Returned to Skaneateles Lake 50 years after creating impossible to duplicate little kid memories. What a happy surprise and magical vacation! Our welcoming and down to earth hosts were lovely, informative and kind. Their well appointed cozy cabin is tucked steps from beautiful Skaneateles Lake. Kayaks await and mooring - we rented a pontoon boat to explore the spectacular lake - what fun! The village shops, restaurants and tour options are just right. All joy! We will be back!

Once again we had the perfect 2 weeks at the adorable cottage on the lake. There is a new dock that is absolutely world class and large enough to comfortably host a group of friends enjoying the sunset. As always our hosts were welcoming and there to help, but never ever intrusive. A very special place on one of the worlds most beautiful lakes!

This was our second year visiting this perfect cabin in the woods. We loved the upgrades that were done. Great spot to relax and enjoy the Lake and close enough to town for a short trip in to enjoy the sights. Love this cottage and we plan on visiting again next year!!

We had a rainy but wonderful week! Ken and Barbara are incredibly nice and helpful. The lake is breathtaking and our 3 boys enjoyed jumping off the dock, swimming and using the kayaks. It was very nice to be nestled in the woods, but still with a lot of amenities. We would highly recommend, especially for families!

We enjoyed our week at the Pinewood property located midway on beautiful Skaneateles Lake. Barbara and Ken were great hosts. As others have noted they are not intrusive but around if you need anything. The house is as described clean, neat, comfortable and pretty well stocked. It was a very humid week so the house got a little stuffy even with open windows and the fans on, however we spent the days out on the lake or visiting tourist spots. We slept comfortably at night. Also, as noted, the paths to the house and down to the water are a little steep and could be difficult to manage for less-abled or older visitors. Overall our stay was very pleasant and relaxing. Thank you!
