About this property

Comfortable, 3 Bedroom Waterfront Cottage on Chautauqua Lake

Come and enjoy this cozy and quiet cottage situated on the south end of Lake Chautauqua. While close to Jamestown and Lakewood amenities, this comfortable cottage is also five minutes from Bemus Point and the Lucile Ball Museum, and eighteen minutes from historic Chautauqua Institution.

On a quaint slice of Chautauqua Lake, this three bedroom, 1 and ½ bath cottage allows for guests to enjoy all that Chautauqua Lake has to offer. The three bedrooms easily and comfortably sleep 8 people in two King Size beds, a full size bed and two sets of bunk beds, all on the second floor. Each bedroom has its own air conditioner. The second floor also has a common area that joins all of the bedrooms and the full bath.

Enjoy stunning lake views from the kitchen, dining room and living room and from the large covered porch that serves as added outdoor living space. The kitchen is fully equipped including dishes and utensils, a cook-top (no oven), a microwave, a toaster and a coffee pot. A propane grill is also provided. Amenities also include a smart TV, WiFi, basic cable and a DVD/VCR player. Linens are also provided and include pillows, blankets and sheets. We do NOT provide any towels and ask that you bring your own.

Twenty-five feet of lakefront provides direct lake access with a private dock. There is a large fire pit that sits along the lake’s edge. It is perfect for evening campfires in a starlit setting.

Parking accommodations include a driveway that can fit four to six vehicles. A free community boat launch is only seven cottages away on the same street making it easy to slip your Jet Ski, sailboat, or motorboat into the water. Our dock may be used for pick up and drop off of passengers, but not for docking. There is a marina conveniently located across the lake where you can dock your boat for between $10-$30 per day (depending on the size of your boat.)

Available weeks are limited and reservations tend to fill up quickly. This location is only for quiet, relaxing vacations. PARTIES AND LARGE GATHERINGS ARE NOT PERMITTED. Make your reservation today and begin counting down the days to your Chautauqua Lake vacation!!!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Awesome cottage on the lake

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage on Chautautua Lake, it was a perfect spot to relax and escape the busyness of life for a few days. It was a lovely property, perfect for our family. We highly recommend to anyone looking for a getaway on the lake. We were very grateful for our time there and would love to go back some time.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was a very nice place to stay, easy access to everything in the area. My grandchildren enjoyed fishing off the dock and catching fish. The family thanks Matt and Sue for allowing us to stay in the home and giving us a safe, happy place to stay.

Nice accommodations with historical character

Overall a very pleasing accommodations. Bedrooms and bathroom had new linens, clean and spacious with comfortable mattresses. Smaller kitchen was outfitted well. Boat lift worked great and for the size of the cottage, seemed spacious including nice size porch. We enjoyed the rental and worked well for us. Owners were excellent to work with and really appreciated their hospitality.

Wonderful cottage!

Lovely little cottage on the water. Impeccably clean, and they’ve thought of everything. The house is well stocked and has all the kitchen utensils and pots and pans you could need, bathroom towels were plentiful. Our family enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat, and loved fishing off the dock! Great house and the owners were wonderful to work with!

Adorable place

This place is actually much cuter and spacious than it looks like online. You can tell the owners took a lot of care in figuring out the best way to help their visitors have a comfortable stay with little signs to tell you how to use things and small things like towel markers, makeup cloths and a basket of extras in the bathroom in case you forgot something. Very nice place and great communication with any questions.

Awesome!

We had a great time at this little house on the lake. It had a little bit for everyone. We all loved the paddle boat. The boys loved fishing off the dock. My daughters loved the kayak. The house itself has a lot of character because it leans a little. The kitchen has everything you need except an oven. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks Matt for your hospitality!

Family Trip

Our group consisted of four adults and an infant. The cottage has historic charm on the water. While the property is small, it feels surprisingly spacious. It was perfect for a few days with family. The hosts were very hospitable, leaving a welcome note and bottle of wine :) There are games, good Wi-Fi, and modern tv options. We Loved the covered porch. Matt was gracious in sharing information and recommendations for the area. I would definitely return. It would also be a nice getaway with a group of girlfriends.

Party of Ten

This was our third trip to Lake Chautauqua we’ve stayed at three different places around the lake and this property was our favorite. We had a great time and the property provided everything we needed (except a stove). Initially I was concerned about having a full house of ten people, but it turned out to be perfectly comfortable and adequate for us all. Matt was great to work with and very helpful and kind. We would absolutely stay here again. 👍🏻👍🏻

The stay at Chautauqua

This is an excellent property to rent! The house sits right on the water with a beautiful view of the lake from the famly room, and upstairs bedrooms. The owner thought of anything and everything. They have small notes to explain how things work, what attractions are where, and a great "incase you forgot something" basket with what most of us men seem to forget 😉. I'll 100% use this rental when I return to Chautauqua. Thank you for everything! Oh my wife said I had to add the house has great charm. 👍

Chautauqua cottage

This is an adorable cottage right on the waterfront. It was perfect for our family vacation! The cottage is not huge, but there is plenty of room & it sleeps 10 people. To us the best feature was being right on the water with a private dock! We had a small issue about the dock, but it was quickly resolved. We had a great time & would love to go back again!

Idyllic Getaway

This cottage on a lake was truly the wonderful break from reality that we were looking for. Our host greeted us warmly and gave us a tour of their home, and he was extremely communicative and helpful during our stay. The cottage is steps away from the water, and we fully took advantage of the peddle boat and the two kayaks to explore the area! I don't know whether next to tell you about the fire pit, porch, grill, or general coziness of the home, because everything really was perfect for our relaxing vacation.

Hey Dawn and Mark, Glad you had a good time again. Sorry that the next trip isn't happening. Just a note for next year the lift will not be available. However, Holiday Harbor across in Celeron has cheap daily rates for slips and is a nice marina. FYI be on the look out as a Cottage four down from us will be up for sale soon. The owner is an older guy and he and his son were down Monday preparing to list in the near future. Good size cottage with I think 25 feet of frontage. Two or three bedroom. Needs outside aesthetic work but unsure of interior. He has not been down from West Seneca in several years to stay. Take care. Matt

About the host

Hosted by Matt Hilton

Host profile image
My name is Matt Hilton and I grew up on Chautauqua lake. My wife and I moved to the suburbs of Buffalo for our jobs, but we always wanted to return to the Chautauqua area where we actually met. We have enjoyed renovating our cottage over the years, including opening up the walls to enjoy views of the lake from all rooms.

Why they chose this property

This property caught our attention because it is right on the water! When we first walked in and saw the view, we were hooked! It also has plenty of sleeping space so it is perfect for family and guests.

What makes this property unique

The location is great! Our property is close to supermarkets, Bemus Point and other amenities, yet it is situated on a quiet street. The neighbors are close, but they are very friendly. We love to relax on the rocking chairs and porch swing that are on the spacious waterfront porch.
