We had a wonderful stay! This property was clean and very comfortable. The area was peaceful and we enjoyed sitting out by the lake as well as exploring all Skaneateles has to offer (Mirbeau Spa, Anyelaâs Vineyards, restaurants in town, etcâŠ). The property manager was very helpful in making sure we knew how to get into the house, provided us with all the details we needed for the house during our stay as well as things to do in the area as we were all first time visitors. We would highly recommend this property for a girls weekend or family vacation.
Pros:- The location of the house is great.- Excellent views of the lake from the kitchen and living room. - Nice layout - 2 bedrooms downstairs - 1 upstairs with attached bath. (Small beds upstairs). - plenty of blankets and pillows.- Deposit wasnât charged until close to check-in and refunded a couple days after check out.- Property manager VERY (too?) communicative - so Iâm sure any problems can be addressed quickly.Cons:- The management of the property is a bit much. A separate lease must be signed (& additional info below).- Rules disclosed in the lease but not in the listing include:â THE PROPERTY HAS A SMALL SYSTEM THAT CAN NOT HANDLE OVERUSE. QUICK SHOWERS NO MORE THEN FIVE MINUTES, 0-1 LOADS OF LAUNDRY PER DAY, SPREAD OUT WATER USE. â- Level of cleaning expected included in lease documentation is also a bit much:âb. House swept c. Kitchen and Bathroom counters wiped d. Microwave/Refrigerator wiped and emptiedâ- House has some âquirksâ disclosed upon arrival - including not being able to use any other appliances while the dishwasher is in use. Also - there is a floor to ceiling wood cabinet directly next to the stove - so donât plan on using all burners on the stove.
We came to the lake for my auntâs 80th birthday and we grew up coming to this lake every summer until I was 13 and it really brought back the nostalgia. The Lake view was beautiful. The rooms were comfortable and clean and it was just a perfect place for my family to gather and make memories. Brian was attentive from the time I booked to afterwards making sure we got home. he went above and beyond and anticipated all of our needs and any quirks about the property his communication was unparalleled will definitely be back!
