The property was exactly as described. Beautiful lake, beautiful cabin, great boat, beautiful setting. The driveway was a bit scary (for me) but the actual drivers were fine with it. Never used the hot tub or charcoal grill so I don't have an opinion on them. Kitchen table was great for nightly card games. Nightly campfires were awesome. Outside furniture was very good.
Pauls lake house was spectacular. The house had everything we were looking for. Paul also was kind enough to rent his pontoon boat to us for a few days.
Annual girls weekend for 5. This was a new location this year instead of the beach...The serene surroundings were perfect, a little chill in the air and the town of Skaneatles is charming. Basement bedroom did not have adequate heater flow and the overall cabin needed a good clean and some recaulking but we enjoyed the rustic accommodations. Thank you for a great getaway.
Beautiful spot on a beautiful lake. Paul is an excellent host with great communication and his caretaker Mike is absolutely fantastic. The home is clean and comfortable with lots of different spaces to hang out in. Our group loved being on the lake every day, enjoying all it had to offer. Many great memories were made!
Paul's Cabin was a fantastic find for a Fall getaway on VRBO! Various living levels with a fantastic view overlooking the lake and lots of great space for the family. There is a mile long drive on dirt road to access cabin, so need to be prepared for that, but that just adds to the experience! Close enough to town (20 min) Well equipped, great hot tub and amenities. Caretaker Mike is very accessible for any questions/issues that may arise. Had a fantastic time with the family, it's a hidden gem!!
We had an amazing time at Paulâs cabin. The lake was spectacular. We rented the boat for the week and had the best time on the water. What a relaxing week. đ
The cabin is beautiful, especially the covered, multi-level decks, which are wide enough to enjoy even when the weather turns rainy. The check-in process requires more coordination than the typical rental because Paul is absolutely right not to have guests find it on their own the first time. The property manager was very helpful answering questions before we drove up so we brought the right things (and left our sea kayaks home) and met up with him to guide us to the house and show us around. He made sure the twin beds on the lower level were pushed together for my son and his wife. What I didnât realize is they were a little short for my 6â tall son. They also would have appreciated a full door instead of saloon doors on that bedroom. We rented Paulâs pontoon boat for the week and had a great time with that, exploring the lake, trying our hand at fishing, watching the bald eagles in their nest at the south end of the lake, and tying up at the north end to explore town. We appreciated that some firewood was left on the porch for us - with such a rainy spring it was a real help with the fire pit.There are few biting bugs despite being set in the woods. Tons of steps to get down to the water and back, but the boardwalks and steps are in excellent shape, and the water is as clean and clear as promised. Itâs also super-cold this time of year! Nice grocery store and restaurants in charming town, about 30-min drive. Nice hikes and waterfalls also w/in half-hour drive.
We had an awesome 4th of July week at Paulâs cabin!! We came last year for a long weekend and booked for a full week this summer. The location is great (secluded in the woods with beautiful lake front views), and we loved the dock and boat. We read a previous review that the hot tub wasnât working, and asked Paul about it who was very responsive and had it fixed and working perfectly for our trip. We couldnât get our daughter out of it!
Loved the campfires at night and hiking up the road in the mornings. Iâm sure we will be back! Highly recommend.
The house was beautiful plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. The lake was extremely clear and enjoyed the awesome sunsets.
The commute down to the cabin was a bite scary at first but became fun and adventurous for the drive up and down to cabin.
We were a little upset that there was no TV how every our family enjoyed the spend with each other. WiFi worked great.
We would highly recommend for families who want to spend quality time alone.
Once again like to Graduate My Son and Paul for their achievements.
We had beautiful weather and enjoyed the incredible views from all levels of the house. Fire pit made for a fun first night celebration. A little disappointed that the hot tub was not in working order and we were not notified about it. Also instructions for wifi did not work and manager did not return our call.
Phenomenal property in a secluded location right on the lake--couldn't ask for more! The cabin truly is a gem. Looking forward to staying here again in the future!
Paul's cabin was a great place to stay on a beautiful lake. Skaneateles is a wonderful place and staying at Paul's cabin made the trip an experience to remember.
This was our first family vacation since our children were little. The cabin was perfect for us. There was plenty of room to gather both inside and out. The trip down to and up from the lake was a bit challenging as was the drive in, but that said it was wonderful to have family time in a beautiful setting!
Thank you Paul and crew!

Amazing property towards the south end of skaneateles lake. Right on the water with all of the amenities you need to cook, grill and relax in the hot tub after enjoying a day on one of the cleanest lakes in the country. We look forward to being back next year!
What a magical cabin in the woods! We were so impressed with the indoor and outdoor living spaces. We spent most of our time outside, on the deck, on the dock, at the fire pit, in the hot tub and, of course, on the lake. Driveway was definitely a challenge. Also have to mention the property manager, Mike. Mike went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect!
Wonderful log cabin home on crystal clear Skaneateles lake. Paulâs cabin is beautiful and very well equipped. We especially enjoyed the brand new smoker. The house comes with just about everything you need. Would definitely recommend 4-wheel drive and plan your groceries so you minimize trips in and out. You wonât want to leave the lake and the property!
We stayed for a week over the 4th of July. The place was absolutely amazing. Very relaxing and a ton of space. We had three adults and three children, plenty of room for everyone. Paul the owner was very nice, just and outstanding guy. Mike the property manager was very attentive, also a super nice guy. We will be back to stay again soon!
Amazing property, very secluded and right on the lake. Multi-level deck with hot tub, rocking chairs, fire pit and dock on the water. Our family had a great time here and looking forward to coming back again!
Only wish there were curtains on the windows and better doors for the bedrooms.
