Lovely getaway

The place was great, roomy for just the two of us and our dog. I loved taking the short walk down to the lakeshore each morning and especially at night to see all the stars. Hosts were more than accommodating and friendly. We'll definitely stay here again!

A suggestion

since the property owner recommends that guests use bottled water for drinking, a couple of bottles to get a new guest started would be appreciated. also some detail on what is in the house before we have to ask. beautiful and clean property. we were not there to take advantage of all the amenities because we were having a family reunion off site but we would visit again.

Ideal Location

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the cottage. Very serene setting, yet so close to the village, which is a 25 minute walk away. Wonderful sunsets from the dock. Thanks to Andy!

Beautiful area and wonderful cabin

Our cabin was in a very private area with access to the lake. That is exactly what we we were looking for—privacy, quiet, and a peaceful natural area with birds and our special rabbit whom we saw frequently. We loved the dock area and spent a lot of time there just looking at the lake. We took our boards and kayak out every day to explore the beautiful, clean waters of the lake. It was a wonderful experience. The cabin was comfortable and clean, with all necessities provided. I appreciated the coffee-table book about the Finger Lakes, which made me think about the history of the region and its progressive communities. The back porch and campfire area were also comfy, and we used them a lot. I hope that cabins like ours continue to be offered to Skaneateles visitors, and that the neighborhood does not become increasingly posh and exclusive.
