Come to Skaneateles Lake This Holiday Season

If you’re looking for gorgeous places to stay in the Finger Lakes area this winter, there is no better place to be than Skaneateles, NY. Not only is the village of Skaneateles picture perfect during this time of year (and by picture perfect we mean it looks like a winter wonderland), it happens to sit next to Skaneateles Lake from the proch of one of our luxury vacation rentals in Skaneateles, which is one of the five famed lakes that resemble fingers.

Who says you have to go to a ski resort in order to enjoy a winter vacation?

Not us. That’s for sure. Skaneateles is a small resort town that doesn’t actually feel like a resort. You might not know this, but back in its early days Skaneateles was a treasured resort escape for wealthy citizens who were looking for a vacation spot that had fun activities, but also allowed stressed souls to chill out and relax around natural beauty. As upstate New York grew in population, so did Skaneateles, and it lost its reputation as a formal resort town.

However…

Everyone that visits this beautiful village is still able to marvel at the natural beauty of Skaneateles Lake and its surroundings. You see the real truth is that this bucolic village is still among the most treasured spots to vacation for those in the know. Hidden amongst tree-lined neighborhoods are homes that serve one purpose: they offer visitors a place to kick back and relax in complete privacy.

When you come to Skaneateles you are able to live in comfort and anonymity as a visitor while living in one of our cozy Skaneateles luxury rentals. Move in for a few days, a week or longer. The locals here are friendly and welcome you to mix and mingle with townspeople. You can even stay in a home near the lake and wake up each morning to an exquisite lakefront view that is not possible in most other places.

The lake dominates part of this friendly village and everyone who stays here for even a short while feels its calm, ethereal presence. It won’t be long before you’ll be drawn to the lake to take a stroll, or to just sit and watch birds fly over this magnificent body of water. Water is very calming, and gazing at lake water is a good way to stimulate the daydreaming part of your mind.

You can close the door to your luxury rental home and sit by the fireplace, feeling it’s warmth as you relax in the living room reading a novel or watch TV. You can snuggle up close to the one you love and chat about the good things in life. Or, bring back bottles of Finger Lakes wine from local wineries and sip wine while chatting the night away with friends. At Skaneateles Lake, you can kick back and be yourself and not give a care about what the world thinks during your vacation stay.
