Lovely getaway
The place was great, roomy for just the two of us and our dog. I loved taking the short walk down to the lakeshore each morning and especially at night to see all the stars. Hosts were more than accommodating and friendly. We'll definitely stay here again!

Great Cabin!
We felt like we were in the middle of peaceful woods with our very own lake to skip rocks on. Then we jumped in our car and we were in the cutest town, Skaneateles, with shops restaurants and a great place to walk in just a 4 minute car ride! My kids want us to buy the cabin!

Wonderful stay
My friend and I stayed in this property for our annual fishing and guitar playing trip. The property was more spacious that expected and it has real nice private lake access. It’s also only 1 mile from town. We had a great time from Thursday thru Sunday. I highly recommend this property!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the cottage. Very serene setting, yet so close to the village, which is a 25 minute walk away. Wonderful sunsets from the dock. Thanks to Andy!

Beautiful lake!
We enjoyed our stay at Skaneateles lake. The cottage has lake access, which is where we launched our kayaks from. The lake was quiet and calm during our stay! Andy is very nice and was responsive to my questions. Tyson enjoyed our getaway!

We had a great stay, but had to work around some rainy weather.
We love this area and all around Skaneateles. This location is convenient to town and stores and recreation. Walking down to the lake and sitting was so relaxing. We had a nice cook out with some family who came up for the day and a nice campfire in the firepit to cap off a truly wonderful vacation.

Relaxing weekend
The cabin had all the amenities listed and was a nice home away from home. The interior was clean and ready for our visit. Just a short walk from the cabin, the sitting area down by the lake was very peaceful. The neighborhood was quiet and close to areas we wanted to see, including Syracuse, Seneca Falls, and Auburn.

5 Stars
We had a great stay at the cabin near the lake. Andy was extremely responsive and flexible with questions and adjusting our reservation. We stayed at the property during a heat wave, but there were plenty of fans and the bedroom had an AC unit. Everything was as pictured. Morning stroll to the lake felt like a movie… bunnies, chipmunks, ducklings all made appearances. The property makes you feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle but is a short drive or walk to the village.

Quaint Cottage
This property was perfect for our needs. We were gone most days, but we did enjoy the scenery surrounding the cottage. It was gorgeous. It fit 3 adults nicely. I wouldn't recommend any more than 4. The property manager was communicative and checking in and out was a breeze.

Perfect Skaneateles Stay
This place is everything and more! The pictures don’t do it justice. The inside has a coziness that isn’t captured by photos. It feels like you’re staying at a remote “camp” but walking distance to town- which I wouldn’t have thought was possible. Andy went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. He let us use his Cornhole set too! 5 stars.

The cabin was very nice it included a short stroll to be on the water.
The cabin was very nice. The bed was comfortable and we spent coffee time on the porch. It is a short stroll to the water where you can sit on a porch or dock on the water for a beautiful sunset. We brought our fishing boat and enjoyed relaxing and fishing on the lake. There is a great NYS boat launch on the west side of the lake. You do need to bring bottled water for drinking. Our dog seemed to enjoy her little get away. Thank you to the hosts.

We had a great stay!
The cabin was clean and welcoming, and had everything you might need for cooking and eating in. The property was quiet and it was a short walk to the lake front where you culd sit and enjoy the view. The owner was friendly and was kind enough to provide drinking water for us and our dogs, as there was some slight risk associated with the lake water, which he took care to advise us of when we arrived. There was a so a printout detailing the water quality issue and city contact information of we needed it. The town nearby was also very nice hand had lots of great spots to choose from for dinner.

Cottage
My husband and I had a wonderful time at the cottage. It was quaint, comfortable and very clean. We enjoyed the short walk to the lake each morning and loved the town of Skaneateles. I cannot give enough praise to our host Andrew. Throughout the reservation process, prior to our leaving, and during our stay, he answered my E-mails promptly and made sure everything was set for our arrival. Thank you Andrew and looking forward to coming again next year.

A suggestion
since the property owner recommends that guests use bottled water for drinking, a couple of bottles to get a new guest started would be appreciated. also some detail on what is in the house before we have to ask. beautiful and clean property. we were not there to take advantage of all the amenities because we were having a family reunion off site but we would visit again.

Beautiful area and wonderful cabin
Our cabin was in a very private area with access to the lake. That is exactly what we we were looking for—privacy, quiet, and a peaceful natural area with birds and our special rabbit whom we saw frequently. We loved the dock area and spent a lot of time there just looking at the lake. We took our boards and kayak out every day to explore the beautiful, clean waters of the lake. It was a wonderful experience. The cabin was comfortable and clean, with all necessities provided. I appreciated the coffee-table book about the Finger Lakes, which made me think about the history of the region and its progressive communities. The back porch and campfire area were also comfy, and we used them a lot. I hope that cabins like ours continue to be offered to Skaneateles visitors, and that the neighborhood does not become increasingly posh and exclusive.

Lake Access Cabin
While our weather was unexpectedly chilly, our time away in the cabin was wonderful. We were supplied adequately with heat and with every possible device and appliance. We had a woodsy, charming and short walk to the lake which our Italian Greyhound especially enjoyed. The bed, the bedding, the towels, the dishes, the cooking utensils were good quality and more than adequate. And the availability of firepit and wood was an extra treat. Just being near the beautiful Village of Skaneateles was especially noteworthy. But, if your hope is to fish, bring or rent a boat or kayaks.
