Serenity Place: lake home with hot tub, pool table/game room, and private lakefront

Welcome to Serenity Place, a haven of peace and comfort as you vacation in the Finger Lakes! This home is located on the west side of Seneca Lake—the largest and deepest of the Finger Lakes—within 15 minutes of the village of Penn Yan and 30 minutes from Watkins Glen. The quiet, dead-end road to the house contributes to the tranquility of the setting. Whether you have a group of two or ten, there's plenty of room for you to vacation in comfort.

Inside the house you will find a roomy kitchen equipped with stainless-steel appliances.  With an eat-up island for four and a dining room that seats ten, there’s plenty of indoor seating at meals.   If you love dining outside, the deck is just steps away from the dining room, through the patio doors, and has an outdoor dining set and gas grill.

The main floor has a large open cathedral ceiling in the main living area.  You can relax in the living room in front of the gas fireplace or the large screen tv with surround sound.   There are large windows overlooking the deck and Seneca Lake along with two sets of patio doors to access the deck.  The views of the lake from the living room, dining room, and outdoor deck are stunning and expansive!

Tucked behind the main living area are the two main floor bedrooms, both with Queen size beds, and the newly renovated main floor full bath with a tiled shower.

Upstairs you'll find two more bedrooms, both attached to a full bath with a tub/shower.  Bedroom 3 has a Queen size bed and is very spacious.  Bedroom 4 has a Twin/Double bunk combo.

On the lower floor is a lovely, large family room area with a full sized pool table, ping pong, foosball, TV/DVD player and a lounge area.  There are plenty of games, toys and books for the kids and a table to sit down and enjoy a glass of wine while you watch a game or sit up to for a game of your own.    This room has sliding glass doors that look over the lake and go out onto the covered patio which has a hot tub and outdoor dining table.  Enjoy soaking in the hot tub while you watch the water on the lake!

Bedroom 5 is located in the lower level and has a Queen bed as well as patio doors to the hot tub area.

The clear view to the east gives you the perfect place to catch the sunrise as you sip your morning coffee from the deck or the patio areas. Use the lawn chairs in the grass area by the lake to relax and watch the lake or enjoy a campfire on the lakefront during the evenings.  Sit on the upper deck and view the evening lake scenes as you prepare your supper on the deck grill.  There are 4 kayaks available for you to use during your stay if you choose to get out on the water.  The dock also has a boat hoist available for use to keep a v-bottom boat during your stay.

As a guest, you'll find no lack of things to do around you. Serenity Place is located just off of the Seneca Lake wine trail, and is just minutes away from the Climbing Bines Brewery and hops farm. The Village of Penn Yan is just a few miles down the road and contains dining options, coffee shops, and grocery stores. If you're looking for more options, the City of Geneva has a wider variety of dining venues, grocery options etc.

Come stay at Serenity Place, and experience the Finger Lakes vacation of your life!

Fall trip
We had an excellent experience. The home was as advertised. The kitchen was well stocked. We had a very minor issue with the hot water heater. It was addressed immediately and to our satisfaction. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location, beautiful view, excellent accommodation. We spent much time on the deck in great conversation enjoying the views and vibe. A simple suggestion- procure a new toaster!

A perfect stay!
Accommodations were fantastic. Despite some terrible weather we had everything we needed to entertain adults and 4 kids. The entertaining space downstairs with toys, games, fooseball table, pool table and hot tub were an awesome addition. Great communication from the management company. Beautiful lake views. Would definitely recommend.

All Signs Point to a Great Time!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. House was clean and had plenty of space for our group of 10. The view was amazing from the deck and dock. We enjoyed paddling in the kayaks, playing games, cooking family meals together, soaking in the hot tub, and sitting by the firepit at night. We took in several hikes, visited nearby towns, and sampled local wine, beer, and ice cream. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Special find!
The views from this lakefront home are so beautiful. The home is spacious, open, clean and especially comfortable. It offers peaceful moments to relax and unwind, as well as a game room for some fun. This is a special find!

Birthday celebration
Perfect property for a platinum milestone birthday celebration for 6 high school friends. Lots of places to sit and talk for hours. Kitchen was open so no one was left out. Living room was comfortable for watching a movie in the evening. Sitting outdoors with the beautiful lake views was a favorite. Lots of beds and bathrooms so everyone was comfortable.

