What an amazing B&B! I've never been to a bed and breakfast before, and after my stay here, I want…read moreto stay in B&Bs every time I travel. However, other B&Bs most likely will not live up to Lake Valley Legends! Lou & Vickie make this place so enjoyable. Their hospitality and personalities just make this the best B&B ever! We stayed here for 2 nights in the Cottage Blue/French Yellow Suite - which are two adjoining rooms with a lot of beds - great for a group! The room was so cute and adorable. There was a half bath in the room and a full bathroom across the hall. I absolutely loved the breakfast they provided on the weekends. Lou & Vickie cooked it themselves! The first time we had German eggs - mmmm cheesy eggs - I finished my entire plate because it was so yummyyy! The second night we had peach french toast, which was also very good! There were also homemade biscuits, scones, parfait yogurt with fresh fruits. All the food was nicely presented and delicious! They also serve coffee at 6:30AM for those early birds! This is also a great location if you're visiting Watkins Glen State Park. We were able to walk to the park and save $ on parking. Overall, I had such a pleasant time here at Lake Valley Legends! I highly recommend it! Lou & Vickie are the best! & for all you Pokemon Go players - I found a Caterpie on my bed!

Lou and Vickie are the ultimate of hosts - friendly, welcoming and so kind. They're also fabulous cooks! The place really felt like our own. 4 of us had two adjoining rooms which was basically our own little suite. One room had a half bath inside and our full bath was down the hallway and only to be used by our two rooms which was nice. We were able to come in and out of the house as we pleased. Everything was so easy. Saturday breakfast: Fresh fruit (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries) with vanilla yogurt and granola to start Coffee, orange juice, water, tea, milk German eggs was the main course - i would compare it to a cheesy frittata Then we were on our way to Letchworth State Park, we came back late afternoon and showered and rested. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. Not once did we feel uncomfortable. Sunday breakfast: Ambrosia - homemade and delicious! Coffee, orange juice, cranberry juice, water, tea, milk Peach french toast - so decadant and sweet. It was more like a baked bread pudding. This was the best! Notes: This place is within walking distance to Watkins Glen State Park if you are up for the walk. It's about a 15 minute walk or 0.8 miles. Once you get to the top of Watkins Glen you can even walk home (all down hill on the walk home since the park is all uphill walking!) You can get there early and not pay for parking too (before 8 am) A great weekend at a wonderful B&B!

Prior to arrival you are provided with a door code to enter the B&B. Upon entering envelopes with guests last names are waiting by the door. Inside are instructions for your stay. When in the public areas of the B&B masks and social distancing are required. The large wraparound porch is big enough that for the most part masks would not be required to enjoy the view. There are several rooms to choose from. Each has a private bathroom, some en-suite and some located near your room. When booking your choice of room the type of bathroom accommodation is clearly listed. My wife prefers having the bathroom en-suite so no surprises is important. Our room was tastefully decorated, very clean, neat and comfortable. I was concerned that social distancing would limit the quality of the breakfast. I need not have worried. Magnolia Place has a large breakfast room with several socially distanced tables. Included in our stay instructions was a breakfast time. This allowed for breakfast to be served without all of the guests being present at the same time. As for breakfast, both days Ron served an amazing gourmet meal. It is obvious that Ron puts a lot of thought into the meals he prepares. The items served all complement each other and change daily. These meals are delicious and home cooked. Nothing frozen or store prepared here. If your diet requires something special, just let Ron know ahead of time. For those who need their morning coffee there is no need to wait for your breakfast time. Coffee and a multitude of tea choices were available at 7:00 AM. Magnolia Place is conveniently located around 10 minutes north of Watkins Glen. There are several restaurants in Watkins Glen and nearby to choose from for dinner. During the day there are several wineries close by to tour. The local scenery is beautiful. Another in our party was told that there is a trail behind the B&B for hiking. I did not see this so other than knowing of it I cannot speak to it. I highly recommend Magnolia Place B&B. We are very particular about accommodations when traveling and would not have made this our second visit with plans for future visits if they had not met our expectations.

This is a Dog Friendly lodge with 8 rooms on the same property as the Grist Iron Brewing Co. so you can simply walk over for craft beer, wine, lunch or dinner. There was a terrific singer songwriter one evening (Rachel Beverly) who played her originals and covers to satisfy any age group. This Lodge is located closer to side Watkins Glen side of Seneca Lake, one of the Finger Lakes wine trail. If you like wine tastings, craft beer, beautiful scenery and calm, easy living for a relatively close get-a-way, check this place out. COVID-19 Protocols are strictly followed; guests and staff need to wear masks while moving around the facility both at Lodge and at Brewery/Restaurant. Cleaning is at a very high standard. We will definitely be coming back to enjoy more time there. Make sure to visit Seneca Lake State Park near Geneva and Taughannock Falls State Park: Taughannock Falls. Both are accessible and you can drive right up to the views. Finally, check out the Cafe Ginny Lee for lunch at Wagner Winery, the Elf and Oak on 414 for sandwiches/lunch and the Village Marina in Watkins Glen for dinner and drinks.

A fantastic breakfast (choice of menu items and time) is served where you'd like it - in the dining room, in-room or on your patio. Delicious! The room is as described and more!

