We do not allow pets or smoking - WE DO NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE. We promise a very clean environment, and conveniently provide linens and towels for our visitors’ use.
Our family of 14 spent a wonderful Thanksgiving at this house. This house fit us perfectly, from the sleeping arrangements, to turkey dinner, to all of us gathered together in the living room to watch sports and Hallmark Christmas movies! This house was more spacious than the pictures depict. We also had game nights and walked to town to check out the shops. The owner was quick to respond to questions. Fantastic place!
Great place for our reunion - rooms were very comfy and enjoyed playing some of your board games. The area is beautiful and what a way to wake up -- the lake view was fantastic!
Great home for a group get away. Nice to find a place that actually seats the entire group at dining table and in living area (we were a group of 8). Beautiful location with great views. Also, had everything you need for a getaway from home, no need to bring anything other than food, clothing, fishing gear and camera.
Excellent location and beautiful lake house. The house was immaculate and had everything you would need. Very spacious and very welcoming. Contact with owner was great. Thoroughly enjoyed our girls weekend getaway. Would definitely come back.
Clean, organized, exactly as described and shown on the VRBO website. Our host answered all of my questions quickly and clearly- we are considering a stay at this property next September. We have stayed in many properties over the years- this was the best I have seen. And the per night rate- awesome!! Highly recommended.
We love it here! The house fits everything we could possibly need
This property and location had everything we could have ever wanted or needed. The house was spacous and well maintained. This was by far the best house we have stayed in at Chautauqua Lake. My son ( age 6) loved fishing off the dock and fished sun up to sun down. He caught so much fish this trip he feed us all week. There was ample parking for the trailers and trucks. The location to Bemus was perfect for the park, resturants, and ice cream. We made soo many memories here my family is begging to return this fall.
Our family absolutely loved this house and the owner was VERY accommodating! Would highly recommend to anyone planning a getaway to Chautauqua Lake! Our family of 12 felt right at home and had more than enough room. Plenty of activities to do for some family members that prefer not to fish and was centrally located to all of the hot spots that my family fishes regularly. Looking to make an annual tradition to this property!!! Overall 10 out of 10 rating!
Wonderful, clean and well equipped home on beautiful Chautauqua Lake. Our family of 14 enjoyed this home for Thanksgiving. It was inviting and enjoyed by all….aged 3-75 years!
My friends and I did a fall girls' weekend getaway and this was the perfect place! There were 5 of us and we were able to have a bedroom to ourselves -- plenty of room for additional guests to share rooms however. We were really impressed with the kitchen and how well-stocked it was. We brought pre-made meals that only needed to be reheated but we definitely could have cooked there -- it really has everything you need! The home was clean and well-organized. It sits about 20 steps from the water so the scenery was beautiful from sunrise to sunset. I only had 2 questions for the owner and she replied very quickly with thorough answers. I would 100% book a return stay, it was an excellent experience!
The house was amazing. There were 10 of us and we had more than enough room. The views were spectacular. The house was everything you would want for your stay. The house location was near many area attractions which made it very easy. Thank you Lisa for sharing your home with us. We would definitely rent from you again.
Property is very nice with a great view of the lake
We all had a relaxing time & especially enjoyed the beautiful views from the panoramic windows which faced Chautauqua Lake.
House is large, spacious, and very clean. You really need to bring nothing except your personal belongings. Large kitchen table where 10 of us could have dinner comfortably at the same time. The beds ,towels ,linens ,and beach towels provided were high-quality and very nice. The dock could hold my boat with no issues. The water quality of the lake however has a lot to be desired. It has been a dry warm summer but the algae in the bay at the cottage really spoiled swimming. One could not see more than 6 inches though the water in the bay where the cottage is. That was very disappointing. The neighbors at the cottage were very warm and friendly. I have stayed on Lake Chautauqua in the past . The water Quality on the deeper side of the lake is better.
This was our first stay at Chautauqua lake but probably not our last. Our three grown children and their spouses and two grandsons join us every year for a long weekend to just have family time together. We enjoyed this house because it was not only beautiful on a beautiful setting but convenient to home which kept our traveling time minimal (less than 2 hours for all of us ). The number of bathrooms made for such a nice setup for our family ! Each couple had their own space and plenty of together spaces inside and out! My kids all enjoyed the games and bikes and we brought kayaks to use too. The fire pit was nice with enough chairs for everyone! The house was well equipped with all the usual things we needed. Beds were very comfortable as were the family room furniture. We would definitely stay at this house again if our plans to return in the future workout! Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us!
Lovely house in a perfect location. Loved the dock going into the lake. Lots of fishing and swimming to be had. We also rented Kayaks from Bemus Point Water Toys. Would definitely recommend this house and the owners were very responsive and easy to work with.
This house is a real Jem. It was perfect for the family get away. We did a lot of fishing. Caught most of our big yellow bellies right of the dock and about 150 foot out from dock. The walleye was caught out in front of the Casino restaurant. It was only a 4 day trip, but are looking forward to many more.
