It was exactly what I needed. I traveled solo and needed a reset. Felt safe so close to Skan to enjoy the lake as well!

This place was a nice getaway from a busy trip. Very well setup for a great get away. We didn’t need for anything. Has a pleasant stay and all are needs were met. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in the Syracuse area.
5 / 10·Jun 2022
Has an incredible view, which was so neat to wake up to each morning, and the sunsets are a light show in and of themselves, different every night! We loved the different areas/options outside for hanging out, fire pit, deck, hammocks, and of course our favorite, the hot tub/jacuzzi. Landscaping well manicured, lots of yard for the dogs to stretch their legs, and we even had some visitors one morning, a doe and her baby! Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots & pans, utensils, etc. They even have 2 large wire crates and food & water dishes for the dogs!!! Flexible space for multiple couples, families, etc., plenty of room to spread out. Great game room on first floor! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!!
