We stay here at least once a year, usually more. Sometimes just the two of us, sometimes with multiple teenagers in tow. The rooms are always clean and Val and Bob are wonderful about meeting our varying needs. The location is fabulous and we walk all over town. We don't usually eat breakfast here, because we love visiting the bakery... More

Strange as it may seem, Skaneateles and Christmas seem to go hand in hand. The town has a 4-week Dickens Christmas Festival, complete with characters from "A Christmas Carol", Queen Victoria and her entourage, and Charles Dickens himself who roam the streets or are featured at various times and places for speeches, caroling and enactments of scenes from "A Christmas...

We saw the owners once in 3 days (they were very nice and gave great history of the house) but they were only a phone call away if you needed something(we didn't). The room we stayed in had a kitchen... More

A sagging mattress, rusty bathroom sink, old textile furnishings in the bathroom, a so-so cold breakfast, were the things that bothered us most. It's location is excellent: walking distance to the...

It wasn’t the uninspiring cold continental breakfast of cereal and fruit or the kids in the suite who were running the floor above our heads at 5:00am. It wasn’t the volunteer fire siren that went off the next morning at 5:00am in the back yard and it wasn’t the tiny bathroom with the showerhead 4 feet up the wall that... More