Being on the water is tranquil and fun as you watch the boats go by. We noticed it was calm one afternoon and took the kayaks out to look at houses nearby. We rented a boat from Roy's next door and had a blast on the lake. We enjoyed the jacuzzi on a couple occasions and appreciated the late night option. The location is ideal for quickly getting to all the nearby lakes, wineries and sites. We saw much more of the beautiful Finger Lakes region than we expected. Not to miss - Vonnie's across the street is fun with good food & drinks. We'll be back!

The breakfast was OUTSTANDING. I don't know that I've ever had a better breakfast anywhere else. My only wish was that the chairs outside the Seneca room were Adirondacks rather than metal chairs with cushions. It rained quite a bit, but when it wasn't raining, we were unable to sit on them because the cushions were wet. Overall, I highly recommend this B&B for a great location and experience!

One the things that came to mind for me after spending three nights at the inn was that it is like…read morea cruise that isn't a cruise. Why? It's not a ship but it's the kind of place you are welcome to come and go from. Or stay on "deck" that day. So comfy it's hard to mention all of them. Cozy corners in and out. Even a basket of blankets at the front door if you are chilled. The lights on all the exterior lines of this beautiful Victorian lead you up the hill to home after a dinner at a local restaurant. And your take-away (or home-prepared food) is welcome in the guest frig. Guests congregate on the porches, in the gazebo, in the spacious game room, library, jigsaw puzzle room, and on the lawns all day. So much comfy seating at all times. (I think there are over 100 chairs of all kinds in this inn.) Four more amenities that also stand out are the different coffees and snacks you are welcome to all day and night; the USB connections in all guest rooms; the puzzles, games and books to convince you to relax; and the automatic lights throughout the common rooms that stay on until 1 am. Oh, and an Alexa speaker in the gazebo where you can play your favorite streaming music! Marcus and Elin have thought of everything.

We have mixed reviews of our stay last night at the Cook Mansion. First off... we had to second…read moreguess ourselves when driving in. The home itself is quite lovely and stately. However, there was no attention to detail with weed filled borders and no flowers or mums in the lovely urns gracing the front (unused) entrance. Our host Kris was very welcoming and gracious...Quite a conversationalist and made us feel at home. The interior of the home, had large common rooms, and was clean. It is in desperate need of area rugs, more furniture, wall decor, flowers... anything to add warmth. The room in which we stayed had a comfortable bed and huge bathroom. Both very clean. However, staying at more B & B's than we can count, we were disappointed with the following: 1- A HUGE black plastic bag covered the waste can in our bathroom. I know that sounds petty, but we're in a B & B...not a Motel 6. There was no floor mat when exiting the shower so egress was onto the linoleum. 2- The windows were not only painted shut, but nailed shut. So, no fresh air. (Kris did provide a fan for our use). Most importantly there was no speedy escape route if there was (God forbid) a fire outside in the hall. (Fellow guess we met at breakfasts verbalized the same concern(s). 3- Breakfast was quite disappointing. Scrambled eggs, hash browns and Canadian bacon. All served in chafing dishes in the new, large kitchen. Again... this is fine, however, in a B & B, the breakfast is usually a looked forward to 'event'. Numerous boxes of Entemann's pastries were also available. Plastic utensils were set out, along with plastic cups for juice. Even though there was real silverware, glasses, etc., plastic was set out. Serving ourselves was perfectly fine, there was just no attention to detail. Large containers of sugar, powdered cream, etc., were set on the counters instead of lovely servers. It's the little things that make a B & B. So, all that being said we will not return. Although it is clean, right next to the lovely falls and within minutes of Watkins Glen.

We drove up in September for a CHIN event at the Watkins Glen International Raceway, and our stay at the inn was a highlight. All of the reviews are so true; this is THE place to stay. In addition to serving us a fabulous hot breakfast (alight, beautiful scone, Ithaca Farms yogurt with homemade granola, French toast bake with a bourbon honey sauce and peaches and blueberries, coffee, hot tea, OJ), they provided us two days of breakfast to go since we had to go the track much earlier than they were serving the hot breakfast at 8:30 a.m. These were the goodies in our two days' breakfast to go: fruit (perfect strawberries and nectarines ), bread (croissants , gorgeous french with butter, banana bread), hardboiled brown eggs, mozzarella sticks, chocolate biscotti imported from a bakery in New Jersey , wet wipes, thick napkins, utensils, OJ, water, nut snacks, Nutella/pretzels, peanut butter with special crackers, divided between the two days, of course. Not only did David and Brian welcome us with a lovely wine happy hour on our first day, they also recommended hikes to take, wineries to visit, and restaurants to try. Among their recommendations, these were the restaurants we enjoyed: -Graft: local wine and beer. Tomato salad, mac and cheese with chicken sausage, and bread plate. -Maria's cheeseburger, a hole in the wall with fabulous cheeseburgers, near Colonial inn ice cream at which we ordered salted caramel and peanut butter blast, chunks of peanut butter in chocolate ice cream. The ice cream was soooo creamy! -Jerlandos: pizza and garlic knots (YUM), which we ate outside. We had $5 off $35 coupon from a wine map. -Sinclair's gas station for fabulous subs/hoagies! I have a picture of a whole sub that my husband and I shared (and could have shared with one more person!) and of the thick, fluffy bread, homemade every morning at the store, which is in a gas station! Thank you so much to David, Brian, and Dom! Y'all made us feel at home, and your lovely home is so welcoming and comfortable. Hope to see you again next year!
