About this property

We love our house and it shows. Live the lake life.

Welcome to our Lake House ! Our Lakehouse is a private lakefront home with our own dock a walk out beach area and large yard and ample room for 6 guest to RELAX and a parking area with ample room for cars & a trailer! We love our LAKEFRONT House and the location is fantastic! This is a 3-bedroom 2 full bath house that is situated right on the water, with our own dock. The master bedroom features a 14.5 " memory foam Queen-sized bed with non stop wonderful lake views. The 2nd bedroom is appointed with a full-sized bed. The 3rd has a queen sized bed. The main living space is open and spacious with wonderful views of the lake, with a wall of windows looking towards the lake and a 65" HD TV with many streaming channels to stream your shows and providers. The kitchen is new, with plenty of countertop space and some island seating for 4, there is a dining room table inside for group dining or board games. We have a large seating area indoors for movie watching or simply hanging out…although you'll probably spend more time outside! There is a large deck with a gas grill and plenty of greenspace on the lawn for games or simply playing! The outdoor furniture includes a 2-person hammock and outdoor dining set for al fresco dining and a picnic table in the backyard. While enjoying the large yard, don’t forget to bring some wood with you for campfires and make yourself comfortable on the Adirondack chairs that surround our fire ring situated lakeside. There are 2 kayas and bikes for your use. There is ample seating at the picnic table on the dock for enjoying coffee @sunrise or ice cream while watching sunsets. Enjoy a simple walk across the street for an ice cream cone! Yes! You are that close to the perfect summer! Sherman’s bay is close to most of Chautauqua's main attractions, such as the Chautauqua Institute, which is just about a 20-minute drive by car. We are only minutes from the cute towns of Lakewood, Jamestown and Mayville which has anything you would need. A 15-minute drive (20-minute boat ride) to Bemus Point. You are welcome to tie your boat off on our own secure boat cage on our OWN private dock during your stay (June - mid October) The water depth is at approx. 3 ft deep around our dock, so docking your boat should not be a problem. Don’t have your own boat? Not to worry! There are many boat rental options right down the bay. There is little you will be missing during your stay! Enjoy a quiet vacation in a clean, updated lakefront cottage with all the modern amenities! Come and enjoy a relaxing stay on Chautauqua Lake! Our lakehouse has so much to offer.

Another great stay, as always

This is our second stay at this location (and 4th or 5th on Chautauqua). Our kids demanded that we come back to the same house for its great dock, proximity to ice cream, and overall relaxing vibe. We had an excellent time and can't wait to do it again.

Would definitely stay here again!

The house was great and exactly as described. Right on the lake, with a great dock, kayaks, and yard games to enjoy. Better yet, it's right across the street from a fabulous ice cream stand and less than a mile from a world-class craft brewery. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful Lakehouse Vacation

This is the second year we have enjoyed a vacation at the Blue Heron Lakehouse. We really enjoy everything about it. Clean, delightfully decorated, so many amenities, right on the lake with 2 kayaks included (bikes also although we didn't use). Such a restful place to enjoy Chautauqua Lake.

Beautiful home

The house is very clean, nicely decorated, beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed. My only suggestion is an additional comfortable chair in the great room. We had a lot of rain, so watched TV more than we would have normally, there were 6 of us so someone had to sit on a dining chair.

We just feel so at home at this property! We enjoyed all of the upgrades! It was particularly nice to be greeted by you and your husband! Bringing our daughter and son-in-law’s boat proved to be even more fun, and it was well protected during a couple of the thunderstorms we encountered.

Twice-proven this is a great place to stay. The covered patio and bikes were a very nice addition this year! Plus having an umbrella on the dock picnic table provided needed sun protection. Very nice owners! Appreciated the communication as needed. Love the sunrise and sunsets. The property is so close to anything you could possibly need.

Host profile image
I love to travel. I have rented a lot of places in my travels. I decided Chautaugua Lake is The Place I want to keep coming back to so i bought this house. I wanted to be part of Chautaugua Lake life. This house is a home oasis away from home. I love to host people. I want my guests to know i appreciate you choosing my house as your Place. I want to share my love for this lake, lake life and community with you.

Why they chose this property

I love my lake house. so many special moments and memories are made here. i want to share it with you and your special someone(s). This house is pure joy and relaxation you feel at home here and come back again and again. I want your children to remember this summer vacation as one of those great summer times they spent with family swimming, fishing, boating, bonfire/stories/smores' making vacation of childhood! Where a couple rekindles their joy for each other and curls up with a glass of wine and says life with you is great!

What makes this property unique

lakefront private dock, huge yard, house is larger than you thought. stunning views from inside and out. amenities set me apart. almost everything you need is here already. grab your cloths and toothbrush and hit the road this house awaits you!
