Benjamin Porter House

Benjamin Porter House is a bed and breakfast in Skaneateles, the village at the north end of Skaneateles Lake. It is a short walk to the lake, the shops and the restaurants, with a maple-shaded property that gives guests a quiet place to come back to.

Rooms are large, with ten-foot ceilings, four-poster king beds, private baths and fine linens. Five fireplaces in wood, marble and brick are found around the house, and original oil paintings hang throughout. Outside, a stream winds past a pond, a brick patio with a fountain and manicured gardens.
