    Very clean. Modern. Nicely decorated. Easy to get downtown. Only suggestion is to put a chair in the front bedroom & middle bedroom as the beds are “high” for sitting—especially if guests are on the shorter side. Bedroom with twin beds needs a power cord to plug things into for charging. Would definitely recommend & stay here again.

    This house and host were absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend it enough. Just close enough to town to not be a nuisance and far enough to not deal with the tourist rush! The upgrades to the home were well done! Do not miss out!

    This home was perfect for our stay in Skaneateles. It was nicely decorated, kitchen had everything you’d need, it was all very clean and had comfortable bedding. Great communication with owner. Busy road, but it was a very central location for the family wedding we attended.
