Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“My husband & I stayed here for two nights during Dickens Christmas in Skaneateles. The inn was very well kept, clean, the staff was friendly, and the room was comfortable. The only suggestion we have is to provide bottled water in the mini fridge. We arrived late and did not think to bring water with us. The continental breakfast was plentiful, but there was limited seating since there was an event planned in the dining room adjacent. Overall, we enjoyed our time and would definitely stay again!”
“My wife and I had our wedding there in October. It was everything we couldve asked for and more. Chris and her team went above and beyond to make our day special and we really felt the love. The food was incredible and we are still getting compliments about it to this day. Try the late night slider option, they are a massive hit! The rooms are all also incredible and very inviting. I strongly recommend having your special event at Springside, you will not be disappointed!”
“Very nice stay last night, it was quiet, charming, comfortable, and the jacuzzi was great! Everything was very clean, as well. Contential breakfast was fine. It was a little unusual not to have any staff there overnight, but we had no issues, everything was fine.”
“We enjoyed our stay! Super happy and surprised to be upgraded to a suite. Bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was a nice touch. Coffee was delicious. We hope to go back again, maybe when the weather is better, I’m sure the grounds are beautiful.”
“Beautiful and historic Inn right on a Finger Lake. Loved our stay here. The room was beautiful. The staff was terrific and the price was incredibly reasonable for that location. We will definitely be coming back.”
“My husband and I needed an affordable place for a night after our time at the Mirbeau Spa. This Inn was about 15mins away with flexible check in time. The bed was comfy, there was a jacuzzi bath, and everything was beautiful. It seemed like a small town local place to stay and we loved the peace and quiet we found here. They upgraded our room and provided a simple breakfast where we were also greeted and ate by a fireplace. We enjoyed bagels, pastries, coffee, and orange juice. We liked they had an atm there too. It is a beautiful place for events and we definitely will come back when we are out this way again.”
