About this cottage rental

If you’re looking for a secluded rustic cottage on a beautiful lake, Pinewood is the place for you.
Located on the eastern shore of Skaneateles Lake, the “jewel of the Finger Lakes”, Pinewood, is the perfect getaway. Pinewood is a rustic 3 bedroom cottage, secluded in the woods, on the lake. You can enjoy sunny days on the dock and in the water. In the evening the sunsets are breathtaking from your porch, the firepit or the dock. You are just 8 miles by boat or car from the Village of Skaneateles where you can find restaurants, gift shops, and a grocery store.
From your front door it is just a few steps to the firepit. Chairs surround the firepit and we provide all the wood you need to enjoy your evenings around the fire. Just past the firepit are the stairs, (40 steps down) leading to the water and the private dock. There you find chairs for sitting and enjoying the lake. There are two kayaks and life vests so you can have fun paddling around the lake.
This 3 bedroom cottage has a Master bedroom with a Queen bed. The additional 2 bedrooms each have 2 twin beds. Maximum occupancy is 6 people. Cottage has an open plan kitchen/living room/dining area. Cottage is fully furnished. Cottage has cable TV, cd/dvd player, Wifi internet, a selection of dvd’s, gas stove, refrigerator, microwave, and an outdoor gas grill, (propane is provided by owner). Bed linens and towels are provided. Beds are made before you arrive. We even provide beach towels. There is one bathroom with a shower. The cottage has a covered porch and open deck with a patio table and 6 cushioned chairs. There is also a picnic table that seats 6.
This cottage has 100 feet of lakefront and is situated on 5 wooded acres. The one half mile private road insulates you from the nearest public road. On the lake you have a 36’ dock to enjoy. If you have a boat the dock will accommodate up to a 24’ boat for passengers to board or leave the boat. There is a mooring buoy available for leaving the boat when not in use. There is a rowboat to get you to and from your boat or just to have fun rowing around on the lake. Great swimming, fishing, and boating in the clear water of Skaneateles Lake. At the end of your dock is a mailbox. Each morning Monday through Saturday a Mailboat filled with tourists stops to deliver our mail. (You can book rides on this Mailboat and see the entire lake).
Whether a place to come and hang out or a vacation starting point to see the wonders of the Finger Lakes, we think you will love Pinewood. All you need is your clothes, your food, and your water toys.

This was our fourth year of staying at this adorable cottage. Every time we arrive something new has been done. This year it was a beautiful new kitchen that is so user-friendly! We hope to return to this wonderful place as long as we are able.

Our stay was enjoyable and relaxing. The rental is very dog friendly, with places to walk your dog off-leash. Very good communication with the owners.

Pinewood is just as it states, relaxing. Our hosts couldn't have been better. Ask about the history of the cabin as it's a great story. The swimming is top notch! No weeds, smooth rock bottom. The stairs provide a good workout. If you're lucky enough to be there for a Borodino VFD pancake breakfast you'll be very happy!

We spent another 2 weeks at the cottage on Skaneateles Lake. Our hosts were as wonderful as always and we enjoyed the water, the woods and all the fantastic restaurants in the village. We hope we can always return there.

We love this property on the lake. A purely relaxing week with swimming, kayaking and watching our dog have the time of her life in the water. Thanks for sharing your special place.

Returned to Skaneateles Lake 50 years after creating impossible to duplicate little kid memories. What a happy surprise and magical vacation! Our welcoming and down to earth hosts were lovely, informative and kind. Their well appointed cozy cabin is tucked steps from beautiful Skaneateles Lake. Kayaks await and mooring - we rented a pontoon boat to explore the spectacular lake - what fun! The village shops, restaurants and tour options are just right. All joy! We will be back!
