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.

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 just completed a four day stay at the cottage. It's a beautiful setting and close to town. It definitely has a lake cottage vibe. The kitchen, dining area, living room, bath, and bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The sun room was very nice. The cottage is an excellent place to spend a vacation with friends and family.

This lake cottage is very practical for a family with a beautiful bedroom for adults on the first floor and children's accommodations on the second floor. The lake and dock are spectacular! The city of Auburn is close by with many good restaurants including Michaels and Lascas.

Questions regarding the property were answered quickly. This rental was clean. It was much smaller than it looked like from the pictures online. the real disappointment was that the water is very shallow for a long way out, so it made it very difficult for boating. Also kind of difficult for older children to swim because it was so shallow. There were also no fish, so the children were very disappointed due to the fact that they could not fish from shore. However, the water mat, tubes, and paddleboard provided by the rental were great to have. The outside patio by the lake is very nice to enjoy relaxing and looking at the lake. The corn hole was also a good time, especially because our week did not provide great weather and it was incredibly windy so the lake was very rough. Having other things for the kids to do made it enjoyable.
