We absolutely LOVED our stay here. We stayed for one night to attend a family wedding nearby in aurora, and we were in love with the springside. The rooms are adorable, just our style, and the entire property is gorgeous. The vintage style is so fun and comfy, and it’s very clean and well taken care of. It was a huge bonus that it’s close to the lake because I’m a runner and there was lots of beautiful scenery as I did my five mile run this morning. If I could give the inn 10 stars I would, we will never stay anywhere else when we’re visiting family in the area. Thank you springside for making our trip so special!

We can’t say enough about the Springside Inn. We loved the location for its closeness to the Merry-Go-Round Theatre, Auburn and Skaneateles. The property is beautiful and very well kept. The rooms are adorable, clean, and comfortable, and the staff is so helpful and kind. A special shout out to the owner Sean for making our stay extra special.

Note - this if you are lodging here. It seems it has newer owners who are making an effort to provide a great guest experience. However, the floors need better attention. It was clean but not as clean as I have experienced in other B&B's. The pillows weren't very comfortable. It should also be noted that continental breakfast is that at a bare minimum. But, for the price and the area you are in I don't have an issue with that. Just something to note. The rooms are lovely. I think if they just hit a couple of details it will be an excellent place to stay.

This is a beautiful property, it is like staying in a historical mansion. We stayed in a king suite and the room was huge and very nice. Continental breakfast was simple and sufficient, great experience overall. We had an emergency situation at home (12 hrs away) and the manager was extremely helpful in working with us so that we could leave a day early. Would definitely recommend this hotel…close to Skeaneatles and the lake.

Lovely Inn on Owaso Lake

This was quite a find! A lovely bed and breakfast within easy driving distance of Auburn. Pretty, comfortable room, spotlessly clean, very quiet, nice breakfast, view of the lake from our window. Had a great dinner at a restaurant recommended by the hotel. Very reasonable price. Hope to return.

Two Night Stay

This seems like a great place for a function. The grounds are very nice. If you stay in a standard room, do not expect a lot. I agree with the review that said the windows are filthy. The sheets appeared to be clean, but were stained which wasn't appealing. Maybe it was a Monday, but the service was non existant and do not expect much from the "continental" breakfast. If you put a "do not disturb" sign on the door, don't be surprised if you get a knock at the door with someone offering you towels! The hosts did not introduce themselves when present. Although the man was nice, I can't say the same for the woman.

Beautiful Inn with very nice restaurant and bar

Very nice old inn with 7 rooms and a nice restaurant and bar. The room was beautiful and very spacious with lots of windows. Close to the lake and to the town of auburn. We had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant, but we probably would have just eaten the bar food during Happy Hour from 4-6. The nachos, sliders and Brussel sprouts all looked very good.

We were in town for a nearby event, and booked a room at the charming Springside Inn. We love historical properties, and I could tell right away that this location is beloved by many. They host weddings (my career) and had a bridal shower, a live dinner and dance show, and were preparing for Easter brunch when we checked out. We had a tranquil and private room upstairs with the cutest vintage decor, and a massive soaking bathtub. The view of the terrace and forest behind the building was nice and soothing, and we never heard a peep the whole time we stayed there. You would NEVER know they had any events on the property; they must have fantastic soundproofing. I'm not being sarcastic, we honestly had a silent room. We'd love to come and visit again during the summer to try boating on the lake across the street. We enjoyed and highly recommend.
