What a marvelous snowy getaway at 2W Lake B&B! Host Clark was attentive, responsive, and provided a wealth of knowledge about the area. We especially enjoyed relaxing conversations with him after he served sumptuous morning meals. The room was immaculate, well-appointed, and quite cozy with a stunning lake view. Highly recommend!!

Clark is such a generous host

This B n B was outstanding for my wife and I. The town is small and quaint with good food and a nice walk through town. Clark the owner was so nice and gave us a rundown of the town and where to eat. The house was beautiful and out room was super clean with an amazingly comfortable bed. The view was amazing to behold with view of the lake and town center. In the morning Clark cooked us an amazing frittata with chicken sausage while giving us amazing conversation. Recommend this place 10 times out of 10 it is a must see stay in Skaneateles!

One of he Best B&Bs Ever

Amazing B&B! Right across form the lake. The most amazing host (Clark) ever!! So responsive. Very knowledgeable about the area. Offered recommendations and concierge service. Emailed me recs before arrival. Tailored breakfast to all your dietary needs/concerns. Always available by text for any issues. Felt like I was at home and like I'd known him for years! He clearly loves what he does! Room was super clean. Had a Keurig, wine glasses, cork screw, water in the fridge, air conditioning in room, impeccable attention to detail. Bed was amazing! Common room was very nice. Areas for sitting. A nice porch with chairs/tables for sitting. Felt like you were welcomed into someone's home you know well. Easy parking. Beautiful building.

Beautiful, felt like home. Owner Clark Maher was an exceptional host and guided us on the region making our experience at the Finger Lakes exceptional. The most comfortable room leading to a refreshed sleep and waking up to an amazing breakfast served by Clark and his exceptional staff. Was the very best location on Skaneateles with walking to all great restaurants and beautiful boutique shops and galleries. Enjoy a glass of wine on his amazing porch in the late afternoon overlooking the Lake. Would highly recommend if you plan a stay in Skaneateles NY. Thank you Clark and Staff !!! Tom and Nancy Lenahan

We have never stayed at a B&B but wanted a lake vacation. 2W Lake exceeded our expectations. The owner Clark is so kind and personable. He allowed your privacy if you preferred but was so charming and interesting to talk with him. The place is exceptionally clean but very cozy. There are only two bedrooms ( each with private bath) so perfect if you are traveling with a friend or couple. Room has AC and a fan. Comfortable bed and fresh , clean linens. The bathroom amenities were Ally’s and had everything available if you forgot something. Refrigerator stocked with bottle water. New Coffee maker . We did not partake in free breakfast but all the reviews were excellent. We plan to return again next year. The town is so beautiful with great restaurants

From the perfect location overlooking the lake to every detail about our comfort being considered our stay was phenomenal; we didn’t want to leave. Walking in the front door there is a doormat that says “Come on in we’re awesome” but that actually undersells our experience! Clark has taken this gem of a house and made it into a home you can’t help but be made to feel totally happy in; the highlight of our past 3 months. We are already making plans to return; this time for a longer stay! We are telling all our friends this is a a place they have to experience,
