Beautiful lakefront home!

We had a wonderful stay at this home. The house is beautiful and perfect for an extended family gathering. The kitchen has everything you might need if you plan to cook while you are there. It's clean, very well maintained and in the perfect location to enjoy beautiful views of the lake from inside the home, on the back deck or down on the dock. Would highly recommend and will certainly return!

Beautiful spot!

We had a delightful stay at this property. We visited in the winter, which was cozy with the fireplace, and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. It would be wonderful in the summer as well with the access to the water! Great place. Plenty of room, contemporary decor and finishes, good sized bedrooms, quite cozy.

Fantastic week!

My family of 8 had a wonderful week here. The house was spotless, very roomy and very well supplied. The view was fantastic from the deck and the dock was perfect for swimming and accessing the boat which we rented and put on their mooring. We will definitely be coming again.

Beautiful house & view!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was very nice and the view of the lake was beautiful. The stairs going down to the water were very well maintained and not too steep. The dock layout was perfect for fishing and swimming. We were able to moor our boat all week, and it worked very well. The owners were extremely attentive and kindly answered all of our questions. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Celebrating’70’ trip

Our group of friends (7 of us) had a wonderful stay in Skaneateles to celebrate our 70th birthdays. The house was the perfect size and offered plenty of space to gather. Good thing because the weather wasn’t the best so we spent a lot of time enjoying the view, the comfortable space and the well-equipped kitchen. It is equal to or nicer than the pictures show. We hope to go back!

A gem on Skaneateles Lake

We had a wonderful stay at Anna's lake house! The house was beautiful, well furnished and stocked well for cooking meals, including a brand new grill. With young children in our group, we appreciated the safety gates on the back deck and the stairs down to the lake. And the waterfront was perfect! We enjoyed hanging out on the deck area, jumping off the dock and having a shallow area for the kids to wade in. We brought a boat that we attached to the mooring in front of the dock, and Anna was very responsive to our questions about local boat launches. Thank you, Anna, for an amazing trip! We would love to come back some time!

Wonderful house, great location

We had a great time staying at this beautiful home on Skaneatles Lake. It was nicely decorated, clean and fresh and looked like it was just remodeled. The host was very responsive to our questions and it is clear that she really cares about her guests. There were 9 of us, including 3 young children, so the fenced in back yard and baby gates at the top of the stairs, both inside and out, made us feel comfortable near the water. We did have a couple of issues. 1) Maybe because we were such a big group, there didn't seem to be enough warm water for everyone to have a warm shower, 2) The bunk beds were a bit wobbly and our grandson (age 7) was afraid to sleep on the top bunk. 3.) The grill doesn't seem to be working properly and even though the propane tank seemed full, the grill never heated up adequately for grilling. I'm pretty confident that my husband and son-in-law are familiar with grills so I don't think it was because of user error. Other than those minor issues, we enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to come back. We appreciated such a nice home being in the VRBO pool of homes and made sure to treat it like it was ours.
