About this house rental

Situated in Spafford, this attractive house for $435 per night is a great choice for your next break. Bring your pet to this beautiful lake house which sits DIRECTLY on Skaneateles Lake, one of the most crystal clear lakes in the United States. We work on the "honor" system and believe in trusting folks so we don't charge a pet fee. The home has large picture windows with a stunning view of the lake and the majestic cliffs on the eastern side. It is 4 bedrooms and 2 and 1/2 baths with a fully renovated kitchen, a screened-in porch, central heat and air, and a fireplace. It has a fully equipped office where you can work remotely, if needed. The home has an outdoor gas grill, fire pit, and screened-in porch for outside dining. There's ample pristine waterfront for swimming, kayaking and paddle-boarding directly from the shore of your home (two kayaks, paddle board, and canoe provided). If you want to bring a boat or rent one at the Skaneateles Marina, there's a slip and cleats to secure your boat. Enjoy a fire at night in the firepit on the lawn by the lake under a million stars. You can also tour one of the nearby wineries and have dinner in the picturesque village of Skaneateles. People from all over the world come just to visit the charming village of Skaneateles with its cute shops, gorgeous architecture, and wonderful restaurants. In autumn, the lake is "on fire" with the color from the gorgeous fall leaves. Bed situation: A set of twin beds on the second floor; a queen bedroom on the second floor; and a king bed in the master on the first floor. Then, you take an interior staircase down to the original part of the house where you'll find a set of twin beds. You can walk out directly onto the dock from here and there is a rocky beach to your left leading into the lake. At night, you can open the windows and hear the waves lapping the shoreline. Skaneateles is a very peaceful and beautiful place.

2 families spent our Thanksgiving weekend sharing good food, good times and making great memories. There was plenty of room for everyone to be together and still have space . The beds were incredibly comfortable. The views were gorgeous. The kitchen was well stocked. The great room was perfect. Peaceful and quiet yet close enough to go to the Dickens Festival. Pure bliss! The hosts were great communicators before and during our stay. Very responsive! Very accommodating! Very nice people. The house was decorated with endless cool items that always deserved a second look. Very clean.

Lovely home, all amenities you can think off. Kitchen and bathroom well stocked. Great communication with host Amy about checking in. Enjoyed the kayaks, nice quality life jackets and water shoes. Plenty of hiking nearby with our dog. We ventured into Homer a 25 min ride and loved this quaint little village. Bev and Co best ladies boutique. Went on an unexpected shopping spree. The Exchange, a new fine dining restaurant had delicious food was another unexpected surprise for this small town. Amy’s place in a great location. Close enough to bustling little towns but in a peaceful lakeside setting.

The location and home itself are beautiful! The decorating is upscale and comfortable, but not stodgy. The view is spectacular! The main level is up one level from the water, so it looks like you are on a boat all the time. The architecture is spectacular, and we wondered repeatedly how they were able to build it since it was built on and descending a cliff. That does mean there are lots of stairs. We spent a lot of time on the little piece of lawn at lake level. It is so serene and beautiful. The kitchen is well-equipped, as is the rest of the place. The linens are plentiful and of good quality. The internet is robust enough to handle devices at once. The bed selection was perfect for our group: a king suite, a large queen bedroom, and a room with 2 twins. The mattresses (as of October 2023) were extremely comfortable. We loved the place and are planning on returning next year. For drawbacks that may affect some potential renters: If anyone in your group has difficulty with going up and down stairs, this is not the place for you. But for us, it was perfect! Another potential issue for renters is that the road down to the house is steep, narrow, and - in one direction- contains a hairpin turn. Thus, if you have a vehicle that is very low to the ground or is oversized (like a Suburban) you are going to have to be very careful. We had Subarus and had no difficulty.

Our 6 night stay was absolutely fantastic. The house was so beautiful, right on lake Skaneateles. The kids used the kayaks and played by the water. It was a bit cold, so no swimming on this trip. The house was so clean and well stocked with all essentials in the kitchen and bathrooms. Check in was easy and the communication with the home owner was warm and inviting . We hope to come back soon.

We enjoyed an exceptional stay! Amy was a wonderful host. It was as if every need we had was anticipated. Her home was so well stocked with anything we could think of needing on vacation. We enjoyed kayaking, playing ping pong, eating all of our meals on the screened in porch overlooking the lake and hanging out in the living room. Thank you for creating such a peaceful and rejuvenating environment.

We could not have been happier staying at this lovely house with such a gorgeous view of the lake. The house was immaculate and contained everything we needed for a week long stay. Never heard any neighbors. We used the information booklet to plan many enjoyable walks with our dogs and to try some of the restaurants in town. All were wonderful. Took a tour of the William Seward house and really enjoyed it. Anyela’s vineyard was lovely and close by. There’s a HABA toys outlet in Skaneateles where we found great gifts for the grandkids. Amy is a gem and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. We have stayed at many rentals and this one by far had the most extras provided. Used the kayaks one afternoon and enjoyed seeing other houses on the lake. Also did the Judge Ben Wiles tour and recommend it. We love to travel with our dogs and really appreciated being able to bring them. Thanks Amy, from two very happy travelers!

This property is really great. Just as described but better! Probably one of the best we have stayed in and we visit the area frequently. Extremely clean, well stocked (and we like to cook!), and in a beautiful location. Close to Syracuse for anyone who has a kid in college and close to the beautiful village of Skaneateles. The host was very accommodating and always in communication. Highly recommend!
