Karin is an excellent hostess. The B & B is stunning but it’s Karin’s thoughtful touches that made our experience so exceptional. From her recommendations for daily activities, the sweets that are left out with the most fabulous iced tea and the AMAZING home cooked breakfast every morning made this a place that we’d go back to over and over again!

Wonderful weekend in Canandaigua! This B&B is charming, lovely memories x of history and comfort in a beautiful setting. The bed and bedding is lovely very as was the bath and accessories. The innkeeper and assistant are perfect examples of graciousness, solicitous without being intrusive. Last but in no way least, breakfast each morning was a lovely treat, highly recommend a stay here.

Wonderful B&B, highly recommended!

The B&B at Oliver Phelps exceeded my expectations in every way! My room was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and quiet. The locally sourced 3-course breakfast every morning was fantastic! Absolutely beautiful historic building in a great location that is close to lots of attractions and points of interest in Canandaigua. Karin is a great host! Stay here; you will not be disappointed!

What a magnificent stay! The facility is top-notch, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the neighborhood is clean, safe and luxurious. The grounds offer hammocks, a gazebo and several flower beds for a relaxing stay and great photo opportunities. The rooms are tidy, and well appointed. The decor is a mix of colonial charm and rustic furnishings, and you can tell a lot of thought and planning went into each piece. Each room in the house had a different, charming name. We stayed in "The Muir". The dining room had delicious cookies and cakes available all day, and we enjoyed a healthy home-cooked breakfast before leaving. I cannot rave more about what a great stay we had at this B&B. We will try to book here every time we vacation in Canandaigua.

We were there for just a single overnight stay but it was a totally enjoyable experience. Charming setting, warm and friendly host, very comfortable and spotless room, and a delicious breakfast complete with descriptions of the items and the use of lots of locally sourced ingredients.
