Our property is a short walk(1500 yards) down the road from Lily Dale which is the largest spiritualist community in the world. Our family has deep roots in both Lily Dale and Cassadaga village as the founders of each. The property was bought from the Holland Land Company in 1813 by Icabod Fisher. The house was built in 1879 by my Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather John Fisher. The land that Lily Dale is built on was bought from John in the late 1800's. Corydon B. Turner, one of the original founders of Lily Dale, was my Great, Great, Great Grandfather. The house is an old farm house with a total of 6 Bedrooms and a nursery. You'll find that many of our furnishings date back to the early 1900's and some even to the 1800's. The kitchen table that is still in use was built by my Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather in 1861 as a wedding present for John and Ann Fisher. One of the bedrooms is locked for our personal use. Our home is very cozy and will remind you of a time long past. If you appreciate antiques, you won't be disappointed! We only ask that you please treat our furnishings as your own. I plan to maintain the history for my family and pass this treasure to my children and grandchildren to enjoy in years to come. Our house manager, Kathy, lives across the street and should be easily accessible should you have any problems or questions.

We have a strict limit of 12 people for the house. My property manager lives accross the street and we use this to limit noise and due to the house only having two bathrooms. A confirmed booking will require a 50% deposit.

I will attatch the rental agreement with my reponse to your inquiry. Please return it with a scanned copy of your drivers license and paypal deposit to email address.

Beautiful home...great for a crowd!

The home is beautiful; antiques, and substantial chairs etc. With so many bedrooms it makes for a good choice for many friends or a couple of families to stay together and yet the home and outside spaces allow for privacy, if you want it. The beach is within walking distance as is a decent restaurant, The White Horse Inn. We stayed during a heat wave and did suggest to the owners that some new fans would be helpful (there are several at the house, however) especially with limited cross ventilation. We were met by Kathy who was wonderful: she answered a multitude of questions (as did the owners whenever asked) and she was readily available if needed. There is a bedroom on the first floor which is good for folks with limited mobility. *We have rented many homes throughout the United States and I must say that this home was very well equipped with any items you might need or want. We would rent this home again and certainly enjoyed our stay!

Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

Manager response: Glad it worked well for your group. Thanks for the review!

This is a beautiful, comfortable, gracious, historic home. We enjoyed it immensely. Though very old, all the modern conveniences were provided. The owner was easily available to answer any questions. I would not hesitate to use this site again. I'm asking myself......when can I go back!! p.s. The Cassadaga Country Club has a wonderful fish an seafood menu.

My family and I would highly recommend this property. It's very spacious and roomy. Ideal for big families or groups. It's very beautifully decorated and comfortable and you'll feel right at home immediately. The house is very clean and well maintained. It's close to the beach at Cassadaga Lake and to the Main street where the restaurants and convenience store are located. The owners and house manager are very friendly and accommodating to you and answer any questions you have immediately.

The property was just as described, and the owner was amazingly accommodating and caring. It is a huge, well-maintained home loaded with charm, and it was spotless! The mattress were the most comfortable we've ever slept on. The kitchen is spacious and very well equipped, the sunroom is enormous, and the front porch is a great gathering spot. There is a grilling deck, and the shady yard offered beautiful green grass, a hammock and picnic table. Fabulous location. The house is near two Spiritual Centers, wineries, Niagara Falls, Chautauqua Institute, Lake Erie, and other attractions too numerous to mention. The Whiskey Hill Restaurant was a real find, and it was within walking distance. The home has been lovingly cared for and would be great for reunions or families of almost any age as long as stairs are manageable.

Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

Manager info

Year Purchased: 1813

About: My wife, two children and I live in Franklin located in the Northwest suburbs of Detroit. I work in the area and my wife is a high school counselor and biology teacher who now takes care of our 1 y/o and 3 y/o full time. My family moved to this region from Princeton and were some of the first settlers in this area. The property has been owned by my family and passed down since 1813.

Why Cassadaga:
I have been coming here my whole life and it is a very special place to myself and my family. After the death of my grandmother and mother in close succession, I have inherited the house and have been maintaining it since 2006. We love the place, but it is costly to maintain we and hope to rent it to people who will love and enjoy it as much as we do to help defer some of these costs.

The Unique Benefits at this House:
Many of our furnishings date to the early 1900's and later 1800's. You won't find anything in the county with more history than you'll see in our home. The kitchen table that is still in use was built in 1861 by my great, great, great, great, great grandfather. This is likely my most cherished possession. The location is perfectly situated adjacent to the lower of the three interconnected Cassadaga lakes.
