We've been spending vacations at the Silver Strand for more than ten years now. Maura and Skip are the perfect hosts, always making us feel completely at home. The location couldn't be better, just across the road from the lake and a short walk to the Sheldrake Point Winery. We usually take one of the rooms on the lake-facing side... More

The Silver Strand at Sheldrake is in a lovely location in the Finger Lakes offering easy access to a wealth of wineries and cheese tasting attractions. My husband and I loved the wonderful hospitality, the gourmet breakfasts, and access to a variety of boats for fishing. The atmosphere was casual and warm. We would highly recommend staying at the Silver... More

We really thought this was an ideal location. You will get lots of debate on which of the lakes are the best, and we really enjoyed Cayuga, and this B&B is right on the lake. They have a dock to sit out and enjoy the sights (with some of that Finger Lakes wine). We spent time on the lake on... More

Just returned from a two night get-a-way at the Silver Strand. We were in room #3 which had a great view of the lake and a very nice balcony with two chaise lounge chairs. The room was comfortable (not my style of decor) but that's ok. This B&B is old but charming. Maura introduced herself upon our arrival and we... More

This is our 9th stay at the Silver Strand and each one has been flawless. The site on Cayuga Lake is spectacular. The owner, Maura, is one great hostess and manager of this sterling and quaint operation. She makes us feel like family and we look forward to our stay each year. The rooms are lovely and the views of... More

After much research we opted to stay at this B&B. However despite the fantastic location and the charming property the experience itself was disappointing. When we arrived at about 4pm there was no-one on the property. The house was unlocked and by the front door was a small notice with a printed sheet of paper stating where each of the... More

If you are travling to the Finger Lake reigon of New York state try to include this B & B. Great old world rooms an unbeatable porch and unbeliveable breakfasts served up by a charming inn keeper. I would not stay anywhere else!

My wife and I spent a weekend at the Silver Strand based, in large part, on the favorable tripadvisor reviews- Let us echo those compliments- Maura was a fine hostess, attending to any needs w/o "hovering"- Her breakfasts were filling, uniques, and outstanding- Eating them on the wrap-around porch was extra special- We stayed in room #2- What a great...

We just returned from a two night stay. I loved it so much that my husband had to drag me out when it was time to go. We had a lake-view room with a balcony where we enjoyed morning coffee delivered to us pre-breakfast. Breakfast is home cooked and gourmet. We swam in the lake off the dock. Unfortunately we... More
