Lake House Skaneateles

GraceRating, 5 stars8 months ago

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.

A spacious deck is furnished with a sectional seating area and a coffee table, shaded by a large umbrella. Surrounding greenery and distant views of a barn and rolling hills enhance the outdoor setting, providing a welcoming space for relaxation.

Spotless ranch 2 miles to village & beautiful yard

Janice SherlyRating, 5 stars2 days ago

This home was perfect for our stay! Deb is responsive and kind and I have to say, this was the cleanest, nicest air bnb I’ve ever stayed in. I gotta say….the kitchen is stocked! And she had an abundance of supplies! I had to do a load of laundry, and there was the soap! I had brought my own extra TP, paper towels and rags because experience tells me to. lol (you don’t need to bring anything!) There is some road noise, but we heard nothing at night at all! Wish I could post a picture of the back porch and yard. Just beautiful! I got a great picture of the pond with the sun setting behind it. It was so nice!!! Will be staying again. I have friends in the area.

DoriRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had an absolute wonderful stay at James' lake cottage. Check in was easy and the cottage was clean and nicely decorated. We instantly felt welcomed and at home in the sweet space. The outdoor space was so lovely and peaceful. We enjoyed using the grill and kayaks. James had great local recommendations for us- we loved hiking at the nearby Lime Hollow Preservation and embarked on multiple hikes around to see spectacular waterfalls. Homer was a fun small town where we enjoyed lunch, some shopping and even a parade one evening! Our long weekend at the cottage was memorable, fun and relaxing. We would definitely love to come back!

Paul's Lodge on Skaneateles Lake

JodiRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Paul’s lodge is a beautiful, peaceful escape on the lake. The outdoor spaces are fantastic. We traveled with 2 families of 4 (four kids ages 10-13) and the kids found plenty to do with exploring, hiking, polar plunging, and using the hot tub. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. We spent a lot of time on the deck with the fireplace, which was wonderful in the evenings and at night! Definitely recommend a 4 wheel drive car… the access road is steep and slippery when wet! Just take your time and you’ll be fine driving in or out. The hike to the mailboxes was a fun little challenge! We spent one day in the adorable town of Skaneateles, and Mike recommended a great place for us to eat (Sherwood inn). The town is quaint and lots of nice shopping! Overall we had an excellent time and would come back again!
