Skaneateles Gazebo: Skaneateles is a charming Finger Lakes community just to the west of Syracuse. The town is quintessentially upstate, with its main street dating from the late 1700s, a pristine lake with the country’s second cleanest drinking water, and stately whitewashed wooden houses with large porches.	Every day and Evening in Spring, Summer and Fall the graceful boats at Mid-Lakes show visitors our StoryBook community from “the other side”. The Judge Ben Wiles is a direct descendant to the origininal steamboats that plied Skaneateles Lake at the turn of two centuies ago.		.
Country Barn: Just outside of the village the landscape is dotted with small family farms and windy country roads.	The Sherwood Inn, circa 1807, was originally a stagecoach stop. Now it is a clamorous Inn with one of the prettiest views in upstate NY
Skaneateles has also been known as the playground of presidents. Franklin Roosevelt’s extended family owned an impressive mansion on the lake and most recently the Clintons vacationed here during the presidency. Even today American Flags and bunting can be found throughout the village, which compliment the classic structures well.	Charles Dickens: December in Skaneateles means it is time for Dickens’ Christmas, a Victorian Christmas celebration in which the entire village participates
