Stayed one night in the Tree Top room for Valentine's weekend and was extremely pleased with the hospitality and comfortability. Dale and Louise are very accommodating and helpful with making plans in the area. The breakfast was delicious and far from bland. This was my first Bed and Breakfast and it couldn't have exceeded my expectations any further.

We stayed one night in the Lakeview room and we really loved our stay. Gale and Louise were so nice and helpful, they told us tons of information about the area and were extremely accommodating. When we went into our room, there was a rose laid on the bed for us, and sherry in the hall to taste. The breakfast... More

We just left Aunt Louise's lake house and couldn't have been happier with our experience. Dale and Louise are great hosts, making you feel so at home. Louise is also a great cook, Breakfast every morning was different from the last, and fantastic. The home is comfortable, and very clean. They keep a roaring fire going during your entire visit,...

This comfortably restored and furnished19th century farmhouse sits on a nicely landscaped, treed and grassy slope with a lovely view of the lake out over attractive waterfront homes lying across the road below it. The owners, Louise and Dale Zabel, were the kindest and most helpful of hosts and prepared fabulous breakfasts. We spent 4 nights in the Tree Top... More

Dale and Louise have been in this business for 11 years and have mastered their craft. Both are very hospitable and gracious. The home is spotless and welcoming. Stayed in the Sunrise Room with the adjacent bathroom. Room was on the small side especially due to the sloping ceiling but most of our time while in the house was spent... More

This is a very relaxing B&B...very homey. Dale and Louise are the sweetest. The common room is very comfortable, complete with a fireplace. We felt very at-home in the evening, playing games there. All three bedrooms are on the second floor...stairs very steep so this will be a draw back for anyone having trouble with stairs. We stayed in the... More

We just needed a quick night away. Aunt Louise's was just that ! Relaxing, quiet, charming. Breakfast was truly amazing. We loved our tree tops room, enjoyed the bath, magazines, robes, and cream sherry. Attention to detail was much appreciated. An older home, made to feel very comfortable.

We stayed at Aunt Louise's B&B a couple of nights ago. We had never been to Skaneateles before or heard of it but apparently some very wealthy people have. It is a charming town with lots of stores, restaurants and activity. The town is directly on the lake and has been able to keep it's charm, so has "Aunt" Louise.... More

Hosts Dale and Louise Zabel are the consummate hosts. Upon arrival, they not only showed us around, but they also offered welcome drinks and made dinner reservations for us. Then, next morning, we were treated to a beautiful breakfast. The food was so good and the table so pretty that we wished for a longer stay. We were told that... More
