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!
