Cottage vacation rentals in Skaneateles Lake

What a lovely stay! The cottage's location right on Keuka Lake was absolutely perfect, offering amazing wildlife and lake activity. We truly appreciated the privacy and genuine homey feel – made us feel immediately comfortable. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway. We'd definitely stay again!

This location is beautiful! Right on the lake. Easy to go down the stairs to the water. Randall was an excellent host and very responsive. The home is lovely and well kept. We had everything we needed. The hot tub was perfect! We used the canoe and kayaks and had a wonderful time on the lake. We would most definitely rent this again and we’ll keep it on our list! Highly recommend!

Peppermint Cottage was everything we hoped it would be! The scent of peppermint welcomed us upon our arrival. The fireplace and wide-plank floors created a perfect ambiance as we enjoyed the comfortable, cozy living room. The beds were comfy and the sheets crisp and clean. We enjoyed our stay so much that we hope to visit again someday.

Thank you for our wonderful stay this weekend. Your place is the quintessential lake cottage. Everything we needed was supplied and at our fingertips, without being overrun with “stuff.” Well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. It was a cool, rainy weekend and we took full advantage of the bedroom fireplaces and extra blankets! Would love to come back to enjoy summer-time at your place. Thank you!

Very beautiful home! Amazing view of the lake, along with nice amenities and plenty of space!!! Very update to date and clean home and a perfect place to stay , especially for a weekend getaway!!

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.

Great cozy cottage on the Keuka Lake. Garrett was a great host and the house was very comfortable for my family of 4. Got to enjoy taking our paddle board on the lake, sit by the fire pit during sunset and enjoy the hot tub after a cold rainy hike at Watkins Glen gorge.

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.

Mary was an incredibly gracious and accommodating host. She has a lovely cottage amidst a very private section of the lake and we felt we had all we needed to enjoy our peaceful retreat.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming, cozy and comfortable house on a quiet street. We so appreciated how well-stocked the bathrooms and kitchen were. The personalized front door code made getting in super easy, and easy to remember. Thanks for a great week!

The cottage was fantastic, clean, modern, and had everything we needed for a perfect weekend getaway. Kayaking on the lake was a breeze to set up and very fun. The state parks offered incredible hiking trails with stunning views. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Unfortunately we didn’t get to stay for long, we just needed a place to stop for the night, but Michele’s place was so beautiful and cozy we will definitely be back if we’re visiting the area again

We were going to Watkins Glen for the week and saw this listing and we were so happy to be staying on the water! The directions to find the driveway and house were good. The driveway is a touch long but taking it to get down to the water, literally, is just fine! There are some stairs to get from the driveway to the house, but thats worth it to get down to the water location. House was very cosy inside and we really enjoyed the rustic and cabin like feel. The weather wasn't the best for us, but the view on the water made it better. Warm weather, this place would be everything you need. Dustin was great and even reached out to us to give us the lay of the land since we were bringing a toddler and an infant. We will be looking for this place in the future and it is highly recommended!

Another wonderful stay at Michael and Raylenes cottage! As always the peaceful surroundings made for the perfect long weekend with our dogs. Michael and Raylene are incredibly welcoming and responsive; we can’t wait to come back :)

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.

The cottage is a hidden gem for anyone looking to experience the Sodus Bay/Lake Ontario & Finger Lakes region. Super cute decor, fully equipped home and incredibly peaceful. Would highly recommend and would stay again in the future!

Loved this cottage! House was decorated in a modern meets the lakehouse fashion, it was very clean, and these hosts have thought of every little detail to enhance guests stay. The lake view and screened porch are heavenly! We stayed for a concert weekend at Beak & Skiff orchard, which was only a short drive, so the location was great.

This rental was super cute and comfortable right on the water. We had a girls weekend and had everything we needed at Courtney's place. The cottage overlooks the water and it is a beautifully clear lake. Beds were very comfortable and everything was neat and clean. There are a few set of stairs to get down to the cottage along with stairs to access the downstairs living quarters/bedroom so just be aware of that. We saw Eagles over the water and heard owls at night...very peaceful and private. Tons to do in the town of Skaneateles as well and lots of great restaurants. We would certainly recommend this rental to anyone and are looking forward to coming back!

Airbnb was a perfect place to stay while we visited the area – even on a rainy day the lake looked beautiful! Listing was as described and the host was super responsive.

We stayed at this cabin in the Finger Lakes for two nights and overall had a good time. The location is beautiful, with lovely views of the lake (especially at sunset) which we really enjoyed. It was a peaceful spot, and our family appreciated the chance to unwind. The cabin itself was cozy and had the basic amenities we needed. It was clean, and the check-in/check-out process was straightforward. It worked well for the couple of nights we needed. The proximity to Ithaca and other small towns was definitely a plus and gave us a few nice options for exploring the area.

Adam was a terrific host. He kept in touch with us throughout the booking process and once we arrived at his cabin. It’s in a beautiful spot and has everything you would ever need for a relaxing lake vacation.

What a wonderful retreat! As soon as we walked through the door we felt at home. The home has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. James thought of it all including some treats to welcome us! We went to the local farmer’s market and cooked a great dinner, kayaked, fished and swam in the lake. We didn’t have the best weather to have a campfire but we watched a movie on the huge tv instead. We would definitely stay here again, we loved it so much we didn’t want to leave! Thank you for everything!

Amazing location along the lake that's also close to campus. We were there for a weekend late spring, just as the leaves came back. It was great to be surrounded by beautiful bright green one day and heavy fog the next. Thanks for having us!

This house matched the listing and pictures 100%. The location is a 10/10. Everything in Sodus point is walkable which we enjoyed a lot. The waterfront location was incredible and having access to a dock made our stay even better. Would recommend this place to everyone. Thanks for a great stay!
