About this house rental

Bring your pet to this beautiful lake house which sits DIRECTLY on Skaneateles Lake, one of the most crystal clear lakes in the United States. We work on the "honor" system and believe in trusting folks so we don't charge a pet fee. The home has large picture windows with a stunning view of the lake and the majestic cliffs on the eastern side. It is 4 bedrooms and 2 and 1/2 baths with a fully renovated kitchen, a screened-in porch, central heat and air, and a fireplace. It has a fully equipped office where you can work remotely, if needed. The home has an outdoor gas grill, fire pit, and screened-in porch for outside dining. There's ample pristine waterfront for swimming, kayaking and paddle-boarding directly from the shore of your home (two kayaks, paddle board, and canoe provided). If you want to bring a boat or rent one at the Skaneateles Marina, there's a slip and cleats to secure your boat. Enjoy a fire at night in the firepit on the lawn by the lake under a million stars. You can also tour one of the nearby wineries and have dinner in the picturesque village of Skaneateles. People from all over the world come just to visit the charming village of Skaneateles with its cute shops, gorgeous architecture, and wonderful restaurants. In autumn, the lake is "on fire" with the color from the gorgeous fall leaves. Bed situation: A set of twin beds on the second floor; a queen bedroom on the second floor; and a king bed in the master on the first floor. Then, you take an interior staircase down to the original part of the house where you'll find a set of twin beds. You can walk out directly onto the dock from here and there is a rocky beach to your left leading into the lake. At night, you can open the windows and hear the waves lapping the shoreline. Skaneateles is a very peaceful and beautiful place.

We had such a special time at the lake with all our loved ones. We were able to spend quality time with everyone under one roof. The house had everything we needed to cook, gather and rest without any worries. It was peaceful and beautiful. It was still too cold and the weather did not allow us to enjoy the water features. We all would like to come back again during the summer months and enjoy the water. The only problem we had was parking our RV at the house. The roads are very narrow and you really need a 4 wheel drive for maneuvering with a big trailer or motorhome would be really impossible to park. All in all it was spectacular the way the house was actually situated right on the lake.

Amy was very nice when talking about the booking. We stayed in the very early spring so the water was too cold to swim (and we knew that ahead of time - we didn't go for that, but i would consider coming back to this house in the summer when my youngest can swim). House was perfect for us but it is 20 minutes away from gas, convenience stores, and pretty much anything else you can think of so plan accordingly. We loved it and definitely would come back.

What a beautiful spot for people to gather! We had a quiet , relaxing stay. Visited Skaneateles. Spent time enjoying the peacefulness of the lake. And we used the outdoor fire pit to make s'mores! If you like quiet and relaxing, then this is the place for you.

2 families spent our Thanksgiving weekend sharing good food, good times and making great memories. There was plenty of room for everyone to be together and still have space . The beds were incredibly comfortable. The views were gorgeous. The kitchen was well stocked. The great room was perfect. Peaceful and quiet yet close enough to go to the Dickens Festival. Pure bliss! The hosts were great communicators before and during our stay. Very responsive! Very accommodating! Very nice people. The house was decorated with endless cool items that always deserved a second look. Very clean.

Lovely home, all amenities you can think off. Kitchen and bathroom well stocked. Great communication with host Amy about checking in. Enjoyed the kayaks, nice quality life jackets and water shoes. Plenty of hiking nearby with our dog. We ventured into Homer a 25 min ride and loved this quaint little village. Bev and Co best ladies boutique. Went on an unexpected shopping spree. The Exchange, a new fine dining restaurant had delicious food was another unexpected surprise for this small town. Amy’s place in a great location. Close enough to bustling little towns but in a peaceful lakeside setting.

The location and home itself are beautiful! The decorating is upscale and comfortable, but not stodgy. The view is spectacular! The main level is up one level from the water, so it looks like you are on a boat all the time. The architecture is spectacular, and we wondered repeatedly how they were able to build it since it was built on and descending a cliff. That does mean there are lots of stairs. We spent a lot of time on the little piece of lawn at lake level. It is so serene and beautiful. The kitchen is well-equipped, as is the rest of the place. The linens are plentiful and of good quality. The internet is robust enough to handle devices at once. The bed selection was perfect for our group: a king suite, a large queen bedroom, and a room with 2 twins. The mattresses (as of October 2023) were extremely comfortable. We loved the place and are planning on returning next year. For drawbacks that may affect some potential renters: If anyone in your group has difficulty with going up and down stairs, this is not the place for you. But for us, it was perfect! Another potential issue for renters is that the road down to the house is steep, narrow, and - in one direction- contains a hairpin turn. Thus, if you have a vehicle that is very low to the ground or is oversized (like a Suburban) you are going to have to be very careful. We had Subarus and had no difficulty.

Our 6 night stay was absolutely fantastic. The house was so beautiful, right on lake Skaneateles. The kids used the kayaks and played by the water. It was a bit cold, so no swimming on this trip. The house was so clean and well stocked with all essentials in the kitchen and bathrooms. Check in was easy and the communication with the home owner was warm and inviting . We hope to come back soon.

We enjoyed an exceptional stay! Amy was a wonderful host. It was as if every need we had was anticipated. Her home was so well stocked with anything we could think of needing on vacation. We enjoyed kayaking, playing ping pong, eating all of our meals on the screened in porch overlooking the lake and hanging out in the living room. Thank you for creating such a peaceful and rejuvenating environment.
