This elegant Queen Anne Victorian B&B is located in the heart of the village of Skaneateles; across the street from the lake; and one block from the quaint shops and restaurants. Built in 1894, each room is filled with antiques, hardwood floors and oriental rugs. Each guestroom features luxuriously thick mattresses the finest linens, as well as oversized and overly thick towels and robes. All baths are "En Suite" and vary between an old footed soaking tub and a modern shower. Guests love to watch the sunrise over Skaneateles lake; walk the village sidewalks past mansions of a bygone era; sail, play golf or watch a band concert in the park across the street while sitting on the wicker filled porch. Or curl up by the fire with a book from our extensive library. Enjoy a gourmet breakfast of baked German pancakes, "egg blossoms" or Belgium waffles prepared by your hostess and owner, Sandy Rademacher. Sandy's attention to detail is apparent in everything from the fresh flowers in each guestroom to the lace toilet paper holders from Portugal that are in each bath. For availability, please see the web site.

First time we stayed at a formal B&B... Very nice!
5 out of 5Wonderful Weekend Getaway
February 20, 2013
My partner and I have been apart for work quite a bit lately and decided to take a bit of a getaway this past weekend in Skaneateles. The Lady of the Lake was the perfect retreat! Although there are three guest rooms in the house, we were the only occupants from Wednesday to Sunday this past week, excepting another couple Saturday night (and even they came late and left early!). The rooms are very well apportioned and appointed. We were traveling with our dog, who was received with excitement rather than the reluctant acceptance you find many places, and there was more than enough room for his crate to fit comfortably in our room. He was also invited to roam the house as he pleased by the innkeeper, who was friendly and accommodating in every way. The breakfast provided was tailored to our tastes (fruit, yogurt, and granola), but we were offered everything from omelets to french toast if we so pleased. The breakfast time was tailored to our needs, just like every aspect of our stay. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone needing accommodations in the area!

Karen (and her dog) welcomed us with open arms and made us instantly feel at home. The Mary room was beautiful and the breakfast lucious. We were able to walk to the Sherwood Inn for our dinner which was also excellent. All-in-all, we enjoyed ourselves very much.

4.4 out of 5Wonderful get-a-way
October 13, 2012
Stayed here at "the Stella" room for 3 nights. The B&B is charming, Sandy and Barry, the owners are very knowledgeable and wonderful to sit and talk with. Chelsea, their black lab, is an extra treat to have around. Sandy's breakfasts were exceptional. This B&B has the best location in the area. At the tip and within view of the lake and all its glorious scenery, it also is right at the end of town within walking distance of shops, restaurante, etc. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to my friends and family.
4.4 out of 5Great Experience!

The location of the B&B and the quality of the Inn made it an outstanding value for the dollar.
