It was a fantastic stay. the property has one of the greatest location if you want to enjoy secluded time. This is right on the lake. i think once the boat house and other bathroom gets renovated it would be a great place to stay for a week in peace within the surroundings of nature. Wes himself was very approachable and always ready to help. We had a great time while there.

This is our second time staying at Canvasback in autumn. This is essentially a cul-de-sac of three houses at the end of a dirt/gravel road. Very quiet and literally right on the lake. The stairs make it a little challenging loading and unloading the car, but otherwise we don't see them as much as an issue (we are both in our 50s). We find the house to be comfortable and as expected from the listing. Bathroom was recently renovated. We love the sunroom and would eat breakfast there each morning looking out over the lake while watching the seagulls, ducks, and loons. It is peaceful watching the sunrise from the dock or sitting by the firepit at night. It is within driving distance of many places such as Ithaca and Watkins Glen. Some of our favorite places in the area: South Hill Cider, Garrett's Brewing, Liquid State Brewing, Six Mile Creek Vineyard, Brookton's Market, Cornell Botanic Garden, Taughannock Falls Sate Park, Cascadilla Gorge Trail, Robert H Treman State Park, and Watkins Glen State Park. Thank you, Wesley, we enjoyed both stays here!

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.

House has everything you need and even more.
Kitchen is fully supplied. Outdoor grill works perfect. Grocery store 5 min away. Lake is so clean and warm. Two kayaks big benefit to the house. We will definitely going to come back with friends next time

Beautiful lakeside retreat! Loved the kayaks and views!

Important information is misleading in the property description. The 1/2 bath is not attached to the property and is a non functioning outhouse. The water is non-potable or “you shouldn’t drink the water”. The owner provided these details at check-in. We would not have rented the property had these details been made at the point of decision-making - and included in the property’s details. There are plenty of options out there! The owner provided one gallon of water for 3 adults for 4 days….disappointing at best. The rest of the description is accurate.

Happy to be back lakeside for a few days. We enjoyed sitting by the water, swimming and kayaking. And we saw an otter swim by. We read they have released otters into finger lakes and we’re delighted to see one swim by.

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.

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!
5.0
The location is great, right on the lake. The view from the bathroom window took my breath away in the morning...all water. The place feels like its out of another era, reminds me of my grandparents place back in the 70s, but it's quite comfortable. I love the glassed in porch! It was very hard to find in the dark. We ended up in another cabin up the road, thinking it was this one (it was unlocked, and we just walked in).. The owners saw us and very politely explained we were in the wrong one!!! Very embarrassing, but we ended up giving them a bottle of wine after they led us to the right one.

This is a unique and cozy cottage that will always be on our family travel list… Thanks again Wes!

Spectacular location- both for staying in and enjoying the lake in peace and quiet, or for going out and exploring the finger lakes and all they have to offer. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking (we saw 2 osprey, I believe), playing board games, relaxing by the fire pit and enjoying family meals outside on the deck. We also explored a new gorge everyday, sometimes twice a day- so many state parks and Ithaca are so close, as well as a bounty of wineries, breweries, and distilleries. It’s truly the best of both worlds- being so close to everything and also feeling removed from the world and all your cares! We also had great service from nearby Cayuga lake boat rentals for pontoon boat rental. I highly recommend this camp, it is 100% as advertised. It is not updated by any means but it had everything we needed and I have nothing but good things to say about our stay!

We had an amazing family time in this cabin. The house is very comfortable. My 3 kids enjoyed the lake and the kayak. We 100% recommend this place.

Stayed here mostly for fishing and exploring the surrounding area a bit. Though the dock is large and plenty stable, docking a boat here isn't ideal - if bringing a boat, I would recommend getting a transient slip at the state harbor nearby (we did this for the second half of the week). Other than that, take it slow on the gravel road leading to the property and you will enjoy a great time at a nice, homey (if not state-of-the-art) place in a terrific location.
5.0
This cabin was lakeside and had beautiful views of Cayuga Lake. It was very peaceful sitting outside and watching the herons and other waterfowl on the lake. There is a boat house deck with seating for outdoor dining and two kayaks to paddle the lake. While the neighboring cabins are fairly close, they are separated enough that you don't see or hear those in residence. The kitchen was not overly modern, but everything worked. The house is close to many activities - Cornell Univ. in Ithaca, the waterfalls and hiking trails at the state park, as well as several wineries. There is one drawback for those not physically able to do steps - there are at least 50 steps to walk up and down from the parking area to the house. The owner was extremely responsive to our questions and seems to be a responsible owner. We would definitely stay there again.

The property is everything expected. Even though the decor is cabin-like, everything is very clean! The dock, kayaks, fire pit and outdoor seating options were the highlight of this property to us. Beautiful sunsets every night too! The owner is very responsive (like minutes) for anything you need! Would rent again.

We enjoyed our stay and my kids loved to be able to swim & play in the lake every day, and having use of the kayaks at the property.
The location was perfect for us, and the accommodations comfortable, with all the basics that you need. We did realize on one of our last days that some critters were getting into food in the pantry, so it would be good to remedy that for future visitors, but other than that we had no complaints.

Awesome place
We loved our stay here! The place is clean, well maintained, and best of all right on the water. It's a great escape and had everything we needed. It's pretty secluded but wineries and Ithaca are all within about a 20-minute drive.

Beautiful, well kept property
Excellent location, very quiet, and plenty of space for our group of 5. Very impressed with cleanliness of both the building and the outside area. It's clear the owner takes pride in ownership. Would definitely return for another stay.

Perfect little getaway
We’ve stayed at this lake house in the 80’s and now and still love it! Has everything needed for a lakeside getaway. Wes always responds immediately and we enjoyed the updated dock, A/C and the new stairs down to the house. Great place!

Waterfront Escape
The home is located just steps from the lake, enjoyed sitting at the fire and watching the water. Even when raining or cold the view was well worth seeing.

Beautiful Lakeside Cottage
Wow, where do I even begin? From the views of the lake when you walk downstairs to the rustic decor that makes you feel like it’s 1985 again, this cottage is an absolute hidden gem! Walk out the door and skip rocks on the beautiful little beach or walk out onto the dock to sit in the sun! My fiancée and my sister stayed here for a weekend and we will definitely be back! It’s private, quiet, and just what we needed. Thanks again for the great hospitality!
