5. Finger Lakes Region – Mirbeau Inn and Spa
Address: 851 Genesee Street, Skaneateles, NY
If there is one thing that Skaneateles and the entire Finger Lakes region has gotten right, it’s the perfect ‘storybook look’. The Mirbeau Inn and Spa is a great example of storybook elegance. The quaint, French-villa-inspired resort and spa has earned top ratings from guests and travel magazines along with its rightful spot in the 11 best places to stay in upstate New York thanks to its Provencal village aesthetics, the award-winning 14,000-square-foot spa, and excellent dining choices. What it lacks in an ‘authentic’ Finger Lakes view, it makes up for in amenities and excellent customer service.
