About

The village of Skaneateles, along the northern shores of the lake, is widely regarded as being among the finest villages in all of the Finger Lakes. The charming hamlet boasts a well-developed infrastructure and attractions for the tourist trade, including a variety of hotels, inns and bed & breakfasts, a full calendar of activities and events, and a broad range of quality eateries. The village also has a rich, well-documented history that dates back to revolutionary times—the first settlers were veterans of the Revolutionary War who were awarded land grants as compensation for military service.
