We were only in Skaneateles for a short time....we were scouting for a hotel/inn to spend a night this summer while biking through the Finger Lakes. The Sherwood was on our list and we were not disappointed! The staff was very friendly and allowed us to view several rooms. Each room had a look of it's own...all very unique. They... More

We have been here for dinner on several occasions and the food has always been excellent and cooked to perfection. The service is very good also, and the everyone there is very helpful. The town is very scenic and a wonderful place to spend a relaxing vacation. So many little shops within walking distance and a wonderful bakery in their... More

I have been overnighting at the Sherwood Inn at the end of May on my way from Toronto to the Hamptons, for some years. It is terrific. I spotted it years ago, exploring the Finger Lakes which caused me to drive through Skaneateles, and started having my lunch there before I got smart and planned my trip so I could... More

We live just 30 miles from Skaneateles, but wanted a quick winter getaway. Lovely suite with a fireplace and double jacuzzi overlooking the lake. We'd intended to visit other favorite eateries, such as Rosalie's Cucina, but we never left the inn. Good food, great atmosphere and pub.

Taking advantage of a gift certificate given to us years ago ( the Sherwood generously honors gift certificates long after the one year date) , we spent one night in Cottage Room #2 at the Sherwood Inn's Village Inn property in the heart of downtown Skaneateles in upstate New York. While decidedly small-ish, this lovely little room was inviting, beautifully... More

Beautiful historic building overlooking the lake and quaint town. Our room was clean and comfortable with a gas fireplace, whirlpool tub and gorgeous furnishings. The bed had a zippered cover completely enclosing the mattress. Nice!! The blankets were cotton, clean and perfect. I just wish the pillows were a little nicer. They were flat as pancakes! The mattress was a... More

On one of the coldest days of the year we stayed at the Sherwood Inn. The room was warm and cozy and beautiful. The view was gorgeous. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a delicious dinner in their restaurant and a great free breakfast. Don't miss this one.!

I have stayed here on a couple of different occasions and have either stayed in or have had family that has occupied a few of the rooms at the inn. I have loved all of the rooms that I have stayed at. They are all different and yes are different sizes with different features such as whirlpools and fireplaces. We... More

My wife and I travel through Skaneateles every year from Maine to visit relatives on Michigan. Skaneateles is about half-way and, therefore, we looked for an hotel or Inn to stay at. We found the Sherwood Inn. It is over 200 years old and is located in the center of a beautiful, historic and welcoming town of Skaneateles NY. The... More
