About this property

Lakefront property close to town. Spectacular views and location.

Three sets of sliders open onto an expansive deck. Incredible views.'perfect weekend', 'idyllic', 'romantic',' serene', 'beautiful setting',' "2nd trip better then the first'. These are all comments taken directly from the guest book. Our cottage is located on a very quiet and private area on Skaneateles Lake yet close to town. Excellent trout and bass fishing from the lakefront. Enjoy a glass of Finger Lakes wine down on the waterfront deck or on the deck wrapping three sides of the cottage. Shale beach-easy access for children. Enjoy swimming and boating on one of the cleanest lakes in the world. Two queen bedrooms, sleeping loft w/2 twins and queen bed and queen sleeper. New shower in bathroom. Walkout basement with TV and ping pong. Both fixed and floating docks. 2 kayaks and canoe . Watch the hills across the lake light up as the sun sets. Great location on the Lake. 4 miles to Village, one mile to Winery or Marina.

Quiet, restful escape
"Lake Edge" is perched on a steep hillside about 50' over it's private beach. All 43 of the wooden steps to the water were strong and secure as we're the railings. Two scary switchbacks on the lane to the cottage we're really not as difficult as they appeared. The cottage is secluded. Adjacent neighbors were invisible through the trees, though we could hear soft voices. Perfect privacy in which to relax and unwind. The cottage is newly decorated with flat screen TVs everywhere. Great Wi-Fi. Very comfortable and functional. Great deck with a view across the lake. Best two-week vacation yet!

Beautiful and Peaceful!
This property was just what our family needed to relax and enjoy the beauty of Skaneateles. The home's deck had the most beautiful lake view in the mornings. The home was fully stocked with anything you might need. We enjoyed the access to the lake for swimming and rented a pontoon boat for a couple days. As others have mentioned, the driveway down to the house took some practice but we were all pros by the end of the week. The Owner was very responsive to any questions we had. A magical place and one we'd love to come back to!

Perfect Family Lake Getaway
We loved our week at Lake Edge. The house was cozy, clean, and a perfectly decorated lake house. The stone beach was perfect for our two kids to spend their days. The layout of the house is perfect for a young family, the loft provides a great space for the kids to spend their indoor time and gives the adults room to hang in the kitchen and living area. We'd come again in a heartbeat.

Why they chose this property

We have been visiting the Finger Lakes for years, renting on several lakes and many cottages. We fell in love with the area and after looking at several homes and several Lakes we finally found the perfect one for us. We feel this region is one of the most beautiful in the Country.We think it is one of the nicest spots on Skaneateles Lake. Pristine and quiet but not far from town. The best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Fishing, boating and just plain relaxing. Skaneateles is a great restaurant location. 2 bedrooms on main floor. 2 twins and 1 queen in sleeping loft. Pullout sofa in loft.More photos furnished upon request. Check back for updated photos. Although the road in is paved,we do suggest front or all-wheel drive.
