1795 Acorn Inn Bed and Breakfast

Charming Country Escape Near Canandaigua’s Music Scene

This elegant and historic bed and breakfast offers a peaceful retreat in the Finger Lakes region, just outside downtown Canandaigua. Set in a beautifully restored 18th-century inn, 1795 Acorn Inn Bed and Breakfast blends timeless charm with modern comforts like free WiFi, air conditioning, and private baths. With lush gardens, cozy rooms, and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s an ideal spot to unwind after a night of live music.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just 11 miles from the CMAC Performing Arts Center, the inn is close enough for a quick drive to the show, but far enough for a serene night’s sleep afterward. The 24-hour front desk makes late-night arrivals stress-free, and the peaceful countryside setting helps guests recharge in comfort. Free parking is a plus for those road-tripping to their favorite gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends will love the relaxed common areas and garden views. Solo travelers can enjoy a safe and quiet night’s rest. Couples will appreciate the romantic charm and in-room comforts like bathrobes and soaking tubs. Fans seeking quiet after a lively show will find the atmosphere ideal. And budget-conscious music lovers will appreciate the value-packed extras like breakfast and parking.

Food and Drink Options

Start the morning right with a hearty continental or full English/Irish breakfast, served with fresh fruit and juice—perfect after a late night. While there’s no late-night restaurant on-site, the inn offers a snack bar for quick bites. Nearby Canandaigua has a range of local dining spots within a short drive.

Nightlife Options

While the inn itself is more about rest than revelry, you’re just a stone’s throw from Canandaigua’s wine bars, breweries, and lounges. For live music beyond the CMAC stage, downtown Canandaigua offers local venues and low-key nightlife that's easy to reach by car.

What People Say

Guests rave about the immaculate cleanliness, attentive service, and quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Many mention the charming decor and picture-perfect garden views. The homemade breakfasts are a definite highlight, and travelers appreciate how easy it is to get to and from shows at CMAC.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t the spot for high-energy nightlife or walkable venues—having a car is essential. Some guests noted that the old-world charm comes with a few creaky floorboards, but most found it added to the inn’s character.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a quiet, cozy home base after a concert at CMAC, 1795 Acorn Inn Bed and Breakfast is a stylish and restful choice in the heart of wine country.
