Awesome weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating our friend’s wedding. Emily’s house was great, beautiful, clean, comfortable beds, and had all the amenities we could ask for. It was the perfect location and loved having the lake access. My only complaint is the dock felt quite rickety, so just be careful on that. 10/10 would stay again!

A-frame on the hill, great view, stars & birds

Had a wonderful week at the A-frame house at Five Mile Point on Skaneateles lake. The house sits on a hill overlooking the lake, about 100 yards from the lake’s edge. There’s a shared lake access dock and ‘beach’ area for guests. The house has been recently renovated with modern amenities, TVs on every floor, cooking utensils, outside grill, paddle boards, kayaks, Wi-Fi, everything you need. There’s a nice, elevated deck in the rear that we spent multiple hours in morning listening to songbirds while sipping on coffee (load the Merlin app to identify birds and calls). On a clear night, you are treated to an explosion of stars and can see the Milky Way with the naked eye. Load the SkyView app on your phone and explore the cosmos. The new owners have added some new landscaping, including a patio with picnic table and fire pit (with solar-powered lights that turn on when it gets dark). The host, Emily, could not have been more helpful. She quickly responded to every email or text and was a pleasure to deal with. Easily the best host I’ve dealt with on VRBO. My daughter made me promise that we would get the house for next year.

Host profile image
Welcome to the lake home of Alex & Emily! While we live in Denver now - Emily grew up in Skaneateles and we're thrilled to have a little slice of lake paradise to share with you. Enjoy your stay!

Why they chose this property

Nestled in to the hill within the Five Mile Point community; the house is the perfect blend of quaint & quiet lakeside life while being completely comfortable and well appointed inside with all of the comforts of home. The large deck is the perfect place for your morning coffee or bird watching, to catch the gorgeous sunsets, or to listen to the babbling brook that runs through the property.

What makes this property unique

Our property is a unique blend of rustic lake life + modern creature comforts. An expansive acre+ lawn makes for the perfect wiffle ball, badminton or picnic space, complete with a brand new Weber Genesis E-310 3 burner propane grill and hammock. While you will enjoy an abundance of wildlife outside, the interior of the home is completely renovated with an updated kitchen, flooring, electric/plumbing, heat/AC, Wi-Fi, etc. for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
