STAY ON Owasco Lake, ON LEVEL ground (no stairs).

AlyssaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
My friends and I had a great stay here on the lake! It's a little closer to the neighbors than we were expecting but everyone was incredibly friendly and kind. The lake is a few feet from the house, which was exactly what we were looking for. Good price for what's offered, very peaceful experience!

Peaceful Waterfront Getaway on Skaneateles Lake

MelanieRating, 5 stars18 months ago
Chloe's house at Skaneateles Lake is beautiful, it was clean and neat inside, the yard was big, the lake front was perfect. The house is spacious with beautiful bathrooms and kitchen. It is in a quiet neighborhood and felt very private. Karen, the manager, was quick to respond to my texts and extremely helpful.
The image shows a grassy area leading to the calm waters of Skaneateles Lake. A private boat ramp is visible, alongside several lounge chairs arranged on the shoreline. Lush greenery provides a natural backdrop, and a structure can be seen nestled among the trees in the distance.

Perfect location on the lake. Beautiful cabin with plenty of space for all four of us adults. I would 100% recommend this location especially in the summer when you can use the kayaks (it was a little cold this time of year for us). Host was quick to respond and super helpful! Thank you!!!

Beautiful home on south end of Skaneateles Lake

JulieRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had the most wonderful weekend at the lake! This was perhaps the most accommodating home we have stayed in. Heidi and Emily are offering everything -- from the fireplace (already stocked with wood), to a canoe, to lawn games, a dedicated dog area outdoors, and an amazingly well-stocked library. This house truly has it all. It was the perfect location for our 9-member family vacation for grandparents, parents, kids, and 2 dogs. We loved every moment. The house has a great, sprawling layout that seems to go on forever! That means the 3 back bedrooms are quiet, and the door in between them and the living area is great for the early risers while the late sleepers snooze. There are so many nooks for hanging out and having side conversations while still feeling a part of the group, but also a few areas to go for some solitude. We really couldn't have asked for anything more than this home offers. And the views of the lake, both from the home and from the beach/dock, can't be beat!

Barndominium

KarenRating, 5 stars4 months ago
The finger lakes was our destination for a full getaway weekend. We were thrilled to find this property on Lake Skaneateles, our favorite of the finger lakes! We loved the Barndominium from the first moment we entered it! Amazing views! The one big room is comfy, spacious, well equipped, and nicely decorated. We loved having lake access and kayaks to use right on the water!! The pool table was fun to have evenings and on the 1 rainy day. Beds and furniture were comfy, and the bathroom shower was especially spacious. Would we come back? Absolutely!! Thanks for a beautiful stay!!

Great Summer Finger Lakes Wine Trail Lakefront

ClaireRating, 5 stars91 months ago
This lake side cottage is extremely comfortable, bright and cheerful. It is nestled between other cottages on a quiet road yet feels private. The view is magnificent and the access to the lake is priceless. The water is very clear and the dock is perfect for fishing. We rented a boat for the week from Owasco Marine (very helpful) which is really a must for enjoying the lake. Plenty of space in the upstairs bedrooms. The kitchen is well supplied and clean. The laundry area is also clean and very helpful to have with children. The deck is very large and gets great afternoon sun and evening sunset view is perfect. Mike was extremely responsive to all questions. I highly recommend this home for 'lake' people who appreciate sunsets! Great for children too!
The lush green landscape surrounds a rustic camp positioned by the water's edge. A dock extends from the shoreline, accommodating various boats. Colorful kayaks and a pontoon boat are visible. The setting reflects a serene lakeside environment, ideal for relaxation and outdoor activities.

Cayuga Lake Getaway

MelanieRating, 5 stars69 months ago
This is a wonderful lakeside cabin. The yard is well landscaped and provides excellent privacy from the road and neighbors. The area is gorgeous, a short half mile walk from Long Point Park and also a nice walk from Aurora Brewing Company and Long Point Winery. The long bedroom off the kitchen provides a wonderful view of the lake through giant windows along one wall and a door right out to the deck. The bathroom off of this bedroom is very nicely designed as well, though note the water pressure is somewhat low in the shower. The other full bath had fine water pressure. The living room again has wonderful lake views with a sliding door out to the deck. Kayaks are provided and it is a lovely short kayak trip over to Long Point Park, just under 3 miles one way to kayak north to the Wells College boathouse, and about 2.25 miles across the lake to Thirsty Owl and Cayuga Ridge wineries. A gas grill and a charcoal grill are also available for some outdoor cooking. Brett’s father owns this cabin and he met us at the property for checkin, showed us around the cabin and property and gave us all of the information we needed. Brett handles communication through the airbnb app and he responds to questions very quickly. The cabin is not super fancy (hence cabin) but everything was clean and we didn’t see any insects of any kind inside. I would absolutely rent this cabin again for another weekend on the lake!
A light-filled sunroom features a comfortable seating area with a sofa and two armchairs, all arranged to facilitate conversation. Large windows provide views of the lake, while a door leads to an exterior deck. Wood flooring and a ceiling fan contribute to the inviting ambiance.

The Dane House

AndrewRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Had a great July weekend! Jay’s Airbnb was exactly as described and was a perfect place to meet with old college friends to hang on Cayuga for a summer weekend. It is exactly as described and would love to come back again. Also, King Ferry Golf Club (1 min drive up the road from the house) is a terrific place to play a $22 twilight round with a group of friends, would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun 9 hole course.

Cayuga Lake historic home-Finger Lakes wine trail

MelodyRating, 5 stars7 months ago
This is a lovely home with every comfort you could want. The bonus to the house is the boat house with its shaded deck - we five seniors alternated sitting on the front porch of the house and the deck of the boathouse. It even has two sofas that are great for an afternoon nap with the sound of lapping waves! Nearby Sheldrake Point Winery was a fun and convenient spot to visit, but our favorite winery was Boundary Break in Lodi. We enjoyed great meals at Taughanock Inn and at Edgar’s in Geneva. Can’t wait to visit again!
A wide window offers a view of the lake and dock, with trees framing the scene. The lawn slopes gently towards the water, which glistens under the sunlight. Colorful balloons are attached to the ceiling, adding a playful touch to the serene environment.

Lakefront 5 BR near Skaneateles

CarolineRating, 5 stars4 months ago
This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay. Even when it was cold, grey, and rainy outside, the home was incredibly cozy and the hot tub was wonderful when the rain subsided. It’s even more beautiful than the pictures and we had such a great view. If I come back to visit with a group this size again, this would definitely be where I’d stay. Thank you!
A serene lakeside view features a white house nestled among tall evergreen trees. A wooden dock extends over the clear water, while a blanket of light snow covers the ground, creating a peaceful winter scene.

Private Beach~Views: Majestic 2-Home Lake Estate

SydnieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We rented both the guesthouse and the cottage and it was PERFECT for our group. The walking distance between the two houses is super short and really easy. It was wonderful to find a place that could accommodate a group our size. The guesthouse was so modern and so beautiful. The cottage was comfy cozy, and the perfect place to gather as a group. Easy drives to wineries and breweries. The host was super responsive and very helpful before, during and after the stay. We would love to stay here again.
