I absolutely love the train! I've come here with friends twice because it has everything you need for a summer hang. We swim all day in the crystal clear lake, grill and enjoy a movie/game at night. No need to go anywhere else.One minor complaint is that the check in/out times aren't very generous at 5pm checkin and 9am checkout. I would ask the host to consider using the standard hotel hours of 3pm and 9am so guests can get as much lake time as possible. Just a thought!

Ian was quick to respond, and the train car was so unique! We loved kayaking on the included kayaks , and swimming in the lake. A slice of paradise!

Wonderful time at Skaneateles lake.Had fun relaxing & fishing from the dock. We watched the Eagle catch a fish that was cool!

Beautiful, quiet location on the lake. But the railcar was poorly maintained and way too expensive.
