Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Skaneateles Lake

We had a wonderful stay!! The house has so much character and is tastefully updated to be comfortable. Great layout and sleeping options, plenty of room - it was perfect for our needs!

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Mara’s home was beautiful, clean and the perfect place to stay for a relaxing long weekend away. We’d love to stay there again and will definitely be recommending!

Great place for family and kids. Large bedrooms, activities in the basement for kids, and lots of open space for the kids to slide around and have fun.

Great place with lots of additional perks!

We were looking to host a retreat for the trustees responsible for running a creative problem solving program for kids in the state of New York. Our experience at Heywood Manor was nothing less than exceptional. The location, the house along with its amenities combined with a gracious host made it a memorable weekend. I'm trying to think of a reason to return just to experience it again!

Lovely spot for my family with two young kids to stay - easily accessible to great hikes and food options, a 15 minute walk to the commons, many grocery stores (and a great bakery) nearby, and super comfortable for the family to sleep, eat, and play. Andrea kindly left out toys for the kids and we loved having drinks in the backyard. Highlight activities were Buttermilk Falls hike, Teaghannock falls hike and lake beach, Treman swimming hole, Watkins Glenn, the National Soaring Museum, the Science Center, and Stewart Park. Best meals were at The Rook, Lev Kitchen, and Thompson and Bleecker (plus baked goods at Wide Awake bakery, but beware their limited hours!). Hope we can come back to Ithaca again!

Vernon & Merrie were wonderful hosts and were always very responsive before and during our stay. The house is a perfect fit for 2 families. It is very spacious and we felt like we had 2 homes in 1 with 2 full kitchens. This was a huge plus as our stay was over Thanksgiving and the extra space with 2 refrigerators, multiple ovens, etc… all came in handy. The house is very well stocked and it’s clear the hosts put a great deal of care and thought into creating a great vacation for their guests. Highly recommend!

Loved our stay at Joan’s place. My two daughters and I were in town for my daughters 21st birthday, her place was close enough to some many places that we had an abundance of options to choose from. Her place is very peaceful ! The weather didn’t corporate for us but we still managed to get in a nice 10 minute walk to the Lake from her place. The house had everything we needed for a weekend stay , including games and cards which we did use ! She is very thoughtful and kind adding a few personal touches and she made checking in and out pleasant !! Her place was the perfect size for us and although we didn’t get a chance to use the yard , deck or fire pit it’s all definitely an added bonus! Would recommend and would stay again.

The apartment was very clean and cozy! I felt right at home at Jane's place. Speaking of Jane- she is phenomenal! Very responsive and a caring individual! She left us welcome gifts from local spots and everything she left was delicious and she recommended some great local places as well. My husband and I will definitely be returning and are super thrilled we had such a lovely getaway and lovely host!

My daughter and I were in for the night to visit Syracuse, and this was the perfect affordable place to stay! We each had a room and there was plenty of space to chill and relax as well. The decorations were so beautiful.

I stayed for one night and it was last minute. Jerry was very accommodating, the place was beautiful, it was clean, and it was extremely comfortable. If you're looking for a quiet and relaxing place with quite a few amenities I highly recommend staying here.

I really enjoyed my stay. Keith's place was clean, comfortable, and quiet. There were a lot of nice little touches like quality coffee and different ways of making it. Two things I appreciated: the bed was comfortable and the radiant heat in the floors let me keep the bedroom cool and the bathroom warm. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed there for a week of work. It was centrally located and close to everything we needed. The place was clean, comfortable and peaceful. Yes, we would like to do it again in the future.

This apartment was a great location for us. We’ll definitely be back.

Outstanding host with key features for an elegant and relaxing weekend with the partner. The coffee machine was stocked and ready. Lots of generous perfume and cologne for us to try from Heather. Awesome stay would come again !!

Very private and quiet space. There were stairs to get to the walk out basement which was the entrance for the apartment. The front of the house that you see as you enter the driveway is not the same as the picture of the whole house so there was some confusion if I was at the right place. Inside was very spacious and clean.

Such an amazing stay! Our original place canceled last minute and Caitlin’s place was so perfect for what we needed. So clean and so many useful amenities. Walking distance to the lifts and a great place to stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again:)

We loved our stay at Rachel’s place! The sauna was so nice. I was working remotely and the internet worked well. Rachel was so welcoming, helpful and communicative. She did so much to make our stay great. highly recommend! also love the location! thank you!!

The site is distinct and everything was close to me in the center of the city, while the place is clean and wonderful

We had a great stay at Troy ’s Airbnd . It is a beautiful place, immaculately clean and a brilliant location. I would book again. Troy was great at communicating with us and checked we were OK during our stay. I will definitely book again .Highly recommended!

This was a great place to stay. Easy everything from booking to check-in to check out.

This was an excellent fit for our family of four, with comfortable sleeping and hang-out space. Everything was extremely clean, and the environment welcoming and quiet. We enjoyed playing games at the kitchen table, having a well-equipped kitchen, laundry, and fitness room. We would love to be back when it's warmer to take advantage of the outdoor amenities and convenient walking location.

Lovely cabin that was perfect for our family! I would definitely come back!

We had a wonderful stay. The views were absolutely stunning. It was a perfect way to ring in the new year. Amy was very responsive, and the house was perfect. We hope to return one day.
