    The Space:

    Water’s Edge is a lakefront retreat perfect for families, couples, or friends traveling together. Spend your days kayaking, wine touring, grilling, and swimming—then unwind by the fire or stargaze from the dock. With two private living areas and unbeatable lake views, it’s the ideal setup for shared adventures and personal space.

    Enjoy unbeatable lake views from both levels, swim or sip coffee from the dock, and cozy up by the lakeside fire pit as the sun sets. Whether you’re cooking in, streaming your favorite shows, or spreading out between units, this home offers comfort, flexibility, and the best of lake life.



    ⬇️ First-Floor Unit

    🪟 Lake Views – Floor-to-ceiling glass doors bring the lake inside

    🛋️ Living Area – Open-concept space with a queen bed, smart TV, and cozy seating—the queen bed shares the space with the main living area, but situated behind a new shelving unit.

    🛏️ Newly Renovated Full Room – A nook with a full sized bed and TV

    🍳 Kitchen – Fully stocked with cookware, bakeware, and essentials—great for snacks, meals, or mixing up cocktails

    🛁 Bathroom – Compact and clean, with a stand-up shower



    ⬆️ Second-Floor Unit

    🛋️ Living Area – Convertible sofa, smart TV, and electric fireplace for cozy evenings in

    🍽️ Kitchen – Open-concept layout makes cooking and socializing seamless

    🛁 Bathroom – Stand-up shower and updated finishes



    🌿 Outdoor Amenities

    🔥 Fire Pit – Lakeside with Adirondack chairs for s’mores and sunset chats

    💦 Private Dock & Waterfront Access – Swim, launch a kayak, or just relax by the water

    🛶 Kayaks – Life jackets included

    🍖 Gas Grill – Propane provided for easy cookouts

    🌳 Beachfront Area – Direct lake access for play or peaceful moments



    Whether you're here for wine country adventures, lakeside relaxation, or quality time with your favorite people, Water’s Edge is the perfect place to make memories that last.



    Guest Access:

    Water’s Edge is rented as a whole-home lakefront property—you’ll never be sharing the space with other guests. Both units are completely private and have separate exterior entrances with no interior access between them. You’ll have full access to the entire home, both floors, and all outdoor amenities, including the fire pit, dock, kayaks, grill, and beachfront area. It’s the ideal setup for groups who want to be together—while still enjoying their own space.



    The Neighborhood:

    Water’s Edge is tucked along a peaceful stretch of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, surrounded by quiet lakefront homes—many of which are owned by full-time residents. While the setting is scenic and private, you’re still just minutes from Roy’s Marina, Port’s Café, downtown Geneva, and Watkins Glen. It’s a serene home base with convenient access to wineries, hiking, and everything the Finger Lakes has to offer.

    We kindly ask guests to be mindful of our neighbors and help us preserve the peaceful character of the area.



    Getting Around:

    A car is highly recommended for exploring the area. Private taxis/car services and private wine tours are available.



    Other Things to Note:

    ➡️ Please note: We provide cooking basics, with the exception of oil at this time—it will be included in the future.

    ➡️ A Pack ’n Play is available BY REQUEST ONLY and provided free of charge. Please let us know in advance if you’d like one so we can have it ready for your arrival.

    ➡️ Quiet Hours – The town enforces quiet hours between 10 PM and 7 AM. Please be respectful of our full-time neighbors.

    ➡️ Train Crossing – The nearby train passes about 1–2 times per day and is typically brief and quiet. That said, please stop and look both ways before crossing the tracks.

    ➡️ Parking – The town permits 2 vehicles in the driveway. A third car may be parked in the grass just before the railroad crossing.

    ➡️ No Boat Docking – Boats may not be docked at the property.

    ➡️ Guest Agreement Required – All guests must sign Get RED-y Vacations’ rental agreement prior to check-in.

    ➡️ Seasonal Amenities – Some amenities such as the kayaks, grill, fire pit, and outdoor seating may be unavailable during winter months or due to inclement weather.

    ➡️ Use at Your Own Risk – The fire pit, dock, and kayaks are for guest use only and should be enjoyed responsibly.



    Interaction with Guests:

    We offer 24/7 guest support — we're always just a message or call away if you need anything during your stay. While we’re here to help at any time, we also respect your privacy and won’t interrupt your visit unless absolutely necessary.
