About this house rental

The house is perched on a bluff with open views of Skaneateles Lake, with 300 feet of lakefront below. Located on a little-developed stretch of the eastern shore, you approach from deep woods of oak and sycamore, revealing the lake as you near the house.
The beautiful modern design is finished in redwood, both on the exterior and much of the interior. The house has two wings separated by outdoor decks. One wing is one story with living area, dining area, kitchen, bath and two bedrooms (traditionally the "kids' side"). The other wing has two stories with a bedroom on each floor and a half bath on the second floor (traditionally the "grown-ups' side").
The outdoor decks are delightful places to dine or relax with a full view of the lake. A huge oak grows through the lower deck, giving shade.
The water in Skaneateles Lake is crystal clear and clean. The waterfront has a dock with a wide area for sitting. Guests may use two kayaks and a canoe, with life jackets and paddles provided. There's also a floating splash mat- huge fun for kids! Guests may bring their own boats and use a mooring provided near the dock.
The house has no air conditioning. There is a fireplace and 3 space heaters for heating. Thanks to its location, air conditioning isn’t needed. There are fans in every room for warm nights. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, heat isn’t needed either. Earlier in May and after the third week of September the fireplace and space heaters work well, along with nice blankets we provide.
NOTE: Due to multiple changes in level and steps to the lake, this property is NOT SUITABLE for those with mobility challenges.
PRICE REDUCTION: The price that appears on this website reflects a discount of $100 per night from the initial price.

Do you love the mountains and waterfront all at the same time? Then this place is for you. You are situated in the woods, with lovely views of the lake. Lake acess is a short walk down a path to the dock. We had some of the best nights sleep with the windows open, breeze througg tge trees and the aound of tge lake

We had a lovely long weekend here! The highlights are definitely the outdoor deck for morning coffee, meals and evening chats; and of course the gorgeous lake itself! The dock is just a short walk down from the house, and we had a great time on the kayaks and floating mat.

This is a great waterfront cottage for a larger group that includes kids or teenagers. We had daily swims, played games and relaxed with a book on the porch. On the weekend there is lots of activity on the water (boats and jet skis) but it was very quiet at night and on weekdays. The nearest town is about 20 minutes drive. We loved it!

My husband, friends, and I had a special two weeks at the house located in the most serene area of Skaneateles Lake. We had no reason to leave the property given the private location, beautiful views from the outdoor deck and lake dock, and kayaking up and down the shore. This is a memorable place for friends and families to gather, share meals, and enjoy the outdoors. We all plan to return next year.

My wife and I and 2 daughters and 1 son, their 3 spouses and 3 grandkids, age 3, 6 and 7 all made the trip. We spent the week swimming, kayaking, fishing and cruising in the rowboat. My son-in-law brought an electric motor. We had a great time. We mostly ate at the cottage. The kitchen handled everything we cooked. The housing worked out really well. My son and daughter with kids stayed in the north buiding while grandparents and my daughter and her husband stayed in the south building. We really enjoyed it. The descent to the lake and climb back to the house were more rugged that we would want. We would have preferred an easier access to the water. Overall, we really enjoyed it. However, if we come again, we would look for a place with easier access to the water.
