Cottage vacation rentals in Skaneateles Lake

We really enjoyed our time at Randall’s lake house! It has a beautiful view of the lake and is an easy drive to downtown Ithaca. Randall was very responsive and provided very clear instructions. Highly recommend!

The lake house was absolutely beautiful. The view was stunning and entirely relaxing. We went for a thirtieth birthday wine weekend in April and it was so much fun. The location was prime location on Seneca Lake, close to Herman J Wiemer, Toast, and Magnus Ridge. It is a prime location on the Seneca lake. We adored the hot tub and it comfortably fit 5 of us, maybe even 6-7 . We used the fire pit, the patio, and all amenities. When showering, we advise only one going at a time due to shifting in temperature. The hosts were extremely attentive and responsive to all of our messages! Thanks again for a great first time in the finger lakes. We’d love to come back. The house is spacious and very homey with plenty of cooking supplies available.

We really enjoyed our time at the Peppermint Cottage. It was freezing cold and snowy when we got there and it made us feel instantly warm and cosy when we walked in and a fire was already going in that beautiful fireplace! It was a quiet and peaceful location, and we enjoyed a quiet nights rest. Thank you so much for our wonderful stay!

We had a great time at Diane's place. Diane and Tom gave us a warm welcome and were very responsive and communicative before and during our stay. They also had plenty of recommendations on things to do. The hot tub was a major plus! Overall, would highly recommend if you're planning to stay in the area. We primarily went to visit Watkins Glen, which was just about 20 minutes away.

This host went above and beyond with details and everything was exactly as described. The home was extremely clean, which for a clean freak like me-is wonderful! Lots of suggestions for things to do and places to eat, and flexible. Beautiful place to stay inside and the view of Lake Ontario is spectacular on the outside! Hope to go again sometime before summer is over!

The location was perfect to attend a wedding at Fountainbleu Inn (just a short walk to venue). Also, the location next to lake was wonderful. We had plenty of bedrooms with linens/towels and extras like trash bags, paper towels, toiletries, dish soap etc was very nice. The kitchen had what we needed to cook for 10+ people, except crock pot and griddle (which we brought from home). We enjoyed the hot tub and used the propane grill on the large deck. The owner stays close by and was in communication often.

Perfect spot for a girls weekend! Peaceful and adorable home on a beautiful scenic lake, centrally-located to the wineries and restaurants around Keuka Lake. Thanks for hosting us!

We have stayed at this house multiple times. It is our home away from home at the Finger Lakes. You can’t beat the location! The house is absolutely perfect. It is a wonderful getaway. I can’t recommend it enough.

We had our annual girls weekend up in the Finger Lakes. This was a perfect location for us to visit a plethora of wineries, enjoy the lake, and go on a hike. The home was cozy and it was a great place to end our nights at. Mary was a great host and super communicative - gave us some great tips about wineries and some other local spots. Thank you for making this trip a wonderful one!

Our stay in Lodi was amazing. Beautiful view of the lake while watching tv, cooking or just playing a game. Very Peaceful. Easy to walk our dog. Love how the bedrooms are on each side of the house as well as bathrooms as to not disturb one another... beautiful.. many wineries and breweries for tastings, & most are Dog friendly too! So easy to sit back and relax! My daughter & boyfriend loved hiking and also did some golf! This was a Beautiful getaway and the host was so great and attentive. So clean and so comfy.

Michele and Andy were friendly, helpful, hospitable hosts, and their farm is beautiful! We enjoyed a relaxing weekend surrounded by their horses, cows, fields and forests. The house itself has rustic, unpolished, handmade charm and is decorated very tastefully. The bed was comfortable, the wood stove was easy to use and helped us stay warm for our winter visit. Michele was accommodating of our arrival and departure times, going out of her way to try to help us adjust plans to match the weather. She was also very helpful in providing restaurant recommendations and information about the area. We highly recommend staying here!

Thank you for letting us stay at your lovely house! We had the best time. The location is perfect, the house was so clean and the view was stunning. We highly recommend this lovely lake house!

We loved our stay! The house was awesome, very comfortable, and had everything we might need during our stay. Those rocking chairs on the porch were the icing on the cake. So lovely - hope to come again during the summer or fall.

This was our third time staying here while visiting family and we had a great stay! Our dog loved running in the fenced in yard, and our daughter loved watching from the deck. Always great hosts and a very easy stay!

The Little House is in a perfect location, near scenic trails and some of the best restaurants, wineries, and breweries in the area. Communication with Hannah and Dustin was great, and they recommended some local spots and even places in another nearby town we were staying in the night before checking in.

Very private and cozy setting. Very comfortable layout. We will always choose this place first, if available, when traveling to the area.

We loved our stay at the Megan house! it's obviously an older property but it's well taken care of and well loved. the location was exactly what we were looking for, right on the lake with excellent views, and close enough for adventures in the Ithaca area. the beds were comfy and Roy and Molly have excellent communication and are very clear in their recommendations and requests. we would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay hanging out near the rivers edge. We were provided with ample firewood and smores as a welcome gift :) very thoughtful. We look forward to coming back during summer to do some kayaking

Location, location, location! Right on the water, hot tub was great, comfortable place and it was just perfect for us. We loved the local wineries and other activities and it was so nice to come back to that beautiful lake view at the end of the day. Thanks so much Nick and Chrissy! We would love to come back one day.

We had an incredible time at Jesse and Bernadette’s!! 10/10 would stay here the next time we visit the Finger Lakes. Truly magical. Falling asleep to the sound of the lake was a definite highlight.

We loved our stay at the lake! The views were beautiful, the cabin was peaceful, and everything felt right at home. Wish we could have stayed longer!

“Ventura Lake House “ is nothing short of magical. The cottage is so comfortable and eclectic, furniture with fascinating pieces of art made by the hosts. The living room and bedrooms were extremely comfortable as was every space on the property, inside and outdoors. The kitchen was perfectly outfitted with anything a person might need. Christine even left a special birthday treat for our son and croissants as well as many staples in the fridge. Our favorite part was sitting on an Adirondack chair just watching and listening to Lake Ontario. We will definitely be back again and again. So grateful that Christine and Paul offer this beautiful place — and their many creative talents — for others to enjoy! Thank you!

Johnathan was extremely responsive and had very detailed clear instructions for everything. He checked in during our stay to make sure we were settled in. We were looking for a quiet comfortable place to relax and recharge and it was perfect for that. We especially enjoyed watching the ducks and geese swimming. The gas fireplace was so easy to use and cozy! There was a big snow storm forecasted during our stay and I was panicking a little bit about getting stuck and losing power, but Johnathan put my mind at ease and we didn't get snowed in or lose power and the snow on the lake was just beautiful.

Wonderful place to stay for our family of four! Beautiful view and clean, cozy home with all amenities needed to feel at home. We look forward to the next time we have the chance to make it to the upstate NY area and stay here again!
