Best weekend

This was for a wedding and the groomsmen stayed! I spoke with Debbie on the phone briefly and let her know that after rehearsal dinner that the bride and some bridesmaids would be stopping in to hang out for a bit and she was very nice about it. Communication was immaculate. If I ever need a house in Skaneateles again I will 100% be looking at this house again!

One of the Best

I must say I don't know who designed and decorated the renovation of this home, but it is perfection. The home was impeccably clean, stocked better than any VRBO I've stayed at, and the location was within 2 miles of town. I don't feel that it is walkable to downtown as there are no sidewalks, and it is on a busy road. The owners were extremely responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will book this property again next year. Get Outlook for Android

Quaint and beautiful home

This house was so adorable! There were 3 of us who stayed here for a girls weekend! The communication from the host was amazing from the time we booked until the time we checked out! We loved how the owner laid everything out with that is and is not included! The house is 5-10 minutes of a winery, shops, restaurants and so much more! The only complaints I had was the upstairs was kind a chilly but again, this is an old home and we wish there were cards games (Uno, Phase 10, etc), but this is our own fault as we forgot to bring our own! Everything was clean, up-to-date, and every well organized. I am hoping to make the girls trip a yearly thing and we would definitely choose this house again!

Beyond Charming

Members of my family live on opposite sides of New York State & Skaneateles is our favorite location for meeting up. Over the years we've had several special events there.The first one was to celebrate our father's 80th birthday. Our most recent get together was to celebrate the 80th birthday of one of my siblings! I rented this property for my children, grandchildren & I to stay at. Others arranged to stay elsewhere. After the party, we used the house as a gathering place to visit since we see each other infrequently. It was ideal. We loved the openness between the kitchen, dining area & living room. The kitchen was very well outfitted with high quality cookware & utensils. The abundant windows allowed for good ventilation. The beds were comfortable. The downstairs walk-in shower was awesome. And everything was clean. In addition to its functionality, the house has unique features which give it lots of character. A couple of my siblings have renovated farmhouses, including one that was run as a bed & breakfast for many years. My daughter has an interior design background & she noticed things I missed -- both practical & decorative. Our whole family appreciates good craftsmanship & creativity & this house exemplifies both. We loved it.

Decent but wonky

The property is appropriately furnished and everything was very clean and in working order. It is about one mile from town, on a busy country road. There is a fenced in backyard. Beds are comfortable -- memory foam, I think. The drawbacks of the property are that there are many awkward thresholds between rooms that cause you to trip or stub toes. This happened to all three able-bodied adults on our trip. It is a dark house. Additionally, there were no welcome amenities -- not even a few k-cups to get you through the first night. Most every other property I have rented typically leaves at minimum some coffee, but many leave a welcome basket with snacks, wine, toiletries etc. It was expensive, so I expected some additional touches. Owner does outline in an email a few weeks prior what you need to bring with you but at that point you have already booked and paid. Owner asked us to bring make up remover cloths so we didn't soil their white towels. Seems like a minor nuisance, but annoying nonetheless. For the cost, I would pass.
