We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy bungalow. It's perfect for a family. Great location - close to the lake, restaurant & shops in town and plenty of hiking trails.
We enjoyed our stay! Very cute and clean home. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking hardware. Be aware, the grill needs charcoal. We didn’t bring any so that was a bummer. However, there is a lot of restaurants nearby so we were not disappointed for long :) We would definitely stay here again!
This was the perfect little house for my friend and I who were in town for a wedding. It was close to downtown Skaneateles and the nature trail scenery.
The whole area is so sweet. Calm neighborhood. Cute house that has character! Isn’t overly modernized, but updated! Very close to shops and restaurants. Enjoyed having breakfast on the porch! My one super small critique (and easily changed if they want to) was that I wish the front door had a sheer curtain on it since it’s mostly glass. Really enjoyed my stay!
This older house has been renovated and decorated very nicely! It is on a very busy main road so traffic can be loud at rush-hour. But it’s quite manageable. Do keep in mind that the wonderful bathroom is at the back of the house through what they call the office which has a twin bed. Thus, if someone is sleeping in that room, they will have to put up with others cutting through to use the bathroom. This was not a problem for us because we were just one couple using just one main bedroom. But it was a longer hike than we are used to in the middle of the night although really not too far. (We are Seniors). The kitchen looked very well equipped, and typically we would be using it and cooking more than we did but we were visiting family who did all of that for us so we did not have the opportunity to thoroughly check that out. But it certainly looked very well stocked. We would definitely rebook if we were needing a place in the area.

Cozy house in Mottville
Roomy , reasonable cost and easy drive to Skaneateles town center
Had a great stay in Skaneateles for our daughter’s baby shower. This home was the the perfect place for us to stay. Close to all of the village’s amenities.
Pictures of the home are exactly as shown. Lovely home with historical charm! Highly recommend!
Lovely house, close to the village. The yard is huge and beautiful. Jordan Ave is a main thoroughfare and it has lots of traffic during the day. But it didn't keep us from sitting on the poch
We loved staying at this home! It was a perfect size for our family and our visit to the lovely town of Skaneateles. We loved the claw tub in the bathroom and convenience of everything on one floor. The porch was adorable, a perfect place for a morning cup of coffee. My mom loved the vintage book collection, and even saw a few her grandmother had owned! We're just sorry we didn't have time to read them all.
The house had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable , the kitchen had all we needed, the shower and tub were both very nice. We loved the front porch. The location was perfect. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you.
Lovely craftsman bungalow close to town, furnished nicely and had everything we needed as well as a huge yard to walk the pup. The bathroom is superb, we each had a relaxing soak on the beautiful clawfoot tub. Def would visit again!
We stayed for a long weekend during Dickens in Skaneateles. Was a cozy, cute home. Just over a mile drive into town. Had to reach out to the owner for a small problem and she responded almost immediately. We really enjoyed our stay at this house and would definitely stay again.
