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 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 4 cars. The stairs make the cottage inaccessible for individuals with mobile disabilities and may be difficult for the elderly. A row boat and 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.

We expected 36 steps to get into the house, but not a metal ladder with only one rusting handrail. On the evening we arrived the roadway was taotally covered with leaves and unable to be seen. Lights went out on the first night and the owner was not reachable to help or suggest solutions,until next morning. House was messy and disorganized and not very clean. We cleaned everything before we could use it. For the amount charged we had much higher expectations of the accommodations.The lake was lovely.. I guess we paid for the view.
We got in a little late but it was perfect timing for sunset....the 4 of us were in awe of the beauty. We sat down at the waters edge till dark before we even settled in. The owner was very responsive and very accommodating. We made some great memories, I hope its available for future visits!
My wife and I - a Young Senior couple-stayed at Canvasback for five nights in mid September and enjoyed it very much. We used the 2 kayaks, and cooked several nights on the gas grill. Utensils, pots and pans and coffee maker were all sufficient to our needs - nothing fancy. The property is as advertised right on the lake with views across the Lake from the porch/dining room or outside from the Adirondack chairs. No problems with WiFi for computers and TV. Electric baseboard heaters in BRs and gas fired heater in the LR took the chill off as needed. Double bed in one BR and two singles in the other. One bath upstairs and another in an outside shed if you're wet from outdoor activities. Our only caution: from the parking area there are 36 steps to the cottage.
My family of 3 adults and 2 teens had a wonderful week on Cayuga Lake this August. The cottage was just perfect for us. My girls enjoyed sleeping on the "porch". The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals. The outside area was perfectly wonderful, with a fire pit, chairs, a nice long dock, wade in water level and a little grassy area for my sunbather too. Tons of seating inside. The stairs to get down to the cottage are no joke but once you are settled in it was totally manageable for us and a real benefit, in my opinion, to have the water at house level. The owner could not have been any more responsive before and during our stay. The only thing I would change is the pillows really need to be replaced so I would recommend you bring your own. We would completely recommend this cottage to others and would rent again if we return.
We had a really nice time at the lake. The location of the house next to the water was beautiful. The owner was very helpful and had every thing we needed there for us to use. Which was great cause he isn't kidding about the stairs. We had a minor problem with the gravel road (no fault of the owner or neighbors) there was a major storm prior to our getting there and one the last night of our stay. We all had a great time kayaking, swimming, fishing and just relaxing. We would recommend this property to anyone that wants to enjoy being right at the lake and doesn't mind a climb to the car.
Wes was as accommodating as anyone could ask for throughout the entire process. The cottage itself is in an ideal location at the water's edge. Unfortunately, it is truly inaccessible to anyone with mobility issues due to the steep staircase that leads down to the cottage. Once there though, Wes has provided everything a family needs to fully enjoy the location. Nothing real fancy but more than adequate for a fun time. Other than food, we literally could have stayed there with the clothes on our back. Great place, great hosts! We'll be back if he'll have us!
