Perfect cottage by the lake
Loved the amazing lake views. We started and ended the day on the enclosed porch. Everyone agreed that the beds were very comfortable, we would definitely stay again!

Overall Thoughts
Great location and nice property. Disappointed that none of the summer amenities of the lake were available during my stay. I feel that I paid Summer rates and the dock, canoes and kayaks and other lakes amenities were inaccessible . We were unable to fish off the dock, and that was a disappointment.. Minor suggestions: install a functional drip coffee maker, and provide some kind of ability to hang clothes in the downstairs bedroom

Great place!
This is a fabulous home. The house was very clean and the neighborhood was quiet. The sunsets were AMAZING. We stayed for almost a week with our family (there were 8 of us at one point) and there was plenty of room (and plenty of hot water for showers). The lake is shallow out front so we didn’t have much luck fishing from the property and you couldn’t just jump in and swim but it’s perfect for launching kayaks and paddle boards. The only possible negative I can think of is that the listing said there would be a dock in the water and there was none. Other than that- it was a perfect stay!

A fine place to stay
Our family of four stayed here for a week. The location of the home was perfect, just 15 minutes from the beautiful town of Skaneateles complete with boutique shops and dining. The beds, pillows and linens were comfortable. The living room furniture was lacking, not a great seating setup and no TV which was hard to see in the photos. There was a flat screen TV in the primary bedroom but it was balancing on the dresser and not secured in any way which should be taken into consideration for guests with young children. We had a constant issue with moths entering the house throughout the week somehow despite our diligence of keeping all doors and windows closed tightly. We were in constant communication with the homeowner with this concern who was very responsive and accommodating. I was disappointed that the dock that’s shown in the photos was not in place for our stay, that was definitely something we would have enjoyed and anticipated having. I’m so glad I brought my own coffee maker because the one in the house isn’t fully functioning. All in all the place was fine. A bit overpriced for what you get, but it does have a beautiful view of the lake which was our initial draw to choosing to stay here.

Gorgeous Location, Great Hiking, cute cottage style house
Beautiful property, as listed except dock was not in the water which limited our opportunities to fish, but the stand up paddle boards made up for the missing dock. We had a severe storm the first night which damaged the kayak, but host was easy to contact and very responsive. Beds were comfortable, space was great, host added an AC unit upstairs which was key to comfort the first 2 days which were very hot! Incredible hiking nearby, Tom Thumb ice cream was heaven in a cup, and putt putt close by. Most amazing sunset we’ve seen in a while.

We had a beautiful long weekend at this property and found it absolutely charming. It was very clean with updated amenities and a gorgeous view!! We had excellent communication with our host who was very accommodating. We were close to many beautiful hikes and waterfalls, and spent our evenings enjoying the cozy house. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!
