Tucked along the quiet banks of the Seneca Cayuga Canal and just minutes from downtown Geneva, Riverside Retreat is a peaceful waterfront getaway where you can relax, reconnect, and enjoy the best of the Finger Lakes. With nearly two acres of open space and the Seneca River flowing right past your doorstep, this cozy cottage is perfect for families, couples, or small groups looking for a mix of tranquility and adventure. Bring your boat or rent one nearby—Riverside Retreat has everything a boater could ask for. A private on-site boat launch makes getting on the water a breeze, and the large dock can accommodate multiple boats. You'll have direct access to Seneca Lake in less than a quarter mile, and just across the river you'll find a full-service marina for fuel, supplies, and bait. Whether you're here to fish, cruise, or simply soak in the scenery, this location couldn't be better. Inside, you'll feel right at home. The open living area features skylights, wood floors, and large windows that fill the space with natural light and views of the canal. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for easy meal prep—ample counter space, quality cookware, and plenty of room to gather while dinner's in progress. Enjoy a casual breakfast before heading out for the day, or share a Finger Lakes wine tasting at the dining table as the sun sets over the water. The living room offers a comfortable place to unwind with plush seating and views of the river. It's the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee while watching herons and ducks drift by or to curl up with a good book after a day on the lake. Three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for up to six guests. Two bedrooms are furnished with queen beds, and the third features a full-size futon—ideal for kids or an additional guest. The home's bathroom includes a combination tub and shower and carries a subtle nautical touch that fits perfectly with the canal setting. Outside, you'll find plenty of ways to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A spacious patio offers outdoor dining and lounging areas, and the expansive yard is great for games, picnics, or simply relaxing in the sun. In the evenings, gather around the fire pit near the water's edge to roast marshmallows and stargaze under the wide Finger Lakes sky. Riverside Retreat is just five minutes from the shops, restaurants, and conveniences of Geneva. Spend the day exploring local wineries such as Ventosa, Zugibe, or Three Brothers, or take the kids to Seneca Lake State Park for a bike ride or a splash in the water. Everything you need for a relaxing getaway is close by—but once you settle in at Riverside Retreat, you might not want to leave. Whether you're watching boats glide by from the patio, exploring nearby vineyards, or ending the night by the fire, Riverside Retreat is the perfect home base for your next Finger Lakes escape. \*\*Old stone pump house is located on the property. \*\*Your safety matters to us!

Plenty of space for us and them. Clean and well kept cabin. When they say bring condiments, they mean it. All the cabinets were cleaned out of the usual salt and pepper and random spices left by others. But there were plenty of pans and other kitchen accessories to cook with. ##### Megan D.

So clean and well kept, no problems with anything! It was so quiet at night, in the morning you can hear the birds and geese. Ample towels etc supplied, fully stocked kitchen and not with cheap items. The main bedroom has bird feeders outside the windows you can watch as you wake up, just another added touch. I enjoyed sitting on the dock in the morning and enjoying the wildlife. Already looking at dates to reserve for next year! ##### Coulette K. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aubrey L. 2 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice view great cabin Three adults and two dogs stayed for just over a week. Lots of wildlife. We saw plenty of squirrels, a mink along the shoreline, eagles, and kingfishers in the trees. The groundhog that lives under the deck liked to sun in the morning. The location was perfect for the activities that we did. Some road noise was loud, but overall not too bad. It was neat to see the rowing teams practice in the early mornings. There was lots of boat traffic but it wasn’t loud or obnoxious. The yard was fabulous to walk the dogs. They enjoyed swimming and watching the squirrels. We felt safe and enjoyed our time. The drive in past the trailer park made me suspicious but we didn’t have any problems. The loveseat is extremely uncomfortable, and should be replaced. The futon was also fairly uncomfortable, and would be better suited for a child, not an adult. A full-size bed could fit in that room. ##### Aubrey L. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly S., MACUNGIE 16 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing private cabin I'll admit, I was a bit leery about the lack of online reviews for several years...as well as traversing the winding gravel road, PAST the "Do Not Enter" signs at the start of the property. We were happy to find a very neat, very clean cottage which was perfect for my husband, me, and our two young dogs (2 yrs and 1 yr). We loved the set-up of the cabin -- we stayed in the bedroom nearest to the bathroom, while our dogs slept in their crates in the living room area. My in-laws visited for one night and slept in the front bedroom off of the living area. Having a dishwasher and washer/dryer was a godsend. The "auto" setting for the dryer did not seem to work as well, but the "timed" setting did. My dogs LOVED the two-acre property to run around. We had a fire in the firepit one night, which was lovely. We watched the scull teams practice morning and evening, and a touring boat went by the last morning prior to our departure. I did not want the dogs to go into the water -- the shore was a bit "mucky," with sea grass along the way. The only thing I would wish for would be an outdoor hose, if needed to wash off pups. The weather was a bit too cool for us to take out the kayaks, but it was nice to have them available. There were no trash/recycling bins on the property or at the mailbox (other than the neighbor's bin). Trash/recycling day is on Monday. I contacted Premier, spoke with Louella and Jen, and they had folks pick up our trash twice. Excellent service and pick-up! ##### Kimberly S.

