TESTIMONIALS
“We stayed for 6 days. Really meant for this to be a place to sleep while we were out enjoying the Finger Lakes, weather and relatives. We found we ended up back at the B&B more than expected. It has a nice view of the lake. The hosts (Ron and Katy) were very nice and very approachable. The breakfasts were very good. But coming away from this stay, the things that stands out is how comfortable we felt staying there. That comfort level we came away with made it easy to give this place a great review.” – Scott C.
“Great place to stay! Ron and Katie were very friendly and accommodating! Great breakfasts and location as well! Plenty of wineries and breweries within minutes of the Magnolia!” – Terry M.
