It was the perfect spot for our October family gathering. Unfortunately, the lake was on the dry side so those who kayak were a bit disappointed. No fault of the host. The rooms were spacious and spotless. Highly recommend!

“Meet me at the Lake” was a great place for my 2 adult children, my husband, mother-in-law, & me to share some “family fun time.” The huge back deck which is partially covered gave us a place to hang out, talk, & eat together. We enjoyed the lawn games, kayaks, & fire pit. The view was nice & relaxing, especially in the early morning or at sunset.My only reason for 4 stars & not 5 is the tight bathrooms (although the master shower is quite big.) Also, the house A/C is not great. The weather only reached 80 on one day & the bedrooms were a little warm. (I’m pretty hot natured so take that into consideration.)The owner was great with communication, the check in/out process, recommendations for local favorites, & responded quickly to questions. We would definitely stay again, but would avoid summer. :)

We had a good time at this property. It was a good layout for our three couples, providing plenty of privacy for all. The deck area is where we lived for the week. The covered deck space was fantastic. The kitchen was well equipped and the dining room table was perfect for our family meals. We have stayed on Skaneateles and prefer that lake because the water is much more accessible for kayaking and fishing. The weeds on this section of the lake make it difficult (not impossible) for most water sport activities. The absence of water at the property's dock made launching and using our kayaks a bit of a slog. But if you simply want to enjoy water views and read a good book, this property is perfect for that.
