I cannot possibly say enough good things about our stay at Glass Magnolia. Nancy and Wally are excellent hosts - the breakfasts, homemade by Wally, were sublime. (A sampling: pumpkin pancakes with bourbon pecan sauce, mushroom omelet, eggs benedict, pancakes with apple compote, homemade maple sausage - and every breakfast came with Nancy's homemade breads and fresh fruit.)The rooms were quaint and lovely, the yard was large for our 1-year-old to crawl around and explore. Our rental car's battery died four mornings in a row and Wally was kind enough to take time out and jump the car for us each time.They are also great conversationalists with interesting stories to tell.Don't hesitate to stay here. I will never stay anywhere else in the Finger Lakes again.

This is my second time back at the Glass Magnolia B&B. I absolutely love this place- a true hidden gem. I want to keep it my little secret. Nancy and Wally are the best hosts, everything is always cozy, and it feels like home. Don’t even get me started on Wally’s cooking, I could talk about it forever. Can’t wait for trip #3! Oh and make sure, if you go, give Gus a big ole dog hug for me. He is the BEST!

This was my fifth stay here since starting in 2020. We had our wedding here last year, so we came back to celebrate. We booked the balcony room for 2 nights with the fall foliage package that includes a chauffeured wine tour and private dinner. Everyone was amazing and took good care of us. The beds are hard the showerss are small, but everything else was great! Highly recommend for a quiet weekend, being close to wineries and hiking ithaca trails.Nearby activities: So many activites to do, I still haven't done them all after 5 trips.Food & drinks: Amazing breakfast included each day.

If traveling to Watkins Glen/Lake Seneca/Ithaca area, this is a wonderfully charming B&B! Nancy & Wally are top-notch hosts. We stayed 3 nights in the spacious Windsor Suite. The extra little dressing area was a nice convenience, as was the fact that we had access to a refrigerator and sink. The breakfasts were So Delicious ~great presentation of fruits and breads, and the main dishes were always fresh-made, hot, and unbelievably scrumptious! We enjoyed chatting with our hosts each morning, and when saying goodbye our last day there, we felt like we were saying bye to dear friends. It is not your modern hotel, but rather a place filled with charm, antiques, and hand-made quilts that almost feel like a hug from the past! We will definitely stay here again next time we travel through this area.

This was a very fun trip and bed and breakfast. The hosts and their dog are great, the breakfasts they made were tasty, fun and creative. Plus there are a ton of wineries, hiking, swimming close so something for everyone to do!

The Glass Magnolia was a wonderful stay. We were greeted by Gus, a lovely black lab! The bed was great and the breakfast was to die for. Fantastic hosts, I can't recommend it more.

Spent 3 nights here and we plan to be back. Nancy was a very attentive hostess, Wally cooked up some awesome dishes for breakfast and Gus was a pleasure to interact with. We were some of the younger guests that weekend but were attended to perfectly. Wally would always greet us with " did you kids have fun today? or what's on your agenda today kids?" The location is ideal as you can access much of the regions attractions in a very short drive. We stayed in the lady Spencer room, the bed was comfortable, there was always hot water and we had just enough space. The property has charm and old world appeal, don't come expecting modern generic hotel. Hoping to be back soon with cooler weather and less smoky skies.Nearby activities: Restaurants and wineries near

Nancy and Wally are just amazing. They are genuinely kind and take pride in ensuring that guests have a great experience. We stayed in the Lord Cromwell room. The room itself is a bit dated, but it did not bother us. We enjoyed chatting with the other guests in the kitchen area nightly. We would absolutely stay here again.

Centrally located in the Finger Lakes wine country, this is a charming homestyle B&B. We booked rather late, so not much left to pick from. As a result, our room was a bit on the small size, but...our hosts were pleasant and helpful and the breakfasts were wonderful...relaxed and delicious. Glass Magnolia will be a destination for us for years to come.

We decided to go there, because the reviews of the breakfast were so fantastic. It did not disappoint, just fabulous, the quiche, sausages, zucchini bread. What a wonderful couple Wally and Nancy are, and sweet Gus. Thank you for everything!!

We really enjoyed our stay! The hosts are very friendly and accommodating, the room was clean and comfortable and breakfast each morning was delicious. We had fantastic chats with the hosts and other guest over breakfast each morning, discussing things to do and places to eat in the area. We would certainly stay here again without hesitation when we go back. This is very cosy, laid-back B&B and it's exactly how we wanted it!
