About this property

Lakefront property close to town. Spectacular views and location.

Sliders open onto an expansive deck. Incredible views.'perfect weekend', 'idyllic', 'romantic',' serene', 'beautiful setting',' "2nd trip better then the first'. These are all comments taken directly from the guest book. Our cottage is located on a very quiet and private area on Skaneateles Lake yet close to town. Excellent trout and bass fishing from the lakefront. Enjoy a glass of Finger Lakes wine down on the waterfront deck or on the deck wrapping three sides of the cottage. Shale beach-easy access for children. Enjoy swimming and boating on one of the cleanest lakes in the world. Two queen bedrooms, sleeping loft w/2 twins and queen bed and queen sleeper. New shower in bathroom. Walkout basement with TV and ping pong. Seasonal fixed dock. 2 kayaks and canoe . Watch the hills across the lake light up as the sun sets. Great location on the Lake. 4 miles to Village, one mile to Winery or Marina.

Why they chose this property

We have been visiting the Finger Lakes for years, renting on several lakes and many cottages. We fell in love with the area and after looking at several homes and several Lakes we finally found the perfect one for us. We feel this region is one of the most beautiful in the Country.We think it is one of the nicest spots on Skaneateles Lake. Pristine and quiet but not far from town. The best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Fishing, boating and just plain relaxing. Skaneateles is a great restaurant location. 2 bedrooms on main floor. 2 twins and 1 queen in sleeping loft. Pullout sofa in loft.More photos furnished upon request. Check back for updated photos. Although the road in is paved,we do suggest front or all-wheel drive.
