"Serenity on the Bluff", the home received its name because it is located in an area of Yates County known as Bluff Point. Bluff Point is the peninsula what separates the East and West branches of Keuka Lake. Long ago the shores of Bluff Point were covered with vineyards and dotted with steam boat landings to ferry people and agricultural products to the three towns on Keuka Lake (Penn Yan, Branchport and Hammondsport). Over time the vineyards were gradually replaced with campsites, seasonal cottages and year round homes.
This home was finished in the year 2000 and has approximately 4000 square feet of living space. The home includes six bedrooms including one bedroom with a balcony, four full baths. The main floor has an open floor plan including a large living room, dining and kitchen area. There is also a recreation/game room, and huge partially-covered deck.
This home faces West and is located near the tip of the peninsula that separates the East and West branches of Keuka Lake. The main floor has an open floor plan, that included a large living room with a wood burning fireplace, dining area, and kitchen. In addition there are three bedrooms, each with its own queen-size bed. Two of the bedrooms face the Keuka Lake. The third bedroom is on the wooded side of the home and has its own private full bathroom with a shower. Off the main hall is a full bathroom with a tub/shower. Adjacent to the dining area is a huge, partially-covered deck. The deck is furnished with tables, chairs, bar set, charcoal grills, play houses for children and the jetted hot tub. The deck is surrounded by a railing/fence with latch-able gates. The deck faces the Keuka Lake and is fantastic for dining, relaxing, and enjoying the breath-taking Keuka Lake sunsets.
The upper floor has two huge bedrooms and a full bath with a tub/shower. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, day bed with a trundle and a private covered porch that faces the Keuka Lake. The second bedroom has a king-size bed, day bed with a trundle and faces the Keuka Lake.

Additionally, the recreation/game room has a large picture window facing Keuka Lake. The home and yard is surrounded on three sides by woods. There a large off-street parking area for at least nine vehicles and/or boat trailers. The parking area is at the end of a long semi-private driveway and within 20 feet of the home. Also, adjacent to the deck is a fire ring surrounded by benches and chairs. The fire ring is is a fantastic place to gather with your family or spend a romantic evening roasting marshmallows under the stars. Camp fire wood is provided.
Access to the lake is located in front of the home via a path and stairway with 128 steps and four landings that weaves around whispering pines and culminates on the 40 plus foot long dock. The shoreline is natural and unspoiled, including a dock, and swim raft. From the shoreline the water has a very gradual increase in depth as one walks into the lake. The lake bottom is hard and consists of shale, stones and rocks of various sizes. Water shoes, sneakers or other foot protection are a recommended due to the natural shale bottom and zebra mussels.

This is the perfect rental for any occasion! Bill was beyond helpful, accommodating, and genuinely kind. A group of 20 girls just stayed here for a bachelorette party, and it was absolutely perfect. The house easily fit all 20 of us, and it was undoubtedly the cleanest/ nicest rental property I have ever stayed in. The views are breathtaking and the house is somehow even better than the pictures! I couldn't recommend this property more and will definitely be coming back!

Our group of 10 long time friends recently stayed at Serenity on the Bluff and no one wanted to leave! This beautiful home was just perfect.....from the spectacular views, to the well equipped kitchen, and more than enough space to enjoy time together, both indoors and out! There was not a thing that we could have needed that the owner, Bill, did not have stocked. And clean! This house was spotless!
And speaking of Bill - I was impressed by his phone call the evening before our arrival, checking to see if we had any questions, or needed anything. His recommendations for places to visit were also appreciated and spot on! He was very responsive to the few questions we needed to ask during our stay.
The location was nice and quiet, and while it might seem a little remote, was within easy driving distance to Penn Yan, Branchport and Hammondsport wineries, restaurants and other points of interest. Not to miss, if you stay here, is Garrett Chapel, located about a mile from the home. Just gorgeous!
Thank you again Bill - we cannot wait to return!

What a GREAT house for large families. VERY clean, VERY well stocked, everything you need. Quiet location. It was great having a bedroom for each couple and my MIL. We enjoyed spending time on the deck and walking along the access road. Owner was great - responsive and helpful. The stairs to the lake are a hike up and down, but are as advertised. Everyone agreed the house was terrific. NOTE: Waze gives great directions to the house, Apple Maps does NOT.

Our family of 16 thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of Serenity on the Bluff. The name is a beautiful description of the home and property. Bill was extremely helpful throughout the planning and the visit. Always answered any question or need quickly. House is spacious and well equipped with activities and supplies for adults and children. We enjoyed indoor and outdoor spaces. Keuka Lake is stunning and the water is beautiful. Water shoes definitely needed. The steps are quite the hike but well worth it. Dock has one connection that can be a tripping hazard and would be helpful to have orange caution tape across. Location is remote and quiet but Penn Yann is very accessible for groceries. We had ages 4 - adult and the fun never stopped. Every member rates this vacation and stay 5 stars. Thanks again, Bill, for sharing your lovely lake home.

We couldn't have asked for a better family vacation. Bill is one of the nicest property owners we've had the pleasure of working with to spend some time on Keuka Lake. His rental house is easily accessible, well maintained, and very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the oversized deck, fire pit, and hot tub very much. It was also very easy to cook our meals in the well stocked kitchen and we ate way too much good food! This next comment will sound funny, but we appreciated the exercise from using the staircase to the water to burn off some calories from all of our eating and drinking. Haha
The lake area has a dock and swim platform and if you rent a boat you're all set for exploring the larger area of beautiful Keuka Lake. (We were able to watch the fireworks in Branchport by boat). Thank you, Bill, for giving us the opportunity to rent your wonderful property. We had a great time!

We rented Serenity on the Bluff for our family of 14 to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We found the house clean and very well equipped, everything we brought along "just in case" was not needed. The owner Bill was very accomodating, both in planning the trip and during the week. We spent a lot of time on the beautiful porch and enjoyed the fire pit almost every evening. Our family enjoyed the close proximity to the many wineries in the area. I was very surprised and pleased to receive our security deposit and a wonderful thank you note in less than a week.

If you have a large family or group looking for a peaceful and beautiful setting, look no further. The owner is an exceptional man who is always quick to respond to any need. His pictures do not do justice to this home.

Thank you Bill. Everyone in our party expressed great accolades over Serenity. Your home exceeded all expectations and was perfect for our extended family reunion. I have rented many properties but this was the best equipped home ever. Cooking for large groups is never easy but everything we needed to pull of a meal for our family was there. Thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful home.

Beautiful views, clean, rooms very spacious, plenty of gathering space. Our family of 17 all enjoyed themselves. Owner extremely accommodating and friendly.
