Hannum House – Adults Only

Hannum House is a restored historic house in Skaneateles with just five guest rooms. Only guests of 21 and over stay here, so the scale stays intimate. Skaneateles Lake lies a few steps away.

Fireplaces, four-posters and a deep soaking tub

Every room has a gas fireplace, and most look over the lake. On the ground floor, Room 1 has a four-poster king bed and suits wheelchair users. The largest suite is Room 3, with an antique chandelier, a French armoire and a soaking tub. Meanwhile, Room 5 is the most secluded, because it faces the lawn and the old carriage house.

Coffee bar, porches and the inn next door

Check-in and breakfast both happen at the Sherwood Inn next door, but the house has its own coffee bar. Guests rave about the croissants there. Two lounges, a library corner and porches on both floors give you plenty of places to sit. In season, the West Lawn hosts outdoor dining and live music.
