Description
Privately set on a quiet street, this bright, modern home gives you and your group the rare feeling of complete seclusion — a firepit for evening gatherings, a private 0.75-mile trail on the property, and a fully private lot — with the charm of Skaneateles Village just a mile down the road.
Lovingly renovated and flooded with natural light, the home comfortably sleeps 8 across four beautifully designed bedrooms and two distinct living areas. It's calm, it's spacious, and it's entirely yours.
The space
Lovingly renovated and filled with natural light, this home offers a perfect blend of modern comfort and tranquil country living for up to 8 guests.
The home features two distinct living areas:
• A bright and spacious TV sunroom with an electric fireplace, and a dining area perfect for gatherings.
• A cozy living area on the main floor for your early morning cuppa.
From the moment you walk in, you'll feel the difference between staying somewhere and actually settling in.
The open-plan living and dining room is built for the whole group — spacious, bright, with easy flow to the kitchen and the deck outside. Part of the expansive TV sunroom with its electric fireplace, this room doubles up as your retreat: the kind of room you stumble into after dinner and don't leave for hours.
The gourmet kitchen is genuinely beautiful — modern two-tone cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, and everything a home cook needs. Enjoy meals in the all-season sunroom, or take it outside to the spacious deck with the gas grill ready to go.
Outside, elevated
The private lot is where this home sets itself apart. Gather around the firepit for slow evenings and s'mores under the stars, or wander the quiet 0.75-mile trail that winds through the property — perfect for a morning walk, letting the little ones burn some energy, or simply getting outside without leaving home. The deck opens onto a private yard framed by trees: the kind of stillness that's hard to find, and easy to get used to.
Bedrooms
All four bedrooms are individually styled with thoughtful decor and quality linens.
Bedroom 1 · 1st floor · Queen bed
The only first-floor bedroom — convenient for guests who prefer easy access yet want their privacy.
Bedroom 2 · 2nd floor · Queen bed
Warm, welcoming, and well-lit. Full-length mirror, restful tones, easy to settle into.
Bedroom 3 · 2nd floor · Queen bed
Bright and serene. Everything you need, nothing in the way.
Bedroom 4 · 2nd floor · Two twin beds
The flexible room. The room with the desk. Great for kids or friends sharing. A dedicated desk. Perfect for anyone working remotely or needing a quiet space of their own.

Other things to note
Yard: Our private, expansive yard is well set back from the road and perfect for kids to explore. As it's not fully fenced, we just ask that parents keep an eye on young ones during outdoor play.

Great stay for a group of 8
Great stay for a group of 8 of us in town for a wedding! Only complaint is that the AC does not reach the main living room or upstairs very well. We were there at the end of July so it was quite warm.
Stayed September, 2026
Thank you so much for your kind 5-star review! We are thrilled your group enjoyed the farmhouse and had a great stay for the wedding.
We also appreciate the feedback about the warmth during your visit. The main living room is a sunroom and on particularly hot summer days it could get warmer than the rest of the house, and we provide portable fans throughout the home for additional comfort. Regarding the upstairs , it’s possible that one of the floor vents in a room was inadvertently closed. Had we known about it during your stay, we would have been happy to help troubleshoot it right away.
Thank you again for staying with us and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
Highly recommend this home!
Highly recommend this home! My family stayed here for a wedding and other events over the weekend, and we had a wonderful experience. The house was immaculate, and we felt very comfortable and at ease throughout our stay.
The location was perfect for us, just a short drive from both the wedding venue and the village. Unfortunately, we didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the deck and fire pit, but the yard was very pleasant and serene, and we wish we had more time to take advantage of those amenities.
Ronnie is an excellent host. He reached out before check-in and emphasized that we should not hesitate to contact him with any questions or concerns. His communication was prompt and welcoming.
We would definitely stay here again!

The listing was exactly as described
We had a wonderful time! The listing was exactly as described, the house was clean and comfortable. Our son loved the swing and the walking trail. Ronnie was very helpful and friendly. If we came back to the Skaneatles area we would definitely try to book again. Thank you!

Beautiful remote setting and less than five minutes to town center
Ronnie’s place was a dream. Perfectly suitable for our eight guests. The close proximity to our Son’s wedding in town was an easy commute. Beautiful remote setting and less than five minutes to town center. Ronnie’s home was by far the cleanest airbnb we have ever stayed at. The cleaning staff does an exceptional job. Kudos to them! The home is spacious and never felt crowded. I wish we could have enjoyed the huge outdoors, trail, fire pit and surroundings, but our time there was limited. Communication with Ronnie, before and during, was spot on. Never more than a five minute response time. You can’t go wrong with this home. LOVED IT!! Hopefully we can go back sometime.

Clean and comfortable
The stay was very nice and everything was as expected. Highly recommended for a clean & comfortable home close to the amenities of Skaneateles.

Incredible location
Ronnie was so responsive every time we reached out - he even let us check in a little early. The home was exactly as pictured and comfortably fit all 7 of us (4 adults 3 kids). My kids loved running around in the backyard and playing on the swing. The home has an incredible location and walkable to everything in town. Would stay again for sure!

Just as described except better!
Everything was just as described except better! The location feels like you are out in the middle of nowhere yet you are close to the village, less than a mile, and close to Syracuse. The property was very clean and the house was very tidy. Ronnie was very open with communication before and during the stay. From check in instructions prior to the stay to communication each day to ensure our needs were met Ronnie was always helpful and quick to respond. The best part for us is that all of our needs/ expectations were met already.
The house setup was great with one bedroom on the first floor and three upstairs; with a full bathroom on each floor.
I have already told multiple people of Ronnie’s property and how amazing it was for our stay. I would 100% recommend this property for your stay.
Stayed June, 2026
The perfect place for a Skaneateles getaway.
This home is the perfect place for a Skaneateles getaway. It is well appointed with all the comforts of home. We had a relaxing stay in large part due to Ronnie’s communication, professionalism and responsiveness! You cannot go wrong staying in this home!
