Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Skaneateles Lake

This is an absolutely gorgeous setting for relaxing. The property has the most beautiful picture window looking out to the water. We enjoyed watching the sunset while having cocktails on the patio. It is minutes away from the Village of Skaneateles, ideal for shopping and great dining.

Ronnie did a wonderful job. Pictures look like the place. Very clean, natural light, precise instructions, and a seamless check in process. I would recommend this place 10/10 times. Thank you Ronnie!

Great location and having the kayaks and canoe was so nice, but we caught most of the fish right from the dock. Highly recommend this place!

Excellent home. It’s a very private location at the end of a quiet 4 home street. Won’t see or hear the neighbors at all. Easy drive to Ithaca, great hiking, local farms, and Watkins Glen. The pool is great, secluded and in all afternoon sun. Great for relaxing. Fire pit has all you need - dry firewood, Fire starters, s’mores kit, and sticks. Corn hole too. The house is very comfortable, clean, and well designed. If you are taller than 6’5, the master bathroom ceiling might be slightly low for you but the bathroom in the main level would be fine. Definitely recommend this gem

5/5 Stars – A Perfect Family Getaway in Skaneateles, NY! We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful, upgraded home in Skaneateles! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean, comfortable, and well-maintained everything was. The house had everything we needed, and the thoughtful touches made it feel like a home away from home. Our kids especially had a blast with the trampoline and playhouse in the yard—they couldn’t get enough! In the evenings, we enjoyed the serene campfire in the backyard, making s’mores and relaxing under the stars. The front pond added such a peaceful, picturesque touch to the property. We also appreciated how safe and family-friendly the house and neighborhood felt. It was the perfect setting for a memorable family trip. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

We had a great time. The location and view on the lake were just amazing!

Our trip to Skaneateles was made even better by staying at Christopher's property. He was very responsive and friendly. The home is perfection! Everything was thought of from coffee to ample silverware to updated appliances and super comfortable beds. Loved the treats left for us after our very late arrival. The home is spotless. I'm a fairly picky traveler and will 100% be staying at this property again next time we are in the area. Between the host, the property, the location...there isn't a better option in Skaneateles!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a wonderful stay! The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. The location was perfect, and check-in was super smooth. Our host was friendly, responsive, and made us feel right at home. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great experience!

Our stay was amazing, 10/10! Even though we only stayed for a night, we were very impressed! We came for a concert at the amphitheater and Idania’s place was close by. The place is the cleanest location I’ve ever stayed in. Not a single spec of dirt could be seen! There was milk, yogurt, and cold water in the fridge, along with a loaf of bread and cup-o-noodles. Though we didn’t use them, we were impressed by their availability! The bathroom was immaculate and had everything you could need (shower products, sanitary products, toothpaste, q-tips, and shower caps!). Even a bidet! Towels were pristine and felt high quality. The beds were surprisingly comfy and the bedding was soft and cozy! We loved the big bean bag chair. The temperature was perfect for us and didn’t need adjusting. We barely heard any sounds and felt very at home with plenty of privacy. Though we didn’t go out back, the back yard looked lovely. We were truly impressed with Idania’s place and would stay again!

Jerry’s place is my absolute favorite Airbnb ever…and I have stayed in quite a few! It is extremely comfortable, super clean, great area and has everything you can think of. I brought my mom with me on this trip and she loved it! I don’t know when was the last time I have seen my mom napping so peacefully. Everytime I go to Cortland I base my trips on the availability dates for Jerry’s place! Book now, I promise you won’t regret it!

I absolutely LOVE everything about this place and the host!!! Let’s talk about the hold “ she is absolutely amazing.

Great quiet place, just out of town. Cute little bagel place close by. Loved the area and will be back if in this area again.

We visit the finger lakes region several times a year and this is space and location was a perfect fit for us. Friendly responsive host who has clear instructions to everything. A very clean, well supplied place.

Beautiful location right on Cayuga Lake. Peaceful, quiet, and very comfortable. The hosts were very responsive and provided a lot of information on the local area. We enjoyed our stay very much!

This place was so lovely in so many ways. - First it was so perfect for our daughter’s Cornell graduation. - Second it was so tastefully decorated with eclectic collection of furnitures - Third the host was so thoughtful in preparing every detail for us (eg over 10 kinds of shampoo, conditioners and body wash) - Finally I highly recommend this place

Scott was great and so helpful! We had a short stay, but every year when we come to open up our cabin, we hope to stay again! Thank you so much, Scott!

Troy's place is suitable for a summer vacation! It has nice views of the lake and the area was nice and quiet. Although our stay was short, we really enjoyed it and would definitely stay again!

Rachel’s place was phenomenal! It was clean and cozy, and perfect for a quick escape from NYC. It was also close enough to be right in downtown Ithaca within minutes. I will definitely be back again!

Clean, fairly easy to find, comfortable and a great location right in the heart of Armory Square.

This was a repeat visit and another great experience! The apartment was perfect, super convenient to our events and we again appreciated the convenience and excellent fare of the Rye and the Garage restaurants. THE place to stay in Elmira!

Great stay! Wonderful visit with 3 adults, we gave my mom the larger room and my sister and I stayed in the room with the trundle bed. The living room area was so nice to spend time planning our day or visiting together at the end of the day. Great walking to breakfast and dinner spots. The location will be even better when the renovations are done by the water. Parking was easy and a great home-base for visiting the manyFinger Lakes locations. My mom said the pillows were so comfortable! Great that there was a hair dryer and even a steamer if someone needed it! Many coffee and tea options in the kitchen.

The apartment was adorable and well decorated. It seems as if they had thought of everything! Shalisa was also extremely responsive and friendly. 10/10 would recommend her place.

Our family came in for a concert, and this location was perfect. Beautiful condo, with a perfect location on the lake. With access to the pool, hot tub, life sized chess board, gym and the lakeside trail, we were within steps of a brewery, salon, restaurants, playground and an ice cream shop. Within walking distance of CMAC -- which we saw many people do. No need to bring your own towels, the condo has 4 for your use. The owners were quick to respond when we weren't able to get the door open (trick: turn the lock all the way to the right and lift the door handle up as you open) and super kind/prompt if I had other questions. We'll def be back. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful place!

This was a great stay for us! Super easy to walk to anything downtown, and parking wasn’t too difficult to come by. Highly recommend, especially for anyone looking for a quick weekend getaway!
