Fully equipped kitchen, enough sitting for our group of 13. There were only 6 Adirondack chairs by the fire pit with tables, but we brought more chairs. We have a fire every night, wood provided. Pet-friendly, fenced in yard. The 2 kitchens came in handy for all our food/beverage storage.

We are a group of women who have traveled together for 27 years. We have rented many homes during this time and this was one of the best!! The house was beautifully furnished, very clean and comfortable for our group of 10. The house is well maintained, inside and out. We enjoyed the yard, fire pot and patio. The communication's with Debbie was outstanding. She sent us detailed information before we arrived and responded immediately to any questions we had after we arrived. We highly recommend this beautiful home.

We had a wonderful say at this home for a family reunion with three families and our adult kids. The six bedrooms and 41/2 baths gave everyone plenty of space, and the layout made it very comfortable for a larger group. The kitchen and bathrooms were all in excellent condition, with high-quality appliances and a well-stocked kitchen that had all cookware we needed. The beds were very comfortable , and towels provided were great quality as well. The only thing we would have wished for is complimentary shampoo and conditioner, which would be especially convenient for quests flying in from out of state. Other than that, we would happily stay here again.

Perfect home for our group of ten!

Plenty of bedrooms, beds and bathrooms. Downstairs/walk-out set-up is very nice. (Note: A small set of dishes would have been nice to have downstairs.) Main kitchen had everything necessary for meals. Home was very clean. Location was pretty and secluded, yet very close to town.

Mom is 90!

We were gathering from MN and FL with our families to celebrate our Mom’s birthday. Having a large residence with three living space floors worked out so well. Mom and two other siblings came for a few hours during the days. A nine month old baby meeting her great grandmother was priceless. We were able to grill out and the kitchen(s) had everything we needed. The bedrooms were large and en suite bathrooms as well. Everyone was very comfortable in the variety of living spaces. It was Memorial weekend and a bit rainy but not a total wash out. The house provided more than ample space for dining, playing games and we even snuck in a fire pit night. The location was ideal being just a little bit out of town and very convenient to restaurants and shops. My brother in law wondered in all the years coming to my parents on the east side of Syracuse why he was never taken to Skaneateles. Our kids managed to fit in some hiking, a trip to Seneca Falls (women’s rights) and we all visited the local winery. Everyone agreed the birthday get together was very special and would definitely return to the house again. Debbi was so great to work with. As we all had different flights, check in and check out was very convenient for us. Many thanks!

This house is everything it says it is and more! Beautiful, spacious, and a great back yard for grilling, having a fire pit, and spending time together. Debbie was a great host, as our family and friends in our bridal party spent the weekend with us in this house. Skaneateles lake is just a few short minutes away.

Comfort and convenience plus more!

Our family of 10 has been renting homes in Skaneateles for four years. Evan’s Lodge was the favorite. Well designed and well appointed modern home with a comfortable feel inside and out. And only a 5 minute drive to the lake for swimming at the public swimming dock entrance and nearby restaurants and shopping.

Wonderful............................

Our trip to Skaneateles was for our son's wedding at a gorgeous wedding venue there. The lodge was perfect for us and extended family. Plenty of inside and outside space at the home. Very private and quiet location. Town of Skaneateles was absolutely lovely, quaint, quiet, great shops and sight seeing. Lake was absolutely gorgeous. Wonderful memories were made and we can't wait to come back:)

Awesome Experience

The property was lovely- secluded and spacious, with lots of land. The house is located on the grounds of a non-functioning motel, so it is a bit tricky to find, but it is truly a hidden gem. The home is very large and spacious with multiple levels so it could easily accommodate more than one family

A Lovely Home For A Very Special Family Get-Together

This is a lovely home that accommodated our family of ten. We appreciate the management team, Debbie and Rick, who were on hand immediately to answer questions or help solve problems. They genuinely made us feel welcomed. The Evans Lodge gave us a chance for a very special get together, which was long overdue.
