We stayed for two nights in the master suite, which had an attached private bathroom. The decor was charming, with beautiful linens and incredible artwork on every wall, which were painted by our host. There were chandeliers in nearly every room. The bathroom was clean and modern with an abundance of towels and some toiletries. The fireplace was digitally powered and such a treat when it got chilly at night. Guests were free to lounge in the sitting areas throughout the house. The main living room had an impressive library of books. Breakfast was served at 9am. Our host was so doting and served us on lovely china. She offered fresh berries, homemade cream, scrambled eggs, bacon, french toast, and buttered toast. WiFi was fast and our room had a smart TV. The place was not spotless. A bit of dust and bugs here and there, but it was comfortable and the host was delightfully kind and welcoming. Definitely a gem for any traveler in the area.

Our hostess left us a list of instructions and tips and was very quiet and respectful of our privacy. We could call her if anything went wrong, but otherwise, I didn't actually see her. I wouldn't have been opposed to this though because I wanted to thank her! Katie, our host, created an incredible breakfast bar. There was Oui yogurt, hard boiled eggs, fresh fruit, cheese, a variety of cereal, oatmeal, milk, orange juice, coffee, and tea. She had also generously stocked cookies from a bakery, granola bars, bags of nuts, biscotti, and other easy-to-grab snacks. Our suite was beautiful. My pictures don't really do it justice, but there were two chairs, a drawer, table, and a TV in one side, and everything we needed for a bedroom on the other. Katie also provided luxurious bathrobes and luxury shampoo and conditioner (TeaTree). We also had access to the dining room and living room, which made it feel like we had a home away from home. One of my favorite parts of the house though was the front porch, which contained two swings and two chairs. I loved starting my morning on the covered porch and will have a hard time leaving that behind. The location is incredible, allowing us to walk to the lake, restaurants, and any shops we wanted to visit. Katie was the perfect host. The decor was stunning and our experience couldn't have been better.

We were on a fast trip for a wedding and allowed us only to spend two nights at 34 State. We so appreciated Katie & Jack's kindness, hospitality and helpfulness. Not to mention getting kisses from their beautiful lab, Oakley. We stayed in the elegant Barrow Suite. It's on the second floor as is their other suite, but they are working on a suite on the first floor for those with problems walking up stairs. Continental breakfast awaited us every morning as a fridge stocked with yogurt, fresh fruit, beer and many more items. I commented they were out of water and upon our return, not only was the fridge fully restocked, but a note with a special touch was provided. It is within walking distance to downtown Skaneateles without staying right in the middle of the main road. There is a big dinning room and living room, along with a beautiful porch with a swing to spend the afternoons drinking a cocktail. They attend to every need you may have i.e. reservations to restaurants and will follow up with restaurant to make sure you had a great experience and the best table. We look forward to our next trip and without a doubt where we will stay!

Great breakfasts! And Sabina and my wife enjoyed swapping pet stories as the Inn's resident pup who's now up in years still makes his way around to greet guests. She even told me (as a biker who rode in) that while she didn't like the noise of motorcyles, that bikers were typically her neatest and cleanest guests :) I hope I met expectations! Lastly, the grounds are tranquil day or night, and the newborn fawn in the garden just made the stay extra special! Some suggestions we left with Sabina: Ceiling fans would be a good addition to the rooms. Although the inn has central air, on this warm humid May weekend some air circulation in the room above the set house temp would have been good. Still - Sabina gave us a fan for the room and lowered the temperature a bit for our second night there! Also, considering it is wine country, I'd suggest individual refrigerators for each room as opposed to one shared mini-fridge for all the guests to share. Guests should also be aware that if you chose a room in the font of the house that the occasional late night truck traffic on US 20 may disturb the lighter sleeper. Those points asiide, I'd agree with our breakfast mate who has stayed at the inn 3 times.... deffiinitely a repeat if we're back in the area!

Hannum House is right next door to the lovely Sherwood Inn where we dined one night and had breakfast every morning.

