Private, Cottage with Skaneateles Lake access, one mile from village center

The one bedroom cottage was a comfortable stay for us. The size was good for us and it was very clean. Just about everything needed was available. The location was very convenient for the places we wanted to visit. It was surprising private considering it was really located in a neighborhood. We stayed in the fall so we didn't take advantage of the waterfront for swimming/boating. The small porch was nice. Communication was great, it was easy to get into the cottage. It is an older building with a cottage feel.

Close to downtown, nice rustic feel. Very safe area. Loved the local restaurants and breweries.

I’m giving this review to help people planning to stay here to be prepared for a few “gliches” in this property. First of all, if you’ve never been to this area, you will find the turn off to the property difficult to find. As described, it looks like a driveway, but is actually a gravel road leading down to the cabin. We passed it 3 times before being sure where to turn. Google maps gave us a different turn! The photos are accurate, but the term, “rustic” definitely applies. We were here in early fall, so needed AC as well as heat. One small AC window unit in bedroom, and a floor fan for cooling. The heating unit in the living room came on by itself and runs extremely loud. Again, just be aware.The biggest issues we had were having a kitchen with absolutely no condiments like basic salt and pepper, and the bathroom floor that is sunken in front of the toilet, and no soap or bathroom products. As I reread the description of the property, it does say no “disposables “. I guess we just didn’t understand that this meant you as the guest provide everything! Guess we were spoiled by the last place we stayed that had everything you could possibly need or want!If you want privacy, it’ll be good for you. There is a short walk down to the lake, which gives a nice view. And it does have a small rustic pier as pictured. We met the owners on our last day, and they were extremely nice. We didn’t bring up any issues with them since we were leaving the next morning.

The perfect weekend getaway with our doggie! So quiet and the dock lake access was gorgeous! We want to stay longer next time!

Clean. Rustic. Fully equipped. Peaceful. Short walk to lakefront.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay! Aside from being a great location, the cabin is cozy and pleasant. It was well-stocked with kitchen gear and things like towels and such. The bed was super comfortable. Andrew is great. Easy to talk to and responsive.Skaneateles Lake is a gem. I miss my daily swims!I would stay here again without hesitation.

The cabin is in a perfect location, just minutes away from the village. The waterfront was incredibly beautiful and peaceful. The hosts were attentive, friendly and provided great communication. We loved our stay!

Property was as expected! We enjoyed the Skaneateles lake!

Cute rustic cottage conveniently located near the village of Skaneateles. Short drive into town to pick up groceries / supplies or visit the local shops and restaurants. While there is no view of the lake from the cottage, the short walk down the path is pleasant and the private shed porch / shoreline / dock provide ample opportunity to enjoy the lake.Walk-in access to the water made launching the kayaks we brought easy. The cottage is clean, cozy, and nicely decorated. We enjoyed our trip and hope to return again.

Had a great stay in Skaneateles, beautiful setting, with private water access to a gorgeous lake. Very very private and cozy, with wonderful nights watching movies together after moving my daughter to her new apartment. Restaurants were fabulous and very short drive, sleep was great with comfortable beds, and Andrew was so responsive. Despite the fact that it is on the same road as the owner it is very very private! I want to come back when we can spend all our moments there!

The cabin was clean and dry (during a torrential downpour all week). Everything was lovely: the linens, furniture and artwork. The hosts were responsive and kind, couldn’t ask for better!

I decided not to book a hotel for my son’s graduation wknd and stay in Skaneateles. I wanted to stay out here for the last 4 yrs. Booked this little space on a whim and I’m so happy I found it. Host is so kind and helpful. The cottage is very clean and cute. Very clear instructions and absolutely breathtaking view to the lake once you get walk down to the path. Thank you.

Host very responsive. House was clean and as described in listing. Would stay again!

Very nice. The sound of rain was quite peaceful.The water space was very relaxing.

We had a very relaxing time and enjoyed our stay

Property was well located clean and unique The only small negative was listed as being air conditioned only primary bedroom has air conditioning. The view of lake from the dock was outstanding

We had a great stay at the cabin near the lake. Andy was extremely responsive and flexible with questions and adjusting our reservation. We stayed at the property during a heat wave, but there were plenty of fans and the bedroom had an AC unit. Everything was as pictured. Morning stroll to the lake felt like a movie… bunnies, chipmunks, ducklings all made appearances. The property makes you feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle but is a short drive or walk to the village.

While our weather was unexpectedly chilly, our time away in the cabin was wonderful. We were supplied adequately with heat and with every possible device and appliance. We had a woodsy, charming and short walk to the lake which our Italian Greyhound especially enjoyed. The bed, the bedding, the towels, the dishes, the cooking utensils were good quality and more than adequate. And the availability of firepit and wood was an extra treat. Just being near the beautiful Village of Skaneateles was especially noteworthy. But, if your hope is to fish, bring or rent a boat or kayaks.
