A visitor from Hong Hong found us by searching Yahoo for Skantaeles. Apparently they found what they were looking for because they spent quite a bit of time perusing our Skaneateles Suites Dockside Vaction Rentals.

Skaneateles, not Skaeneatlis 

Skaneateles, NY. StoryBook Village in the Fingerlakes Region of Central New York. Hard to pronounce and even harder to spell.

The Village and it’s history throw back to the Iroquois Indian Nation. Westward travelers on the Old Seneca Turnpike (another Indian name) first found us because we are the most Eastern of the Finger Lakes. (more…)

Here is an interesting article for those of you who care about toilet testing.

Cornell Cooperative Extention says: 

Residential development accounts for only 5-6% of the land use in the watershed. Many homes on the southern end of the lake hug the base of steep cliffs. (more…)

A web surfer in Arizona found us after searching Yahoo for ’skanatales’ and looked around for about 15 minutes. We hope they found what they wanted.

Meanwhile, a long time ago a young girl was born in Skanateles, NY. She moved to Ohio and lived a long life.
