The property has a lot of amenities and we took advantage of all of them. Well located to use as a base for exploring the area. Also very comfortable for just staying in and hanging out with friends and family. Highly recommend and would happily stay again. Finally, don’t let the road scare you. We had an all wheel drive and had no problem getting in or out. ##### Jeffery C. Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### mary jean b. Nov 24, 2018 #### Dramatically Situated, not for me. As described, the house is spectacularly situated in a quiet, isolated spot high up on the cliff of Skaneateles Lake. Really good for people who like to boat, fish, kayak, or want to be really away from it all because they need a quiet break. It is truly beautiful. The driveway is no joke. It is a steep gravel driveway with some sharp turns, situated high up carved into the hills alongside the lake. There are 120 steps to the lakefront dock. There isn't really any place around the property or even up the road to walk or just be outside unless on one of the cleverly designed decks or the dock. I felt too confined. If that makes you happy, this is your place. The downstairs bedrooms were smaller than I imagined from the pictures. The guest information said there was a home theater with Sirius Surround Sound. I wrote to the owner asking if that meant we could stream from a computer or was there a CD player. His reply was that there was no CD player, and a computer should work from auxiliary. There WAS a CD player, & speakers mounted on the walls up & downstairs. Only downstairs worked. There were speaker wires coming out of the wall to the CD player. We spliced 2 of the wires to get 3 speakers working. The description needs an update. One of the major reasons we rented this house was "on the lake with a hot tub & private". The hot tub was not working when we arrived. I figured out how to get it going after texting the property manager. The water level was too low. I had to drag a hose around the patio & fill it. Then the jets never turned off & the temp was off. The house manual instructions didn't work: Press Button 3&4 to get right mode. Buttons 2 & 4 did it. 1 hour later.This was not a cheap rental. Home maintenance was not on my agenda for my 60th birthday girls' weekend. On Sunday, we heard a loud alarm and the downstairs toilet was flooding and an alarm was sounding. The property manager came promptly and fixed it . The porch lights are beautiful and on a constant timer. Which means they shine into the main floor bedroom. All the time. For such a beautiful, sophisticated style house, the kitchen was poorly stocked. I like to cook and like good quality cookware and utensils. I know that's not the norm nor how the house was advertised, but I was surprised at how much the house was not oriented to cooking. And there aren't any nearby restaurants! For example: were no under counter lights which makes it hard to see while cooking at night. ##### mary jean b. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barb B. Oct 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved loved loved the outdoor area After the initial shock of the driveway, yes 4 wheel definitely needed, we came upon the beautiful home. My husband, kids and their significant others and myself had a fabulous time rain or shine. The outdoor living area was perfect, lots of card games and dominoes and we enjoyed chopping wood and had a fire every day. Even during the storms and rain we loved being curled up, hunkered down by the fire. The outdoor shower was awesome. Cleaners probably loved us because our shower never got used. The hot tub was also wonderful and a must for us when renting and so easy to jump in the outdoor shower after. What a fabulous idea with the Piano Room!!! So unique and we took full advantage enjoying all the music while we were there. Also took some great videos rocking it out probably to my embarrassment. We highly recommend renting the pontoon. While we didn’t get to use as much as we had hoped we were glad to have it. The weather and water just wasn’t conducive for comfortable boating. We actually made the choice to turn around one day when hoping to venture to town for lunch. My son was a smart captain and didn’t want to take chances especially with his pregnant sister aboard :) We really loved the place and Mike made it very easy to check in and was very helpful. We hope to come back one day to take advantage of the lake and pontoon during the summer. Thank you for sharing your home Paul! ;) we counted 118 steps. Awesome workout each day!!

The property manager Mike was so nice and helpful with answering all my questions right away and getting us to the property. 10/10 ##### Halle O.

The property is beautiful and property manager was extremely helpful when getting onto the property, as the road is difficult to navigate. The boat that is available in the listing is shared by the another house and should be noted! Overall, our stay was fabulous and we would love to come back again. Thank you! ##### Jennifer C.

