Story

The Clematis Inn is located in the historic area known as Lovett's Corner in Penfield, New York. Built in 1900, the Inn is the former home of James I. George, co-owner of the George Brothers Nursery, which once shared this site. The Edwardian style of the Inn is enhanced by a fireplace, warm chestnut woodwork, oak floors and an Art Nouveau decor. The stained glass and leaded windows, along with the antiques found decorating each room, impart an atmosphere of warm and relaxed elegance.

Wake up to a full breakfast prepared with organic and/or local New York state products served in the dining room, solar room, or, if you choose, weather permitting, on the patio.

We offer password-coded WiFi, maps, local information, and arrange dinner reservations. Enjoy walking on the low-impact trails in the Sherwood Fields Park, an 82-acre nature preserve, across the road from the Inn. The Clematis Inn is certified as a Bike Friendly Business by the Parks & Trails New York and the New York State Canal Corporation.

The Inn is the former home of James I. George, co-owner of the George Brothers Nursery, which once shared this site. The nursery's specialty was the clematis vine, which erupt with color in the spring and give the Inn its name. The current owner and innkeeper, Theda Ann Burnham, has restored the property to its original beauty and has decorated the interior, which is an Edwardian style, in the Art Nouveau decor.
