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.

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:
➡️ 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.

Relaxing stay on Seneca Lake

The views of Seneca lake from the property were spectacular. Enjoying coffee on the Adirondack chairs on the dock each morning was so peaceful. The location on the Lake was super quiet. Most of the neighbors on the lane appeared to be year round residents and were very quiet. Brewery, wineries and a few places to eat close by, otherwise a ten minute drive into Geneva. Highly recommend going into Penn Yan, checking out Keuka Lake and renting e-bikes from Shoreline Rentals. The Keuka Outlet Trail was awesome on the e-bikes - beautiful scenery and waterfalls. House was well equipped with everything we needed to cook every night. The “driveway” getting to this rental was our only negative…very difficult to negotiate.

Fall getaway

The property is in a great location - between Watkins Glen and Geneva. We visited both without driving a lot. We enjoyed our vacation even though it rained most of the time. The property has beautiful lake views and is in a quiet neighborhood. Too bad we couldn't enjoy the dock and beach firepit more.

A Brief Slice Of Heaven

Some Friends and I were coming up for race weekend. We decided to go with a VRBO, instead of the busy hotels downtown. The best move we ever made! The process was seamless. Once we arrived, you could immediately tell the place was recently renovated and looked better than the photos. It had all the amenities home and was extremely clean. Amazing views and very peaceful. I will definitely book again and for a longer period of time.

Lakehouse Perfection!

Wow what a beautiful, clean and modern property. You can tell there is a great deal of homeowner pride in this house. We loved it so much that we looked for real estate on the lake while visiting. The location is superb- on the wine trail, down the street from a delicious restaurant -Port Cafe- but the real star of the show was the lake front living back at the house. We fell asleep listening to the sound of the water each day and woke up to glorious views of sunrise. We can’t wait to come back to this property and bring family or friends to enjoy it with. We had the best time and will be back! Thank you Red-y vacations for a spectacular and memorable stay.

Great Finger Lakes getaway

The house was gorgeous and perfect for our low key Bachelorette weekend. The duplex was great so everyone could have their own space and not be piled on top of each other. The lake front access was amazing. We brought tubes and rope to float in the water, which was so fun. Close to lots of wineries and breweries. Would definitely stay here again!

Short but Sweet

We really enjoyed our stay and loved everything about the lakehouse.. the View, the cleanliness, the "beach cottage" interior, the kayaks, the fire pit, the privacy, and the no-contact check-in/check-out process.. Everything was seamless. Planning to stay longer next time. Thank you so much.

Awesome property

This house couldn’t have been more perfect for my group! The house is beautiful. The view is picturesque. The owner is very responsive. The dock is beyond ideal. The fire setup is well equipped. The area has great wineries in close proximity. My group spent the weekend there for a girls trip where we just wanted to relax, swim, hang by the fire, visit some wineries and spend quality time together. This house offered all of that and more. When planning for the group I had many questions prior for the owner and his response time was incredible. Also while at the house we had a few questions that needed some real time answers - I received those within an hour. I would 100% stay at this property again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place in the area.

Family reunion in the Finger Lakes

This property was perfect for our group. My husband, two kids, and I stayed downstairs and my sister and her husband stayed upstairs. We really liked it that we were all in the same house but also had our independent spaces. The lake access was wonderful. We used the kayaks and life jackets provided by the owner. We also really enjoyed sitting on the chairs on the dock in the evening. The balconies were also a relaxing spot for morning coffee. We had expected to use the fire pit but never got around to it. Everything was neat and clean and just as described. Chris was responsive to any questions we had (which were very few because his communication upfront and documentation inside the house were excellent). Would definitely recommend this house to others.

Wonderful girls weekend!

We had the cottage (both units) for a girls getaway weekend (7 girls). The units are well kept and the water location is terrific. Everyone was comfortable. The dock was a fantastic spot to sit. Wineries close by and Geneva a very short trip. Would highly recommend.

Return visitor

This is our third year at this property - we absolutely love it! You can't beat the view - especially waking up and seeing the sunrise before even getting out of bed. It's so peaceful to sit on the deck with a cup of coffee overlooking the lake as the sun comes up or out on the dock with a cheese plate and a glass of wine as it goes down. We love that the house offers both kayaks and a fire pit (something we've not had at previous houses in the area). The location is fantastic - so many great wineries and breweries within just minutes. The house is well maintained, and Chris is always very prompt to answer messages and has been great to work with. We'll absolutely continue to come back! Katie Anne

We enjoyed our stay immensely. We used both of the units and they both exceeded our expectations. We happened to stay during a heat wave and boy did the ac come in handy. The use of the kayaks was a wonderful perk! The units are clean and very nicely decorated with a beach cottage theme(my favorite). I highly recommend either or both of these units. Sue & Stan

Waters Edge was amazing!

We loved staying here! The location was awsome and the views were breathtaking! The house is two separate units, which worked out great for us. We spent the day with out friends and then at night we were able to retreat to separate quarters. The house was take decorated very tastefully, it made us feel right at home. Our host was wonderful, she helped us plan our wine tour and gave us great recommendations for dinner and brunch. We can’t wait to come back and would recommend staying here to anyone!
