  • Inn Details

    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.

    We have stayed at the Lady of the Lake Bed and Breakfast two times and both stays were truly outstanding. Sandy and Karen made us feel right at home. Breakfast was delicious, complete with homemade breads and coffeecake. The location is ideal, in walking distance to shopping and dining. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Great place to stay while visiting Skaneatlas

    Decided to stay here due to its convenience to some business meetings I had. The Sherwood Inn, where a business dinner with alcohol was occurring, was right across the street, so the walkability made this an obvious choice. Turned out to also be a great choice. Sandra was friendly and efficient. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable (I stayed in the Stella). I asked for breakfast at an earlier time than usual, since I had meetings in the morning, and this was done without issue. The breakfast, which was served in the dining room, was delicious. Most importantly, the king size bed was very comfortable with great pillows. I literally have no complaints at all. I will stay here when I am in the area, for business or pleasure.

    We were so pleased with our stay - the home was warm and inviting as was the hostess. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Internet service was not great, but that was our only complaint. Wonderful visit and we would return.
