A week at the Lake
Our family enjoyed being together at the lodge for the week. Our goal was to try and stay all week without leaving to run around since we're from the area. And we were pretty successful, for the most part. The new tram was great for getting to and from the lake. The lake was beautiful, great for swimming and boating, and fishing. The Lodge was very nice. We enjoyed having a couple of fires in the outside fireplace and having all ten on us around the outside tables for dinner and games. The setting of the lodge is so peaceful making it easy to kick back and relax. All in all, we had a very good week, thank you,

Great secluded lake cabin
Ok, to be fair it is more than a cabin. The property has a lot of amenities and we took advantage of all of them. Well located to use as a base for exploring the area. Also very comfortable for just staying in and hanging out with friends and family. Highly recommend and would happily stay again. Finally, don’t let the road scare you. We had an all wheel drive and had no problem getting in or out.

Loved loved loved the outdoor area
After the initial shock of the driveway, yes 4 wheel definitely needed, we came upon the beautiful home. My husband, kids and their significant others and myself had a fabulous time rain or shine. The outdoor living area was perfect, lots of card games and dominoes and we enjoyed chopping wood and had a fire every day. Even during the storms and rain we loved being curled up, hunkered down by the fire. The outdoor shower was awesome. Cleaners probably loved us because our shower never got used. The hot tub was also wonderful and a must for us when renting and so easy to jump in the outdoor shower after. What a fabulous idea with the Piano Room!!! So unique and we took full advantage enjoying all the music while we were there. Also took some great videos rocking it out probably to my embarrassment. We highly recommend renting the pontoon. While we didn’t get to use as much as we had hoped we were glad to have it. The weather and water just wasn’t conducive for comfortable boating. We actually made the choice to turn around one day when hoping to venture to town for lunch. My son was a smart captain and didn’t want to take chances especially with his pregnant sister aboard :) We really loved the place and Mike made it very easy to check in and was very helpful. We hope to come back one day to take advantage of the lake and pontoon during the summer. Thank you for sharing your home Paul! ;) we counted 118 steps. Awesome workout each day!! Bottke Family

Great Getaway Location!
Very well maintained, beautiful modern cottage on the lake. The ONLY drawback was the the steep driveway and 102 stairs to get to the lake - BUT not unsurmountable. The benefits far outweigh those factors. Our group of 8-9 older women had a great time! You should definitely stay here.

Perfect Getaway
Paul’s lodge was absolutely beautiful. We came here for a bachelorette weekend and could not have picked a better spot. Paul was an amazing host. He was staying next door and offered his boat to us. The property manager Mike was so nice and helpful with answering all my questions right away and getting us to the property. 10/10

Great time at Paul’s lodge.
The property is beautiful and property manager was extremely helpful when getting onto the property, as the road is difficult to navigate. The boat that is available in the listing is shared by the another house and should be noted! Overall, our stay was fabulous and we would love to come back again. Thank you!

Amazing, tranquil place!
We had great communication from both the property owner and manager in advance of arrival and throughout our stay. We were well informed about places to go and eat. Mike, the property manager met us in a location close to the lodge and drove us in. The lodge is nestled on a hillside. Absolutely stunning!!! Mike answered any questions we had immediately and was super!! He definitely went above and beyond. We absolutely loved everything and the amenities! We would go back in a heartbeat!

Magnificent gem in the woods; Reminiscent of an adult tree house
Paul's lodge was truly a masterpiece set in the woods overlooking the lake. The views were breathtaking and the house was remarkable. We enjoyed fishing off the dock and relaxing/hanging out on the multiple decks. The outdoor spaces made this property one-of-a-kind; from the outdoor fireplace to the hot tub, outdoor shower, sauna, and variety of decks for everyone to explore and enjoy. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely rent the property again.

