Salinger’s character, Esme. Every room with a view, and with 267 feet of swimming and boating same-level frontage, the views are spectacular. Gorgeous stone and wood throughout. High ceilings, lots of light. Large porch for lakeside dining and relaxing along private grassy beach. Sleeps nine blissful souls. So quiet and peaceful in here, this must be what paradise is like. Skaneateles Lake is a reservoir for the City of Syracuse. It is considered the cleanest of the Finger Lakes. There is a Finger Lakes Land Trust preserve directly behind our property (the trail is accessible from route 41). There are multiple parks and preserves (Bear Swamp State Forest, High Vista preserve etc.) surrounding the south end of the lake; the Land Trust is working to preserve this natural setting by connecting these properties into an “emerald necklace” around the south end. The village of Skaneateles, 25 minutes to the north, is a well-known shopping, dining and tourist destination. They hold a music festival and boat show, have polo matches, run tour boat cruises and dinner cruises, and have free town band concerts. The town has many very fine restaurants from classic Victorian nine and twelve course meals at the Krebs to Doug’s Fish Fry, a local favorite. Boat rentals are available at the Skaneateles Marina a few miles south of the village.

It's an elegant, older well designed and well equipped ranch with fantastic lake views, lots of books and cool folk art. The lot is flat with it's own private dock, lawn and little beach. It was very easy for my husband to launch our kayak from. It has plenty of parking too. The water was crystal clear/clean and the fishing was fantantic.

But the main stars are the waterfront and property! It is a great space to play, sun and enjoy the water. ##### judi R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara H.

This is a very unique rental on a quiet road by the lake, perfect for a simple relaxing weekend trip. It is a nice sleepy area of the lake where you can unwind and be at peace. It is rural so there is not much nearby - but feels ideal for a family; I really appreciated that the space was pet-friendly, too. Cottage is full of fun artistic character and some really funky/neat rural folk art - we really enjoyed looking at all of the art. One of the nicest features is being right on the water with beautiful views of the lake from every window, no matter the weather you can enjoy it. Being so close to the water made it easy to collect shells and watch sunsets from the nearby dock, which my kiddo enjoyed. This cottage is well updated & furnished, with a small kitchen area (stove/oven/microwave etc.)- & instructions were very helpful for us to know how to use things and where they go, which made it easy for us. Very well organized overall and a joy to stay. Overall, this rental is a hidden gem on the lake. ##### Sara H. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana G. Jan 7, 2018 #### Awesome location with tons of space This is a great location with level lake frontage. There is a lot of space inside and one bedroom even has bunk beds for kids. I also love that the property had board games- great rainy day activity. The owner even let us borrow his canoe. The house is also located on a very quiet street so it is great to wake up to the quiet lake in the mornings. ##### Diana G.
