    We had a quick overnight stay and had a lovely experience. Check in/check out was easy, the room was nice, spacious and clean. They provided a few free snacks and drinks which was a nice touch. The bed was comfy and we didn't hear much street noise. Super close to all the shops and restaurants and lakeside attractions. Easy parking in a lot instead of on the street. Great stay!

    Not really a "hotel", just a old house converted into a handful of suites, each with bedroom and bathroom. Easy to park, I was texted a key code for the front door and my room door before I arrived. Large room with everything needed for a stay, including a great bathroom and very comfortable bed. Easy walk to all the shops and restaurants downtown. Basic items for provided for breakfast and snacks.

    It was clean and had all the necessary space while it did not have lots of “stuff” some places have that you have to move somewhere in order to have room for our own things. That was a plus! Perfect for a couples weekend. Would be nice to have another shelf in the bathroom. The complimentary snacks and water were especially nice. Other than that we really enjoyed your hotel and will use again if the opportunity arises.

    While the room was clean and comfortable, this is recently renovated property is not my idea of a boutique hotel. The room was completely plain, painted all in white with not a single decoration, and furnishings were spare. Our room was designated handicap-accessible, and did have a walk-in/roll-in shower, but an individual using a wheelchair would not have been able to use the closet or desk or easily reach wall switches or outlets. While contactless check-in and check-out has its benefits, there was no apparent option for interaction with a human, which also seems weird for a "boutique" property. It's a great location for walking around Skaneateles and the price is fair for what you get (including some snacks and beverages), as long as you don't mind vanilla.

    We loved this hotel! It is so cute and rustic and cozy. Very clean. Super friendly staff! The best part is that it is super close to all of the Skaneateles village...we could walk easily to all the restaurants and shops. We only had to drive once, to the winery. Parking behind the property. We had the room with the mini fridge and jetted tub. It was perfect! There's also a kitchen on the second floor, with a sink, fridge and washer and dryer. Along with silverware, glasses etc..that you can use...and ice, snacks and a few beverages that are complimentary. We will definitely be back!

    This was the most "low-key" hotel I've ever stayed in, which was perfect for us. (but maybe not for others) Barely saw or spoke to anyone. Walked into town for the local bakery, visited a pub up the black, perfect. I didn't realize the snacks and bevs in our room were complimentary until we were leaving, so I'll know better next time. If i return to town I'm staying here again.
