Fantastic Place

The house was easy to find, and in a great location easy to get into the town. Super clean, and having it be pet-friendly was awesome. It had everything you need for a kitchen, not the common barely enough.The owner was super responsive when we even had a small question on arrival.Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Folk Soul! It was everything we wanted, plus more! Comfortable and clean. Polished and cozy. Welcoming and warm. It's amazingly updated. The king bed was super comfortable. My husband and I laughed that we slept better at Folk Soul than at our own home. The location is perfect for going back and forth to town. We definitely recommend staying at Folk Soul!

Stayed in Skaneateles with my wife and German Shepherd while we were looking at properties in the area. Visted my son and daughter-in-law in Rochester one evening and this is a perfect central location for finger lake activities and maybe an evening or day trip to Rochester or Syracuse. The towns of Skaneateles and neighboring Auburn are great places to grab a bite and super close to the property. The house is clean and very comfortable and perfect for our stay. Had all of the amenities we needed and more. Beautifully decorated and large open space living and dining area. Great king bed. Very large property and lawn with a firepit surrounded by Adirondak chairs in the back bordering the next-door farm. The large lot is great for a well-behaved dog but East Lake Rd. is quite busy so attend to your pet if they wander. Great stay and property!
