My husband and I stayed here two nights in late May, 2013. Dale and Louise were the most gracious hosts, answering our questions and engaging in conversation, but definitely not intrusive. Both days' breakfasts were delicious and filling! And Alli, their college-student/baker helper is wonderful as well. There were also freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies and lemonade available each day. The... More

We have stayed in many B&B's in many countries and this one is superb! The beautiful landscape overlooking the Lake , the tastefully decorated rooms and the cheerfulness of Dale and Louise made our stay very enjoyable. They made every effort to ensure that we had a great time. The fine restaurants for dinner in Skaneateles were very good! Did... More

For years, as a travel columnist I trained myself to have an eye for unique travel experiences -- the ones that linger in your memory long after your vacation is over. It is true that this charming B&B is immaculately clean, cheerfully decorated and offers an exceptional breakfast but what makes it so very special is the welcoming nature of... More

This was our 2nd stay at Aunt Louise's and the 2nd one was even more enjoyable than the 1st if that's possible. We stayed for two nights to attend our son's graduation from Suny-Cortland and unlike the 1st visit got to spend more time at the B&B. Once again Louise and Dale were the perfect hosts and the breakfasts were... More

Stayed one night in the Tree Top room for Valentine's weekend and was extremely pleased with the hospitality and comfortability. Dale and Louise are very accommodating and helpful with making plans in the area. The breakfast was delicious and far from bland. This was my first Bed and Breakfast and it couldn't have exceeded my expectations any further.

We stayed one night in the Lakeview room and we really loved our stay. Gale and Louise were so nice and helpful, they told us tons of information about the area and were extremely accommodating. When we went into our room, there was a rose laid on the bed for us, and sherry in the hall to taste. The breakfast... More

Louise is also a great cook, Breakfast every morning was different from the last, and fantastic. The home is comfortable, and very clean. They keep a roaring fire going during your entire visit,...

This comfortably restored and furnished19th century farmhouse sits on a nicely landscaped, treed and grassy slope with a lovely view of the lake out over attractive waterfront homes lying across the road below it. The owners, Louise and Dale Zabel, were the kindest and most helpful of hosts and prepared fabulous breakfasts. We spent 4 nights in the Tree Top... More

Dale and Louise have been in this business for 11 years and have mastered their craft. Both are very hospitable and gracious. The home is spotless and welcoming. Stayed in the Sunrise Room with the adjacent bathroom. Room was on the small side especially due to the sloping ceiling but most of our time while in the house was spent... More
