8 day road trip from KC to NY to Canada and back again - where we slept made all the difference. When we arrived here, 'road weary' had taken on new meaning and this felt like walking into Shangri La. So helpful guiding us there, so accomodating as we got lost and arrived late, so deliciously comfortable when we stepped inside. The Balcony Suite is marvelous, cozy, and very well-appointed. The bed was lovely, the see-through fireplace comforting and the bathtub for two romantic. The bathroom was so nice we spent much of our time in the room in the shower, in the tub, or just talking about getting ready for our day. The bed, with skylights above, afforded the best sleep we had on our entire trip and a lovely awakening with the dawn (don't worry, they have shades if you want to sleep in). Of course, we have to mention breakfast. Delicious, local and a superb treat. Never rushed, it helped us start our day with the right perspective. Maggie and Patti's recommendations kept us busy having fun at wine tastings, on scenic drives and wine tasting after wine tasting. We ended the day with a warm fire in the main room, another night in our bedroom, and the third night in the cozy Woodsview Suite - where we woke up to SNOW! I know Patti, not what you wanted to see, but you laughed with us as our midwest excitement could not be contained. I feel like we have friends in the Finger Lakes and can suggest to any of our friends they should stay here. We want to go back, maybe not via 8 day road trip, but flying into the nearby airport. PERFECT place to book for the whole group and have a woman's getaway, a couple's weekend or a business retreat. Really, of all the 9 B&B's we've stayed at in our lifetime, this is the best. I want to live there someday! :) We miss you!

We had a phenomenal experience at the Chalet during our week stay there. It was clean, fresh, with superb decorating and a cozy atmosphere. Often we'd curl up on the couch with the soft blankets, the fireplace and a book and just relax. Every space inside and outside on the grounds felt like it was our own special little space and felt like we were at home. Margaret and Patti felt like family & were very engaging, and there wasn't a thing they didn't think of in creating this B&B or in making our stay enjoyable. There were snacks out in the afternoon and a homemade dessert awaited us every night, which we enjoyed by the fire in the great room. The women were wonderful resources for things to do and directions all over the Finger Lakes area, gave dinner recommendations for only top quality places. These restaurants are some of the best we've ever been to, including the Brown Hound and Lumberyard Grill. Breakfast-WOW! They work the menu around your dietary needs and preferences, and their culinary skill inspired me to try things I wouldn't have otherwise. They had fresh flowers on our table each morning and we sat on the porch most mornings with the big space heater - it was perfect to overlook the pond and listen to the morning sounds of nature. The breakfasts were so good that we rarely ate lunch. Bananas Foster over Waffles and the French Toast with Peach Compote - awesome! We were pleased that they strive for a balance between carbs and protein in the breakfasts. We stayed in the Woodsview Suite and couldn't have been happier. There are a variety of extra amenities in the bathroom and the soaps smelled amazing! The double shower was great! The room has a great programmable gas fireplace. So nice! The other major wine trails and hiking locations (nearly all that we went to have beautiful waterfalls) are all within an hour drive. All in all it was a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend this B&B to anyone traveling to the Finger Lakes area.

The Chalet of Canandaigua is wonderful, the three suites have every conceivable comfort, the breakfasts are imaginative and tasty, but it is the hosts Pattie and Margaret who set this B&B apart. Their hospitality stems from their genuine interest in people, their warmth and their good humour. They succeed in making every guest feel special. We live in Britain and travel relatively widely both in Europe and in the US - our stay at the Chalet was without doubt our best ever B&B experience.

My wife and I recently spent our honeymoon in the Lee Suite. Our entire stay was so relaxing. Patti and Margaret were such great hosts and made us feel extremely welcome, comfortable, and aware of what was available to us in the area. Even though we weren't the only guests there for our entire stay, they made us feel like we were. The room was so comfortable and clean. Breakfast, each morning, was AMAZING! All in all, it was a great experience and we defnitely plan to return in the future!

My husband and I spent an amazing week at the Chalet of Canandaigua last week for our honeymoon. It was even more wonderful than the reviews can say. It's secluded off the main road but located conveniently close to downtown Candaigua. We stayed in the Lee Suite and didn't ever want to leave... amazing bedding, beautiful fireplace, comfortable chairs and a really wonderful bathroom. Everything was spotless and in beautiful condition. When we first arrived Margaret and Patti really helped us with with getting to know the area and our suite. The breakfasts were the best we ever had (seriously) and they're recommendations for dinner and things to see in the area were beyond helpful. We're already saving up for another trip to the Chalet and can't wait to return. Margaret and Patti are really sweet people who are obviously passionate about what they do and provide an amazing escape close to the Finger Lakes wineries. I would recommend that Chalet to anyone!!

