About this cottage rental
Canvasback Cottage is a beachfront cottage in a private setting with large dock and deck facilities. It sleeps 6 comfortably, with two private bedrooms, an enclosed porch with a futon and 1.5 bathrooms. The cottage is an open architecture design with multiple windows providing excellent views to the water and the monitoring of small children along the beach. Located approximately 1.5 miles north of Taughannock State Park and 11 miles north of Ithaca on the west shore of Cayuga Lake, the cottage is a short drive to Cornell University and Ithaca College, the Finger Lakes Wine Trail and a wide range of outdoor activities.
The cottage is at beach level and is accessible by stairs from a parking area that will accommodate 3 cars. New stairs were installed in 2020, however, the stairs may make the cottage inaccessible for individuals with mobile disabilities and may also be difficult for the elderly. See recently posted photos of stairs.
Two kayaks are included in the rental. Grocery and liquor stores, restaurants, live music venues and a pharmacy are located in Trumansburg, approximately 5 minutes from the cottage. Minimum three night stay required.

Beautiful location in the forest right next to the lake. It’s a very warm and cozy feeling. Just walk out the back door and you are within several feet of the shoreline. The only concern is to be aware of the stairs waI would recommend for anyone who wants to be on the lake and in a forest setting. Just walk down the steps from the parking area and into another world. The shoreline is literally steps from the back door.

We enjoyed our stay. The lake was beautiful and we took advantage of having campfires on the beach while listening to the waves and birds. The cottage is quaint like stepping back in time, which made it easy to leave the stress of every day life behind! We also appreciated Wes, helping us find the location. Use Apple Maps, not Waze! The cottage has everything you need to make meals and relax. We hiked every day at the many parks nearby. The location is close to everything!

Important information is misleading in the property description. The 1/2 bath is not attached to the property and is a non functioning outhouse. The water is non-potable or “you shouldn’t drink the water”. The owner provided these details at check-in. We would not have rented the property had these details been made at the point of decision-making - and included in the property’s details. There are plenty of options out there! The owner provided one gallon of water for 3 adults for 4 days….disappointing at best. The rest of the description is accurate.
