Sherwood Inn
Built as a stagecoach stop in 1807, the Sherwood Inn has been a favorite resting place for travelers and locals for nearly two centuries. The Inn has been meticulously restored to the beauty of a bygone era with four fireplaces, pegged wood floors, antique furniture and fine wood detailing to create a relaxing harmony away from everyday cares.

The Sherwood Inn is situated in the heart of the historic village of Skaneateles, New York, which is known as the “eastern gateway to the Finger Lakes.” The Inn is located on the north shore of Skaneateles Lake, one of the most beautiful and cleanest bodies of water in the world. Skaneateles is a community of rare charm with lovely old homes, quaint shops and galleries. The many dining establishments in the area have a reputation for superb quality and variety. Skaneateles has been a vacation spot for the former First Family of the United States as well as many other families for generations. Many return each year for vacations, local events, anniversaries and reunions at The Sherwood, their “home away from home.”
For almost two centuries, travelers have come to the Sherwood Inn to rest and relax. The Sherwood Inn offers 24 comfortable guest rooms, each carefully restored and uniquely decorated to retain the Inn’s original charm. Many of our guest rooms overlook beautiful Skaneateles Lake, the easternmost of New York’s five Finger Lakes. And always, our hospitality is enhanced by an attentive, friendly staff to make your stay comfortable and carefree.

After you’ve slipped into a traditional Japanese robe and a pair of soft terry cloth slippers, you’ll enjoy relaxing in dreamy lounge chairs in one of two Tranquility Rooms.

August Moon Spa uses only fresh and natural products and incorporates many of the extraordinary natural resources of the area in their signature therapies including grapes, wine, honey and maple sugar.

One of the most popular treatments is the signature “Buttermilk Falls Experience.” Inspired by Ithaca’s local waterfalls, you’ll relax on a Vichy shower table while your skin is exfoliated using a fresh scrub of buttermilk, local honey and natural sugar – all while warm water flows around your body.
