Large lawn leads to stairs to upper level deck with extensive lake
view -- about 6 miles of lake including Skaneateles Village
(especially nice at night!). Stairs then lead to lower deck at
lakeside; large deck and dock are great for enjoying the sun, but a
portion of deck is shaded for the Hot days.
Mooring furnished if you have a boat.

Swimming - Swim off shale beach or our dock; Skaneateles Lake is the
main reservoir for Syracuse and the water is kept clean and clear!
Boating/Fishing - Mooring provided; small boats, canoes, kayaks can
be drawn up on deck when not in use. Lake is 18 miles long with
picturesque shoreline. Boat rentals available nearby. Public dockage
is provided at the Village. You can also take rides/dinner cruise on
two lake boats.
Restaurants - Great pizzas, tasty homemade ice-cream, the best fish
sandwiches in Central NY, seriously good dinners at four very fine
restaurants in town (Rosalie's; Mirbeau; Sherwood Inn; The Krebs) plus
the 1820 House and the Glen Haven down the east side. (Eating at home
is fun, too; be sure to pick up fresh corn and other vegetables at the
local farmstands!)
Golf - 3 good 18-hole golf courses within 10 miles; also miniature
golf 15 min away.
Music - The Skaneateles Music Festival features primarily chamber
music, with highly rated instrumental and vocal performers; it will
have its 30th year in August 2009
Theater - The Merry-Go-Round theater in Auburn (1/2 hr drive) has
live shows of near-Broadway quality!
Biking - Most area highways have extended shoulders for biking; a
40 mi trip around the lake has been enjoyed by many serious bikers.
Wineries - A new winery -- Anyela's -- is right across the road,
and the Finger Lakes region has many other wineries to visit and
enjoy tasting sessions.
BUT --- this is a great place to just plain sit and RELAX!
