This was the third year our guild has chosen to have the retreat here and we are coming back again next year. Dates are booked. Beautiful views of the lake. Cabin like accommodations where we were. The food at the dining room was amazingly good. Perfectly seasoned and gourmet ingredients. They don't skimp on food quality. The staff were all extremely nice and very helpful. I have only good things to say about my experience.

Casowasco is the former summer estate of the Theodore Case family. The property then included 73 acres of land, much of it wooded. It also included a mile of shoreline, a freshwater stream, a beautifully landscaped delta on which stood three large residences, a barn, a boathouse, a clay tennis court, and a small single lane bowling alley. A railroad, following the path of the old Auburn to Moravia plank road, ran along the shoreline. The building we now call Galilee was built in 1896 and served as the actual residence of the Case family and its many distinguished guests.

There's truly nothing better than a yoga class at Sky and taking in that gorgeous view of the lake, no matter the season. I came to Sky 3 years ago petrified that I'd make a total embarrassment of myself as I had never attempted yoga, but they were so helpful and welcoming that I instantly fell in love with yoga, and despite all of the studios around the country I've now frequented, Sky will always be my favorite and hold a special place in my heart. Their instructors are absolutely amazing; Courtney weaves her passion and love for the business into every thing she does, it's palpable. The community of classmates are always so friendly and warm; it's the closest thing I presently have to my own little community and I always look forward to connecting with them. There's always something new and fresh to look forward to in addition to the perfect weekly schedule which is created to have something for everyone of any skill level. Presently during COVID they have a really great system in place for streaming, special classes and more, though I'll always prefer the in-studio experience (which is open and very clean!) I can't wait until Covid passes and we can go back to the full classes full of love and light, I look forward to the little things they do to make every class special (essential oils, lighting, amazing music). Sky is so incredible that they're worth a special trip to Skaneateles, but especially if you're in the area, on vacation, or on the lake, stop in for a soul-changing experience!

To give some context, I have done intro offers/comped classes at almost every studio in town. Breathe, yoga vibe, M/body, Tru, JCC...I've "yoga'd" it up with very mixed emotions in each experience, and don't get me wrong, many have been great. Then there were other times when thoughts like "my body isn't right for this" and "everyone else here can do this and I just can't do this" alllll the way to "why would anyone do yoga this shit is dumb." After participating in a Yelp event with Danielle, I felt SEEN (via Zoom!) and my body was like OKAY YAS! I signed up for the intro offer IMMEDIATELY and have been enjoying very COVID friendly outdoor classes at their Woodbury street studio. Classes range from 2-5 people max and students are encouraged to do what is right. NOT what is right for the proper/perfect pose, not what looks right...but what feels right. I know this seems super intuitive, but the stress on peace and play has really makes these classes special, not to mention the hour FLIES by. I have yet to take a class from a different instructor, but am looking forward to in the very near future! I highly recommend giving the intro offer a try. I plan on buying 5 class passes after my intro offer to flexibly meet some varying wellness goals. If you are travelling from out of town or a performer at Geva, this is a PERFECT option for catching a workout! Convenient location with danger of overspending at Fuego post-class, as they are located in the same building. YAY Danielle YAY Pele Yoga. I can't wait to watch this amazing biz flourish and shine its light all over Rochester.

They do not sit at the front of the room and instruct rather they interact with you during class helping to position you to go further into your practice and even help with unfamiliar poses. There is a wide variety of classes with something to fit everyone's schedule. The studio is in the heart of downtown and conveniently located next to a coffee shop for a great pre and post hangout. It is a single room studio but they even have a shower in the back. I am so glad to have met Danielle and had the opportunity to join the Pele community. Their intro offer gives you a chance to try all the classes and fully immerse yourself into the space. Don't skip out on this place! ‍

