About this property

Charming 3-bedroom farmhouse in welcoming Skaneateles, short walk to village.

Welcome to Hidden Pond Farmhouse, a peaceful retreat nestled at the edge of Skaneateles village, the eastern gateway to NY's Finger Lake's region. This serene farmhouse offers a quiet escape yet is conveniently located less than a mile from downtown Skaneateles. Perfect for those who enjoy a home with the soul of a bygone era, Hidden Pond Farmhouse is your ideal getaway for relaxation and comfort. Experience the charm of the countryside with an easy walk into the village.

A short distance from our doorstep lies our charming lakeside village, where you can stroll historic streets filled with shops and restaurants. Whether you're seeking a delightful meal at a local eatery, a dinner boat cruise, or searching for a unique souvenir, our village offers a variety of memorable experiences.

Our lakes region is teeming with spectacular vistas, world class wineries, and opportunities for boating, fishing, hot air ballooning and more. Lakeside day dreaming is always a splendid option.

Please make yourself at home. Our cozy space is yours to relax and unwind in. Feel free to peek through the various cupboards scattered throughout the house during your stay. You might find a good book to read, a fun game to play, or a necessity for your comfort and convenience. We've stocked them with a variety of items to enhance your experience and make you feel right at home.

A highlight of our property is the serene walking path to the (truly) hidden pond located just behind the barn. The pond has long since disappeared, but memories of ice-skating parties in the winter still remain. You may prefer a morning walk to start your day or an evening wander under the stars, we invite you to enjoy this meditative green space.

We hope your stay at Hidden Pond Farmhouse brings you comfort, and lasting memories. Thank you for being our guest!

Labor Day Weekend Getaway
Well kept and furnished historic home with charm and character around ever corner. We loved our stay at this charming farmhouse. We enjoyed our many walks to town, the beautiful backyard and little walking trail. We were even surprised with a labor day parade which made our 10yr old very happy! We will definitely be staying here again. Our kids asked for it to be a labor day tradition. Plus! Our sons gf attends Syracuse and with it being about a 30 min drive, it is a perfect location for parents visiting their students.

I've lived most of my life in beautiful Skaneateles, and Hidden Pond Farm is my childhood home. This place holds countless memories for me. Though my parents have moved away, I'm thrilled to share this special spot with others who can now enjoy it as much as I have.

Why they chose this property

One of the best parts about growing up here was the proximity to Skaneateles Lake. I spent many summer days swimming, boating, and simply enjoying the breathtaking views. The lake has always been a place of peace and joy for me, and I love that my guests can experience that same serenity during their stay.
