Nestled on over an acre of beautiful land, this home provides ample space for relaxation and enjoyment.
Step inside to discover a cozy yet spacious interior. The media room is perfect for movie nights or playing games, while the large deck invites you to unwind with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine, all while soaking in the tranquil surroundings. Or relax around our newly added fire pit area.
Each bedroom is thoughtfully decorated to ensure a restful night's sleep (including split system AC/Heating in all bedrooms), and the bathrooms are equipped with all the essentials for your convenience.

Outdoors, the property with it’s boutique little orchard, creek, and the surrounding cattails create a picturesque setting for a leisurely stroll, a relax in the hammock, a playful afternoon with the kids or an evening by the fire pit. There are a couple of kids bikes (located in the basement) available for use by guests. Please note, helmets are not provided and guests use these bikes at their own risk.

Our whole group loved the home and it was the perfect beautiful, peaceful getaway. We loved the convenience of being a 5 minute drive from the shops, restaurants, etc but still having the quiet. Everything was very clean and stocked with all that we needed. We also appreciated the extensive information provided about the home. Would stay here again for sure!
What an amazing, cozy home. Exactly what we were looking for while visiting Skaneateles and visiting our son at Syracuse University. House was very clean and loved the open window room layout in the kitchen and family room. Beds were very comfortable. Location was perfect. Owner was a pleasure to deal with. Hope to be back soon.
Wonderful stay in this lovely property. We hosted family for Easter here and had everything we needed. Beds are really comfortable, lots of cozy couches, kids loved the “secret room” above the media room, wood burning fireplace just added to the ambiance. Wish we had more time here!
The house was perfectly appointed. There are two small refrigerators in the kitchen and a large refrigerator and freezer on the bottom floor, which worked out great. Plenty of storage for all our food. The master bedroom is very large and comfortable. There is a large walk in closet and a nice bathroom attached. The other two bedrooms are also big and spacious with plenty of room. The bathroom attached to one of the bedrooms, was nice in that there is a door between the toilet/shower area and the sinks. The beds in all the bedrooms were very comfortable.The large living area with the sectional sofa was also comfortable. We did not use the dining room, but was large enough for an entire family. We also did not use the loft bedroom, but if you had small children, it would be fun for them to climb up and down the ladder to the loft area. There is also a media room which would be great for watching movies. The house sits all by itself with lots of privacy all around. Perfect back deck for sitting and reading or just lounging and relaxing. Way out back is a nice area with a fire pit for those cool nights to sit around a fire and enjoy the quiet of this lovely home. Next time we go back to Skaneateles, we will definitely rent this home again. You can’t go wrong
