Finger Lakes ~ Firepit, Pet Friendly, Wine Country

This place was literally crawling with ants, bugs and wasps. I reached out to the owner the first morning after killing ants constantly all over the kitchen and was told that's normal for staying in nature. The house hadn't been cleaned properly and had dust, spider webs, dog hair on the bed and trash still in the trashcans that hadn't been cleaned up. There were no paper towels, Kleenex or kitchen towels to even clean anything. Seating at both the dining table and living room wasn't enough for the amount of guests allowed to stay either. Overall, the house was a decent size with good beds and sleeping arrangements for a large group but it felt dirty and unkept.

Love how close it was in proximity to the downtown. Having multiple community rooms throughout the house was great with all the different ages that went on vacation with us. Made the space seem even larger.

Kitchen was very well equipped. A few of the cooking pots are getting old, but that was a minor point.Bedrooms were very comfortable and bathrooms were great. the rec room and garage level game room were very much appreciated.

Lots of space for a large family. Like the three levels with the garage space

Wonderful and spacious home

On the website this probably looks amazing when you get there you see that the art of photography creates illusion. Toilets were covered in sanitized tape yet fecal matter stains were present. Dead buns in the light fixture of the showers, hair on the sheets, cobwebs everywhere! Definitely disappointed, especially considering it was 850 for the night and I wasn't even there for 11 hours.

It's a very comfortable house. We had adequate facilities for our large group. It's conveniently located to town and all the other facilities the Finger Lakes has to offer. It helped that we had beautiful weather but it was a great choice to stay.

The home was very nice, spacious, and included a fun game room. We did provide feedback to the owner regarding some concerns, including the temperature of the house and kitchen appliances not working to their best ability, which i believe will be addressed quickly. Overall, I would return again with my friends!

We rented the house for a relaxing bachelorette weekend and it was absolutely perfect. The house was well stocked and located a short distance from downtown Skan. Would definitely rebook in the future!

Nice secluded spot outside of town. Private back yard with a fire pit.

House was very clean, wonderful amenities and very responsive host!

Great house and location a few miles from Skaneateles. Amenities and games were a plus. Enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed.

Enjoyed the stay!

This was the perfect location for our wedding weekend!!

Very enjoyable. Met all our needs

This home was exactly as pictured, and the host was absolutely fantastic. I took a girls trip with five of my friends, and we chose this property after looking at many others. It was definitely the right choice for us. The home was extremely clean and comfortable and had every amenity that we could have wished for.. Our host was absolutely fantastic and communicated with us on a regular basis before our stay. There was nothing he did not provide for us, including his time and attention. I would highly recommend this property and this host as well.

It was an amazing stay

This newly renovated home is clean, light, open and inviting with several places to gather for socializing, a fun game room on the lower level and an inviting firepit surrounded by numerous chairs. We enjoyed s’mores one evening and relaxed mornings in the main living area. We lucked out on the weather and never spent time in the mid level TV room but it provided a work space for one of our group. Great place near the lovely village of Skaneateles, across from beautiful Skaneateles Lake. It’s not lakefront but we were relatives with lakefront property so it was perfect for us.

After we had booked the place, we saw a review about the bug infestation and uncleanliness of the property. We reached out to the host, concerned since we were traveling with kids, and he assured us that the place is deep cleaned. Unfortunately, we found that was not the case. We found towels with pus and hair on them, the carpet had crumbs, and four dead hornets in the bedroom. Our first night there, one of the rooms had a big hornet flying around and the house had several wasps. We couldn't sleep in that room for fear of being stung. Our weekend stay there, we were without one room and sleeping in difficult conditions. We notified the host about a possible wasp nest or opening near that room. The host was generally quick to respond, he tried to get a bug exterminator for the wasps but couldn't because it was memorial weekend, and he also allowed us a couple hours late check out, which was nice. However, when we communicated about the uncleanliness and the difficulties we faced and requested a partial refund for the dirtiness and the room we couldn't use, communication was ceased and we didn't hear back. Otherwise, the house is located in a pretty neighborhood in the Finger Lakes area. Baby cot and air mattresses are available.
