About this house rental

Soothe your soul with the magic of "Sweet Dreams". A walk along the stone steps, surrounded by lush landscaping will lead you to the expansive lakefront decking.

Endless views of the pristine water of Skaneateles Lake affords you the perfect place to chill & relax, or inspire you to jump into the clean water for a swim, paddle or sail in the lake.

The home's revitalized interior has a genuine luxurious lake feel. "Sweet Dreams" offers an open floor plan with new furnishings, fully stocked kitchen including indoor & outdoor dinnerware, with a stately stone fireplace for enhanced ambiance.

Wake up to peaceful lake views in this spacious retreat designed for relaxation and connection. The first-floor bedroom features a king-sized bed and French doors opening directly to the water, creating the perfect spot to start your day with coffee and calm.

Upstairs you’ll find three interior designed bedrooms with queen-sized beds, plus a cozy room with a full-sized bed. (Note: this room is a walkway to the other bedrooms, so it’s not completely private.)

For extra flexibility, there’s a full-sized mattress in the boathouse and a pullout futon in the downstairs living area—ideal for larger groups or family gatherings.

(A different set of stairs leads to private bedroom which is reserved for owner’s use and will remain locked and is not for guest use.)

Whether you’re planning a lakeside family vacation, a couples’ getaway, or a friends’ weekend, this home offers comfort, versatility, and a beautiful waterfront setting.

New multi-zone air conditioning, venting & heating system is in place, as well as all new windows & doors with no see screens for the days when you prefer the sweet lake fresh air.

Please note that there are many stairs down to the lake and this is not wheelchair accessible. There are no child gates on the property. There are 2 documents that are required to be signed prior to booking. Since VRBO is not set up to attach here, we will email the rental agreement & the liability waiver to you upon booking request.

Loving Skaneateles & the views are what drew us to this property. Caring for and enjoying the creation of the home's interior, its exterior 1500 sq ft.deck & landscaping is our labor of love & pride.

Skaneateles is the best-kept secret for a true village with unique shops, and an abundance of excellent restaurants with an updated, yet historic feel.

Skaneateles Lake is triple A-rated and offers the rare treat of swimming in clean cool water.

Check in went smoothly. We were discouraged from using the washer due to septic but the owner made an exception for us. Surprisingly, the master bedroom was off limits. I don't believe that was mentioned in the ad and although I've used VRBO many times, I've never experienced that. The owner was however quite responsive to any and all inquiries we made and got back to us promptly.

This property is exactly like the pictures as shown, an amazing spot and a very well appointed home. The lake was amazing and Susie patiently answered all of our questions along the way with great local knowledge and tips. Would highly recommend!
