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.
