Housed in a beautifully-restored 1830 farmhouse, Magnolia Place offers breathtaking views of Seneca Lake, in one of the most picturesque areas of New York’s Finger Lakes region.
From the moment guests walk through the front door, innkeepers Theresa Kelly-Remmers and Ted Palevsky make them feel like family. The entryway leads to a gourmet kitchen where there’s always coffee and treats to greet guests. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious living room with a grand fireplace where guests can read a book, watch television or enjoy board games. There’s even a pantry where complimentary beverages are available. “We try to improve our guests’ power lounging techniques,” muses Palevsky.
Guest suites are located on the main and second floors. The property offers eight guest suites all with private baths. Some of the suites feature spa tubs and fireplaces and several suites, like the Seneca Room I stayed in, have private access to a second story veranda overlooking Seneca Lake.
Magnolia Place is centrally-located within the Finger Lakes region and is near some of the area’s top wineries. Many guests visit wineries during the day and return to the inn with wine to sip while rocking on the porch or while sitting by the fireplace.
Little touches like the selection of home-baked goods and seasonal beverages served in the evenings, the fine linens dressing the comfortable beds and the artisan soaps featured in the suites help enhance guest experience.
Magnolia Place puts the “breakfast” in bed and breakfast. Each morning, guests are greeted with inviting aromas or freshly-prepared food and brewing coffee. The array of dishes is beautifully-presented on the kitchen island and various juices and coffees are served in the inviting dining room. The full country breakfast, prepared with locally-sourced ingredients, features custom-blended coffee, house-made granola, fresh-baked pastries and a hot entrée like the popular baked blueberry French toast or the corn fritters with house-smoked salmon, crème fraîche and a poached egg.
The inn is near some of the region’s best restaurants – Suzanne’s Fine Regional Cuisine and Dano’s Heuriger on Seneca. For a more intimate dinner, Magnolia Place offers meals served at the inn and prepared by Table for Two, a local high-end catering company.
Warm and friendly hosts, attractively-restored suites, great food, a central location and gorgeous Seneca Lake views are what await you at Magnolia Place.
