About this house rental

Great for a family vacation or a weekend get-away with friends, the "Cottage at Taughannock" shares a border with Taughannock State Park for extraordinary hiking, boating and swimming. Enjoy the lovely rhododendron garden flowers & birds. Play outdoor yard games & indoor board games. Study or work at desks in several bedrooms. Internet speed is 83 Mbps. Prepare meals & dine in the cottage “garden room” or grill & dine on the adjacent patio. At night, watch the stars, the fireflies, & build a fire in the patio fire pit. Sleep well on comfortable beds.
The cottage is uniquely located next to Taughannock Falls State Park. Yet, it is only 4 miles from shopping in Trumansburg and 10 miles from Ithaca. It is located on the Cayuga Scenic Trail as well as the Cayuga Wine Trail, making it a central location for beauty and touring.
The entire cottage and yard are yours to use and enjoy while renting. The garage contains some outdoor games and the trash cans for you to access, but is not otherwise for guest use.
This is a pet-free property. If you have severe pet allergies, please be advised that the most recent time a cat stayed briefly at the cottage was in February 2023.
During (now more often) hot summer days and nights, the cottage garden room has a tower AC unit to cool down the public spaces. Each bedroom has its own AC window or wall unit.
We are just a phone call away if you have any questions or concerns! Please feel free to contact me. I may message to check in with you, but will leave the interaction up to your level of comfort.
The cottage is located on Rt. 89 (Taughannock Blvd.) Neighbors are spread out along the road, but the houses are out of sight from the house. The back yard is very private due to hills surrounding the bowl-shaped yard.
You will need your own car. (No public transportation) There is parking for 3-4 cars.

Anne’s cottage is truly magical we had an amazing stay, the location, the serenity and the beautiful setting all added to the feeling of being somewhere truly special. It was our daughter’s wedding and I can’t imagine having stayed anywhere else to celebrate our event which was down the road at camp comstock which is another amazing venue. Our week there was truly special and we hope to go back soon.

The house was closed up for 4 days before we got there. There was a pungent musty smell that triggered a friend of ours asthma. She never felt great after that. We used the heat and ac units which are on the floor and in the windows to try to dry it out. Well water is nasty if you aren't used to it so be ready. The house had been cleaned and the rooms and space we had were good. As an older house there were things that were...well..old. Not the easiest place to find especially at night.The hosts were responsive to any inquiries I had which was good. Judging by our group's opinions I don't think we would would stay there again.
