About This Home
Experience the charm of lakeside living with this rare three-season Skaneateles Lake cottage, perfectly situated to capture stunning panoramic views and 125 feet of crystal-clear frontage. Designed for making lasting memories, this unique property features both a main camp and a private bunk house, offering ample space for family and friends. The main camp is split into two connected structures — one with a bright, open kitchen and living area boasting vaulted ceilings, open shelving, built-in bench seating, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and the other with two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath, sleeping four. A breezeway connects the spaces, leading to the expansive new 60-foot deck—nearly 800 sq ft—perfect for entertaining while overlooking the sparkling water. The separate private bunk house sleeps six and includes its own full bathroom, ideal for guests or extended stays. Outdoor living shines with a custom-built second-tier fire pit and lounge area, picnic space, and new stairs leading directly to the water, dock, and hoist for your boat or watercraft. Recent updates include a new metal roof, expansive decking, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces to maximize the breathtaking setting. Located on one of the most desirable lakes in the Finger Lakes region, this retreat offers peaceful seclusion while being just minutes from the charming village of Skaneateles, known for its boutique shopping, fine dining, and year-round events.
