Upscale Adirondack inspired Evan's Lodge - Skaneateles-1.5 mile drive to Village

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the beauty, serenity and splendor of The Evan's Lodge. This beautiful, 4500 square foot lodge style home is situated in Skaneateles on Main Street just a 1.5 miles east of Skaneateles downtown center. With downtown Skaneateles under a two minute drive away, you have the best of both worlds, peace and tranquility and Skaneateles downtown center at your fingertips!

This magnificent home sits on over 50 private, beautiful acres. The Evan's Lodge and the location are reminiscent of the Adirondacks while just up the road from downtown! It is a stately craftsman style lodge that has been renovated top to bottom, professionally interior designed with plenty of room for families to gather or have their separate quiet areas. It is 6 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 kitchens and 4 1/2 bathrooms over three levels.

The main level has a gorgeous kitchen with granite counter tops and an open floor plan to the living room. There is plenty of seating with a formal dining room that seats 8 people, a morning room that seats 6 people and a kitchen island that seats 4 people. There is a wet bar in the main level living room with granite counter tops and a wine refrigerator. The main living room has beautiful cathedral ceilings and a warm and cozy fireplace for those chilly autumn and winter nights. There is also a main level master bathroom with a gorgeous master bathroom suite and walk in closet. The second level has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. All full bathrooms have beautiful tile surrounds with granite counter tops. The second level bathrooms and lower level bathroom all have heated tile floors. The lower level walk out has two more bedrooms, a spacious living room and a kitchenette with granite counter tops and wine refrigerator. There is a spacious deck on the main level and there is also a beautiful stone fire pit in the fenced in backyard . We welcome you to be our guests at The Evan's Lodge and to start making memories that will last a lifetime!

Perfect home for our group of ten!
Plenty of bedrooms, beds and bathrooms. Downstairs/walk-out set-up is very nice. (Note: A small set of dishes would have been nice to have downstairs.) Main kitchen had everything necessary for meals. Home was very clean. Location was pretty and secluded, yet very close to town.

We were 10 female cousins coming from Rochester & PA in our 60's and 70's and I can't say enough about this beautiful home. It lived up to all expectations from cleanliness, layout, decor, kitchen fully stocked &TV's in every room! Communication was great and they came right down when we had questions on programming the TV. I would not hesitate to recommend this property or return again

Fantastic New Years Eve at Evans Lodge
Evans Lodge is a beautiful well-appointed home in one of our favorite towns - Skaneateles! We are a group of couples who are long-time friends and this was one of our best New Years’ together. The Lodge was beautifully decorated and had more than everything we needed. All the bedrooms were spacious and wonderful and it was great having 4 1/2 bathrooms! The main floor living space was perfect for us all to hang out, cook, play games, watch football and be together. Plenty of room to spread out but still cozy. The lower level also had a great living space for playing cards and watching more football - there was even a large kitchenette with a second refrigerator, microwave etc. It was cold but still lots of fun having a fire in the firepit - nice fenced in backyard with plenty of Adirondack chair seating for us all. Evans Lodge was exactly what we hoped it would be and more! Many were commenting that it was the nicest rental home they had ever been to. We hope to come back for another celebration soon!

Perfect home for wedding group
This house is everything it says it is and more! Beautiful, spacious, and a great back yard for grilling, having a fire pit, and spending time together. Debbie was a great host, as our family and friends in our bridal party spent the weekend with us in this house. Skaneateles lake is just a few short minutes away. Would highly recommend this vacation home!

Comfort and convenience plus more!
Our family of 10 has been renting homes in Skaneateles for four years. Evan’s Lodge was the favorite. Well designed and well appointed modern home with a comfortable feel inside and out. And only a 5 minute drive to the lake for swimming at the public swimming dock entrance and nearby restaurants and shopping.

Multi Generational Family Getaway
We enjoyed all that the property and the region in and around Skaneateles had to offer. The property was immaculate, provided plenty of space to be together but also for each family member to be able to spend quiet time alone if so desired. The kitchen was more than fully stocked and we enjoyed cooking some meals together. Our time was filled with laughter, lots of games, visits to town and all the wonderful shops, golf, and day trips to Cooperstown and Seneca Falls. And, I can't forget the afternoon on the pontoon boat! It was a wonderful family trip with many wonderful memories!

Evan’s Lodge review
We all truly enjoyed our stay. Just a couple of things that I want to mention. 1. The entrance off highway was not clearly marked as well as an entrance chained off. Perhaps something like a star, big E or something to indicate where to go to find house. 2. Stink bugs were a huge problem in an upstairs bedroom, one in the right. Easily 25-30 of them over the time we were there, several in the bed linens. 3. Shower in the main floor suite was very hard to turn on. I know you received a call in that. Maybe a small note in that room with details on how to turn on. 4. Perhaps a bagel slicer in the main kitchen. No one got cut but injuries from cutting bagels are #1 in offices. ( I was director of a 30 room American Cancer Society Hope Lodge in Rochester. Open 24/7/365 providing free lodging to cancer patients and caregivers. I have heard and seen it all.) Those are our only comments other than we had a terrific time!

Adult family getaway
Each year, the adults in our family get away for a week. This rental was perfect for 12 adults (and a dog) enjoying day trips out to the lake and wine country to return home for dinner, games and fire-pit evenings. Deb made everything easy by providing written instructions and phone numbers if we needed her. She was also helpful in planning ahead.

Huge house perfect for big group!
We were three couples with children in tow and this place was great! We were able to spread out and have space but also all gather to hang out. The kitchen was well equipped. Loved access to the grill and stocked fire pit. Bring bug spray! Having a washer and dryer was amazing. Two kitchens, two hangout areas, it was amazing. Super convenient to town. We rented a pontoon boat, went hiking to the waterfalls and hit the downtown swimming area. It was convenient to Syracuse airport (flew direct from Dallas, Tx) and our friends had an easy drive from Pennsylvania. All in all an amazing stay and would recommend.

The property was lovely- secluded and spacious, with lots of land. The house is located on the grounds of a non-functioning motel, so it is a bit tricky to find, but it is truly a hidden gem. The home is very large and spacious with multiple levels so it could easily accommodate more than one family

My fiancé is from Skaneateles but we live in Cleveland. We have a 6 month old baby boy. We took the baby along with my immediate family to see my fiancés hometown and to meet some of his family. This was an amazing trip and we couldn’t have had a better home to stay in while we were in town.
