About this house rental
Located at the beginning of the Seneca Cayuga Canal Trail, and just minutes away from award-winning wineries; Riverside Retreat is boasting with all the comforts and luxuries of home.
This cozy cottage features nearly two acres of privacy, and the Seneca River running along the width of the property. This is truly a boater's paradise with less than 1/4 mile boat ride into Seneca Lake. A large permanent dock with bumpers can hold multiple boats, and the private boat launch on site has added benefits. Just across the river, and slightly downstream is a fully operating marina where boaters can get gas and live bait.
Inside, the living space boasts with wood floors spanning the length of the great room and skylights for added ambiance and comfort. An open kitchen with warm tile backsplash and ample counter space allow for meal time to be a breeze. Visit with your friends and family as they prepare your groups favorite dishes. Don't forget to stop for a bottle of Finger Lakes wine and toast to your getaway!
The living room offers plush furniture and beautiful views of the canalside. Brew a pot of coffee each morning and watch the canal life from the sofa. There's no doubt that you'll view a variety of birds and wildlife during your stay!
Three bedrooms, each decorated with your comfort in mind, and a nautical themed bathroom complete the layout of this gem.
A large patio with outside table and chairs is sure to become a favorite dining, and hang out spot for your group during your stay.
The large yard offers lots of space for yard games and leisure activity. A fire pit near the waters edge is the perfect addition to this canal home. Put some wood on the pile and watch the night's sky as stars shine brightly.
Riverside Retreat is located just 5 minutes from downtown Geneva conveniences such as Wegmans Grocery, great dining at Belhurst Castle. Award-winning wineries such as Ventosa Vineyards, 3 Brothers Winery and Brewery and Zugibee Vineyards are at your finger tips. Seneca Lake State Park is just around the corner and offers a great spray-park and plenty of room to run, bike or walk along Seneca Lake. Call and make your reservation today!

House was very clea

The property was very nice very private. I wasn’t expecting it to be so private a lot of wildlife and right along the river was a nice thing.The only thing I would recommend is putting some kind of privacy blinds in the bigger bedroom the blinds there you could see through.

Perfect for a quiet week with the dogs. 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.

This is a very cool spot! Clean, close to everything, and private. Wonderful spot! Thanks for being dog friendly! He loved the location as much as we did!

I absolutely loved this property! 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!

This was our second time at this property. 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.

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.

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!

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!

The good - Property was clean, AC was cold even on the hottest days of the year. 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.

Great getaway!
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!

Peaceful canalside cottage
Property was as advertised. 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.

Cute home but be prepared for bugs!
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.

Breakaway Fun at Lake Seneca
Nice secluded location; Bring mosquito spray. 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!!!

Great location
Everything was great, location was perfect for what we needed. Clean, only thing is we would have liked more towels. Would definitely go back again.

Quiet get away
We chose a property that was between our home towns where our parents still reside. They were able to drive and visit us at the house. It was spotlessly clean, with everything we needed for a relaxing time. So much wildlife, our dogs were on high alert every moment. It was great fun!
4.0
nice basic house
The property is a nice basic house, it seems quite old but maintained. The best part is its location by the water and that the property comes with kayaks and a fire pit. property is managed by a third party, not the owner.

Great spot to visit with a puppy
We brought our 4 month old dog on our honeymoon. 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.