Our stay was only one night, but it was awesome. The Woodsview Suite was "sweet." The innkeepers. Patti and Margaret treated us like we were friends, and served us like we were royalty. If you stay at the Chalet, you will be impressed. Dan Carman

My husband and I stayed at the Chalet last weekend and loved every second of it. The drive up to the Chalet on the winding drive and around the pond puts you at peace before you even step foot into the B&B. We were greeted by the friendly innkeepers, Patty and Margaret. Both were very welcoming and provided us a full tour of the stunning Chalet. The warm woodwork and comfy furniture is very inviting through the entire B&B. There are breathtaking views from the porch. We were brought to our room which was the Balcony suite. We had a king bed and a huge updated bathroom with a soaking tub for two and a stand alone shower. We have never had a bathroom even close to comparison at any other B&B. The room was quaint and cozy yet spacious with a two sided fireplace and skylights above the bed. The innkeepers were very knowledgable of the area and gave great recommendations for things to do and see in the area as well as restaurants to eat at. We took a class at the nearby NY Wine and Culinary Insitute which was so much fun! We had homemade apple pie waiting for us when we returned from dinner and a fantastic 3 course breakfast in the morning! Our stay at the Chalet far exceeded our expectations for a quiet anniversary weekend without kids in every way possible. We felt comfortable and at home the entire time. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet getaway!

Patty & Margaret were the best B&B inn keepers we have ever met. I planned a surprised birthday weekend for my husband and they went well above and beyond anything that I could have hoped for. The dinning experience and the food were the best since our honeymoon. We plan on coming back every year and will have dinner in rather than going out, you will not have a better time, meal or experience anywhere that will compare to the Chalet!

This is a beautiful B&B in a beautiful setting. It has woods in the back and a pond in the front. The public areas and our room were lovely and unique - modern in a log cabin. We enjoyed having a large tub and a separate large shower. The breakfast was delicious - creative and well cooked, including the best scone I've ever had. And the innkeepers made us feel that we were visiting friends. They made sure we went to good restaurants and helped us plan our day. I've stayed in many B&B's, and this one has it all - facility, food and hospitality.

We stayed at The Chalet on our way from NYC to Toronto...what a find...the Balcony Suite was the best, they have thought of everything to make our stay relaxing. The breakfast was fantastic, the best Eggs Benedict I ever had. We highly recommend The Chalet and will be back again!

My wife and I booked a two day stay at the Chalet after seeing reviews on this site and Trip Advisor. The Chalet and its wonderful owners, Margaret and Pattie, exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the Lee Suite. It was elegantly decorated like the rest of the Chalet. It had a very comfortable king-sized bed (see photo) and an amazing bathroom complete with a large walk-in shower and a GIANT soaking tub. Margaret and Pattie were just amazing hosts. They attended to our every need and yet gave us space to relax and enjoy the Great Room (see photo). If you love food, you will be in heaven at Breakfast. It consists of three courses, one from Pattie, one from Margaret, and the third prepared by both of them. The second day our breakfast was the best we have ever had at a B & B, and we have stayed at many of them. The photo of breakfast is the third course from our second morning, which included French toast with mascarpone filling topped with a fruit compote. If you are looking for a peaceful, elegant, yet comfortable B&B, with charming hosts and AMAZING food, you need to go to the Chalet.

My daughter took me and two of our best friends for a wine tour and we stayed overnight at the Chalet. What a wonderful experience. It was exceptional. Hospitality, cleanliness, atmosphere, decor, and the food with all the little and big extras were suburb. We can't wait to go back in the fall to see the colors and visit with Patti and Margaret again.

We have stayed in a number of hotels and B&Bs, but this is one of the best!!!! There are a number of amenities in the room that make it heavenly: the decadently comfortable pillow top bed, the towel warmer in the bathroom, the Victorian soaking tub that easily fits two full sized adults. Some B&Bs serve a simple breakfast of bacon and eggs. The Chalet has kicked this up a notch with bistro level food. For our breakfasts they served a Bananas Foster on Waffles one day and a meatless Eggs Benedict that were to die for....It snowed the weekend we were there and it was quite romantic looking out from our room seeing the show fall down through the trees. We will definitely be back

The chalet is cozy and charming, the bathrooms are magnificent, the food was phenomenal but the key deiiferentiators are Patti and Margaret, the Innkeepers. They are so lovely and attentive. It is truly an escape.
