We are a group of women who have traveled together for 27 years. We have rented many homes during this time and this was one of the best!! The house was beautifully furnished, very clean and comfortable for our group of 10. The house is well maintained, inside and out. We enjoyed the yard, fire pot and patio. The communication's with Debbie was outstanding. She sent us detailed information before we arrived and responded immediately to any questions we had after we arrived. We highly recommend this beautiful home.

Fully equipped kitchen, enough sitting for our group of 13. There were only 6 Adirondack chairs by the fire pit with tables, but we brought more chairs. We have a fire every night, wood provided. Pet-friendly, fenced in yard. The 2 kitchens came in handy for all our food/beverage storage.

We had a wonderful say at this home for a family reunion with three families and our adult kids. The six bedrooms and 41/2 baths gave everyone plenty of space, and the layout made it very comfortable for a larger group. The kitchen and bathrooms were all in excellent condition, with high-quality appliances and a well-stocked kitchen that had all cookware we needed. The beds were very comfortable , and towels provided were great quality as well. The only thing we would have wished for is complimentary shampoo and conditioner, which would be especially convenient for quests flying in from out of state. Other than that, we would happily stay here again.

Mom is 90!
We were gathering from MN and FL with our families to celebrate our Mom’s birthday. Having a large residence with three living space floors worked out so well. Mom and two other siblings came for a few hours during the days. A nine month old baby meeting her great grandmother was priceless. We were able to grill out and the kitchen(s) had everything we needed. The bedrooms were large and en suite bathrooms as well. Everyone was very comfortable in the variety of living spaces. It was Memorial weekend and a bit rainy but not a total wash out. The house provided more than ample space for dining, playing games and we even snuck in a fire pit night. The location was ideal being just a little bit out of town and very convenient to restaurants and shops. My brother in law wondered in all the years coming to my parents on the east side of Syracuse why he was never taken to Skaneateles. Our kids managed to fit in some hiking, a trip to Seneca Falls (women’s rights) and we all visited the local winery. Everyone agreed the birthday get together was very special and would definitely return to the house again. Debbi was so great to work with. As we all had different flights, check in and check out was very convenient for us. Many thanks!

Fantastic New Years Eve at Evans Lodge
Evans Lodge is a beautiful well-appointed home in one of our favorite towns - Skaneateles! We are a group of couples who are long-time friends and this was one of our best New Years’ together. The Lodge was beautifully decorated and had more than everything we needed. All the bedrooms were spacious and wonderful and it was great having 4 1/2 bathrooms! The main floor living space was perfect for us all to hang out, cook, play games, watch football and be together. Plenty of room to spread out but still cozy. The lower level also had a great living space for playing cards and watching more football - there was even a large kitchenette with a second refrigerator, microwave etc. It was cold but still lots of fun having a fire in the firepit - nice fenced in backyard with plenty of Adirondack chair seating for us all. Evans Lodge was exactly what we hoped it would be and more! Many were commenting that it was the nicest rental home they had ever been to. We hope to come back for another celebration soon!

Our family of 10 has been renting homes in Skaneateles for four years. Evan’s Lodge was the favorite. Well designed and well appointed modern home with a comfortable feel inside and out. And only a 5 minute drive to the lake for swimming at the public swimming dock entrance and nearby restaurants and shopping.

Multi Generational Family Getaway
We enjoyed all that the property and the region in and around Skaneateles had to offer. The property was immaculate, provided plenty of space to be together but also for each family member to be able to spend quiet time alone if so desired. The kitchen was more than fully stocked and we enjoyed cooking some meals together.
Our time was filled with laughter, lots of games, visits to town and all the wonderful shops, golf, and day trips to Cooperstown and Seneca Falls. And, I can't forget the afternoon on the pontoon boat!
It was a wonderful family trip with many wonderful memories!

Evan’s Lodge review
We all truly enjoyed our stay. Just a couple of things that I want to mention. 1. The entrance off highway was not clearly marked as well as an entrance chained off. Perhaps something like a star, big E or something to indicate where to go to find house. 2. Stink bugs were a huge problem in an upstairs bedroom, one in the right. Easily 25-30 of them over the time we were there, several in the bed linens. 3. Shower in the main floor suite was very hard to turn on. I know you received a call in that. Maybe a small note in that room with details on how to turn on. 4. Perhaps a bagel slicer in the main kitchen. No one got cut but injuries from cutting bagels are #1 in offices. ( I was director of a 30 room American Cancer Society Hope Lodge in Rochester. Open 24/7/365 providing free lodging to cancer patients and caregivers. I have heard and seen it all.) Those are our only comments other than we had a terrific time!

Adult family getaway
Each year, the adults in our family get away for a week. This rental was perfect for 12 adults (and a dog) enjoying day trips out to the lake and wine country to return home for dinner, games and fire-pit evenings. Deb made everything easy by providing written instructions and phone numbers if we needed her. She was also helpful in planning ahead.

Huge house perfect for big group!
We were three couples with children in tow and this place was great! We were able to spread out and have space but also all gather to hang out.
The kitchen was well equipped. Loved access to the grill and stocked fire pit. Bring bug spray! Having a washer and dryer was amazing. Two kitchens, two hangout areas, it was amazing.
Super convenient to town. We rented a pontoon boat, went hiking to the waterfalls and hit the downtown swimming area.
It was convenient to Syracuse airport (flew direct from Dallas, Tx) and our friends had an easy drive from Pennsylvania.
All in all an amazing stay and would recommend.
