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.

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.

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 winery’s and state park

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!

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.

Lovely lakeside cottage, was clean and well-kept. It had everything one needs to settle in and create a comfortable easy vacation. The owner was always responsive and easy to work with. The house is right at lake level and provides a lovely relaxing environment just by stepping out the door

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.
