About the host
Hosted by Trisa Giuliani
We’re a family who loves travel, community, and creating special spaces where people can unwind and connect. Originally from the D.C. area, we fell in love with the charm of small-town life and the peaceful rhythm of Skaneateles. Hosting is our way of sharing that joy — we love helping guests discover the magic of Skaneateles and feel right at home the moment they arrive. When we’re not hosting, you can usually find us exploring local trails, enjoying good food, and making memories with our kids and friends.
Why they chose this property
A few years ago, we visited Skaneateles and instantly fell in love with its small-town charm, welcoming community, and picture-perfect setting. The town’s quaint shops, cozy cafés, and stunning lake views make it the perfect escape from the busy D.C. life. We’ve spent countless Thanksgivings here, watched the magical Dickens Christmas Parade, and started mornings at the Skaneateles Bakery before taking scenic walks around the lake or exploring nearby hiking trails. It’s a place that feels like a breath of fresh air — peaceful, inspiring, and full of warmth.
What makes this property unique
Our home is a blend of modern luxury and rustic charm — a sleek black exterior that stands out beautifully against the lush countryside, paired with cozy, thoughtfully designed interiors. It’s spacious yet intimate, stylish yet comfortable — perfect for families, couples, or groups. We created this home as our own personal retreat, and every detail reflects that care: from the high-end finishes and jetted tubs to the quiet reading nooks and open gathering spaces. Whether you’re here to relax, explore, or reconnect, our home offers a peaceful haven that captures the spirit of Skaneateles.
