Magnolia Place Reviews

This was our first trip to The Finger Lakes, and it was a bit of a challenge to pick the right place. Boy, did we get lucky! Magnolia Place, on the east side of Seneca Lake, was absolutely lovely. The innkeeper, Ron, was a master breakfast-maker and very knowledgeable of everything Finger Lakes; our room was comfortable, cozy, and private, and the view of the vineyards and lake delightful. Magnolia Place is located just a few miles north of Watkins Glen, which made it easy to enjoy the scenic town as well as the country around Seneca Lake. The region is large, so planning where you want to go is important. However, just hanging out on the porch of the inn isn’t a bad way to spend a few days!!

First and foremost, Magnolia place was immaculate. I truly appreciated that our rooms were cleaned daily and the carpets in the inn also appeared to be vacuumed daily. The breakfasts were delicious… I’m also gluten and dairy free and Ron whipped up delicious alternatives to his breakfasts both days that we stayed there, which I really appreciated! Belgian peach waffles, miniature quiches, lemon pancakes! My husband and I stayed in the Magnolia sweet and the bed was a bit uncomfortable the first night which we mentioned to Ron and Katy. That morning they went out and purchased another mattress for the magnolia suite. We were very impressed with this level of customer service! And the next night we both slept like a baby! Ron also gave us a discount on our stay. My husband and I engaged in a couple great conversations with both Ron and Katy. They were the perfect hosts! And I enjoyed getting to also meet their dog Lexi! The inn is centrally located to Watkins glen. We also enjoyed the extras…. water bottles available all the time, snacks and teas available as well throughout the day.

We had a wonderful time staying at Magnolia. It was close to wonderful wineries, in the middle of both main towns and close to some wonderful attractions. The room was clean and comfy and we loved sitting on our private balcony. Breakfast was fantastic and offered something we both could enjoy. His property was beautiful and offered great views of the lake. We would totally recommend this place to others we know heading to the Finger Lakes!

Beautiful, quiet B&B with delightful, helpful owners and an adorable dog! We stayed in the Lilac room which is the only downstairs room. We had direct access to the front porch and a view of Seneca, and inside we had a wonderful Jacuzzi tub. It was so relaxing to sit by the crackling fire in the community room and just read a book, or enjoy someone playing the piano. The theme of the B&B — a floral theme — is developed in all the fine detail and decor choices in every room. The Garden Room where breakfast is served is filled with windows, skylights, natural light, and plants.
But the best part… the decadent breakfasts! I want to bring Ron (the owner and cook) home with me to feed me every morning! Everything was delicious!

We had a wonderful time at Magnolia Place – very comfortable, cozy, and relaxing! Our room was very nice, quiet and clean with a beautiful view of the lake and vineyard. The gourmet breakfasts each morning were absolutely delicious! The Innkeepers are very friendly and accommodating. Coffee, water and tea are available all day. Breakfast is served at 9am each morning. The inn is conveniently located right near many wineries, breweries and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again!

House is immaculate without losing any charm. Location was perfect close to everything. Bed was extremely comfortable and those are not the highlights! Katy and Ron are a wonderful couple friendly and knowledgeable and the breakfast cannot be oversold!

This was our 1st time staying at a B&B and we loved the experience. Ron & Katy could not have been more welcoming and accommodating for us. A pleasure to talk to, loved the dogs running around, beautiful views, breakfast was amazing, and he even got up early to make sure I had something to eat before my long bike ride 😊. Not to mention this turned out to be a fantastic location. I highly recommend them and this lovely B&B. Thank you Ron for welcoming us into your home.
