Great Lake house
We had a wonderful long weekend on Lake Skaneateles. The house is in great shape, the owner kept in close contact and was very responsive, and the lake is beautiful. We took advantage of the fire pit under starry skies every night. We will definitely stay here again if we make it to the Finger Lake region in the future.

The lake house is amazing! The view, the hot tub, the fire pit, the deck… the perfect setting for a totally chill vaca (which is what we were going for). Close to downtown Skaneateles where you’ll find the cutest town with fun stores and great food. Lots of great hiking and places to explore like Beak & Skiff, Elderberry Pond, Crazy Daisy’s and Watkins Glen. Allison and Andy are great hosts and made sure everything was perfect. We will def be return guests. Much more to eat and explore !

Sublime
I absolutely loved this house. It was breathtaking to drive up to see a sweet house surrounded by woods with the lake in the background. What was even more breathtaking was to actually walk into the house and see the lake in all its glory theough the wall of windows. I never tired of the view and the peacefulness and had I been able to swing it with flights etc I would’ve eagerly extended the stay. The house has everything you need, the kitchen is well stocked, there’s a washer and a dryer and a very good choice of kayaks, paddleboards, oars, life jackets, etc. The bed was very comfortable and the second bedroom looked really cute. I honestly cannot express to you what a sense of peace this property gave me. Skaneateles is a gorgeous 15 minute drive away, Dougs Fish Fry was awesome, went twice. The town is just as beautiful as the first time I happened upon it 7 years ago. Do drive the lovely one hour drive to Ithaca Farmers Market, you won’t regret it I promise! But do it early in your stay so you can take advantage of the all fresh produce, pies, cheese and flowers. I will definitely be bringing my husband to this house within the next year. The only negative I can possibly think of - and this is being SUPER picky - is that I would suggest to update the two leather couches to upholstered couches and possibly move the tv to another wall for easier viewing. But again, this is me being excessively picky! ;) The house and the lake are sublime.

Beautiful lakefront getaway
We visited the hideaway as a short family getaway for our 10 year anniversary (myself, my husband and our toddler). As soon as we drove up we fell in love. The house is quaint and gorgeous. It was spotlessly clean. The views were phenomenal with the sliding glass doors along the whole back of the house. Despite the cool, rainy weather we had a wonderful time. We can’t wait to go back again next year!

Beautiful lake property!
The cottage was very clean & modern! Alison was extremely helpful & pleasant! The lake views are breathtaking whether you’re in the house, on the back porch, in the hot tub, at the look out deck or on the dock! The extra amenities (hot tub, paddle boards, sunscreen, bug spray, speakers, walkie-talkies, candles, cooler, extra towels, bedside reading lights, plethora of kitchen utensils & dishes, etc) were a huge plus. We felt like we were at home! That’s really hard to do when traveling with an infant! We hope to go back very soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Smartest decision to stay for a week! We used the lake, the hammock, the fire pit, the hot tub and the cozy cottage for one of my favorite weeks. Such a great place to reconnect with busy teens and semi-adult kids! Owner was excellent communicator, place was clean and stunning location/ views. Hope to be back.

This house is a gem with gorgeous views of the water and a serene, private, quiet place to relax and enjoy lake living. Alison was a great communicator and helped with all questions I had with quick responses. The home was super clean and the beds were comfortable. I highly recommend renting this space, it's one of the best!

Lovely Property with lots of great amenities
We really enjoyed staying at this property as it is modern and clean with lots of things to do. Our weather was not good, but we were able to enjoy the hot tub overlooking the picturesque lake. Had it been warmer and dryer, we would have enjoyed the waterfront location much more. As it was, we were close to this great historic town with lots of shopping and restaurant choices. Good and inexpensive golf options within 30 minutes drive as well. We would love to return to this property later in the season when we can enjoy the water more.

Beautiful Getaway
My husband and I stayed for 4 nights in mid October. Check in/out was super easy, house owner is lovely. The house is updated and beautiful. The entire back is sliding glass doors which lead to a magnificent view of the lake. The house was super clean, and comfortable. We had some colder and rainy weather, but the house setup allowed us to still enjoy the lake! Highly recommend and will definitely return!

Peaceful Paradise
From the moment I made the reservation until the time we locked the door at checkout Alison was great. She made communicating with her a a total breeze and was very responsive whenever we had a question. The cottage is beautiful and very comfortable. It has every modern amenity you could ask for on a vacation. Everything is practically brand new. The views from the property are absolutely stunning, especially since we were there at the peak of the leaves changing. You can take a nice long nap in the hammock, have some drinks around the firepit, or just enjoy your morning coffee and take in the peacefulness of the lake while sitting in your Adirondack chair on the dock. I cannot recommend this place enough and we will definitely be visiting again next year!

Amazing lake house with all the amenities! The property was very easy to get to, and the view of the lake was SUBLIME. We regretted not booking a longer stay at the cabin, two nights weren't enough to appreciate the views.

This Cottage Is In a Wonderful, Peaceful, and Private Location
We were there for a wedding, and this location was perfect. It was very comfortable for three of us. The dock area was very nice with a firepit. Great place to go out on the deck early in the morning with a cup of coffee. There are lots of windows facing the lake and beautiful views from the living room and the king bedroom facing the lake. Even though the neighboring houses are on the same road, the property seemed secluded and private. The pictures of the cottage are very accurate. Very well maintained and clean. A couple of minor issues due to the beginning of the season were resolved immediately. There is no WiFi and very limited TV with no major network channels so take your favorite DVDs along or just enjoy the serenity of the lake. I would definitely recommend this property and would like to return.

Private, clean and bright. Beautiful views. Well appointed.
Our family of five had a wonderful time at Neoga Cliffs. Alison (the owner) is responsive and has family nearby if anything is needed. They have redone nearly everything to the house and very recently put in an amazing new staircase down to the water and dock. Incredible engineering. Wonderful panoramic views from the house. Lake Skaneateles is clean, clear and beautiful and perfect for swimming in July. There is plenty to explore nearby with the rowboat, including an ice-cold spring fed stream with a smoothed rock bottom, and we collected lots of fossils from the shale rocks of the cliffs. The town of Skaneateles is 20 minutes away for fun, dining and shopping. A great choice for a family vacation with all the niceties.
