As soon as we drove up we fell in love. The house is quaint and gorgeous. It was spotlessly clean. The views were phenomenal with the sliding glass doors along the whole back of the house.

The cottage was very clean & modern! Alison was extremely helpful & pleasant! The lake views are breathtaking whether you’re in the house, on the back porch, in the hot tub, at the look out deck or on the dock! The extra amenities (hot tub, paddle boards, sunscreen, bug spray, speakers, walkie-talkies, candles, cooler, extra towels, bedside reading lights, plethora of kitchen utensils & dishes, etc) were a huge plus. We felt like we were at home! That’s really hard to do when traveling with an infant! We hope to go back very soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ##### Bridget M.

She made communicating with her a a total breeze and was very responsive whenever we had a question. The cottage is beautiful and very comfortable. It has every modern amenity you could ask for on a vacation. Everything is practically brand new. The views from the property are absolutely stunning, especially since we were there at the peak of the leaves changing. You can take a nice long nap in the hammock, have some drinks around the firepit, or just enjoy your morning coffee and take in the peacefulness of the lake while sitting in your Adirondack chair on the dock. I cannot recommend this place enough and we will definitely be visiting again next year! ##### Chad B. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melinda W. 21 May 2018 #### This Cottage Is In a Wonderful, Peaceful, and Private Location We were there for a wedding, and this location was perfect. It was very comfortable for three of us. The dock area was very nice with a firepit. Great place to go out on the deck early in the morning with a cup of coffee. There are lots of windows facing the lake and beautiful views from the living room and the king bedroom facing the lake. Even though the neighboring houses are on the same road, the property seemed secluded and private. The pictures of the cottage are very accurate. Very well maintained and clean. A couple of minor issues due to the beginning of the season were resolved immediately. There is no WiFi and very limited TV with no major network channels so take your favorite DVDs along or just enjoy the serenity of the lake. I would definitely recommend this property and would like to return. ##### Melinda W. Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katrina T. 21 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sublime I absolutely loved this house. It was breathtaking to drive up to see a sweet house surrounded by woods with the lake in the background. What was even more breathtaking was to actually walk into the house and see the lake in all its glory theough the wall of windows. I never tired of the view and the peacefulness and had I been able to swing it with flights etc I would’ve eagerly extended the stay. The house has everything you need, the kitchen is well stocked, there’s a washer and a dryer and a very good choice of kayaks, paddleboards, oars, life jackets, etc. The bed was very comfortable and the second bedroom looked really cute. I honestly cannot express to you what a sense of peace this property gave me. Skaneateles is a gorgeous 15 minute drive away, Dougs Fish Fry was awesome, went twice. The town is just as beautiful as the first time I happened upon it 7 years ago. Do drive the lovely one hour drive to Ithaca Farmers Market, you won’t regret it I promise! But do it early in your stay so you can take advantage of the all fresh produce, pies, cheese and flowers. I will definitely be bringing my husband to this house within the next year. The only negative I can possibly think of - and this is being SUPER picky - is that I would suggest to update the two leather couches to upholstered couches and possibly move the tv to another wall for easier viewing. But again, this is me being excessively picky! ;) The house and the lake are sublime. ##### Katrina T.

Perfect retreat for a family vacation. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### mary c. 12 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### relax and enjoy We were so pleased when we arrived to find there was nothing to be done but unload our cars. The house is very well equiped and very cute. Of coarse, there wasn't too much we could do about the weather. The town offers many options. MC ##### mary c.

Our weather was not good, but we were able to enjoy the hot tub overlooking the picturesque lake. Had it been warmer and dryer, we would have enjoyed the waterfront location much more. As it was, we were close to this great historic town with lots of shopping and restaurant choices. Good and inexpensive golf options within 30 minutes drive as well. We would love to return to this property later in the season when we can enjoy the water more. ##### Martin P.

The property is beautiful, the weather was perfect and the owners were kind, responsive, and attentive to any questions or concerns. We would happily stay at Hide Away again for future stays on Skaneateles Lake. ##### Michael N.

The property was very easy to get to, and the view of the lake was SUBLIME. We regretted not booking a longer stay at the cabin, two nights weren't enough to appreciate the views. ##### Jason G.
