This place was exactly what we were looking for, a quiet place to spend a few days with the family. We enjoyed kayaking, swimming and making s'mores. Great place for a family vacation!
The property was lovely and had all the amenities. Right on the water. Less than half an hour to both Ithaca and Watkins Glen. We absolutely loved it here! The second half bath was a bit of an overstatement since it was in a separate unheated outbuilding but was not an issue since there were only two of us.
This was perfect for us! We were visiting our daughter at Ithaca College for Applefest weekend. This cottage was perfect for our family. It was close enough to Ithaca yet just out of the fray of Applefest so we could enjoy the festivities but also escape to this beautiful lakeside cottage. The cabin was clean, well appointed with a spectacular waterfront view.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our five day visit at Canvasback. The location of the cottage was great and made it easy to access all of the waterfall state parks, wineries, and parts of the Cornell campus we had on our list. The sunroom was our favorite spot to relax and enjoy views of the lake. The cottage is comfortably furnished and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. All in all, we had a wonderful time exploring the area and staying at Canvasback!
This was a lovely little house right on the lake. My favorite part was the sunroom that goes all along the side facing the lake. You can even sleep in there with the windows open (sort of like glamping!). If you are looking for a quiet neighborhood to enjoy some time on this beautiful lake, then I would recommend this listing.
Perfect Fall weekend by the lake for the family -- it was too chilly to swim or kayak, but so peaceful, and just what we needed. We didn't want to leave, and can't wait to go back. Wes was very responsive and helpful with everything. I am glad we didn't bring the minivan because I don't know how it would've done getting to the cottage site once off the main road. Thank you, Wes, and we hope to be back soon!
We had a great time at the little lake house. It was the perfect size for our family of four. I have two teenagers and they loved fishing and hanging out on the dock.
The kayaks were also great.
The weather was not great but. We took advantage of the nearby winery’s and state park
Perfect for a long weekend with family for a college graduation! Great communication with owner and clean accommodations. Beautiful location right on the lake ~ Highly recommend!
My family enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Beautiful views right on the lake and close to the waterfalls we wanted to visit. My kids enjoyed swimming in the lake, kayaking and fires at night. We would definitely come back again.
We really enjoyed our stay at the property. Close to Ithaca if you are visiting Cornell or IC, right by Toughannock falls for hiking and dinner, and close to wineries. Right on the lake, the cottage is quiet, and rustic, but clean. New bathroom was a great addition. Wish we had more time to enjoy the place.
We found the cottage very comfortable, clean and accommodating. Wesley was extremely helpful and communicative. The property was nicely appointed and the views are amazing. We would rent here again for sure.

We and our 11-year old granddaughters had a great time in this comfortable cottage on the lake. We played games in the spacious enclosed porch and had great fun kayaking and swimming. We hiked in three of the state parks which were within a 30-minute drive and shopped at the well-stocked grocery in Trumansburg. “Best vacation ever “ according to our granddaughters. Our host Wes quickly responded to questions and we enjoyed chatting with him.
This was the first major stop on our family roadtrip and it was just right. The host, Wes, was the BEST, checking in with us prior to our arrival and ensuring we had the latest information. The house had plenty of room for our family of 5 to stretch out and relax, and came equipped with everything we needed to feel at home. The lake was the highlight for us. My husband and I loved just relaxing in the Adirondack chairs listening to the water hit the shore. Our kids (ages 15-20) enjoyed the kayaks and had a great time on their “adventures” together.
