Also Known as "Serenity on the Bluff", the home received it's 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. Over time the vineyards were abandoned and were gradually replaced with campsites, seasonal cottages and year round homes.

Our group does an annual wine trip to the Finger Lakes, in October 2011 we rent this house and it was perfect! We planned for 15 in atendance but ended up with 13, mostly couples. This property has a great number of bedrooms and living space for privacy. Plus a great person to bathroom ratio!! Other things we noticed having rented on all the lakes; there was ample seating, serving ware, utensils, pots and pans! it was great! there were also items in teh kitchen we didn't expect but loved having, like a crock pot! the location is goregous and even in the chillier fall weather we were toasty in this house! this property is definitely is on our return list!
Recommended for:Girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Wedding Party

Thank you for sharing your property for our wedding weekend. We were married June 25, 2011 at Keuka College. Our entire wedding party (15 adults and a few kids) spent a comfortable extended weekend at Serenity on the Bluff. This property was perfect for our needs and has everything you would need to host a large group of people. The house is clean and well kept. Most of our friends were traveling from out of state and this was the most reasonable option for everyone to be able to stay in the same place. We were able to host a small rehearsal dinner on the deck. My husband was able to rent a boat & dock it overnight. He spent the day on the lake with his groomsmen while my bridesmaids & I enjoyed a wine tour. We enjoyed making smores by the firepit in the evenings, and on rainy days the kids were entertained in the playroom. The beautiful drive to town & the college was about 15-20min. Our friends were absolutely blown away by the views & sunsets. We would absolutely stay here again & look forward to making vacation plans here in the future! Our friends traveled as far as New Mexico and before everyone left were were all in agreement that we would need to come back for an 'anniversary wedding weekend reunion.' We can't thank you enough for sharing this amazing property. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU! The Newlyweds Ryan & Tracey
