The Sherwood Inn

The Sherwood Inn places a stay at the meeting point of Skaneateles village life and its lakefront. The property traces its beginnings to an 1807 stagecoach tavern, giving its Genesee Street address a role in the community’s hospitality history. Today the appeal is practical as well as architectural: the lake, village shops and dining can form part of an outing on foot.

Rooms have individual configurations. The inn’s published description of Room 19, for example, identifies a queen bed, fireplace and jetted tub. Such details belong to the specified room, rather than a promise that every accommodation has the same features or outlook. Travelers looking for a particular view or bathroom arrangement should compare the actual units offered for their dates.

The important physical limitation is explicit in the hotel policies: Sherwood bedrooms are reached by stairs and the building has no elevator. Accessible rooms mentioned by the group are at other properties. This distinction should be resolved before making a reservation, not after arrival with luggage.

Dining on the premises adds convenience, but the breakfast information should also be read precisely: the menu identifies a complimentary croissant for hotel guests, rather than an included full cooked breakfast. Weekend minimum stays and deposit conditions vary with dates. Sherwood suits travelers who value a historic central address and prefer to spend much of their visit around the village.
