Cottage at Taughannock: State Park, Cayuga Lake, Ithaca, & Cornell

Very cozy space. Worked perfect for my friends and I!

Great place, great hosts! Would definitely stay again when in the area.

Anne’s cottage is truly magical we had an amazing stay, the location, the serenity and the beautiful setting all added to the feeling of being somewhere truly special. It was our daughter’s wedding and I can’t imagine having stayed anywhere else to celebrate our event which was down the road at camp comstock which is another amazing venue. Our week there was truly special and we hope to go back soon.

The hosts are quick to respond and the check-in couldn't have been easier. Located in a beautiful area, the house is well appointed and had everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable. We loved the picture window overlooking the backyard garden and having coffee on the patio was the perfect way to start the day. It is close to the road and you do hear road noise but it wasn't terrible. There was a strong musty smell when we arrived but it dissipated after using the air purifiers in the rooms and opening the windows for a while. The well water also had an odor but there were water filter pitchers that made it taste fine. Overall a lovely house and we enjoyed our stay there.

Nice location across from Taughannock Falls State Park and 10-20 min away from Ithaca attractions. Full kitchen and beautiful tables both inside and out made eating in worth it! Plenty of games and toys to provide toddlers with entertainment. The hosts were very pleasant and went above and beyond to assist us with any questions or concerns we had!

I was dropping my son off for college and the house was perfect. Very close to Cornell and downtown Ithaca. Clean, comfortable, organized home with labels on kitchen cabinets, beautiful yard. Highly recommend! Would definitely stay here again.

Place was great, lots of space, beautiful. Busy weekend meant the road noise was a bit loud.

The cottage was perfect for our group of six. The three kids slept unstairs. My daughter liked sitting in the hallway and reading at night to all of them. The bedrooms on the lower level were spacious and just right for the adults.Our favorite parts were the garden room and the great table for eating together and playing games. The location was perfect for our daily hikes in Treman, Buttermilk, Watkins Glen, Sapsucker Woods, and Taughannock Falls. It was great to find a cooler in the house (among many other amenities) for packing lunches for the day's outing, and we enjoyed our fire-pit night at the end of the week.It was so nice to get away from the heat in St. Louis and Birmingham, AL, to have bagels in Collegetown and to be near so much lovely water. We recommend the gift/t-shirt shop (Sunny Days) and Yellow Deli in the Ithaca Commons shopping area. The kids made t-shirts, each with a different waterfall on the back, and the owners of both places were friendly, helpful, and kind.I should add that I had some concern after reading other reviews about mustiness in the cottage. Two in our party have asthma, and we weren't sure how it would go, but there were no complaints. We spent most of our days out in the parks and lit candles during dinner for atmosphere and scent. The bottom line is that it was not a problem. The bird-watching from the Garden Room, cup of coffee at hand, was worth the trip!

Beautiful upstate retreat. The host has a great picture window in the back with binoculars and bird watching guides to please birders and wildlife enthusiasts.

We enjoyed staying at this home. It was clean and comfortable.

It's a wonderful, fully stocked home! Very peaceful setting, with plenary of space for our group of 9 - a great location to reconnect with friends! The hosts go above and beyond. Highly recommend.

We were visiting family in Trumansburg for Thanksgiving and needed extra room for our large party. This cottage worked out perfectly - it was plenty warm, the backyard and patio are private and lovely, and the cottage is spacious with helpful features (great buffet shelving near large dining table). We would love to return! Thank you so much to our hosts for the well appointed cottage and convenient location to Trumansburg (and Ithaca - just depends which way you want to go on 89)!

Awesome cottage. Felt like an English estate setting nestled in a knoll. Very clean. Described accurately

The house was closed up for 4 days before we got there. There was a pungent musty smell that triggered a friend of ours asthma. She never felt great after that. We used the heat and ac units which are on the floor and in the windows to try to dry it out. Well water is nasty if you aren't used to it so be ready. The house had been cleaned and the rooms and space we had were good. As an older house there were things that were...well..old. Not the easiest place to find especially at night.The hosts were responsive to any inquiries I had which was good. Judging by our group's opinions I don't think we would would stay there again.

Well located. Beautiful setting but road noise in bedrooms. Clean and neat. Full amenities. Very comfy home. Rustic.

Very comfortable and well stocked. Conveniently located. The toys for the 3 year old to play with was a great plus. The decorating was awesome with all the interesting objects to look at. The yard was great! Beds were comfortable. Hosts are totally awesome people!

We enjoyed this property, very nice hosts and beautiful landscaping! Great location. The house had a strong odor of mildew or must that our family found off putting. Otherwise, we had a great time!

Had a wonderful weekend with some friends at the home. It's got lots of privacy, a beautiful yard and the home is warm and inviting. ACs in every bedroom ensured it was very cool, even in July! We'll definitely book the place again next time we're headed to Ithaca :)

The property is beautiful and we enjoyed the flower gardens. Very close to the Taughannock SP where did an easy hike to the waterfall. House was comfortable and well-equipped.

So many great outdoor activities in this area. Cottage was so comfortable, hosts are fantastic. Property around the cottage was beautifully landscaped and private. Highly recommend!

Great spot for a group to enjoy the Finger Lakes. Easy access to Taughannock Falls and Ithaca; manageable drive to Seneca and even Keuka. The house was charming, with a well-equipped kitchen, a great dining space for meals together (and card games afterwards), and a cozy living room to enjoy a movie. But the real stars of the show were the patio and the garden, which was truly spectacular with everything in bloom when we visited in early June.

A great property that's a 15 min drive to downtown Ithaca. It gave us a feeling of seclusion along with it being close to everything. The space was clean, well cared for and it had all of the things necessary to host a family gathering/celebration
