Lovely!

We had a wonderful week at this home. The house was beautiful, clean, well stocked and well designed for comfort. The waterfront/lake was beautiful —crystal clear water with no weeds. Two kayaks come with the house. It’s about 25 minutes to the picturesque town of Skaneateles and many other great attractions. What a lovely experience.

Summer getaway

We had a wonderful stay. The property met all of expectations, we weren’t ever needing anything more than what was provided. The use of the boat slip was fantastic and being level with the lake was so enjoyable. We will definitely be considering staying again!

Family vacation

I was tentative about being so south on the lake, but I found this property to be perfect. The water was completely clear and it didn't take as long as I thought it would to get to the village of Skaneateles. Ben was fabulous from the time I booked, a year ago, until we left. The WiFi went down while we were there, and he called to have it taken care of as soon as I contacted him. Ben checked in multiple times during the week to be sure all was well. The property has a great deck (that is right along the water) with four Adirondack chairs which was great for early morning tea and late day/early evening reading. The location was quiet. I liked how the Master and another good size bedroom were on opposite sides of the house, so everyone had their privacy. There were 3 bathrooms, with showers, and a washer and dryer. My only caveat would be to be prepared for stairs. I had asked my mother (80 year old) to go and I'm glad she declined. There are many stairs which was fine for us, but not for someone who this may be an issue for. We had a great time and would recommend this property to others.

Beautiful view and great lake house!

Great property and very attentive host! Host was very responsive and helpful. View was amazing! Perfect boat dock too. A few small issues but host responded in a timely manner. Property is far from town on the southern most portion of lake, which is very quiet. Skaneateles lake is one of the best lakes in the U.S. in my humble opinion (although it's quite chilly - 62 to 68 degrees for us). Overall a great experience!

Wonderful Skaneateles Lakehouse

Our family very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful lakehouse. It met or exceeded all of our expectations. We highly recommend it to anyone planning a relaxing stay on the jewel of the Finger Lakes. Ben, the owner was extremely accommodating and responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Ben Giamichael

I am a life long resident of Central NY and I have been fortunate enough to raise my family here as well. We are blessed to live in such a wonderful area! I went to school in Fairfield, CT for Psychology, but ultimately decided to move back to Upstate New York and couldn't have made a better decision.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I purchased this property because it is in the heart of the finger lakes, on one of the cleanest lakes in the country. Close to the picturesque town of Skaneateles for shopping and dining, it is an all around wonderful experience whether you are out and about, or simply relaxing lakeside.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique compared to many others on the lake, simply because it is located on flat lake frontage with a large grass area and deck to enjoy your time on. Enjoy your morning coffee sitting outside on the deck, or on the 2nd floor landing that makes you feel as if you are on a boat due to the large windows. The 3 full bathrooms are updated and clean and house includes an eat in kitchen as well as a dining room table enough for your whole family to enjoy meals on. House includes washer/dryer, dishwasher and fully working kitchen.House comes with a slip to keep your boat safe in throughout your stay. If you do not have a boat, no worries, there is a rental company on the lake for you rent one for the week. Includes all amenities that will make your stay comfortable and enjoyable.
