Stroll the charming lakeside village where historic buildings house boutiques and cafes with water views. Spend mornings sailing crystal-clear Skaneateles Lake, then visit local wineries where staff pour generous samples of Finger Lakes vintages.
If you are looking for a nice place to stay near Syracuse, this is place is a very good choice! The house is beautiful and sweet like home, and the breakfast is pretty delicious. There are some good restaurants nearby too, so don't need to worry about where to have dinners.
The only thing is that they really need to fix the front door of the room I stay (first floor). I couldn't open it from inside at first, then I couldn't lock it from outside. Something must be wrong with the electric...

The location, of course, makes it a standout, as well as the attention to detail. The decor is thoughtful--beautiful and welcoming. Anna and Renee were warm and attentive innkeepers. And COVID regulations were very good. I stayed in room #9, which was fully outfitted in Mackenzie Child. It had a lake view and was quite cozy and comfortable. I would like to return in a warmer season to better experience the lake. If I had to name one negative, it's that the water pressure was pretty weak in the...

Amazing B&B! Right across form the lake. The most amazing host (Clark) ever!! So responsive. Very knowledgeable about the area. Offered recommendations and concierge service. Emailed me recs before arrival.
Tailored breakfast to all your dietary needs/concerns. Always available by text for any issues. Felt like I was at home and like I'd known him for years! He clearly loves what he does!
Room was super clean. Had a Keurig, wine glasses, cork screw, water in the fridge, air...

This is a beautiful property, it is like staying in a historical mansion. We stayed in a king suite and the room was huge and very nice. Continental breakfast was simple and sufficient, great experience overall. We had an emergency situation at home (12 hrs away) and the manager was extremely helpful in working with us so that we could leave a day early. Would definitely recommend this hotel…close to Skeaneatles and the lake.

The room and bathroom were spotless and spacious. The bed was super comfortable. Keurig provided in room and 24 hr hot coffee/tea bar in the lobby, which was also super clean. Did not wake up in time for breakfast so unsure what is served but it is included. All the staff were so nice and welcoming - especially the night desk attendant! The area felt safe and is a very convenient location. The only thing that could be annoying for some is the traffic sounds as it's near the Thruway and Airport,...

Everyone there was very friendly . The room was spacious and clean . It sets back off the busy road so it’s quiet which is nice. We will definitely stay there again when we come to visit our son .

The hotel is updated, modern very clean. Our room was specious, but lacked a few comforts that most hotels offer such as a coffee maker and comfortable chairs to use while relaxing in the room. The room was more than big enough to add a couch or comfortable chair. All they have is a metal uncomfortable office style seat. No coffee in the room or microwave which for me brings my rating down. I do not want to have to get dressed and make my way to the lobby for my first cup of coffee! Staff...