We had great communication from both the property owner and manager in advance of arrival and throughout our stay. We were well informed about places to go and eat. Mike, the property manager met us in a location close to the lodge and drove us in. The lodge is nestled on a hillside. Absolutely stunning!!! Mike answered any questions we had immediately and was super!! He definitely went above and beyond. We absolutely loved everything and the amenities! We would go back in a heartbeat! ##### Carolyn N.

The views were breathtaking and the house was remarkable. We enjoyed fishing off the dock and relaxing/hanging out on the multiple decks. The outdoor spaces made this property one-of-a-kind; from the outdoor fireplace to the hot tub, outdoor shower, sauna, and variety of decks for everyone to explore and enjoy. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely rent the property again. ##### Kyle D.

Paul’s Lodge was The Perfect place for our family vacation. We had 8 adults and 3 kids and there was plenty of room for all of us. Mike (the caretaker) was very helpful and super knowledgeable about the area, he met us and brought us to the house. When they say you need 4 wheel drive, it is not a suggestion, it is absolutely true! It is a mile long, gravel, windy driveway which is steep in certain areas. Do Not let this deter you though from renting this secluded house. Although the inside is beautiful, we spent 95% of our time outside, taking showers in the outdoor shower, eating all our meals in the outdoor living area with a fire going every night, fishing on the dock (grandchildren were Super excited to catch fish), going down to the dock several times a day gave us our daily workout (seeing how there are 119 stairs each way), renting the pontoon boat (fishing and riding around relaxing), kicking back on any number of decks and reading a good book, and of course tasting the wines that are stocked from the local winery! There were excellent hikes to go on (Watkins Glen State Park), apple picking at Owens Orchard, and night Salmon fishing with Eric from Wilsey’sm Fins & Feathers Guide Service. We can not rave enough about Paul’s Lodge, it was an incredible week for our whole family! Thank you Paul for sharing your home with us! ##### Valerie G.

Expansive deck - perfect for roasting s’mores at the fire and enjoyed the hot tub. As others mentioned, be sure to have all-wheel drive because it’s a challenge otherwise. ##### shannon m.

The immense outside deck with fireplace, TV, tables, lounge chairs and tables made each evening an event. I highly recommend renting from Paul. He and the property manager, Mike, were very communicative and extremely helpful. Be ready to get your steps in as there are about 100 stairs between the house then lakeside dock. But well worth the hike! Need 4WD to get down the rocky road. ##### Earl L. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda S.

The drive in is a little intimidating, but the Lodge was delightful. We rented the pontoon boat for the week and had a great time swimming and riding on the lake. The water is unbelievably clean and clear. The outdoor spaces are great - we ate outside every night and finished off with s'mores in the fireplace. We could all eat as much as we wanted after climbing the stairs to and from the water several times a day! The master bedroom suite is lovely. The other bedrooms were functional but small. We all enjoyed the outdoor shower on the lower deck! Our family agreed that we need a return trip to Lake Skaneateles! ##### Linda S.

We also rented the boat for a week and it made our vacation that much more enjoyable. Everyone had a great time, even with a week of on and off again rain we were able to enjoy our time away. The covered hot tub and outdoor living space were perfect retreats for when we were unable to enjoy the lake. Great location and amenities with a caretaker that was very attentive to whatever needs arose during our stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us. ##### Nicole H.

We had a nice stay at the lodge. The lake was gorgeous! The house itself was nice, but not quite as luxurious as it as described. We would have appreciate having somewhere to all hang out inside the house, as it rained quite a lot during our stay. The outside of the house is gorgeous and we did appreciate being right on the lake, and having the hot tub at the house. Overall we had a nice visit. ##### Valerie T.

Rented the boat and really enjoyed that. There were many amenities at the house to enjoy, especially the hot tub. Two negatives: 1\. There were no access from house to walking trails. The location is beautiful. 2\. Do not rent this house unless you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Extremely rough terrain. ##### Kathy B.
