The Packwood House is located in the center of the quaint historic village of Skaneateles on the north shore of Skaneateles Lake. Built in 2003 on the site of the old Skaneateles Post Office, Packwood House was named after John Packwood (1824-1890). Packwood was a highly successful carriage maker in Skaneateles and one of the early owners of the Sherwood Inn which he had renamed Packwood House in the late 1800's.

This contemporary lakeside retreat offers comfortable guest suites, many of which provide picturesque views of the lake and the village. Each guest suite has a kitchenette with a microwave and refrigerator as well as a comfortable sitting area and work space; several feature oversized balconies where guests may sit back and enjoy the view from a unique perspective.
