Chalet of Canandaigua Bed & Breakfast

My wife and I just spent the most wonderful time at this fantastic bed and breakfast. The accommodations were perfect. The food was amazing. All from scratch by their Chef, Gracie. Could not have asked for a better night's stay. Melanie, the owner was a perfect hostess. Would recommend this to anyone.

Amazing stay! We had an absolutely fantastic time at The Chalet. The accommodations were superb and the hospitality was unmatched. Melanie made us feel so welcome and the breakfast was incredible, made fresh with local ingredients by a superlatively-talented chef (Gerardo). We will definitely be back! We highly recommend The Chalet for a romantic getaway or a family event. 5 stars!

The Chalet is a magnificent property, an elegant and modern log cabin with amazing character. Each bedroom was unique and luxurious. The common spaces in the building were large with great views and lots of seating. Gerardo made extra sure the fire was going in the living room. And what amazing breakfasts he prepared! Melanie was so warm and helpful. She gave us great suggestions for restaurants in town, and even used her "influence" to get us a last minute prime-time reservation on a Saturday night at what turned out to be one of the best German restaurants I have ever eaten. The restaurant was super fun and comfortable and belie

Wifey and I spent a few days here in mid October 2025 for our 30th anniversary. We were the only people here the first two nights. It was very quaint, cozy, private, quiet and off the beaten path compared to other FLX options. Also, Gerardo (the chef and innkeeper) is one of the nicest, kindest and personable innkeepers we’ve come across in decades. Plus he makes AWESOME breakfast! |Adam & Shelley
