Mirbeau Inn & Spa Skaneateles

What the classifiers highlight

Impressionist-style ponds and gardens surround the French manor house outside Skaneateles, its 34 rooms split between the main building and four standalone cottages, each with a fireplace and an oversized soaking tub. Forbes highlights the spa's heated foot pools and alfresco whirlpool, while the Bistro and Wine Bar serves a Sunday brunch.
