Great rental with lovely location. It was a bit cool to partake in lake activities but just reading and relaxing by the lake were perfect. Our trip was all about taking our 13 year golden retriever on vacation and the cottage and grounds were perfect for him. Day trips to Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake were great as well, Skaneatles is, in our opinion, the prettiest town around that area.

My family loved Three Birds! It is a cute lakefront home not too far from town which has a grill, kayaks, paddle boards, a dock for a boat, and a very responsive host. We would stay again!

Adorable clean cottage with a million dollar view. Area was gorgeous too. Very satisfied and much fun. Provided boats/kayaks and floatables for Lake much to our delight. Skaneateles Lake is so gorgeous and so clean as noted for. Enjoyed swimming and snorkeling. Fire pit in the evening a must. Fireplace cozy. We appreciated greatly that we were able to bring our dogs. Looking forward to coming back next year with friends.

Wonderful Relaxing Getaway

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.
