Chautauqua Lake Cottage

Very cute and cozy cottage steps from the water - perfect for the two of us. Property was clean and accurate in the description. Lovely dock and wonderful back porch to watch the sunsets and waterfowl. Very much enjoyed the complimentary snack basket. Leading up yo our trip, the host was very responsive to all my questions. Would stay here again if we ever come back to the lake!

We loved the property in Lakewood. It sat right on the lake with incredibly easy access to the dock and surrounding amenities! The place was clean and fit the description.

Just stayed at this property for two weeks and can't wait to return! Perfect place on lake, gorgeous view, so quiet being far away from bridge. Gorgeous sunsets!! AND your OWN dock! You know how it can be awkward to share a dock with owners or other renters, no worries here, plus chairs at end of dock are super comfy. Inside is so cozy! Comfy beds, big fluffy towels. Kitchen super well stocked. Completely quiet inside. Lots of power strips everywhere for all your devices! It's also great to be about 7 minutes away from a huge Wegmans grocery store! Owners are very responsive and a delight to work with before and during. Friendly but respect your privacy. So don't delay! Book your stay today!!

House and neighborhood exactly what we were looking for on our weekend trip. Host and neighbors very friendly. House was in great shape and very clean.

This is a cute and cozy cottage directly on the lake. The view is outstanding. My husband was on study leave and the internet connection was fast and reliable. The weather was snowy so can say nothing about the local attractions. Would go back for another study leave on or off season.

My spouse and I loved our long weekend getaway to this cozy and conveniently located lake cottage. Since we were there in off-season, we felt almost secluded — no neighbors were around and at most we saw two fishing boat a day. But still we got to enjoy the glorious views of the lake, the fall colors, and the sunsets. And the lake’s animal life was abundant — including herons, cormorants, gulls, geese, ducks and a solitary mink all making visits! The house itself is cozy and sweet. It was perfect for the two of us — enough room to relax inside and out when the weather allowed, a well-stocked kitchen to make a few meals ourselves, a comfortable bed, and all the conveniences of home. The location is also excellent. Lakewood is a pretty little village with an excellent Italian restaurant, Stella, which I highly recommend. (And for the runners out there, I did a scenic 4-mile run straight from the cottage through Lakewood, and could easily have extended it.) We were just a few more minutes from Jamestown and its conveniences and attractions, including the excellent National Comedy Center, where we spent a delightful 3 hours on a rainy morning. Also close by are Panama Scenic Rocks (highly recommended short and scenic hike!) and the Chautauqua Institute, the grounds of which we loved exploring even though nothing was on. Bemus Point is nearby as well, and even the towns at the other end of the lake are not far. We also made a day trip to Erie, PA, and Presque Isle for more hiking along the Erie shore. The hosts were everything you want from experienced VRBO hosts. Mary Beth left a goody basket for us full of snacks; getting to and into the house was a breeze; directions for everything in the house were clear; the house was immaculate; and when we couldn’t figure out how to get the heater going (it was the pilot light! It works!), her husband called and walked us through the process. In short, everything is was as expected or above and beyond, and we had a fabulous stay! Would stay here again!

The place is just fantastic and beautiful!!!!! The family loved it! Thank you.

Was perfect for my small family.

The property was very clean and taken care of. It was well appointed. You will be impressed with the décor and the interior painting. It was nearly perfect for my son and myself. The water is right out the back. The property owner was very nice!! My only criticism is that it has only one bathroom. But it was quite manageable. I hope to come back again for a stay!!!

My 10 year old son and I just got home from a relaxing stay in Lakewood. The house is small, but very clean and well appointed. There is a lovely deck, fire pit area and dock out back. The neighbors were friendly and helpful (even helped us get our fire started on our first night). The sunsets are pretty amazing. The owner was very easy to communicate with.
