Experience Skaneateles

Known as the “eastern gateway to the Finger Lakes,” the historic village of Skaneateles is located on the north shore of Skaneateles Lake, one of the cleanest and most beautiful bodies of water in the world. Conveniently located just a short drive from the NY State Thruway and Syracuse’s Hancock International Airport, Skaneateles is a community of rare charm with lovely old homes, quaint shops and galleries. The many dining establishments in the area have a reputation for superb quality and variety. Skaneateles has been a vacation spot for the First Family of the United States as well as many other families for years and years. There are many things to see and do, including a scenic boat cruise around the lake, a chamber music concert hosted by the Skaneateles Festival or a visit to the historic Creamery building to view Skaneateles artifacts. Also, rent a boat to see the lake on your own, enjoy lakeside concerts in Clift Park just across from Packwood House and polo games on summer weekends. Experience the FallFest, Dickens’ Christmas, WinterFest, hockey and skating at Allyn Arena, and downhill or cross country skiing at nearby trails during the fall and winter months. There is no shortage of activity for guests looking for adventure, and no better place to just sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery.
