Call of the Bluff | 3 Bed, 2 Bath

Call of the Bluff is a beautifully restored farmhouse set up on a hill overlooking Keuka Lake.  Just 5 minutes from Hammondsport and with a view up Keuka lake all the way up to the Keuka Lake bluff, you’ll love the view from this home!

Call of the Bluff is an old farmhouse from the early 1900’s but has been recently completely renovated and remodeled.  The furnishings are newer with that cozy farmhouse feel and you’ll find touches of “local history” all through the house. Learn a bit about Hammondsport through antique postcards dating back to 1904 framed in the dining room, along with black and white photographs of Glenn Curtiss, the Hammondsport native who was an American aviation and motorcycling pioneer!
If you’re visiting the area for the incredible Finger-lakes wineries, you’ll love the original watercolor artwork in the kitchen of some local vineyards.

Walking in from the main entry, you'll come into the fully furnished kitchen.  The kitchen has an eat-in bar area as well as a coffee bar.  The large windows in front of the sink face toward the lake, making dishes a pleasure rather than a chore!  There is a set of sliding patio doors from the kitchen out onto the deck and the grill is set up close to these doors...just a few steps from the kitchen prep area.

Just off of the kitchen, between the kitchen and the Dining room, is the first floor full bath.  This bathroom has towels racks, mirrors, and a vanity handcrafted from wine barrels and has a tub/shower.

From the kitchen, you'll walk into the Dining Room which has a large farmhouse table.  Between the Dining Room and the Living room, there is a large open window, which allows the Living Room to feel open to the rest of the house.  At the opening between the Dining Room and Living Room, there is a bar with bar stools for additional eating area and also a great spot to pull up a bar stool and enjoy a drink while watching a game on the smart TV in the Living Room.

The Living Room has couches and an entertainment center made out of barn wood, with a large TV.  There is a set of patio doors in the Living Room that go out onto the back deck, making entertainment a smooth transition from indoors to the outdoors.

The second story steps are in the corner of the Living Room and go up into a hallway.  Bedroom 1 is straight ahead and is large with 2 twins and plenty of floor room.
Follow the hallway to the right and Bedroom 2 is on the left and has a queen bed.
Following the hallway around to the right and you'll enter the Master bedroom.  The Master bedroom is very large with a closet, a King bed, patio doors out onto a large balcony complete with rockers. The upstairs full bath can be accessed by a door from the Master bedroom but also has a doorway to the hallway which allows it to be used as a Master bathroom or to be used as a shared bathroom for the other bedrooms.  The balcony has a superb view of the lake valley below and you can see the whole way up the lake to the point of the Bluff. We highly recommend bringing out your morning coffee or afternoon wine to enjoy the view from up top!

The house has a large covered deck on the back, facing towards the views of the lake.  There is a grill for cooking up some delicious burgers, an outdoor dining set, a couple of chairs for enjoying a glass of wine and a hammock to lounge in with your favorite book.  The yard is huge with room for a game of flag football or tag.  A great place to let the kids run!  There is a fire-pit close to the deck for you to roast your s’mores during the long summer evenings.

We do allow for one pet dog at this home....one well mannered, house trained dog under 50#.   We are not able to allow for other pets such as cats, birds, etc and only one dog per guest stay (no exceptions).

Call of the Bluff is located right along a main county road and is easily accessible with only 5 minutes to Hammondsport and 15 minutes to Watkins Glen.  The house sits in a rural area and you'll love to watch the wildlife and the deer or the small foxes that roam in the meadow below the house.  With such a gorgeous view and close proximity to the lake and town, you're going to love staying at Call of the Bluff!
