About this house rental

Great for a family vacation or a weekend get-away with friends, the "Cottage at Taughannock" shares a border with Taughannock State Park for extraordinary hiking, boating and swimming. Enjoy the lovely rhododendron garden flowers & birds. Play outdoor yard games & indoor board games. Study or work at desks in several bedrooms. Internet speed is 83 Mbps. Prepare meals & dine in the cottage “garden room” or grill & dine on the adjacent patio. At night, watch the stars, the fireflies, & build a fire in the patio fire pit. Sleep well on comfortable beds.
The cottage is uniquely located next to Taughannock Falls State Park. Yet, it is only 4 miles from shopping in Trumansburg and 10 miles from Ithaca. It is located on the Cayuga Scenic Trail as well as the Cayuga Wine Trail, making it a central location for beauty and touring.
The entire cottage and yard are yours to use and enjoy while renting. The garage contains some outdoor games and the trash cans for you to access, but is not otherwise for guest use.
This is a pet-free property. If you have severe pet allergies, please be advised that the most recent time a cat stayed briefly at the cottage was in February 2023.
During (now more often) hot summer days and nights, the cottage garden room has a tower AC unit to cool down the public spaces. Each bedroom has its own AC window or wall unit.
We are just a phone call away if you have any questions or concerns! Please feel free to contact me. I may message you to check in with you, but will leave the interaction up to your level of comfort.
The cottage is located on Rt. 89 (Taughannock Blvd.) Neighbors are spread out along the road, but the houses are out of sight from the house. The back yard is very private due to hills surrounding the bowl-shaped yard.
You will need your own car. (No public transportation) There is parking for 3-4 cars.

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 :)

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

We had an event at a place in Trumansburg so we decided to find a place close to spend the weekend. The cottage was perfect, owners were very communicative, place was clean and well stocked, and it’s in a very convenient location. Private and relaxing atmosphere, would highly recommend!

The cottage is comfortable. The bedrooms (3) are certainly adequate. The forth bedroom is two very small beds. Perfect for kids. The kitchen is fully equipped. We had a nice stay.
