Bluff`s Charm | 3 Bed, 2 Bath

Bluff's Charm is a cozy spot on Keuka Lake's east side, in the East Bluff neighborhood, just minutes from the Village of Penn Yan.  This lake home is on a large lot, has over 150' of private lakefrontage (which is hard to come by on Keuka Lake!), making it a great home to vacation in if you like a bit of quiet and privacy around you.  The lakefront has a lovely pebble beach area, cabana, and a permanent dock along with a firepit down on the lake.

Bluff's Charm is a one story home with a large wrap around deck, a wonderful place to sit and watch the water, catch sunrises/sunsets, or do some bird watching.  The house sits down from the main road and the parking area, which can accommodate up to 3 cars. The house is accessed, from the parking area, by several flights of stairs.
.
As you walk in the front door, you'll enter the open main living area with plenty of windows and patio doors looking out over the lake.  The kitchen is a comfortable space, fully stocked with cookware and dinnerware.  The Dining and Living areas are comfortably furnished with views of the lake.  There is a full bath (tub/shower) and laundry located off of the kitchen area

From the main living area, you can access the hallway leading to the 3 bedrooms.  The Master bedroom is at the end of the hall with a king size bed.  A full bath is located beside the master bedroom and has a tub/shower.  Bedroom two is just down the hall and has a Twin over Full bunk bed.  Bedroom 3 is at the opposite end of the hall and has a Full size bed.

You can find outdoor furniture on the deck surrounding the house, and going down the flights of stairs to the lake, you'll find a wonderful little cabana.  This cabana is the quaint original cottage and has windows that open to the lake, a refrigerator and lounge furniture.  If you're looking for a spot to relax and get out of the sun for a few minutes, you're going to love the cabana.  On the yard area outside of the cabana, you'll find a firepit on the lake shore for roasting those toasty marshmallows.

The pebble beach area extends out from the yard, along the shoreline and there is a private permanent dock for guest use, along with a kayak and a canoe.  With over 150' of private shoreline/lakefront, Bluff's Charm is an absolute gem for privacy on the lake during your vacation and plenty of room to enjoy the lake.

If you're looking for a laid back getaway on Keuka Lake, Bluff's Charm is the perfect spot for you!

The Bluff's Charm has charm to spare!
We loved our stay at Bluff's Charm. The pictures and property description are perfectly accurate. It is a quiet, relaxing place. We appreciated all the little details: the hosts even left us eclipse glasses! And yes, there are LOTS of steep stairs. However, each staircase leads to a landing with a bench and a view. In fact, there are many delightful seating areas on the property, from cozy living room sofas, to the deck just outside it, to the brand new dock and the enchanting cabana. Lovely spots to enjoy a cup of coffee, a good book or conversations with friends. Plenty of room in the house for the seven of us. And the kitchen was first rate. Our stay at Bluff's Charm was far too short, but we do hope to return!

A fine few days with friends and wine
Great location and a very clean and comfortable house. We have already made reservations to return next year. Only wish there had been clearer information about the number of stairs involved, both from the street to the house and the house to the beach. Not a deal breaker but awareness beforehand would have helped. This would not be a place for folks with mobility issues. Great place! Definitely recommend.

Lovely Week at the Lake
Everything was as expected, clean and comfortable. There are a lot of stairs to water so this might be difficult for very young kids or older adults.

Relaxing week
The description of the property was accurate and helpful particularly the info on the number of steps down to the lakefront. This was helpful in planning. The house was immaculately clean, large, comfortable and stocked with everything you could need to feel at home. We particularly loved how many games, puzzles and books were available to keep us involved and engaged with each other. While communication on office hours was clear about the hours of availability they were nonetheless very responsive after hours. We would definitely stay here again.
