We had a great time at this location everyone had their own space beautifully decorated house in the woods!!Great kitchen stocked with everything you need to cook and socialize with your family. Close to the town and hiking trails. We would surely stay at this location again. Also the hosts are great very communicative and kind.
We had a wonderful say at this home for a family reunion with three families and our adult kids. The six bedrooms and 41/2 baths gave everyone plenty of space, and the layout made it very comfortable for a larger group. The kitchen and bathrooms were all in excellent condition, with high-quality appliances and a well-stocked kitchen that had all cookware we needed. The beds were very comfortable , and towels provided were great quality as well. The only thing we would have wished for is complimentary shampoo and conditioner, which would be especially convenient for quests flying in from out of state. Other than that, we would happily stay here again.
Plenty of bedrooms, beds and bathrooms. Downstairs/walk-out set-up is very nice. (Note: A small set of dishes would have been nice to have downstairs.) Main kitchen had everything necessary for meals. Home was very clean. Location was pretty and secluded, yet very close to town.
This house is everything it says it is and more! Beautiful, spacious, and a great back yard for grilling, having a fire pit, and spending time together. Debbie was a great host, as our family and friends in our bridal party spent the weekend with us in this house. Skaneateles lake is just a few short minutes away. Would highly recommend this vacation home!
Our family of 10 has been renting homes in Skaneateles for four years. Evan’s Lodge was the favorite. Well designed and well appointed modern home with a comfortable feel inside and out. And only a 5 minute drive to the lake for swimming at the public swimming dock entrance and nearby restaurants and shopping.
Wonderful fun weekend! House was totally accommodating for 11 of us girls. Great fall weather and good times!
The house is gorgeous, clean and has a very open floor plan to entertain. We loved it!! It was our third time staying here and probably not our last. We will be back:). Thx Deb
We were 10 female cousins coming from Rochester & PA in our 60's and 70's and I can't say enough about this beautiful home. It lived up to all expectations from cleanliness, layout, decor, kitchen fully stocked &TV's in every room! Communication was great and they came right down when we had questions on programming the TV. I would not hesitate to recommend this property or return again
Evans Lodge is a beautiful well-appointed home in one of our favorite towns - Skaneateles! We are a group of couples who are long-time friends and this was one of our best New Years’ together. The Lodge was beautifully decorated and had more than everything we needed. All the bedrooms were spacious and wonderful and it was great having 4 1/2 bathrooms! The main floor living space was perfect for us all to hang out, cook, play games, watch football and be together. Plenty of room to spread out but still cozy. The lower level also had a great living space for playing cards and watching more football - there was even a large kitchenette with a second refrigerator, microwave etc. It was cold but still lots of fun having a fire in the firepit - nice fenced in backyard with plenty of Adirondack chair seating for us all. Evans Lodge was exactly what we hoped it would be and more! Many were commenting that it was the nicest rental home they had ever been to. We hope to come back for another celebration soon!
We were gathering from MN and FL with our families to celebrate our Mom’s birthday. Having a large residence with three living space floors worked out so well. Mom and two other siblings came for a few hours during the days. A nine month old baby meeting her great grandmother was priceless. We were able to grill out and the kitchen(s) had everything we needed. The bedrooms were large and en suite bathrooms as well. Everyone was very comfortable in the variety of living spaces. It was Memorial weekend and a bit rainy but not a total wash out. The house provided more than ample space for dining, playing games and we even snuck in a fire pit night. The location was ideal being just a little bit out of town and very convenient to restaurants and shops. My brother in law wondered in all the years coming to my parents on the east side of Syracuse why he was never taken to Skaneateles. Our kids managed to fit in some hiking, a trip to Seneca Falls (women’s rights) and we all visited the local winery. Everyone agreed the birthday get together was very special and would definitely return to the house again. Debbi was so great to work with. As we all had different flights, check in and check out was very convenient for us. Many thanks!
Everyone enjoyed this beautiful home check in process was great house was clean and fit our large group perfectly . We would definitely recommend it and looking forward to staying there again !
Fully equipped kitchen, enough sitting for our group of 13. There were only 6 Adirondack chairs by the fire pit with tables, but we brought more chairs. We have a fire every night, wood provided. Pet-friendly, fenced in yard. The 2 kitchens came in handy for all our food/beverage storage.
We are a group of women who have traveled together for 27 years. We have rented many homes during this time and this was one of the best!! The house was beautifully furnished, very clean and comfortable for our group of 10. The house is well maintained, inside and out. We enjoyed the yard, fire pot and patio. The communication's with Debbie was outstanding. She sent us detailed information before we arrived and responded immediately to any questions we had after we arrived. We highly recommend this beautiful home.
