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...

 this
romantic bed and breakfast combines Victorian elegance and charm with
a warm and friendly atmosphere that is intended to make "you "
feel special. 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. 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-ago 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.
Please feel free to make yourself at home

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
