Skaneateles Lake

This clean, serene lake is the easternmost of New York's Finger Lakes.

Reviewed By Besos43

We rented a house from Vrbo and were very happy with our experience. They had a dock and deck area for sitting and enjoying the beautiful lake. The water was very clear and clean. I was surprised that the temperature of water seemed warm for early July. We swam every day. Since travels were during Covid we did curbside takeout and were happy with food and service from Gilda's, Doug's Fish Fry, and The elephant and Dove.

Outstanding find! If you are into dry reds, go here. We enjoyed our wine so much that we enjoyed the wine club. Very nice facility as well.

Charlie Major Nature Trail

Reviewed By Thecurlypineapple

A lovely walk through the woods, complete with the sight and sound of running water from the stream next to the trail. Not too long to walk, straight path, and easy to traverse. An easy walk for someone who wants to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Lockwood Lavender Farm

LOCKWOOD LAVENDER FARM WILL BE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC FOR THE 2019 SEASON. Farming is never easy at the best of times. Our plants should be green and growing now but after an unusually wet fall and winter and now a wet spring, many of our plants appear damaged. Lavender thrives in a well-drained soil, but when precipitation becomes inordinate plants suffer. We have heard from many gardeners and other lavender farmers across Canada and the U.S. that are also experiencing the same loss after this winter’s polar vortex. Our reaction plan, the angustifolia we are pruning back and a large number of the lavandins will need removal and replacement. This will be a year to propagate cuttings from the less damaged plants and plan for the future. Over the 18 years that we have welcomed people to our farm (our home) it has always been our goal to offer the best of what we do. We will not be capable of representing ourselves at those standards in 2019.

Mirbeau Spa

Reviewed By susancO5735LL

I reviewed the Mirbeau Inn separately. Here is my review of the spa. Contrary to some of the other reviews we read here everything was topnotch at the Mirbea Spa. My husband and I have stayed at a wonderful destination spa in PA; although Mirbeau is not quite to that level that is not what we were expecting. This is not what I would consider a destination spa but a beautiful inn with a lovely spa. Our spa experience was most enjoyable. The outside hot tub was large and there were never too many people in it. There is also bar service and a fireplace. There were definitely a good amount of guests at the spa but it was not at all overcrowded. Inside at the quiet area there is a large pool where you can soak your feet and the most comfortable recliners to lounge in while you wait for a service or just relax. There were a couple of women who did not seem to read or heed the "no talking" sign in the quiet room but I find that to be typical and it was nothing overwhelming. We both had deep tissue massages and I can personally vouch for Lesya. She was amazing and I highly recommend her. It was definitely a deep tissue massage. She asked if the pressure was OK and it was. I like a massage that really gets in there and addresses the knots and kinks in my shoulders and this massage did. I am sure if you wanted less pressure she would be able to offer that as well. The spa staff were incredibly friendly and seemed to sincerely care about our experience. It is unfortunate that (based on other reviews) some guests have experienced loud groups that distracted from their enjoyment. Based on my visit I can only find good things to say about the staff and facility. I think they would do their best to make sure that each guest has a quality stay.
