As if I had walked through the looking glass into a bygone age, I found myself confronted with wonderfully large rooms with extremely high ceilings and nine foot high doors that were faux painted to resemble fine hardwoods...Charlotte Bronte'

this romantic bed and breakfast combines Victorian elegance and charm with a warm and friendly atmosphere that is intended to make "you " feel welcome. There is no stuffiness, no reserved or pretentious attitudes, no "Please don't touch that is an antique", but instead a sincere "do make yourselves to home" ambiance . I love what I do and I love each and every guest that passes through the portals of this awesome house. It is not a showcase, it is  home and I would love to  share it with each and everyone of you. What I do, I do because I love to do it. That is my job description.  It is the showcase of my heart and hopefully it is reflected throughout the entire b&b.  So. . .  each  spacious room is a unique experience in pampered luxury. Carefully chosen Victorian themes bring together authentic period antiques, family heirlooms, and exacting reproductions to create the mood of long-age charm and romance and to make you fall in love while you are here. After all I do want you to come back again and soon.

  welcome "You" to the Woodworth House!

he former Woodworth Homestead, built in 1860 is believed to have been a stop on the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. It was sold in 1960 and soon fell into utter disrepair. After only a few years the house became unoccupied and remained vacant for fifteen years until 1998, when we lovingly restored the home, transforming it one of the most romantic Finger Lakes bed and breakfasts; the Villa Serendip Bed & Breakfast.

e have been fortunate to acquire the genealogy The First Six Generations of the Woodworth Family in America from the descendants of Calvin Van Kirk Woodworth; brother of Samuel Fitch Woodworth, the original owner of this unique Victorian mansion. We love to help our guests with genealogical research. The Woodworth Website has wonderful information about the family. Please visit the Woodworth History web site
