This property is perfect for a family getaway. It’s in a great location with a nice view of the lake and lake access and has everything there to make you feel at home. And Brian couldn’t have been more attentive and accommodating- we had a wonderful time and will be back!
Great cottage on the lake
This was a great place to spend a relaxing fall weekend with our daughter on her fall break from college. Very peaceful and a great location. Would love to visit when it is warmer to take full advantage of the lake!
Great place, relaxing time. Thanks for the hospitality!
What a wonderful stay for a week! Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need for cooking and grilling. Brian, the manager was very easy to communicate with. The property is very clean and great up keep. Bonfires every night overlooking the sunset. Great dock for fishing, tying up a boat, kayaks and the Waterfront furniture was excellent, cushions in storage bins for your use. Lot of yard toys and lifejackets for everyone. Will definitely stay again. Already looking forward to next Summer! 5 Stars all the way!
The Three Birds Cottage was amazing. From all of the amenities the owner provided to the dock and lake, it truly was perfect! Brian checked in every once in a while just to make sure everything was ok which was much appreciated. His communication was great before, during, and after. The provided bed linens and beach towels were such a great touch! The home was cozy, clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. We loved the large deck attached to the dock. There was ample seating and 3 patio umbrellas which we used daily! The sunsets were spectacular and the perfect weather we had was just the icing on the cake. I have a good feeling this won’t be our last visit!
Fantastic little place. The house was clean & communication was great. Definitely keeping it in mind for the future
This is a beautiful lakefront property with spectacular views. We get that the owner is concerned that his property be cared for by guests, but the list of chores is way too long and particular(clean all counters in kitchen and bathroom with Windex Multisurface Cleaner and Swiffer all the floors!?). Being texted the night before with a reminder while you are trying to enjoy the vacation space you paid for is irritating. Meanwhile, the host specifically does not provide any shampoo or other toiletries. The balance between consideration for guests and host is off, in my opinion. But it is a very nice place!
The cottage is lovely, the owner is so helpful and always available for questions. Beautiful Syracuse graduation weekend with family
Very welcoming and accommodating host! Cozy cabin with beautiful lake property and private access to the lake. Location is also less than 10 min drive from the picturesque town of Skaneateles. Would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful place at the lake, vacation on his best!
This was a very nice cottage, very clean and well decorated. We had a good time.
We’ll appointed property right on one of the cleanest lakes in the country. Our stay was in the fall, so we enjoyed the beautiful color change and the charming nearby town with plenty of restaurants and shops. Summertime would offer lots of activities on the lake. Also while there, took a day trip to Cooperstown, NY to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame. The host was most accommodating and made sure that we were happy with the property. We plan to return again someday for sure. Love Skaneateles!
We had a spectacular time at the cottage. It’s right on the lake with million dollar views. Everything was spotless and even nicer than the pictures convey. Close to Skaneateles and other Finger Lake towns.
After having a stressful past 2 years, this property was the perfect “escape”. As a prior lakeside property owner, we grew up on the lake. Returning to visit each summer brings back heartfelt, fun memories and this cottage can be added to them. Complete open communication and organized guidelines made our stay simple and listing is exactly as presented. Highly recommend.
My family and I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the cottage. It exceeded our expectations in every way! We can’t wait to come back!!! Thank you Brian !
The place was amazing, a little slice of heaven! Had everything we needed and we'll organized and detailed. Thanks for a great experience
My husband and I hosted 3 of our grandchildren at this lovely home to celebrate their college graduation. We enjoyed games on their large deck and in their dining area and relaxing in a couple areas by the pristine lake. Also had fun using the kayaks provided. It was only a 10 minute drive to shops and restaurants in town. The owner provided all the information we needed and was very accessible.
A great lakefront location with terrific views. Though the water was still too cold (in May) to go into the lake, we thoroughly enjoyed the serenity of the lake views with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee on the deck near the shore.
We were in town for my sons graduation from Syracuse University, and thought it would be nice to have some time in beautiful Skaneateles in between ceremonies and before moving out. It is such a beautiful town and there are fantastic restaurants as well. Brian made it very simple throughout the process from booking eight til the end. He was extremely responsive and made our stay hassle free. The cottage was cozy, beds comfy and it was very relaxing. We ate at The Krebs in town (fantastic), Joelle’s French Bistro (incredible) and the Skaneateles Bakery while in town. I’m very glad we decided to go this route for our special weekend. Thanks Brian! Warm regards, Joni and family
Really enjoyed our short stay in this cute little cottage right on the lake. Just what we wanted.
The cottage was very clean and well stocked to meet all of your vacation needs. Brian was a great host- great communication. Wonderful property on the lake. A short drive to town. Highly recommend this property for a vacation destination.
We were extremely happy with the property and location; the photos online were accurate descriptions of the rental property. The owner was available to us prior to, during and the morning of checkout. Could not have been more hospitable and we were very appreciative. I would certainly recommend this rental.
