Beautiful spot on the lake and full of lake cottage charm inside. Has all the things you need to enjoy a rustic experience outside and feel cozy and as if it was your own home inside. Perfect for our family getaway and cant wait to go back!Good communication with host Wes made it all seamless
All the amenities of home and amazing views- access to beautiful Cayuga Lake. Our boys enjoyed fishing and kayaking. Adults enjoyed the fire pit right next to the water at night. We all LOVED IT!!!
The house was immaculate, and the property was gorgeous. Right on the lake, which was very quiet and beautiful. The owner was very responsive to outreach.
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 place is located right on the lake, has a private area for your group to enjoy as much as you want. Amazing property both from inside and outsideđ
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 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.
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.
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 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!
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 wineryâs and state park
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.
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 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.

Canvasback Cottage is a great place for a family to gather and enjoy Cayuga Lake and the surrounding Finger Lakes Region of New York State. Located at waters edge, the lake is easily accessible and provides kids and parents alike with the enjoyment of water sports and the natural beauty of one of the largest Finger Lakes.
With Ithaca College and Cornell University only 15 minutes drive time away, the cottage is an ideal location for families to stay while visiting their students during Parent's Weekend or Graduation.
