The Reuel E. Smith House, also known as The Cove, located at 28 West Lake Street in Skaneateles, New York, is a picturesque house designed by Alexander Jackson Davis. It was built during 1848–1852 and is a "good example of the Gothic Revival mode, which was a reaction against the stringencies of the Greek Revival style". It is the only house designed by Davis in Onondaga County that has survived since the demolition of the Charles Sedgewick Cottage on James Street in Syracuse.
The house was photographed by Historic American Buildings Survey photographer Jack Boucher in 1962. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
