Glamorous Camping in a YURT
About this lodge
Nestled in Fayette, this attractive lodge for $85 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. This is a 25 foot diameter structure with a cooking station, dining area, living area with TV, Internet, Air conditioning, and a wonderful view of our beautiful waterway. Guests love the fact that all our kayaks, canoes and row boats are available at no charge. That way we are certain to get you out on the water. We have a very nice bathhouse with all the amenities. This is our 5 th year with the YURT and we have many great reviews. We look forward to meeting you when you come and show you around the property. We will provide a safety and skills demonstration on our watercraft if needed and show you to the campfire area where the wood is always free.

It was very refreshing to get away. The scenery was breathtaking. The ammenities were a little misleading as the stove is a hot plate and the ac unit provided was not nearly enough for the heat. Overall it was well worth the trip. The owners are the best. One thing i did'nt care for was the constant swell of pot (morning, noon & night).

I've never stayed in a Yurt nor vacationed by myself and I had the best time ever. John and Paula the most attentive hosts. John taught me how to Kayak for the first time. As a matter if fact I am going back again this weekend for another stay in the Yurt.
Will also be booking 2 weeks again next summer!!

Really fun time. Access to the canal (and the lake) was great. The Yurt was comfortable and well appointed. The overall experience felt like summer camp!

It was a fun experience! Paula and John were so nice. We took a boat ride around lake Seneca that was very informative! Didn't catch any fish on the canal but it was still fun and beautiful! Stopped at a few wineries too! Definitely a different experience!

The Yurt was as described in the ad. Paula and John were excellent hosts keeping us informed on the day of check in that the yurt was ready for our arrival. The property was clean and cared for. There was plenty to do. If you liked being on the water there were kayaks and paddle boating available. The game hut had plenty of options and books if you just wanted to relax on the dock and read. There was a grill that we made use of each evening. Lovely to eat and look out on the water. In the evenings there was a great seating area and a fire pit to enjoy the outdoors on the canal. We would definitely book again if we go back to the fingerlake region. Thanks Paula and John for the warm welcome!

A pleasant location along the water with an unique variety of rentals. The owners/managers were more than attentive with information of the property, local & history of the Geneva area. It was quite nice of them to provide canoes & kayaks for all guests to use on the river/canal & the lake. The yurt met our needs & was the uncommon type of rental we were looking for. Location was very convenient to Geneva, but just far enough out of town. A great home base to explore the Finger Lakes area.

Owners were awesome and very helpful. They take time to talk to their guests. Great place!

Relaxing
We had a fantastic time with Paula and John. My husband and I went out with them on their pontoon boat because he spotted a piece of driftwood. My husband and John managed to get this massive piece of wood back to the property and helped him clean it off. It was a fun experience. The yurt was cozy and comfortable. We went fishing and had fun playing games. Wonderful place to unwind and relax.

"Mature" property
We were very excited to find this yurt rental in the Finger Lakes last March and made the reservation right away. Unfortunately when we arrived in July, we found that the pictures were not entirely accurate.
The entire property is in rather old condition; the yurt itself was a large disappointment as the crown was broken, so it could not be opened for air circulation as well as several windows. During the day it was super hot, even though the host had an air conditioner running. At night we almost froze, again because there was no air circulation.
The sink inside the yurt only provided cold water, as well as the sink in the shared bathroom for the entire campground. This bathroom was in such bad condition that we never attempted to take showers, although there was some hot water in the shower. Between the smell of mold/mildew and the large spiders everywhere, we went to the state park nearby to take showers. Yes, the state park campground bathroom was a huge improvement!
After 2 days of this "glam camping", the owner allowed us to move to a houseboat that was vacated. This was significantly better, mostly because we had our own shower, hot water and many windows and central air. We did have to pay an additional fee for this better accommodation, but it was worth it in our opinion.
If you are used to tent camping, this yurt may be exceptable to you. My companion has stayed in several yurts before and this was not the experience that we had expected unfortunately. The hosts are nice people, but the property as a whole is struggling.

Awesome yurt!
The yurt was exactly as described! The property overall is very well kept, has plenty to do, and is in a perfect spot in between Geneva and downtown Waterloo! Paula and John were so nice and made sure we had everything we needed! Definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed staying at the Yurt here at Canalside . We were only there for 2 days but wanted to stay all summer ! John and Paula were wonderful hosts and made sure we had everything needed for a great stay . I highly recommend the whole camping and boating experience that there was for anyone who rents the Yurt ! Especially enjoyed the deck with a new barbecue grill and multiple tables and chairs for sitting outside thank you ! We will definitely be going back as often as possible !

We always have a good time no matter where we go. That being said , this Vacation was one of the best we’ve had. That was in part because of Paula & John Kenny at Canal Side Experiences , Seneca Lake . We felt as though we had known the two of them forever. But it was our first meeting. The Yurt was wonderful. The side Bathhouse was adorable as well. A great Boat ride & tour with Capt. John & his first mate Paula is something not to miss . We explored the beautiful Fingerlakes area every day & if we were given a tip from them about where to stop , well, we were glad we did. Thank You both for making the two of us feel at home in your Wonderful Canal Side Experiences. Hope to see you again. Maybe by Us !

We had the best time. Thank you John and Paula for being the best hosts ever.
Waking up on the water and fishing and floating were our favorite .The location is prime too for the vineyards.

Had a blast at the yurt with exceptional hosts John and Paula. The yurt and the bathhouse were far better equipped than expected. John built a fire ready to go every night. Close to nearly everything. Be sure to check out Macs Drive In and Muranda Cheese. I’m hoping to go back on the house boat next.

Great location for a base of operations
This was a great place to stay for our long weekend away. It is close enough to everything you may need, but far away enough to be peaceful and relaxing.

Unique property with great hosts
My wife and I stayed here for a two-night mid-week getaway and it was perfect for what we wanted. The Yurt amenities are well portioned, the waterfront is beautiful, the hosts were super informative and available and location is perfect.

There was so much to do on the property and you really didn’t need to leave to stay busy or not if that was your choice. The hosts were great people and we really enjoyed the group campfire on our last night. The only issue we had was the lack of hot water in the kitchen to clean dishes. We heated water on the hot plate so it wasn’t a major issue. Thank you again Paula and John and also for teaching Charlie Fire Writing