THE Best Family vacation!
Paul’s Lodge was The Perfect place for our family vacation. We had 8 adults and 3 kids and there was plenty of room for all of us. Mike (the caretaker) was very helpful and super knowledgeable about the area, he met us and brought us to the house. When they say you need 4 wheel drive, it is not a suggestion, it is absolutely true! It is a mile long, gravel, windy driveway which is steep in certain areas. Do Not let this deter you though from renting this secluded house. Although the inside is beautiful, we spent 95% of our time outside, taking showers in the outdoor shower, eating all our meals in the outdoor living area with a fire going every night, fishing on the dock (grandchildren were Super excited to catch fish), going down to the dock several times a day gave us our daily workout (seeing how there are 119 stairs each way), renting the pontoon boat (fishing and riding around relaxing), kicking back on any number of decks and reading a good book, and of course tasting the wines that are stocked from the local winery! There were excellent hikes to go on (Watkins Glen State Park), apple picking at Owens Orchard, and night Salmon fishing with Eric from Wilsey’sm Fins & Feathers Guide Service. We can not rave enough about Paul’s Lodge, it was an incredible week for our whole family! Thank you Paul for sharing your home with us!

Great lakeside getaway
Great outdoor entertaining area. Expansive deck - perfect for roasting s’mores at the fire and enjoyed the hot tub. As others mentioned, be sure to have all-wheel drive because it’s a challenge otherwise.

Excellent Vacation Retreat
Outstanding home that resulted in a wonderful family vacation. The immense outside deck with fireplace, TV, tables, lounge chairs and tables made each evening an event. I highly recommend renting from Paul. He and the property manager, Mike, were very communicative and extremely helpful. Be ready to get your steps in as there are about 100 stairs between the house then lakeside dock. But well worth the hike! Need 4WD to get down the rocky road.

Family week at Paul's Lodge
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paul's Lodge. The drive in is a little intimidating, but the Lodge was delightful. We rented the pontoon boat for the week and had a great time swimming and riding on the lake. The water is unbelievably clean and clear. The outdoor spaces are great - we ate outside every night and finished off with s'mores in the fireplace. We could all eat as much as we wanted after climbing the stairs to and from the water several times a day! The master bedroom suite is lovely. The other bedrooms were functional but small. We all enjoyed the outdoor shower on the lower deck! Our family agreed that we need a return trip to Lake Skaneateles!

Wonderful Lakeside Retreat
This property was a great a great way to enjoy the lake and all it offered. We also rented the boat for a week and it made our vacation that much more enjoyable. Everyone had a great time, even with a week of on and off again rain we were able to enjoy our time away. The covered hot tub and outdoor living space were perfect retreats for when we were unable to enjoy the lake. Great location and amenities with a caretaker that was very attentive to whatever needs arose during our stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Beautiful Lake
Our group was made up of 5 adults and 4 kids between the ages of 5 and 9. We had a nice stay at the lodge. The lake was gorgeous! The house itself was nice, but not quite as luxurious as it as described. We would have appreciate having somewhere to all hang out inside the house, as it rained quite a lot during our stay. The outside of the house is gorgeous and we did appreciate being right on the lake, and having the hot tub at the house. Overall we had a nice visit.

Beautiful house in a gorgeous location. Property manager was very helpful. Rented the boat and really enjoyed that. There were many amenities at the house to enjoy, especially the hot tub. Two negatives: 1. There were no access from house to walking trails. The location is beautiful. 2. Do not rent this house unless you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Extremely rough terrain.

BEAUTIFUL isn't enough
It is very evident that Paul and his care takers take great pride in this home! The caretake and his wife were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to help us! Since we rented a limo one of the days and it could not get down the driveway, Mike (caretaker) offered to have his wife pick us up and drive us to a meeting point with the limo, and then she came back hours later to drive us back down the driveway to the house! The outdoor living space is where we spent most of our time with a fire in the beautiful fireplace to keep us warm in the cool evenings. My one piece of advise for anyone looking to rent this home, listen to what they say about needing four wheel drive, this "driveway" is NO JOKE! very steep and I can only imagine how slippery it would be when wet! Thank God we rented an Expedition to get us down to the house!