Serenity on Seneca Lake
We’ll equipped lakefront home. Accommodated 8 adults and a 7-month old child comfortably for 2 weeks. Four adults of our party worked remotely a few days with no Wi-Fi issues. Crib and high chair were obviously a welcome feature for the child. Kayaks a plus. Communication with management was great. They are very responsive.

Perfect Serene Oasis
This house on the lake was absolutely PERFECT for getting away from it all with some friends. The listing was pretty spot-on - nice, easy access to the water, and everything was clean and in good shape. The kitchen was well-stocked, and there was plenty of bedding, towels, etc. Good, quick communication from the owners. Although the neighboring houses are relatively close by, the trees on either side make it feel like you’re alone on the lake. NOTE: as of our trip in May ‘23, Google Maps was leading us astray - it tried to take us down Hansen Point Rd off of Rte 14, instead of the correct Perry Point Rd, which is about a mile up the road.

Top Notch Rental!
After having rented numerous places in the Finger Lakes for our yearly girls weekend, I can honestly say this is the best house we've ever stayed in! The notes everywhere we so helpful; explicit instructions on the TV etc were easy to figure out. This house lacked for nothing; kitchen fully stocked, games, movies, large living space, beautiful setting, and more space than we needed. I can't imagine looking for a different place next year. If we could leave one suggestion, the WIFI was not very strong, which was surprising since everything else was perfect. Thank you so much for sharing your lake house with us!

Grown sibling getaway
I was looking for a house that could comfortably hold 5 adults in separate rooms. Serenity place was perfect! Although also good for families with children, there were 5 bedrooms and all had double beds. (Also two addt’l single beds, one a top bunk, that we did not need.) The pool/ping pong and fuseball tables were all enjoyed. As well as the hot tub, fire pit and kayaks. Truly, everything we needed to have a fun vacation was there. The location was also fantastic; on the west side of Seneca Lake it was conveniently located to a lot of attractions (Watkins Glen State Park, WG Raceway, towns of WG, Penn Yan, Seneca. And, of course plenty of wineries.) The house was also spotless! Beautiful decks. Truly, there wasn’t anything missing and we will definitely stay here again.

Excellent home
We've stayed in a number of VRBOs over the years. This was one of the best. The home has obviously been well taken care of. Hands down the cleanest location we've ever stayed. The property manager is responsive. Oooh, and there's a cute little fox family that lives up the street. We saw them a few times on the road. You will not go wrong renting this home! Highly recommend. A few considerations - google maps does not seem to understand that the road exisits. Turn by the company sign Ferro, not where Google maps takes you!!! The owners have a lot of local recommendations in the white binder. Make sure to look at it.

Disappointed
While our time spent with our children for three nights/4 days was wonderful, The property itself was not as expected. The bathrooms and bedrooms were clean however, there is a lot of deep cleaning needed at this home. The windows were dirty, which made viewing the lake, not pleasant from inside. The sliding doors don’t work great, and only a couple had screens which were ripped and dirty, and difficult to slide. The basement area could use a fresh coat of paint, especially going down the stairs. There was ping-pong in a pool table, which was super fun, but the accessories are falling apart and need to be replaced. The home didn’t have a comfy feel to it especially since our stay was during the holiday that would have been a nice touch. There was a sad, looking artificial tree that had two strings of lights on it and one string didn’t work. There were excessive amounts of notes everywhere in the home, which was information included in the email from the property manager via email, as well as in binder. The floors are exceptionally squeaky to the point where it would wake people up sleeping in the nearby bedrooms either below or next to the bathroom on the first and the second floor. The area is wonderful the town is nearby. The lake is beautiful. Please take these as constructive criticism to give your renters a more pleasant experience. My family and I travel a lot and use VRBO This was not one of our favorites

We really loved this property. The view was outstanding and the house was fully stocked. Instructions for everything was super helpful. Centrally located and no lack of things to do. There were 8 of us and plenty of room for everyone. The openness of the kitchen/dining/living room was really nice as everyone was always involved wherever they were. I would absolutely stay here again.

Friends Gateway
Great views of Seneca Lake! A very spacious house with many amenities for a four couple gateway. We had a lovely stay overall, but we did notice that the outdoor grounds and inside lights could use a bit more attention, as there were many bugs and cobwebs in certain areas. A little extra care in that regard would make the property even more enjoyable. Thank you for hosting us!
