Cayuga Lake Cottage near Ithaca, Taughannock Falls State Park and Trumansburg, N

Enjoyed our stay at this lakeside cottage. Comfortable, casual accommodations.

Nice lounging area next to water, large dock with picnic table for outdoor dining. Use of owners 2 kayaks was a plus. Beautiful hikes a short car ride away.

There was a blue green algae bloom during part of our stay which limited our swimming opportunities somewhat but overall we had a great experience. Owner very nice and accomodating!

This is a lovely cottage with room to spread out and comfortable beds. One bathroom but this wasn't a problem even with six of us. Right on the water and the sound of waves made for great sleeping. Kayaks available. New grill. Kitchen had everything we needed.

The only drawback to this place is the stairs getting down to it. They are steep and there are a lot of them. If you have any mobility or balance issues, this is not the house for you. I would not risk carrying a heavy bag down there. I brought down the essentials in a backpack. If you are reasonably fit, the climb is manageable, and the house is worth it.

The view is so beautiful and the host was very easy to work with. The house is equip with everything you need! The ONLY warnings I have are the stairs, which we were warned about also, they are very steep and the beds unfortunately are not very comfortable. Other than that we had a great time! Thank you for opening your home to us :)

Couldn't have been happier with this property. Right up against the edge of the lake, great fire pit, nice dock, access to 2 kayaks and a rowboat, and every room in the house has a view of the lake. Owner is very accommodating - met us at the property and was very helpful in acclimating us. It's not a new property and the furnishings aren't glamorous, but it's quite clean and the rustic feel is perfect for enjoying the lake. Pictures of the inside accurately portray what you'll get, but the pics of the outside and the proximity to the lake don't do the property justice. Can't wait to come here again.

We stayed at Canvas Back Cottage May 18-22. Our son received his Masters from Ithaca so we made a little vacation out of it. The setting of this house was beautiful. The house itself was neat and clean. There were 6 of us and there was plenty of room. I thought that one shower would be a problem but it was not. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed to prepare and eat our meals. We did most of our cooking on the brand new gas grill. Each night we were there we spent the evening around a fire right at the waters edge. Some of us also made use of the kayaks. When the weather was not conducive to being outside we made use of the TV which is equipped with a Roku. The stairs going down to the cottage are steep but managable as long as you don't have any mobility issues. Wes met us when we arrived and showed us around the house and the property. A big plus is it's proximity to Ithaca and all that that area has offer. We had a great experience and stay and would book this cottage again.
