I recently spent a weekend at the Arbor House, I rented three rooms for my family to come and stay in Skaneatles to enjoy the Dickens Christmas Festival. The rooms were beautifully decorated, and extremly clean, a gas fireplace in each bedroom added to the festive mood of the weekend. Wayne the owner, was told that I was celebrating Christmas with my family from down state and he kindly decorated the Bella Rose suite that I was staying in with a beautiful Christmas Tree and decorations, placed throughout the suite. The kitchen in this suite is certainly top of the line cabinetry and granite tops. It also has a dining area with table and chairs and hutch, that makes this suite so cozy and warm. The following morning breakfast was delicious. The staff are so courteous and accomodating. My family enjoyed the entire experience that we have decided to make the Arbor House our new family Christmas traditions. I highly recommend this Inn which is so idealy located in the heart of the beautiful village of Skaneatles.

I was not impressed with the facility. The living room was small and had outdated furnishings, with only 1 chair and 1 sofa. The dining room was cramped, with several wobbly chairs. One actually broke when a person in our group sat down. The older, main building needed some sprucing up - except for the wrap-around porch which was very nice. The newer, remodeled barn building was very nice with newer, nicer furnishings. The breakfast was not what I have experienced at other B&B's. The entrees were casserole-based, small portions, and nothing exceptional. They appeared to have been made in advance and heated up for the individual portions. The only fresh fruits were apples and bananas. You could tell the women serving the food were employees and not "innkeepers."

My wife and I stayed in Sept of 06 to catch Pitt play Syracuse. It was our first time at a B&B and i wasn't sure if I would like it so, we planned friday night there and Sat at the embassy suites in cuse. I wished we stayed both night at the Arbor house. It was a million times better from everything for cleanliness to service and value. We couldn't ask for a better stay. I will be staying there again when Pitt plays against cuse again

Charming, very clean - great little porch. Convenient location near restaurants, grocery, pharmacy, town and lake. They kindly accomodated our baby and toddler though B&B's are not really designed around kids. Breakfast was good, not great.

So comfortable and relaxing. After our Brunch cruise we stopped at a place for a drink and came back to read and relax before dinner. Breakfast was very good. We will be back
