About our Historic 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."

Also, rent a boat to see the lake on your own, enjoy lakeside concerts in Shotwell Park just across from the Sherwood Inn and polo games on summer weekends. Experience the Fall Fest, Dickens' Christmas, WinterFest, hockey and skating at Allyn Arena, and downhill or cross country skiing at nearby trails during the Fall and Winter months.
