We enjoyed our stay. The home was adorable, clean and close to town. The only challenge for us, which was a big one was that the bathroom was located inside the bedroom that our teenager was sleeping in. So at 2am, we had to creek open the door and wake him up to go to the bathroom. If this had been advertised I would not have booked the property.
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The property manager was very easy to communicate with. We enjoyed that there is a lovely hiking path nearby with a brewery at the end as a bit of a reward. The home had all the things that were needed for a comfortable stay. It is also a pet friendly home which resulted in our dog enjoying the trip.
The whole area is so sweet. Calm neighborhood. Cute house that has character! Isn’t overly modernized, but updated! Very close to shops and restaurants. Enjoyed having breakfast on the porch! My one super small critique (and easily changed if they want to) was that I wish the front door had a sheer curtain on it since it’s mostly glass. Really enjoyed my stay!
This was the perfect little house for my friend and I who were in town for a wedding. It was close to downtown Skaneateles and the nature trail scenery.
We loved staying at this home! It was a perfect size for our family and our visit to the lovely town of Skaneateles. We loved the claw tub in the bathroom and convenience of everything on one floor. The porch was adorable, a perfect place for a morning cup of coffee. My mom loved the vintage book collection, and even saw a few her grandmother had owned! We're just sorry we didn't have time to read them all.
Lovely house, close to the village. The yard is huge and beautiful. Jordan Ave is a main thoroughfare and it has lots of traffic during the day. But it didn't keep us from sitting on the poch
The VRBO was comfortable, well appointed and above all, air conditioned as we arrived at the start of some very hot weather. Location convenient to town and easy ride to the thruway. Just a suggestion to mention AC in the rental info. Many thanks, Lindsay for a pleasant visit.

Some good some bad.
Inside of the property was very clean and well kept. Not so the exterior and grounds. Run down neighbors dilapidated house makes this an undesirable location.
Had a great stay in Skaneateles for our daughter’s baby shower. This home was the the perfect place for us to stay. Close to all of the village’s amenities.
Pictures of the home are exactly as shown. Lovely home with historical charm! Highly recommend!
We stayed for a long weekend during Dickens in Skaneateles. Was a cozy, cute home. Just over a mile drive into town. Had to reach out to the owner for a small problem and she responded almost immediately. We really enjoyed our stay at this house and would definitely stay again.
This house was very clean and well stocked with everything from towels to laundry detergent. It is a 4 minute drive to Skaneateles and the Lake. The grounds were well kept and plenty of space to walk our dog. There is a veterinarian right down the road and a medical clinic minutes away. It is a great location to make day trips to see the other lakes. The only issue for us was the house is only 50 feet off one of the main roads into town. Lots of trucks, motorcycles and autos during the day, but from 11pm to 6am, virtually no traffic. Given the location, house amenities, pet allowance, and everything except the laundry on one floor, it was an enjoyable stay for us.