Mind you, my wife and I are retired teachers and not high rollers, but are treated like millionaires every time we go there. We next had a spectacular lunch at the Sherwood Inn, again treated like we were the most important people in the world. After lunch, we moved in to our room. It is without a doubt, the most gorgeous room we have ever stayed in. Everything, including a spectacular bathroom is world class. Our stay was wonderful, made so nice by Sherwood Inn workers. A special shout-out to Chad, Robin, the breakfast crew, and all the ladies at the front-desk. We certainly will return to our favorite place!

We had never stayed at a bed and breakfast and weren't sure what to expect. This place exceeded our expectations. The mansion itself is beautiful.

Each morning there was coffee waiting or us outside our door on a beautifully arranged tray. Then we went down to breakfast. I hate to repeat myself but the table was also beautifully arranged. We tried several different dishes during our stay, each one delicious. Our host, John and Rebecca, were there for our every need, without being intrusive. After running around all day It was so relaxing to return to our room each night. We asked several relatives to stop by and see the place. Our Aunt was thrilled as she had driven by hundreds of times and never been inside. She was not disappointed. One extra point. They have a friendly dog named Riley who helped us forget how much we missed our own pets. We plan to return here each time we return to Syracuse.

I've only been a guest of the spa itself, though I'd consider going back to stay for at least a…read morenight or two. A close friend gave me a gift certificate a number of years ago (2019) and I just got to actually use it 2026). The first attempt at using the gift certificate (2023) didn't go so well, and the employee I spoke with while booking my spa reservation at the time charged my credit card in full for the appointment - not only before I ever had my appointment itself (the credit card is supposed to just go on file to hold the appointment), but knowing that I would be using a gift certificate to cover the entire cost of my appointment. The date/time was also input incorrectly, as was the location (the person made my appointment for the Plymouth, MA location when I has specified the Skaneateles, NY location) and in frustration I ended up canceling entirely. It was quite an annoyance to sort through and I was issued a new gift certificate number via email. That's what I ended up bringing with me to my new appointment. All that said, I still had the new gift certificate number - and $300 to use. My reason for making my most recent appointment was because I had been dealing with neck/shoulder tightness for about a week and a half (at the time of making my appointment) and all I could think was that MAYBE a massage would help loosen some of the tightness. I scheduled a 50 minute signature massage with "Hot Stone Melter Enhancement & Divine Hair & Scalp Ritual". Mind you, I've had plenty of massages that include hot stones... and when I add them on as an enhancement, it's nice if the massage therapist spends more than about 10 seconds using them at a given time. My massage therapist at the time of my appointment was a woman a little older than middle aged. While I imagine she's been a massage therapist for a fairly lengthy period of time, she brought a somewhat nervous energy to our session. I explained what I was looking for out of the massage experience, and then she left the room for me to prepare for the massage. When she returned and the massage session began, it was relatively relaxing... though I wish she'd ultimately have spent more time in the problem areas I had mentioned. I was also disappointed in the amount of time spent using the hot stone enhancement, as well as the hair & scalp ritual (which maaaaaaaaybe lasted 5 seconds after the addition of the hair oil). Ultimately, the session was nice... and I'm sure it loosened up the tightness in my neck/shoulder a bit. It just wasn't what I expected based on the enhancements or what we discussed before my massage began. Everything together (including the 20% gratuity automatically added to the bill and the two chapsticks that I added from the spa check-in/check-out counter) came to about $285. Mirbeau seems expensive for the experience you get. I spent a lot of time around Skaneateles growing up, so I understand that there's a certain population/type of market that makes charging what they do seem perfectly reasonable... but it just seemed like way too much based on comparative experiences I've had. Not the best use of the enhancement options, and I just can't help but think that if Mirbeau was located somewhere else then there's no way they'd get to charge what they do. Basically, I'm glad that I had a gift certificate and didn't have to pay for the experience out of pocket.
