Skaneateles Lakefront home on 380' of secluded forested frontage Enjoy the ambiance of the Adirondacks yet the sophistication of fine dining, Broadway-quality musicals, and a world-class music festival in one of the most quaint villages in the Fingerlakes. Sit on the front deck among the hemlocks and you may see our resident eagles, or enjoy the afternoon sun on the back patio overlooking your own private waterfall in our ravine! Hike or drive up to the nearby 90-foot-tall Carpenter's waterfall with a new viewing platform and stairs to the water below, along with the path hike down to the lake. Explore with one of our 4 kayaks, or dock your boat on our mooring (May 31-Oct 1) and motor up to town to dock at the town's pier where you can shop and enjoy local eateries. Or stay home and catch some bass off the dock! We are a 20-minute drive from downtown Skaneateles. If it's raining, indulge in a massage and yoga class at Mirbeau Spa in town, or just veg in our covered open-air hot tub and open porch overlooking the lake. Nearby are famous Fingerlakes Wineries, several golf courses, public tennis, and pickleball courts, and Sunday polo matches. In August enjoy the renowned Skaneateles Festival featuring 3 nights weekly of classical music. If you prefer musicals, the Merry-Go-Round Theater hosts Broadway-class shows. Rent a party boat to tool around our beautiful lake with mansions on the north and more flora/fauna to the south. We have plenty of parking. In addition to 5 private bedrooms, there is a common sleeping area downstairs that has 4 queen beds separated by curtains and half walls. It is available upon request for 300$ weekly charge for parties that have mostly adults/older teens and for whom bunk beds/futons would be uncomfortable! Otherwise, the room is locked. The max occupancy REMAINS 14. The security deposit will be withheld if max occupancy is not observed. (PS- we live next door, for better or worse, and keep an eye, as we understand this is tempting to "just have a couple extra".) The lake is not swim-ready until mid-June unless you are a very hardy soul! Prior to then, we just love sunning on the dock and boating. Fall is one of the most beautiful and peaceful seasons to enjoy this private retreat. If there is snow in late fall/early spring (rare but possible!), we will happily refund your deposit as we cannot guarantee access as the road is not plowed. We take out the dock extension/floating dock/mooring sometime before late September; please let us know if you are bringing a boat. Boat rentals are available at Skaneateles Marina ((315) 685-5095 or Skaneateles Boat Rental (315-395-4210).
