Skaneateles House | Secluded house on Skaneateles Lake with long lakefront

4 Bedroom House in Skaneateles

The house is perched on a bluff with open views of Skaneateles Lake, with 300 feet of lakefront below. Located on a little-developed stretch of the eastern shore, you approach from deep woods of oak and sycamore, revealing the lake as you near the house.
The beautiful modern design is finished in redwood, both on the exterior and much of the interior. The house has two wings separated by outdoor decks. One wing is one story with living area, dining area, kitchen, bath and two bedrooms (traditionally the "kids' side"). The other wing has two stories with a bedroom on each floor and a half bath on the second floor (traditionally the "grown-ups' side").
The outdoor decks are delightful places to dine or relax with a full view of the lake. A huge oak grows through the lower deck, giving shade.
The water in Skaneateles Lake is crystal clear and clean. The waterfront has a dock with a wide area for sitting. Guests may use two kayaks and a canoe, with life jackets and paddles provided. There's also a floating splash mat- huge fun for kids! Guests may bring their own boats and use a mooring provided near the dock.
The house has no air conditioning. There is a fireplace and 3 space heaters for heating. Thanks to its location, air conditioning isn’t needed. There are fans in every room for warm nights. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, heat isn’t needed either. Earlier in May and after the third week of September the fireplace and space heaters work well, along with nice blankets we provide.
NOTE: Due to multiple changes in level and steps to the lake, this property is NOT SUITABLE for those with mobility challenges.
PRICE REDUCTION: The price that appears on this website reflects a discount of $100 per night from the initial price.
