Description Description
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 mealtime to be a breeze.  Visit with your friends and family as they prepare your group's 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 are 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 water's 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 fingertips.  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!

We felt immediately at home upon arrival. Surprised to see how well stocked the kitchen was with cookware, dishware, silverware etc. Nice to have life vest to use as we rented a boat which we kept at the dock. We enjoyed the privacy of the large property on the river. Would enjoy returning.

Long weekend getaway
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.

Really enjoyed our stay at Riverside Retreat. It was clean, well equipped and very private. It was so nice to sit riverside with a fire in the pit and local college crew team rowing by. Very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Cute older home in a nice location.
Lots of open space to walk the dogs. We saw lots of wildlife. Kingfishers and Eagles and a mink, plenty of squirrels and a mink by the river. Some road noise but nothing too loud. crummy drive in through a older trailer park. We had no issues and felt safe. Older furniture that could use some updating. Overall a nice place to stay. So happy the dogs were allowed.

Kayaking Trip
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.

Quiet sanctuary
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!

Secluded spot
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.

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.

Great location for kayaking! Our second time staying there. Very nice place but could use some updates, mattresses, kitchen table could be bigger. Other than that very comfortable. If you stay for a week be sure you bring TP, paper towels and laundry soap. Was a very nice week there again! Thank you!

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!

Relaxing Getaway
This cottage was amazing. Such a peaceful and relaxing stay. The dock was so nice and we were able to dock and tie off our boat without any trouble. My kids loved catching fireflies and sitting by the campfire at night. We will be back!

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.

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!

Perfect Waterfront Location!

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!

Quiet Getaway!

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!

The property was huge and very well maintained. Being on the river was much nicer than we anticipated especially with kids. There seemed to be less of a current than in the lake and they could use the boats without us worrying about them getting too far out. We had a great time. We will definitely use Finger Lakes Premier Properties again!
