Location: Westfield, Chautauqua, Allegheny, New York, USA (60 miles west of Buffalo, NY & 28 miles east of Erie, PA) View Map
Accommodations: Cottage, 1 Bedroom + Convertible Bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)
Relax or play in our brand new beachfront cottage with panoramic views of the sunsets on Lake Erie. You will find our cottage to be quite comfortable offering all the utility of a larger home. When you arrive you will find yourself nestled between Lake Erie and Chautauqua Creek on 7 forested acres. Both features can be accessed in less than a 200 foot walk from the cottage. On the beach you can spend time hunting for beach glass and driftwood, or take the half-mile walk along the beach to Barcelona Harbor area to enjoy a bit to eat, a cocktail, or even purchase a smoked fish at the fish market. Barcelona Harbor also offers a marina and a public launching facility to access Lake Erie. Do you want to go fishing? Take a charter out of the harbor, or try and hit the world renowned Steelhead fishery found in Chautauqua Creek. Also, there is plenty of room at the cottage to park a boat and trailer if you want to do your own thing. Don’t worry if Lake Erie is a little too rough on that day for boating. Make a trip to any one of the four inland lakes a short drive from the cottage. Chautauqua Lake is the largest and closest (5mi.) inland lake to the cottage. Chautauqua Lake offers many attractions available by boat that includes, The Chautauqua Institution, Midway Amusement Park, Long Point State Park, shopping, and numerous restaurant/bar establishments. A full service RV hookup is available at the cottage in case you want to vacation with equipped family or friends. There is truly something for everyone here.
Consider a wine tour if you’re looking to venture away from the lake for a bit. Lake Erie Wine Country, located in the largest grape-growing region east of the Rockies, extends roughly 45 miles from Silver Creek, New York to North East, Pennsylvania. By the end of 2011, it will be home to over 23 commercial and estate wineries. Other attractions within arms reach include Niagara Falls, restaurants, ski resorts, snowmobile trails, nature trails, golf courses, inland lakes, shopping, and a casino, most in less than a 30 mile radius. Additionally, one can find cultural stimulation at Chautauqua Institution. Here you can enjoy their symphony, concerts, speaking venues and theater performances.
We are located ½ mile from the New York State Thruway (I-90), Exit 60. From here, you will find that it’s a quick ride to and from the Buffalo or Erie International Airports.

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2011
Why the Owner Chose WestfieldWe chose to build here to provide visitors with actual beachfront access. Much of the Lake Erie shoreline is elevated high on bluffs making it quite inaccessible. While staying here, you will find access to the lake very easy and the beach to be quite extensive.
The Unique Benefits at this CottageWhether you’re an experienced steelheader or beginner we can accommodate you. We have teamed up with Chrome Run Guide Service. Any anglers new to the fishery can take advantage of learning expert techniques necessary for landing steelhead. Call now for special rates on fishing packages. Remember, Chautauqua Creek is in the middle of "Steelhead Alley" where anglers can head in either direction to fish other streams. Chautauqua Creek has one of the largest catch rates of Steelhead in "Steelhead Alley". It has been calculated that fishing success equals 2.5 fish/hr. of fishing effort.

The cottage was as promised, steps to the shore of Lake Erie and Chautauqua Creek. Very clean, with a small but well furnished kitchen. The wife and I enjoyed our stay there very much. Thanks again, David.

My wife and I arrived after dark on the coldest day of the year and were welcomed with a warm, cozy cottage. Very comfortable and there was everything we needed. In fact, there were probably even more supplies than are listed. Access to the lake is very easy, and the beach is great. Took a couple long walks and found beach glass, beautiful stones. Our excursions were limited by the ice and snow, but it's a beautiful location any time of the year. Close to wineries. Easy beach to kayak or canoe off of. Highly recommend this place.
Owner response:Glad you we able to encounter and enjoy a winter experience at our cottage. Thank you for the nice comments. Dave

It was a birthday present for someone very special, so thank you for making our stay with you very special. Peanut & Sophie say thank you also, they loved walking along the beach. Thank you so much!

Simply cannot say enough good things about this cottage! Warm, quiet, very clean and I loved how it felt very secluded yet it was still close to so many things (wineries for me, fishing for my hubby). Thank you so much for allowing pets…our lab Enzo could had a blast! (but he lost his favorite ball). We came for a quick getaway for our fifth anniversary and it had more than we could’ve asked for. Can’t wait to come back!
Owner response:It was nice having you with us, and I enjoyed our conversation. I keep looking for that dang ball to wash up on the beach. Nothing yet, you may have to plan a vacation to Canada to look. Ha-ha. Thanks Again, Dave

We stayed for a week of fishing and just to get away. We got all of that! Very clean, cozy, and quiet cabin. Everything you need is available. It is private yet close to different things to do: The Sugar Shack, Zebro's restaurant, the Chatauqua wine trail, and even a day trip over to Niagara Falls! I will recommend this place to anyone looking for the perfect getaway. I am already looking forward to seeing when I can come back. :)
Owner response:Happy to hear you enjoyed our cottage and the area. Nice that there was something for everyone to enjoy.
