About this house rental

Enjoy the ambiance of the Adirondacks yet the sophistication of fine dining, Broadway-quality musicals, and a world-class music festival in one of the most quaint villages in the Fingerlakes. Sit on the front deck among the hemlocks and you may see our resident eagles, or enjoy the afternoon sun on the back patio overlooking your own private waterfall in our ravine! Hike or drive up to the nearby 90-foot-tall Carpenter's waterfall with a new viewing platform and stairs to the water below, along with the path hike down to the lake. Explore with one of our 4 kayaks, or dock your boat on our mooring (May 31-Oct 1) and motor up to town to dock at the town's pier where you can shop and enjoy local eateries. Or stay home and catch some bass off the dock! We are a 20-minute drive from downtown Skaneateles. If it's raining, indulge in a massage and yoga class at Mirbeau Spa in town, or just veg in our covered open-air hot tub and open porch overlooking the lake. Nearby are famous Fingerlakes Wineries, several golf courses, public tennis, and pickleball courts, and Sunday polo matches. In August enjoy the renowned Skaneateles Festival featuring 3 nights weekly of classical music. If you prefer musicals, the Merry-Go-Round Theater hosts Broadway-class shows. Rent a party boat to tool around our beautiful lake with mansions on the north and more flora/fauna to the south. We have plenty of parking. A bonus common area with 4 queen beds, separated by half-walls and curtains, is available for parties needing mostly adult accommodations for an extra weekly charge of $300. Please speak with manager.

The lake is not swim-ready until mid-June unless you are a very hardy soul! Prior to then, we just love sunning on the dock and boating. Fall is one of the most beautiful and peaceful seasons to enjoy this private retreat. If there is snow in late fall/early spring (rare but possible!), we will happily refund your deposit as we cannot guarantee access as the road is not plowed. We take out the dock extension/floating dock/mooring sometime before late September; please let us know if you are bringing a boat. Boat rentals are available at Skaneateles Marina ((315) 685-5095 or Skaneateles Boat Rental (315-395-4210).

My family stayed in this lovely home and enjoyed it tremendously. We were 6 adults and 5 children and the house was big enough for all of us to feel comfortable. The kitchen was amazing with room for several cooks at a time. There was enough room throughout the house so that everyone had a spot to retreat to. The main attraction for both children and adults was the beautiful dock. Both children and adults enjoyed using the kayaks and inner tubes. I would love to return to this house and highly recommend it.

We have stayed here before but this was our first time visiting in the summer. The location is absolutely beautiful, and we loved being able to use the kayaks and intertubes and really enjoy the lake. The property manager was very attentive and helpful. We would definitely come back again.

The lay out of this home was perfect. Our first time on this lake. Perfect for relaxing yet close enough to many other activities. Great hiking nearby

The property is super clean - the views are amazing - even better in person - the photos don’t do the views justice. The view is amazing. We were in town for Syracuse Grad weekend / and we plan to return with the family for a retreat. Thank you!

The surrounding property and home is beautiful. It was so lovely to relax in the mornings soaking in the view and in the evenings as well. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms well stocked - we were five in our party. As mentioned in previous reviews the road can be a little tricky at night as it is narrow and winding - just take your time. It is about a 30 minute drive to the town of Skaneateles but we thought the drive was scenic. Would absolutely recommend and return to this property.
