Sutherland House Victorian Bed and Breakfast

Charming 19th-Century Retreat Close to Canandaigua's Music Scene

Modern comfort meets vintage charm at Sutherland House Victorian Bed and Breakfast, a beautifully restored adults-only inn nestled in the scenic Finger Lakes region. Just a short drive from Canandaigua Lake and local concert venues, this romantic B&B offers a peaceful, upscale escape with lush gardens, antique-filled rooms, and personalized hospitality.
Each suite is air-conditioned and features a private bathroom, plush bathrobes, a flat-screen TV with cable and Blu-ray player, and thoughtful extras like a fridge, coffee machine, and free Wi-Fi. Start your day with a full English/Irish or à la carte breakfast made with local ingredients, then explore nearby trails, museums, or lakeside views.

Why Concert-goers love it

While it’s not right in the heart of downtown, Sutherland House is a quick drive to Canandaigua’s top venues and offers a quiet, relaxing stay after a high-energy night out. The adult-only policy ensures a peaceful atmosphere, and the flexible 3:00 PM check-in gives travelers time to unwind before heading to a show. With free parking and easy access to local roads, getting to and from events is a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Couples making a weekend of it
• Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
• Budget-conscious music fans who appreciate value in a boutique setting
• Small groups of friends seeking a unique stay

Food and Drink Options

Guests rave about the homemade breakfasts served fresh each morning, perfect for those who stayed out late the night before. While there’s no on-site restaurant for dinner, the inn is close to local eateries and wine bars in downtown Canandaigua. There’s also a cozy on-site coffee shop for a pre-show caffeine boost.

Nightlife Options

Though the B&B doesn’t host live music, you’re just minutes away from Canandaigua’s vibrant dining and bar scene. Enjoy live performances, casual pubs, and wine tastings at local venues before retreating back to your tranquil suite. The outdoor fire pit is also a lovely spot to wind down with a drink.

What People Say

Guests consistently highlight the beautiful historic decor, spotless rooms, and warm, welcoming hosts. The serene garden setting and comfortable beds make it a guest favorite for rest and relaxation after a busy night. Many reviewers noted the delicious breakfast as a highlight of their stay.

Areas for Improvement

Because it’s a converted Victorian home, the layout may feel less modern to some, and there’s no late-night dining on-site. It’s also a short drive (not a walk) to concert venues, so having a car is helpful.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a peaceful, charming base with easy access to Canandaigua’s live music scene, Sutherland House Victorian Bed and Breakfast delivers comfort, style, and memorable hospitality.