We love where it is for going out on our kayaks. It’s a very nice place to stay. Wish the beds were larger and a little bigger kitchen table. Some other reviewers said the road noise was loud but we were busy during the day on the water or wine exploring and at night it is not as busy on the roadway and rather quiet. Great place to stay! Close to many stores and wineries. ##### Deborah C.

Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cheryl W. 5 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Nice for wildlife The property itself was large and pretty however the house itself needed some serious cleaning on the outside. Being on a private road map assistance had a little trouble routing us there. The gas grill was a plus. Inside was ok, kitchen had basics but lacking in anything special including decent sized coffee mugs. Most disappointing were the towels. We were given exactly one towel and washcloth per person and they were paper thin. Had to resort to doing laundry on my vacation because the towels were so bad. The couches could use replacing as well- they were shot. The fire pit was placed in an odd spot, so close to the water you couldn’t get more than 2 chairs around it. The best parts of the stay were being to close to downtown Geneva and the wineries and the wildlife was spectacular. There were two blue heron that routinely plucked fish out of the river and sat near the dock afterwards to eat. Overall for convenience it was good, other than that it was a basic cabin feel making it an overpriced stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a5c21c3c-be9c-4a96-a55e-9cff30f80c95-1751720434023.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8507d652-4e8f-43b4-be09-ee3c7265e179-1751720434324.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6d094b71-dc4f-475e-80d3-3d84c30aa8b5-1751720434155.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1d5c75ff-2e43-4f9e-8c1c-bbd3517ab7ee-1751720434608.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cheryl W.

It was awesome that we could put in our jet skis on property. Plenty of parking for family and friends to visit. Small amount of traffic noise as cars go over the bridge (near distance) can be heard. Not a big deal. Our small golden retriever loved the deck to water to shore access. We didn’t go kayaking but certainly appreciate the access and availability. Close to stores. Nice weekend escape for a little fun, sun, water, and wine!!! ##### Carole B.

We loved the two acres right in the water. We had a few issues during our stay: the door lock would automatically unlock after we locked it with the code. This made us late to our dinner reservation and maintenance came out and had to deactivate settings in order for our door to lock appropriately. Our water heater went out mid trip, but we were able to reset it. It then went out again two days later and we were unable to reset it. Therefore we didn’t have hot water for 2 days. Also it was unclear that the property would come with canoes. I called in advance and they said it wasn’t guaranteed. Therefore I spent a lot of money to have a canoe delivered to be at our property for the week. When we arrived, there were many canoes and life jackets at the property. We could have saved money and not ordered an extra canoe to be delivered. ##### Jessica S.

We had a wonderful, relaxing time at Riverside Retreat. Nothing better than sitting in an Adirondack chair by the dock, reading a book and watching the boats go by. Enjoyed toasting marshmallows in the campfire. Lots of dog-friendly wineries, brew works and restaurants in the area. Would definitely go back! ##### Lori R.

Dock and boat launch were great for kayaking and fishing. TV’s in every room, cable, internet, plenty of parking and very secluded. The bad - if staying here make sure to lock up and secure all belongings that are left outside. Had a very expensive kayak stolen out of the yard one night. Living room furniture and mattresses could use updating as they were not the most comfortable. ##### Travis L.

Had an awesome Anniversary weekend with our dog. This little cabin was right near the canal, which was perfect for kayaking. Large property, so there was plenty of privacy. Inside is cute. I just wish there was at least another half bath. And you can’t tell in the pictures or description, but there is a keurig. Overall, I would recommend 100%. We had a blast and I would stay here again! ##### Jason P.

Very clean and well maintained. Lovely yard and big dock for our pontoon boat. Very close to boat launch at seneca state park. We had fun boating on seneca lake and the canal. ##### Paul M.

It was not horrible but noticeable. ##### Donna D.

This small home (cabin) is on a great property, but the nearby neighborhood you drive through is not so great. There is a highway close by as well. that being said, the home was clean and had great amenities - we especially loved the kayaks! The dock was great for sitting on to enjoy the sun, the rowers & all those leaving the marina headed for the lake. We loved being right on the canal! The firepit was fun too. The bugs (gnats and mosquitos) were terrible & there were no citronella candles provided, but we bought a ton of protection & just suffered through the multiple bites we all got. I would recommend this rental for anyone who enjoys camping as it has a similar atmosphere. ##### Kathy S.