I scheduled my appointment for a massage and had planned for a full day of rest and relaxation at…read morethe spa. My appointment was in the morning and I arrived about an hour ahead. The spa staff were very nice and took time to explain everything to me, since it was a while since I had been there. I found out at the front desk there would be a skincare event at 11 which fit in perfectly with my visit. I changed into my bathing suit, put on my robe and went into the quiet room, got some water and relaxed until my name was called. My masseuse took me into the room asking my preferences also any areas that needed more attention or to avoid. I got the Monet massage with my choice of scented oil. The experience was first class....my masseuse, Michelle, listened to everything I said. I went to the skincare event and came home with some lovely new items and a nice gift bag of products. I went back into the locker room to enjoy the steam room and the sauna. Then to the heated outdoor whirlpool ( they have a bar outside and a few light food items you can order). I knew I was going to have lunch overlooking the little bridge by the waterlily pond. The hostess was incredibly nice, it wasn't busy so we talked and she told me about the other locations. My French onion soup was some of the best I've had, full rich, flavored broth that was NOT too salty, nice soft bread inside and warm melty gruyere cheese. I had a turkey salad sandwich with bacon, tomato, lettuce and avocado on their homemade cranberry, walnut bread. It came with truffle Parmesan thin fries. The meal was excellent, and the service was great. Everybody I encountered was friendly, polite and helpful. The high level of hospitality was evident with everyone I encountered. The facility was clean and the entire time I was there all the little things were constantly being taken care of. Water refilled, dirty linen removed, areas wiped down, etc I can't wait for my next visit.

Growing up in Upstate NY, I've always heard about Mirbeau as being a top option for a fancy spa…read moregetaway in the Finger Lakes, so I didn't bother to look at reviews first. Sadly our experience didn't live up to Mirbeau's supposed good reputation. The gap between the price and the value of service was the size of the Grand Canyon. Our room was about $450 a night, closer to $500 after taxes. The rooms are pretty, even in the winter the view of the garden was nice. The bathrooms in the cottage rooms are spacious. Things went downhill at dinner in the attached restaurant. We were one of about 4 tables so it was a slow night. Our server did an adequate job, but the food was extremely disappointing. My fiance reported that there were bits of shell in all of his oysters. The cheese board wasn't very inspiring, for $24 I could have made the same thing myself at home after a stop at Wegmans. My filet was cooked wrong twice, after the second time where it came out still slightly overcooked I had it taken off the bill. My fiance finished half of his wagyu as it also fell very flat for him. Mind you, this was a $140 dollar steak entree, and the chef didn't even bother to salt the meat. We ended up having about half our meal comped and it was still over $300 to eat one of the worst fine dining meals we've ever had. The spa itself, like the rooms, were also just okay. The locker rooms are spacious and well stocked, and kept clean. One place that's lacking is that there's not enough waiting space for everyone. The "tranquility" waiting room with the foot pool is not enough room for people who are trying to lounge/meditate AND for people to congregate waiting for their spa services. It was awkward not really having somewhere to sit. My massage was ok, it felt more like a Swedish massage than it did a deep tissue. There wasn't any opportunity to request more attention be paid to certain areas with more tension (I told her my right arm is usually more sore and she kind of just ignored me and didn't touch that area at all). My masseuse said I was breathing incorrectly so I was too distracted by my breathing to enjoy my massage. We ended up cancelling our second night. I will never recommend Mirbeau to anyone.

My masseuse, Stacy May, was very professional, very dedicated and goes beyond the required service to make it a great experience. They have options with the kind of oil they can use, so I went with the classic: lavender. She asked me if there were any particular areas she should concentrate on and made sure they were given extra attention during the massage. In addition, she made sure it was a full body massage by giving each part enough time to relax your entire body. Although it was a 60 minute massage, she went on for an additional 10 minutes just so I could get the complete experience. We were staying at the inn so it was highly convenient for us to just go back up to our room after the massage to take a shower. I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a good massage as I'm sure the place won't fail to impress you.
