Geneva sits at the north end of Seneca Lake and makes an excellent multi‑week base — compact, walkable downtown, lively farm‑to‑table restaurants, breweries and wineries, scenic lakefront parks and plenty of hiking and biking so you won’t feel stuck between shifts.
Larger‑city options are close by: Rochester (~35 miles) and Ithaca (~25 miles) offer airports, museums, shopping and college‑town nightlife for weekend variety.
