About this property
Cayuga Lake Cottage near Ithaca, Taughannock Falls State Park and Trumansburg, N
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 with a futon 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 3 cars. New stairs were installed in 2020, however, the stairs may make the cottage inaccessible for individuals with mobile disabilities and may also be difficult for the elderly. See recently posted photos of stairs.
Two 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.
