House was clean and cute with beautiful views of the lake. The only 2 things I’d say were less than idea were the “living” areas upstairs and downstairs were a bit small for the girls to all sit but if the weather was nicer we probably could have hung out on the closed in porch which was beautiful. Also the dirt/rock road was tricky especially if another car was coming and it was a bit scary to drive at night. Overall we had an amazing time, I am guessing the place is even more beautiful in the warmer weather! (There was a hot tub on premise but we couldn’t use it, that would have made it spectacular)

It was a little confusing finding the correct cottage and after the rains it was a little nerve wracking but once we found it, it was a slice of paradise. The owners were very helpful for any little hiccup. Lindsay was so helpful in making sure we had a kayak at our disposal.

We had a great time visiting Skaneateles for the first time. Mike and Lindsey were very welcoming, responsive, and overall great hosts. Their property has stunning views and is great for both adults and children. What a special place - we'll be back! Thank you!

Our family of six truly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property. It was exactly as pictured and the hosts could not have been sweeter! Our kids played together and swam all day long in the crystal clear lake. We hope to return next summer! Thanks for a wonderful Labor Day weekend!!

Perfect location for a summer camp experience on Skaneateles Lake. We rented a boat and kept it on the mooring for easy access. Mike and Lindsey were great and our kids enjoyed playing together. The house itself was comfortable for a family of 5 and had the amenities we expected. Evening walks up the farm road were pleasant and the property was beautiful. We plan to return next summer!

If the Grandchildren were napping it might be one of the quietest places that I have vacationed:) That being said the Quigley Family were nice people and their rental is spot on in the description, the location was great for us with the proximity to Carpenter Falls and lake access(docked my boat there) and if you take your boat keep your trailer on site...somewhere! When I first arrived the young lady told me I could leave my truck and trailer in the lot of the boat launch which I did figuring that would work great due to the other vehicles and the road leading to house being a little challenging for an old guy with a trailer. So when I had my daughter drop me off to pick up the boat and when we arrived no truck or trailer to be found. You can't imagine what that felt like and the trouble we went through to find them. In a nutshell, it was towed to Auburn and the tow person would only take cash 800 and change , we scrambled to find an ATM and all we could get was 529.00 between us. So the Serenity was washed away in 3hrs time:( So the accommodations were great with different decks to escape to if you needed to, weather could have been better but thats the way it worked out. Funny no ticket or contact before it was towed the day before we were to leave.......maybe instead of working in a factory for 32 yrs I should have pursued a career in the tow business,sure would have retired a lot earlier!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Freedom Cottage. We were in town for the funeral of my mother-in-law, it was really nice to be by the water in a peaceful environment for reflection and to spend time with family. Overall, the property was great, there was plenty of space for our group and the beds were very comfy. The cottage was nice and clean, and the views of the lake were beautiful. We had a little trouble at check in, but Michael was very responsive, and solved the issue quickly. Compared to other rentals we have stayed in we felt it could have been a little better equipped. Extra trash bags, shampoo, soap etc would have been a bonus. Also we did get quite a few splinters from the deck when walking around with no shoes after swimming, so would recommend wearing shoes. It was great being able to jump into the water right from the dock, my elder son loved it, but it was a little tricky for my under son to navigate who isn't a strong swimmer yet. We worked around it, but something to be aware off if you have younger children. Also the drive down to the cottage is via a long dirt track, we had a truck and 4x4 so it wasn't an issue but beware of that if you have a smaller vehicle. Overall great stay, thank you!!
