Weekend anniversary stay
We have pros and cons about the room we stayed in. Pros - felt completely safe. Shower was nice and big. Quiet and very clean. Cons were that there was NO countertop space or outlets in the bathroom. And the overall room was pretty small. Was very cheerful and warm overall. Loved the yellow bathroom.

Little slice of peace and tranquility
The Savannah House motel was a cute, clean and ever so friendly place to stay. We got to the motel a bit earlier than check in but Jeff helped us get checked in by sending me the access code for the electronic locks. He then showed us to our door and made sure we could get in easily. The room was absolutely adorable. The views out both front and back were amazing looking out to the lake and across to the grape fields. Cleanliness was beyond reproach. Everything was so clean. The home style towels and bed linens made you feel like home. There is a community fire pit off to the side that Jeff had lit both nights that we were there and several of the guests were gathered. Jeff is the owner and he was terrific in all aspects. Any questions he was there to answer. I am afraid to reccommend this place because everyone will book it and then we can't come back to visit. The location of this place is between Geneva and Watkins Glen but there is nothing right in your back yard except flowers and trees. The rooms had a listing of local spots for food, gas and entertainment so we were able to check out some of the local spots. So i will highly recommend this little slice of peace and quiet to anyone that asks. Thanks Jeff for a wonderful experience.

As a family business, we have worked hard for 18 years to provide accommodations that are clean, comfortable, relaxing, and friendly - and in keeping with the spirit of the Finger Lakes Wine Trail. Our housekeepers do an excellent job and will certainly be moved by your review.It was our pleasure having you as our guests and we hope you return. There will always be a place for you.

Not for us
The property was very pretty great view from the back. The room looked like a doll house, cute at first glance, but all in all even though clean, it was just so small and uncomfortable.I would have rather wine glasses than tiny tea cups, way to far from anything downtown. Will not be staying there again.

Thank you for sharing your experience. The Finger Lakes region and the Wine Trail are in a rural area. There are no 'downtowns' here, which is one of the main reasons people come here - to get away from the city for a few days. Also - wine glasses are available for the asking. We would have been happy to help you if you had asked.

Internet was very fast and easy to log on to. Bed was comfortable. When we had a problem with the TV, we got help immediately after texting the owner. The water was not really suitable for drinking or making the coffee, but we just bought a gallon of spring water and that solved the problem.

Thanks for sharing your experience Marjorie. Not sure what made your water unsuitable for you, but it's always best to bring things to our attention so we can remedy them. In that there were no other guests at the time you were there mentioning anything of concern about the water, and in that we drink the same water as the guests, it makes it a challenge to correct, if it needs correcting. It was great having you both as our guests and hope to see you again in the future.

Thanks for staying with us Gilbert. We are located on the main road through the Wine Trail, which most guests find to be very convenient when visiting the local wineries.. Th is also the road where all the hotels and motels have located, in order to provide convenience for their guests. So no matter where you stay, , all accommodations are subject to the same traffic. The difference here, is that our guests have 26 acres to enjoy the natural surroundings.

We stopped leaving them in every room once our guests indicated that they had concerns about using a hair dryer that others have used. It's part of a constantly evolving list of needs that our guests prefer, or no longer prefer. The same thing has evolved with clocks. Once everyone started using cell phones, they nolonger required clocks - but we're happy to provide one upon request. Thankyou for stayingwith us. You were great guests.

As previous reviews say it’s charming and quaint. We liked the ambience and the view and outdoor seating. Jeff is very helpful and lights the lanterns on a nightly bAsis. The downside is if you stay longer than a few days. There is no housekeeping. Two bath towels per person which we could never get totally dry. We stayed 6 nights. Had to go buy to and tissues and trash was overflowing. Great location for either side of Seneca lake.

Quiet & convenient to other sites
Second time staying here and we will most likely continue to. It’s a quaint and quiet inn with a lot of patio freedom! You don’t hear neighboring guests or cars passing on the road. Wifi works well. They made a few upgrades since our last stay like new shower heads and digital door locks. Advice for newcomers: the manager will text you the room number the day of your check in. Keep this number handy to request a hair dryer and iron / ironing board as there aren’t any in the rooms. It’s a convenient spot with wineries / vineyards up and down the road and just up the hill from a cute, quiet restaurant named Spalta by the water. It’s also a short drive from the nearest diner in Dundee.

It's clear that guest's expectations exceeded his experience. That experience would have been better had guest let us know about the issues he was having. We do know that the size of his room is standard for a motel, and the shower and bath tub are the normal size in every motel and home. Guest expectations vary. The great majority of our guests come to us because they value cleanliness, a spectacular natural setting overlooking the lake, dealing with a small family business, and convenience to the wineries and local attractions of most interest. But not everyone.

Some good, some bad, all in all pretty good.
We stayed in a room in the main building. It was clean, super conveniently located, and a great price for the area. View was also fantastic out the back. If you aren't planning on doing anything besides sleeping and cleaning up to go back out again its near perfect. The bed was comfortable but felt more like a Full than a Queen. The portable AC unit was loud and during the 90+ degree heat of the week was having a hard time. The room felt stuffy except at about 4am when everything had cooled off. Water pressure in the shower was awful and the unfiltered tap water wasn't be the best for drinking. Even with those downsides, the location, view, cleanliness, and price made this a pretty good place to stay.

We're glad you enjoyed your accommodations and had a good stay - and we appreciate your feedback, which allows us to fis any shortcomings if they occur.FYI - the beds are deluxe queen beds. There are no double beds. Not sure which room you were in butif we had known your AC was not performing to your expectations, we could have swapped out the unit, and also avoided discomfort for the next guests. Recently we experienced a limited and intermittent decrease in water pressure. Our service company worked at diagnosing the issue for about 3 weeks, and finally found the defective part and replaced it. Since then, pressure has been fine. Our water, like nearly every hotel and motel in the Finger Lakes, is from a well.. The system was designed by an engineer and then inspected by the Dept of Health to assure it met their requirements. which it did. The wateroperates vcery much like a city water system. As it is drawn from the well it is injected with chlorinr, then passes through an inline sediment filter, and then Through ultraviolet light to kill bacteria. It is tested every day, and samples are examined several times a year by an approved lab> Our family has owned the motel for over 16 years, and at least 1 family member has lived there every day from the beginning - and we all have been drinking that water. Guests who live in places where they have "city water" will likely seb=nse a different taste, but it's every bit as clean and safe to drink.We hope to have you stay with us again sometime. Thank you for commenting.
