Private, Cottage with Skaneateles Lake access, one mile from village center

The one bedroom cottage was a comfortable stay for us. The size was good for us and it was very clean. Just about everything needed was available. The location was very convenient for the places we wanted to visit. It was surprising private considering it was really located in a neighborhood. We stayed in the fall so we didn't take advantage of the waterfront for swimming/boating. The small porch was nice. Communication was great, it was easy to get into the cottage. It is an older building with a cottage feel.

Close to downtown, nice rustic feel. Very safe area. Loved the local restaurants and breweries.

The perfect weekend getaway with our doggie! So quiet and the dock lake access was gorgeous! We want to stay longer next time!

I’m giving this review to help people planning to stay here to be prepared for a few “gliches” in this property. First of all, if you’ve never been to this area, you will find the turn off to the property difficult to find. As described, it looks like a driveway, but is actually a gravel road leading down to the cabin. We passed it 3 times before being sure where to turn. Google maps gave us a different turn! The photos are accurate, but the term, “rustic” definitely applies. We were here in early fall, so needed AC as well as heat. One small AC window unit in bedroom, and a floor fan for cooling. The heating unit in the living room came on by itself and runs extremely loud. Again, just be aware.The biggest issues we had were having a kitchen with absolutely no condiments like basic salt and pepper, and the bathroom floor that is sunken in front of the toilet, and no soap or bathroom products. As I reread the description of the property, it does say no “disposables “. I guess we just didn’t understand that this meant you as the guest provide everything! Guess we were spoiled by the last place we stayed that had everything you could possibly need or want!If you want privacy, it’ll be good for you. There is a short walk down to the lake, which gives a nice view. And it does have a small rustic pier as pictured. We met the owners on our last day, and they were extremely nice. We didn’t bring up any issues with them since we were leaving the next morning.
