With a premium location overlooking Skaneateles Lake, Aunt Louise's Lake House provides a relaxing get-away. Lake view porches and parklike lawns are waiting for you. Step inside this romantic inn and be embraced by the elegance and charm of the post and beam 1840 home. Come and enjoy the original wooden floors, a beautiful oversized fireplace, a vintage footed tub and other reminders of yesteryear. After a night of sweet dreams in one of the romantic bedrooms, wake up to the aroma of breakfast being prepared; perhaps coddled eggs, an artichoke quiche or creme Brule French toast. Savor another cup of coffee on the patio as you are surrounded by colorful flower gardens. Views of Skaneateles Lake are a special delight. Take a relaxing 3 1/2 mile drive along the lake to the tree lined streets of the village. Stroll along the brick walks for shopping and dining in this quaint beautifully preserved community.

If your looking for a quiet getaway in a great atmosphere, this is the spot. We visited for a V-day getaway with another couple and couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. Aunt Louise and Dale tended to everything to keep us comfortable and are fantastic chef's. The meals were perfect and a great way to begin each day. Looking forward to doing it again soon.
3.6 out of 5Our First Stay at Aunt Louise's December 7-9, 2012
December 12, 2012
This was our first stay at Aunt Louise's and our second overnighter in Skaneatelas. We have visted on previous occasions and are familiar with the area. Aunt Louise's is a very quaint and charming Inn and although our stay was short, Louise and Dale were very friendly and made us feel at home. We arrived Friday evening and due to family committments had to leave well before breakfast on Sunday (Dale made sure that the coffee was ready for us). Our breakfast with the other guests on Saturday was enjoyable. The Inn is a few miles outside of town and the grounds are lovely. There was a great view of the lake from our room ("Treetops") across the road. The bathroom was large, but as with most B&B's we've stayed at could use some additional counterspace for toiletries. Would like to stay here in the warmer months in order to enjoy all it has to offer.

My wife and I spent two days at Aunt Louise's and had a really great time. Our hosts were exremely gracious and accomodating. Breakfast was superb and the coffee, oh the coffee! The next time we plan to stay in Skaneateles we will definitely be giving Aunt Louise a call. Dave & Karen Costello
4.6 out of 5A short, but delightful stay
September 18, 2012
Louise and Dale are absolutely wonderful hosts and treated both my wife and I as honored house guests. Their home is very comfortable and the accommodations the same. Breakfast was delightful...Louise takes great pride in her cuisine and quite frankly, we enjoyed our single night stay immensely. Would highly recommend.

Signature Dish
Coddled Eggs
Beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. The eggs are prepared and served in vintage English coddlers. The eggs are similar to poached eggs, but more delicatly cooked and more delectable to eat. They are made more perfect when served with toasted English muffins. After this breakfast, guests are on a mission to nearby antique shops hoping to buy egg coddlers to take home.Special meal options
