Vacation rentals with a kayak in Onondaga County

This home was great! The game room kept the kids busy, the kitchen had everything we need, and the house was nice and cozy. Waking up to the lake in the morning was a highlight. Brad was attentive to all our needs - and even when something minor needed a fix he showed up to take care of it right away. We had a great stay!

My husband and I had a wonderful Stay at Ronnie’s! The house was exactly how it was described, and how it looked in the pictures. We couldn’t get enough of the beautiful backyard and we especially loved the loft, with comfy bean bag chairs and projector screen. The house was extremely clean and appointed with many amenities, including some extra thoughtful ones that weren’t even expected! Highly recommend this beautiful home, if you’re planning a trip to the area! If we ever come back, we will definitely be staying at Ronnie’s cozy cottage!

We were very happy with the accommodations. There is plenty of room for a family gathering. We had a pre-funeral gathering of 10 people from all over the country and were very comfortable. The hot tub was great. It was too early for the pool, but it looked clean and inviting. This would be an excellent retreat for a family of six for an extended stay in the summer or winter. A great location for a private getaway. Close to Syracuse (20 minutes) for entertainment trips.

Beautiful stay, Shaun was easy to reach, if needed. The space was clean and well stocked. Beautiful spot on the water and close to some spots in town!

Josh was very accommodating and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect.

We loved this warm and cozy home and felt right at home. The decor is beautiful and it has all the comfort one could ask for. We enjoyed using the funicular to go down to the lake. Very safe and convenient! Pauley was super responsive and friendly and would love to come back in future.

Neighborhood was very peaceful and the neighbors were friendly. The house was clean and was stocked with various things that we ended up needing to use ( like games and cooking essentials). Hosts were helpful snd responsive as well.

Thank you for letting us stay again for our yearly family fishing trip! We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come visit again next year!

Absolutely loved our stay. This was the first time I had taken my family to my lake and Ben’s lake house did not disappoint. We separately rented a boat for the week and the slip at the lake house worked out perfectly. The accommodations were great, the views were great, the water was clean … it was pretty much the best vacation the whole family has ever had together!

We highly enjoying our stay at Samantha’s cottage. It was a beautiful weekend getaway and the fall foliage made it even better!! The kitchen was extremely clean, and had everything we needed to cook meals during our stay. We weren’t there long enough to use the washer and dryer but I was grateful to have it if needed. The house has lots of natural sunlight, and the covered porch was great when it rained or when we didn’t want to make the walk down to the lake.

What a place. Extremely well appointed ... virtually everything you need in the kitchen, bathroom, boathouse, you name it. The star of the show is the waterfront. We hung out on the lower deck during the day with the diving board and swim platform and then on the deck at night with the fire pit. we had 10 adults and 11, 7, 2 and 3 months ... plenty of room for everybody. Everyone involved was pleasant and very quick to respond. Just a great vacation. Looking forward to 2025!

We loved our stay. Everything was just as described. We would definitely stay here again! David and Betsy were extremely accommodating and the bottle of local wine was a really nice touch! Thank you!

John’s “camp” was perfect for our small group. The location is great- the lake is literally right at your feet, and while this is not your “luxury” rental, it’s exactly as described. Has the necessities plus a little more- vacuum, towels, Lysol wipes, plates, cups, etc. The spiral staircase has …a learning curve… but kept us laughing all weekend! As a host, John was great- I felt confident that if any issues were to arise (they didn’t) he would make sure we were taken care of. He was accommodating, polite, and friendly as well. We would love to come back!

This rental was super cute and comfortable right on the water. We had a girls weekend and had everything we needed at Courtney's place. The cottage overlooks the water and it is a beautifully clear lake. Beds were very comfortable and everything was neat and clean. There are a few set of stairs to get down to the cottage along with stairs to access the downstairs living quarters/bedroom so just be aware of that. We saw Eagles over the water and heard owls at night...very peaceful and private. Tons to do in the town of Skaneateles as well and lots of great restaurants. We would certainly recommend this rental to anyone and are looking forward to coming back!

The cottage was perfect for Syracuse University graduation weekend. It was clean, adorable and equipped with everything we needed. Surroundings were beautiful and of course, the town (which was only a short drive away) is so quaint and pretty. Richard was a very friendly, responsive host and answered any questions I had. Definitely a place I would recommend!

The Classmates Cottage is a beautiful property and Jackie is a very helpful and a great host. The property is right on the lake with a grassy yard. It is truly a beautiful place that allows you to enjoy Lake Skaenteles and all it offers!

This stay was quite wonderful. As a stop on a road trip, it was a delightfully comfortable little stay. It was clean, easy to get into, comfortable and the sun deck was awesome for a cup of coffee in the morning before getting back to the road. I kind of want to stay in this place again, as a feature and not just a road trip night’s stay; the area seems incredible, the value is great and the host was amazing.

Kind host that approved a late check out which helped with our family travel plans. Shared water access as explained, quick walk to the pebble beach a few houses down. access to kayaks was a nice addition. AC in each room was needed and worked well. Traveled on the longest day of the year so we just wish there were black out curtains or at least any curtains over the blinds for improved sleep. The rooms looked like daytime until the sun went down. Extra towels and toilet paper provided. Enjoyed our stay, thank you!

This is a great little place, and the location is FANTASTIC. We had our boat in the back yard on Paul's dock - so awesome to have that convenience to go out fishing on the lake in the evening.

I was in for a long stay with work. This place was very peaceful and relaxing. Enjoyed the scenery of the lake and nature surrounding the house. House was very clean and up kept nicely as well. Thank you for the stay and absolutely recommend!
