What guests think

Travellers describe Finger Lakes Lodging as a cozy, rustic base with very clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a handy shared great room with coffee, set a short drive or walk from Skaneateles village and restaurants.

Many appreciate the lodge decor, comfy beds, gas fireplaces, and small touches like toiletries and cocoa. Common drawbacks include small or dark rooms, limited in-room amenities (often no fridge, microwave, or coffeemaker), off-site check-in with no on-site staff at times, occasional road or equipment noise, and sporadic TV or maintenance issues. If you value a clean, cozy lodge vibe over extensive amenities, expect a convenient, low-key stay near town.

Adorable lodge! Perfect for a little winter getaway. My husband & I visited twice. It's the small touches that make it stand out. Love the Marabou soaps & lotions and great little coffee & hot cocoa bar in the common area. It's a 3 minute drive into the village. We'll be back again next year!

Beautiful decorations and vibe with this woodsy room. Great to have the fireplace and the back porch. Very basic amenities, wish there was at least a refrigerator and own coffee maker in the rooms so we don't have to travel outside to the shared great room early in the morning. Bathroom floor was quite dirty which was apparent when wiping up from my shower when it leaked from under shower curtain. Overall cute room though.

Such a cozy rustic, place with a great room with good coffee choices and ambiance! Gorgeous view out the back windows and a great, hot shower with fluffy towels and toiletries included. Great heater in the winter was a plus and TWO LUGGAGE racks!

A log cabin motel a half mile from the lake and downtown. What more could you ask for? The log cabin room with the Pendleton blanket was so quaint and lovely. The patio out back was quiet and faced the woods and gave us some privacy for a glass of red. Truly super-easy and lovely.

I didn’t like the way it was decorated and the property had nothing to do and nothing to it except some Adirondack chairs. Despite being a sister property to Mirbeau you were not able to obtain a day pass to the facility to use the hot tub area. Would not stay again.

The rooms were very clean and comfortable, And the staff at check-in was gracious and friendly. I felt slightly insecure that there was no secondary lock system on the room doors. The great room was convenient but not cleaned every day. we were there for three nights and by the time we left the garbage in the great room rather smelled as it had not been emptied the whole time we were there.

The location was quite nice, and the decor gave the room a friendly and comfortable vibe. There were some issues with parking, as the parking lot was a little cramped. In addition, the owners of the property force you to check in at their other location, which gave an elitist vibe.

We loved our stay, the room was beautifully decorated, the bed was comfortable, the room was very clean. The price was reasonable unlike the sister hotel cost at Mirabeau. We ate at Rosalies right across the street which was phenomenal. I would recommend this place to friends and family and will definitely return!

My wife and I stayed at the Finger Lakes Lodging for 4 nights. We booked a room with king size bed. We loved the comfort of the bad and room furnishings. It was very quiet and a 3 minute drive to downtown Skaneateles and the lake. There is a back porch with Adirondack style chairs. The shower had great water pressure. We would definitely stay here again!

Upon arriving too early for the regular check in time, I was informed by the front desk that they would text me when the room was ready. We spent about 3 hours away from the hotel waiting for that text which never came. When we went back to the hotel the answer was, "yes your room is ready." would have been nicer to get the promised text.

Skaneateles is an adorable town. We have been there previously and loved it. Our experience at Finger Lakes Lodging (FLL) was disappointing, to say the least. One has to check in at Mirbeau Resort and Spa across the road. There is no staff on site at the FLL. God forbid you lock yourself out at night, worse if your car keys are in your locked room. Though I had made the reservation indicating that we were traveling with a dog, I was not only told the room that was reserved was not a “dog room”, but that there was an additional $75 charge, plus tax…over $80. I was also told that dog rooms had queen size beds, not king size beds. Seem counterintuitive but, whatever. The room we were given was tiny, with no room for a dog bed. The room was cute and rustic, but TINY. Additionally, the room we were given was the closest to the extremely busy highway. We did not sleep well. There were only 2 or three other guests in the entire property, so one has to assume that there were other, quieter rooms available. Because we could barely turn around in the room, we spent most of our time in the Great Room in the middle of the structure. It was lovely. However, the fireplace would night light. Again, there is no staff on site. The entire stay, which, thankfully, was only one night, was mostly unpleasant. It was our first time there and we won’t stay there again. I cannot recommend.
