Luxury Log Cabin in the Woods on Skaneateles Lake

Beautiful clean property on the lake. Very attentive ownership to our questions. Great reccommendations for restsurants,bakeries.

Great location. Beautiful views. Friendly caretaker. Overall great stay. If your looking for a quiet place near water this is your spot.

The property was exactly as described. Beautiful lake, beautiful cabin, great boat, beautiful setting. The driveway was a bit scary (for me) but the actual drivers were fine with it. Never used the hot tub or charcoal grill so I don't have an opinion on them. Kitchen table was great for nightly card games. Nightly campfires were awesome. Outside furniture was very good.

The cabin is beautiful, especially the covered, multi-level decks, which are wide enough to enjoy even when the weather turns rainy. The check-in process requires more coordination than the typical rental because Paul is absolutely right not to have guests find it on their own the first time. The property manager was very helpful answering questions before we drove up so we brought the right things (and left our sea kayaks home) and met up with him to guide us to the house and show us around. He made sure the twin beds on the lower level were pushed together for my son and his wife. What I didn’t realize is they were a little short for my 6’ tall son. They also would have appreciated a full door instead of saloon doors on that bedroom. We rented Paul’s pontoon boat for the week and had a great time with that, exploring the lake, trying our hand at fishing, watching the bald eagles in their nest at the south end of the lake, and tying up at the north end to explore town. We appreciated that some firewood was left on the porch for us - with such a rainy spring it was a real help with the fire pit.There are few biting bugs despite being set in the woods. Tons of steps to get down to the water and back, but the boardwalks and steps are in excellent shape, and the water is as clean and clear as promised. It’s also super-cold this time of year! Nice grocery store and restaurants in charming town, about 30-min drive. Nice hikes and waterfalls also w/in half-hour drive.

Annual girls weekend for 5. This was a new location this year instead of the beach...The serene surroundings were perfect, a little chill in the air and the town of Skaneatles is charming. Basement bedroom did not have adequate heater flow and the overall cabin needed a good clean and some recaulking but we enjoyed the rustic accommodations. Thank you for a great getaway.

Paul's Cabin was a fantastic find for a Fall getaway on VRBO! Various living levels with a fantastic view overlooking the lake and lots of great space for the family. There is a mile long drive on dirt road to access cabin, so need to be prepared for that, but that just adds to the experience! Close enough to town (20 min) Well equipped, great hot tub and amenities. Caretaker Mike is very accessible for any questions/issues that may arise. Had a fantastic time with the family, it's a hidden gem!!

Pauls lake house was spectacular. The house had everything we were looking for. Paul also was kind enough to rent his pontoon boat to us for a few days.

Great place to stay. Clean. Nice outdoor areas. Lots of stairs down to dock. Beautiful lake views.

Beautiful spot on a beautiful lake. Paul is an excellent host with great communication and his caretaker Mike is absolutely fantastic. The home is clean and comfortable with lots of different spaces to hang out in. Our group loved being on the lake every day, enjoying all it had to offer. Many great memories were made!

Phenomenal property in a secluded location right on the lake--couldn't ask for more! The cabin truly is a gem. Looking forward to staying here again in the future!
