    Don’t let the location fool you. It looks to be outside of Skaneateles and technically that is true, but it is 5 minute drive next to the lake with beautiful homes, etc. The building itself is beautiful, old but with a lovely aesthetic. It feels homey, but one that an interior designer designed. From board games to an ice machine at the ready while in front of the fire…it was delightful. As was sitting on front porch with my coffee in a rocking chair. We will definitely return. Staff was lovely as well!

    The property is beautiful, with both outdoor and indoor seating areas. Corey (owner) and Katie are wonderful hostesses. The room we had is small but comfortable and well equipped. It's an old place with sloping floors and low ceilings, but updated with a great combination of old and new. The only suggestion I would have is that if you have mobility issues, go for one of the ground floor rooms. The stairs to the upstairs rooms are very steep and narrow - which add to the charm, but would be a concern for some.

    This place was amazing. A quick drive into town, free on site parking, lake views from the front porch, and the coziest common area. Our room was on the second floor and the steps were quite steep. No issue for us but, as the site warns, wouldn’t be good for those with mobility issues or if bringing lots of luggage, etc. We stayed during a time of year when breakfast is typically suspended but we still had delicious pastries and fresh coffee waiting for us in the morning. Can’t recommend enough!

    There was no one at the Inn to greet us. That was fine. Instructions were left as to entry. Our Suite was roomy and clean. More light/ lamps were needed and at first we had trouble figuring out heating unit but eventually we did. The bathroom was large but we did not appreciate the open design. There was no door for privacy - which made the toilet area particularly awkward. The handle in the shower was described as “quirky” but clearly it was in need of repair. The morning staff was lovely but breakfast was just ok. A small menu choice and no fruit , muffins or yogurt was ever an offering. That was a little disappointing. As for value, the Bond was overpriced for what it offered. For thursday and friday night it cost a total of $772. Skaneateles is a lovely place to visit. Next time I think we will try the Sherwood Inn in town. It is less expensive , with great food and a convenient location.

    Beautiful aesthetic, wonderful breakfasts - including an option of Mimosas and Bloody Marys along with your morning coffee. The staff was amazing and we enjoyed the views of the lake and the gorgeous fall leaves every morning while eating breakfast. Skaneateles is hands-down the best town in the Finger Lakes with beautiful shops and great restaurant options and this was a nice setting just outside of the downtown area.

    Beautiful home and room set up. Only complaint would be that the property owner texted us the day we checked in with some details, including breakfast outside our door around 8:15 in the morning only to find out that does not happen during the off season. We weren’t expecting it either just seemed like they went out of there way to let us know about something they knew wouldn’t happen…. Other than that, very satisfied.

    I wish it was clearer the property is not lake front but you can see the lake across the street instead. The tv and coffee maker didn’t work in the room. I think for the cost they should have had free water bottles in the room.

    We very much enjoyed our night at this tastefully and sensitively updated and modernized almost 200 year old farmhouse. Owners and staff are lovely, thoughtful, and efficient, providing an excellent breakfast and quality dinner recommendations. The house is so clean you could eat off the floors! Our only suggestion is installing screens on all windows so they could be opened for fresh air at night.

    Well done (recent) renovation on this property creates the perfect Bed & Breakfast experience! It is located mid-lake, perfect location for a quick trip into the village or around the lake.

    This our third stay at The Bond 1835 and we have been extremely happy with each stay. The decor is lovely and the rooms are well appointed with amenities, really comfortable beds and high end linens. Breakfast at The Bond is always the highlight of our stay and Mark and Corey couldn’t be any more gracious. If you find yourself needing a great place to stay in the Finger Lakes region, I cannot recommend The Bond enough. We fell in love with Skanteateles and The Bond 1835!
