Lake
Home is rustic, spacious and has nice dock on lake. Interior is very outdated but we weren’t there to hang out inside. It was great for family reunion as we all had space and could spend time together. No air conditioning. Very easy to rent and check in- we would go back again.

Perfect group retreat on Lake
We stayed for a family wedding and the home was perfect for what we needed. Spacious, comfortable, clean and a great location just a few minutes drive into town. We stayed in the winter but could see how this location on the lake would be even better in the summer time. The hosts were communicative and easy to work with.

Attending Family Wedding
The location of the property is great and the host is very nice. The house itself is nice but furniture is very old and not updated, especially in the livingroom. The couches are uncomfortable. I think they should consider doing a little bit of facelift in the livingroom area. The TV was not good either. We could not gather in the livingroom and watch sports. Since it was winter and cold outside, activities were limited. It is also 15 minutes away from town.

Lovely Lake House
The location was key- both close to the town center and right on the lake. We had fun on the lake using the kayaks and spent time at night with the fire pit. My family had a really great time!

Perfect family stay on the lake
My family rented this property over Labor Day weekend and had the best time! The house was clean and furnished very nicely, as well as great access to the lake! We rented a boat and spent the days on the lake, had dinners on the back deck, watched the sunset, and then spent evenings around the fire pit. This house was perfect space-wise for the accommodations of 10 adults, and I would highly recommend this rental for a carefree and enjoyable stay on the lake.

Great Location on Skaneatles Lake
The 5 bedroom house with bedrooms on both sides and living areas in the middle provided room for several families in our group. Outdoor deck with umbrella and table was perfect for eating and relaxing. Lakeside dock area was relaxing. The beds could use a mattress upgrade, too soft for several of us. The house is roomy and dining areas accommodate a large group.

Wedding Weekend
We stayed at this home while attending a nearby wedding. It was roomy enough for the 10 family members. The house was clean and very comfortable. The view of the lake was great. Didn't make use of the outside area due to the weather in November. We would stay here again.

Perfect fall weekend with friends
We had a great weekend with perfect weather in an amazing setting. The house was very comfortable and family-friendly and you can’t beat the location. We loved taking the little ones on the paddle boat and playing in the back yard in the fall leaves. The house was nice and spacious with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and cozy gathering spaces in the living and dining rooms.

Wonderful long weekend with family
We chose this property for an end of summer long weekend with our family (group of 10). All of us thought the house looked even better than it did in the pictures! We made use of the kayaks, relaxed on the dock while enjoying the beautiful view, sat around the fire pit at night and played board games in the dining room. The house had everything we needed to make meals and was spacious and comfortable. The water was rocky so we would suggest water shoes if you plan on going in the water. Overall, it was a great weekend and we would recommend this property.

Wonderful stay with friends & family!
We stayed 5 days at the lake house. We hosted two parties with friends and family. We were concerned about parking (There is only two spaces at the lake house), but we did make it work with some parking up the hill. The house was very large. It was very hot that week so we appreciated the air conditioning in the master bedroom. The dock was wonderful. We could not rent a boat because the lake was too high, but we hope to next year. The only con was that I wish there was more utensils and bowls for entertaining. Thanks for a great time!

Long Weekend at the Lake
Large, waterfront lake house perfect for a long weekend at the lake. The location was great - close to town for dining and shopping. Watched beautiful sunsets from the lakefront and spent evenings around the fire pit. The house was comfortable for a group. Needs some updating but overall a good value. Would definitely stay again!

Do not recommend
We had issues with the cleanliness of the property. There were clothing garments left behind from the previous renters (underwear and bathing suits) and there were live bugs in one of the bedrooms (including on the bed). The entire house needs an upgrade in general. Most of the water equipment was broken and the hammock was also broken. The place overall felt icky and quite dated. Also, there is no central AC. There is 2 window units in the house, but majority of the rooms do not have AC.

Confused?
Our stay was confusing. Brian couldn’t be a nicer more text attentive property owner. He replied to every question and statement quickly. The real issues were in the condition of the home and how different it was from how it was described. During our stay the internet was out and had to be fixed (a power splitter in a guest bedroom was connected to a light switch that we were not alerted to so when the light was turned off the internet and cable did not work??). The owner was oblivious to this. The freezer was leaking water all trip and after alerting the owner to this alarming fact he suggested putting a towel under the door to sop up the puddles of water that accumulated every day. There was a leak under the sink that when the owner was alerted to this fact he seemed unfazed? The house was old and needed an overhaul. Almost every storage area in the home was filled with junk and unusable. The landscaping and roof had been neglected. Overall this property could be great but the owner’s lack of attention to detail and basic cleanliness was lacking. This rental was not worth the money we paid. We did enjoy our time because we made the best of it. Brian is a nice person but lacked in the property management department. I would avoid this property.

Family lake house fun
If you re a large family with baby & pet , you'll love the atmosphere here, very chill. A kind of " A family Stone " movie type place where everyone has a way to make their preferences happen.... run in Austin Park, dinner in the village , boating on the beautiful clear Skaneateles lake, fire pit time, ...nice to have extra parking for those coming up to visit for one day. Not a place if you want a Hilton experience with luxury spa treatment, We enjoyed our stay as it fit our desire ...
