SKANEATLES-NY>>>
A lovely, well maintained, countryside village on the north shore of (Finger Lake) Skaneatles Lake a few miles southwest of Syracuse. There's a village center park right on the lake. Unique shops, boutiques, and restaurants in the center of the village. Some mansions, Victorian & colonial & regular style homes line the tree shaded streets. There are boat and dinner boat cruises available on the Lake. Many big name people from across the country do and have visited this lovely village when they are in the Syracuse area.
