Firepit & Trail Retreat | Skaneateles Farmhouse

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.

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.

Security: Exterior cameras monitor the outside of the property only — for your peace of mind.

Longer stays: We love hosting extended stays of 7+ nights. Send a message and we'll take good care of you.

Cleanliness: Professionally cleaned and sanitized using enhanced protocols before every arrival.
