Karen was a wonderful hostess and innkeeper. The furnishings are pretty, the service is kind and thoughtful, and the food was great. We intend to return. Oh, and the mattress was very comfortable! Best sleep in quite a while.

THE place to stay in Canandaigua!
Great location, great accommodations. Karin is so knowledgeable on the area and gave us great suggestions on things to do in Canandaigua. And her breakfast--sublime! Truly a memorable experience for us!
We couldn’t have asked for a more gracious hostess and lovely home very near the venues we needed to reach.

This inviting, comfortable inn was everything we imagined a New England bed & breakfast to be..
This historic inn is beautifully decorated and each room has its own charm. It is conveniently located on Main Street near restaurants and the lake. The best feature is the friendly and generous host and her delicious three-course breakfasts.

Our stay was excellent!
Everything! The location was ideal. You were within walking distance of downtown and its varied shops and food venues. The B and B itself was clean, accommodating and historic. Our innkeeper, Karin, was absolutely fabulous!!! She was very engaging with all the guests. Breakfast was excellent. We agree that this was probably the best B and B experience we have had, and there have been many. Would recommend, hands down.

A luxurious home away from home
Host Karin was a warm, fascinating person. Wish we had more time to chat with her. Breakfast was so unique and tasty, we started eating a light dinner just so we would be able to eat all that Karin made for us. Even got seconds on one savory creation! Home was situated on a busy street, but strategically located near downtown and Sonneberg Gardens. We walked everywhere! Room was warm and inviting. A little hot our first day, but we opened windows to get comfortable.

Birthday getaway to enjoy wine tour
My husband and I decided to celebrate his birthday with a trip to Canandaigua for a wine tour. We invited our daughter and a friend to join us. Our room was comfortable, light, warm and charming at Oliver Phelps. Karin was extremely helpful in many ways. She suggested alternative options for our daughter's stay as Karin only had one room available at the time of my call. She was able to accommodate dietary issues for myself and my daughter. And she sent many recommendations for the area.
