Serenity Place: 5 bedroom lake home, hot tub, pool table/game room
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.
*Private lakefront on Seneca Lake *Hot tub *Game room *Pool table *Foosball *Gas fireplace *Lakefront firepit *Permanent dock with v-bottom hoist *Kayaks (available seasonally)
Inside the house you will find a roomy kitchen equipped with everything you need to cook a meal. 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 watch a show from the large screen smart tv. There are large windows overlooking the deck and Seneca Lake along with two sets of patio doors to access the deck.
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/game room area with a full sized pool/ping pong table, 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 King 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. There are 4 kayaks available for you to use during your stay (seasonally) 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!

Serenity place was the perfect location for a 30th birthday weekend celebration with friends. Conveniently located on the Seneca lake wine trail and with direct access to the lake, this home truly had it all.
My friends and I had a great stay here. Plenty of space, beautiful scenery, and no shortage of things to do. Access to the boat lift was helpful. Conveniently located between Penn Yann, Geneva, and Watkins Glen. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to enjoy the Finger Lakes.
Wonderful week on the lake. Great location for boating, bike riding on the Keuka Outlet Trail, going out for dinner, & wine tasting. Home had a lot of great amenities and high quality appliances.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.

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
This property is ideally located along Seneca Lake and provided us with a wonderful family vacation. The water access was ideal for all ages and the view was magnificent.
We loved the home, the decks, the lake, the kayaks, and location. The only problem was that the weather was very hot and humid. The next week would have been great
Serenity Place is just as advertised. Beautiful lake house with all the amenities in a secluded, quiet location but with easy access to wineries, hiking trails and all the Finger Lakes has to offer. We especially enjoyed the kayaks, hot tub and fire pit. The property management company (Linger Hospitality) was very responsive and provided excellent communication before, during and after our trip. We would definitely go again.

Very clean and comfortable. Lots of space. Loved the game room!
Great place for a family reunion. Close to wineries.
Clean and spacious with awesome views of Seneca Lake
Perfect getaway for our family. We were actually a bit quarantined because of smoke and yet enjoyed the spaciousness of the house. It is also close to wineries, nature and fun for the family.
Great space for a large family and beautiful view!
Great place and we enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and very well equipped. I don't think I have ever stayed at a property with so many instructions and reminder notes, they are posted everywhere.
