Really wonderful place! The breakfast was amazing and the hosts are great. Will definitely stay again and highly recommend. The only drawback is the location, the immediate area isn't really great, but is is a short drive to wineries and lakes.

You have to stay here!
This was the first time my husband and I stayed at a B&B and it was amazing! Chuck and Gerry really do make their place feel like home. The home was SPOTLESS, the breakfast was amazing (3 courses and Chuck is a professional Chef) and the bed was so comfy. We had a hard time leaving. I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone who is looking to stay at the finger lakes. You will not be disappointed.

I was a little nervous about traveling alone for the first time, but Chuck and Gerry were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their house is absolutely beautiful and well maintained. Breakfasts exceeded my expectations. I will be visiting again.

I can not say enough about Chuck and Gerry's hospitality. We had an amazing vacation and so glad we booked at 1897 Beekman House. Chef Chuck's breakfast is a true work of art and the flavors beautifully put together in each coarse served. Thank you for a delightful start of our day, many lovely conversations, and the warm accommodations. We really felt at home and relaxed.

Wished we could have stayed longer!
This B & B is top notch! It’s run by the nicest couple, and you can really sense that they take great pride in their home/business. The gourmet breakfasts are absolutely incredible! Right in between Lake Seneca and Lake Keuka, and so close to lots of wineries.

Anniversary trip to the Finger Lakes, NY
We just loved our time at the Beekman House. It was wonderful to meet Chuck and Jerry. A close friend of mine is a close friend of theirs, so we were looking forward to our visit very much. We spent 3 days and 2 nights there for our anniversary. The house is just gorgeous and made for a very romantic get away for us. Chuck's cooking is amazing. One morning he made quiche lorraine and it was the best I ever had. I can't do justice to the food with words. It was exquisite. He even accommodated my special dietary needs, and believe me there was no lapse in flavor! There are so many nice little touches that they include-locally made handmade soap in the bathroom, homemade caramel corn for a snack, tea and coffee available, throws so you can enjoy their porch on a cold evening, it goes on and on. The finger lakes area of course is beautiful and they are very close to some gorgeous parks and wineries. Chuck and Gerry were the icing on the cake! I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a relaxing, pampered vacation!

Amazing house, amazing hospitality
Has a very old world pleasant vibe (1900-1920's). Very turn of the century. The furnishings are gorgeous, the multi-course breakfasts are outstanding, and the hosts are amazing. You can tell they enjoy what they do and it makes a world of difference. 6/5, would definitely stay again.

Home away from home
Upon our arrival we were greeted at the door by the owners, Chuck and Gerry. They made us feel very welcomed and gave us a tour. The house is beautiful and very clean. They truly love what they are doing. Chuck is a French trained chef. Each morning we were served mouth-watering breakfasts. Chuck made everything from scratch! Gerry, his wife, set the most beautiful tables and waited in us hand and foot to the smallest detail. We were treated like royalty! What a wonderful experience.

Outstanding House and extremely warm owners
This place and these owners couldn't be nicer. Beautiful house with great woodwork nice beds and charm. The owners are wonderful and warm from helping with the luggage to showing us around the house to setting us free tasting passes to a number of wineries. The breakfast is wonderful and the owner chef deeply cares about giving you a great experience and providing you with not only great tasting food but great looking food and an excellent description of every item. The breakfast is actually a three-course breakfast wonderful. Highly highly recommend. Thanks again from Bill and Tammy!

Superb Romantic Stay
My girlfriend and I decided to take a spur of the moment trip to the finger lakes for some wine tasting and made a surprise reservation the night before we left. From the very beginning of our reservation process we knew this would be an excellent stay. Chuck and Gerry could not have made our stay more pleasant, warm, and inviting. Upon walking in we were greeted by name and given a tour of the beautiful b&b. Our room was not only beautifully decorated it was impeccably clean! The beds and rooms were extremely comfortable and it was all wrapped up in a perfect romantic setting. The breakfasts were beyond compare, as a trained chef Chuck takes a lot of pride in his cooking. This was our first stay at the beakman house but it most certainly will not be our last. We look forward to our future stays!

Wish I Could Give 6 Stars!
My partner and I recently spent two wonderful nights at Beekman House for my birthday. This was our first B&B and I truly believe we have been spoiled for life. The inn is beautiful and immaculate, the food and service are absolutely first class. From the moment we were greeted by our hosts, Chuck and Gerry, we were treated like royalty. My partner requested that I have an in-room massage and they arranged for it to happen. Three course breakfasts prepared skillfully and with love we're amazing. There was a lovely coffee/tea station, snack in the afternoon, regional wines for purchase, and on and on. I had forgotten my makeup remover and lo and behold there it was for me. We stayed in the Royal Room and the king sized bed was comfy and cozy. Even the pillows were great. It is completely obvious that Chuck and Gerry are passionate about what they do. A stay at 1897 Beekman Place is truly a wonderful experience. Don't miss it! Steve & Jo

Actually it was my first stay at a b&b but my best overnight stay anywhere. Breakfasts were nearly priceless. Very clean. Wonderful wonderful hosts. I will be back and I hope to send friends there just to hear the report. Was hard to leave. Really.
