About this property

Sprawling Historic Inn With Lake Frontage! Reduced rates in May/June!

Named the Mayflower Lodge, this tranquil, historic home is 3300 square feet of rustic, newly updated country charm. Situated on 1.3 wooded acres that backs up to the snowmobile trail system and featuring a large lakefront parcel directly across the street with a new enclosed deck with railings; it is the perfect setting for families to enjoy the lake and the woods with room to spread out that is truly unique to other lake cottages in the area. An incredible renovation is taking place right now! Beautiful wood cabinets and granite countertops are among a few of the beautiful new updates. Shiplap and new wood floors throughout the entire first floor. In addition, a beautiful new dining area with new windows as well as a new downstairs bedroom will replace the small bedroom upstairs. We are adding a third full bath on the second floor will include a second washer and dryer. We also now have an island in the kitchen and a dishwasher.

The home sleeps 10 people comfortably. There are 2 large bedrooms with adjoining sitting rooms that each have a queen bed and room for aerobeds that could turn each of these rooms into a family suite. These rooms have been recently updated with hardwood floors. There is a quaint deck off one of the masters to enjoy your coffee on with a lake view. In addition to these beautiful master suites, there is also a bedroom with a full bed, and a bunkroom that can house up to 7 additional guests!! Perfect for the little ones!

There is an expansive living room featuring a stone fireplace, a large sun room with a lake view, a formal dining area, a morning room off the kitchen with a new three sided gas stove. Furniture was all updated and replaced in July 2021 as well as new wood floors and windows. The kitchen has an eat-in island, and plenty of room to make meals on site. We have a wine/coffee station with a new wine refrigerator; there are three full bathrooms; however 4 out of the five bedrooms have their own sinks with hot and cold water. These are convenient for washing faces and brushing teeth.

Ample lake access for your water toys and swimming enjoyment are available. There is great fishing off the docks. A back deck, large firepit, and incredible covered patio have a barbeque grill and tranquil lake views.

The home is stocked with games, movies and puzzles and has Netflix/Hulu fire stick and wi-fi internet access.

This area offers much to do in all seasons, including: restaurants, Peak-n-Peek Resort and Spa only 4 miles away, antiquing, water sports, fishing, casinos , and Chatauqua Institute ( about 20 minutes away ), as well as wineries. Skiers, golfers, hunters, and snowmobilers will find this getaway full of charm that you won't find in any condo. Both the wood burning fireplace and the gas fireplace are a treat on a cold winter day.

All new windows throughout the house, especially the front sunroom add many areas from which to view beautiful Findley Lake!!

In 2024 a second gravel driveway was added for convenient parking !
In 2024 split air conditioning units were put in all 5 bedrooms! Great addition to this fabulous property!

Fantastic venue at Findley Lake

Our family very-much enjoyed our recent stay at the Mayflower Lodge on Findley Lake. The property was very clean, kitchen appliances/cooking were wonderful, and the dock/water sports/views outstanding. Very dog and kid-friendly with many games/activities. Can’t wait to come back!

family reunion with three siblings and their spouses

The entire stay was smooth and hassle-free. The accommodations were outstanding. The exterior of the property allowed us to view the sunset on the deck across the street, and we had campfires to end each evening. The interior was comfortable, and we all marveled at the Amish wood projects throughout. The kitchen was well equipped. Finally, the host's recommendation of renting a pontoon boat from the local marina made for an excellent day on the water.

Wonderful house

This house was amazing! The beds were very comfortable and more than enough seating for a large family to converse and relax. The house was well stocked with nice towels and bed linens. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need. The town was nice with great little shops Alexander's restaurant had great food. Check out Twin Docks and Krasa's Kove if you stay. We all enjoyed our stay.

Annual family vacation

Our group was 6 adults and 4 kids ages 6, 7, 9 and 11. Everyone had a great time! The house was amazing with so much room and places to sit - whether as a group to eat or play games or alone to curl up with a book! Kitchen was great and had everything we needed to prepare meals! Bedrooms were also great and the kids loved the bunk room where cousins could all stay together. The lake was also wonderful! We used the toys at the house like canoes and kayaks but the hit of the trip was the lily pad! We rented a pontoon boat for a day - great idea! We had two dogs with us, and they were well taken care of too! We hope to return!

Great family friendly home

We have stayed here a few times now, and always have a great experience. Home is clean, conveniently located, and well stocked with everything we need for our group getaways. We are never disappointed here. Plenty of room to spread out. We use it for ski trips, and the fireplaces are fantastic after a day on the slopes.

Quick getaway

My family and I stayed at Findlay lake for a short getaway before school got started. The neighborhood is peaceful and fun. The children loved swimming and kayaking in the lake. The house is gorgeous and very accommodating. We would love to come back in the winter for skiing. We wish we could have stayed longer.

About the host

Hosted by Virginia Scott

Host profile image
My husband, Don and I live in Northeast Ohio. We were looking for a vacation/rental property close to home. When my son found The Mayflower Lodge, we fell in love with it. The town is lovely, people are friendly. It has that small town " Mayberry" feel. When you sit near the lake and take a deep breath, you will realize why Findley Lake is a special place.

Why they chose this property

This area is a place where our family, and hopefully yours can gather to enjoy the outdoors, the sunsets, and the sights that this area has to offer. We wanted this for our 6 children and 7 grandchildren to give them a place to gather and enjoy each other. It has a feel like no other. Every single person we have met at Findley Lake is invested in the town and it's future. It is
an incredible family place!

What makes this property unique

Views from the house are spectacular
Shopping has that small town feel
People are wonderful
Large enough for large family gatherings
Fireplaces are unique
The house has incredible character
Beautiful enclosed lakefront deck built in April 2019!
Remodel in 2021
Split air units in all bedrooms
Second gravel driveway for cars
