This is property is the perfect quiet little getaway. Country area with beautiful views of the lake, the woods, the farms. Out in the middle of nowhere, (which is exactly what we were looking for) but 30 minutes or less from just about anything you can imagine, Lakes, wineries, breweries, Syracuse,etc. Will definitely be visiting again!

Cozy space overlooking Otisco Lake

Ellen and Adam were wonderful hosts. It was my husband's birthday weekend, and they surprised us with a nice focaccia bread, cupcakes from a local bakery, and birthday candles to boot!! The view from the 2nd floor space is reminiscent of a Finger Lakes winery overlooking Otisco Lake and surrounding rolling hills so typical of this area--So nice!!

Perfect Stay!

This is the easiest and is the easiest VRBO renter I’ve ever encountered. Ive used the VRBO app for multiple stays in different locations and this one was perfect. Ellen was an amazing host that went above and beyond to make our stay rememberable and enjoyable. The attention to detail that is put into the rental is amazing. Ellen has thought of everything and the house was spotless. Beautiful views and detailed instructions on anything you might be looking for locally. We loved our stay and our only regret was that we didn’t make it a longer stay. I can’t say enough good things about this rental or the owners, except if you’re going to go to Skaneateles, this is the best place to stay. This was a 10 out of 10 stay.
