Beautiful property with gorgeous views

We enjoyed our stay here so much! Property owners are very nice and welcoming! Many little extras were provided and very much appreciated! Amazing views and very clean inside and out . Well manicured landscaping and flowers were just beautiful! Very relaxing and quiet place to spend a few days. Close proximity to walking trails in beautiful Emerson Park, and close to Skaneateles Lake and all its shops, boat ride, and eateries. Highly recommend this great rental! Thank you Bob and Elaine!
