Skaneateles: The Jewel of Finger Lakes, A Perfect Long Weekend Getaway
Nestled in the heart of the Finger Lakes, Skaneateles, often dubbed the 'jewel', offers a blend of enchanting streets and stunning landscapes. This lake village has been recognized as one of the top stress-free weekend getaways from New York City by World Atlas.
At the core of Skaneateles lies Skaneateles Lake, one of the cleanest bodies of water in the U.S., serving as the unfiltered drinking water source for Syracuse and nearby communities. The village is home to the unique American postal boat cruise, the 'Barbara S. Wiles', one of the few remaining mail boats that combines postal service with scenic cruises.
Food enthusiasts flock to Rosalie's Cucina, a Tuscan-style restaurant featured in the New York Times. For a sweet treat, Skaneateles Bakery offers strong coffee and house-made cider doughnuts year-round. Nature lovers enjoy Skaneateles Pier & Clift Park, offering benches, gazebos, and lake access.
Mirbeau Inn & Spa, a Monet-inspired retreat, has been named one of America's most extravagant resorts. Recently, Skaneateles Fields Resort & Spa, the first Curio Collection resort by Hilton in the Northeast, has opened its doors.
Skaneateles, with its fairytale streets, breathtaking landscapes, and unique experiences like the postal boat cruise, makes for an ideal long weekend getaway, located just four and a half hours from New York City.
