About this cottage rental
Located on Spafford Landing (also known as Wickwire Point), our Waterfall Cottage overlooks a beautiful and private waterfall. The pristine waters of Skaneateles Lake are just 100 yards down the driveway, with great swimming, fishing and boating.
Our beach has unobstructed and dramatic views of the lake, and from our location on the east side of the lake, we enjoy spectacular sunsets, often around a bonfire.
Our 45-acre property abuts a 300-acre nature preserve with great hiking trails.
Cottage has 1 bedroom with double bed. Sleeping loft has three twin beds. The loft is great for children aged 5 and up (steep ladder might be a challenge for younger kids). 1 bathroom with shower. Wood stove (firewood included) and electric heaters for cool evenings. No TV, but WiFi is included.
Lakefront has level beach. We have a canoe and kayak (with paddles and life jackets). Sturdy rowboat with 6HP outboard (gas included) available for additional fee of $100. Mooring available if you have a boat.
The kitchen has everything but a dishwasher -- full size fridge, electric stove/oven, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker. Even a Cuisenart. Plenty of pots/pans/dishes, etc.
Dining table seats 4 comfortably, or 6 in a pinch. We also have an outside table/chairs for dinners al fresco. Propane grill on site (gas included).
We're a nice canoe/kayak ride from "Staghorn Point", where kids can find a Skaneateles treasure: staghorns -- actually, horn coral from when the area was under the ocean. Should you want to leave the lake, there are wineries, museums and other attractions in the area.
Our family summered in the Waterfall Cottage while our children were growing up, and we have wonderful memories. After we built a year-round house on the beach, we started renting out the Waterfall cottage. Most of our guests have stayed with us every summer for several years.

This place has it all. A waterfall right out the front door. A grassy beach with shade trees and crystal clear water. A great area to kayak in. Beautiful flower gardens for evening walks. The host couple was extraordinary! We felt like family friends.It was a heavenly vacation!

The property we stayed at was very nice and clean. It everything we needed and then some. We even had access to a fresh herb garden! The waterfall sounded like rain and the background noise was very soothing to sleep. The beach's water was very clean. Our communication and interactions with the owner could not be beat. He helped us every step along the way with accommodating items we needed, helping us and answering our questions. I wholeheartedly recommend this rental to anyone else looking for a nice nature getaway with all the amenities.

John and Robin are wonderful hosts. A bit disappointed that the cottage wasn’t on the lake but the waterfall in the backyard was manically! A lovely spot for rest and relaxation.
