This is a cozy, well maintained cottage with beautiful views of the lake and peaceful surroundings. You are less than 10 min to Peek n Peak! We've only been here in the winter and, as a non skier, my favorite things to do is cook in the kitchen, take walks, and enjoy a movie and a glass of wine by the fireplace. My family loves to ski and this is the perfect place to come back to for rest and relaxation! We bet this place is great in other seasons with the lake! The hosts are friendly and very responsive. Stay cozy! Love, Kelly the #PittsburghPropertyShark

House was cozy, clean, and comfortable. It was perfect size for three adults to have their own rooms. The view of the lake from the sunroom and primary bedroom was gorgeous. The short walk across the road to the direct lake access was super convenient.

The reason for our stay was to tube and ski. This location is approximately 10 minutes from Peek n Peak. It is a small old cottage. The host let us check in early. I do not reccomend this location for a winter stay as there was a dead mouse in the cottage and mouse droppings throughout kitchen cabintes along with acorns. When taking linens off one bed acorns were found in the sheets. The host was apologetic. However, for the price we paid I expect no mouse droppings, dead mice or acorns. We plan to stay at Peek n Peak next time. This may be a better location in warmer months when frequented more often. Looks to be outdoor space and a dock.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry that your stay did not meet expectations, and we sincerely regret the issues you encountered during your visit. This Circa 1900 cottage is something we take great pride in, and it is upsetting to hear that your experience fell short of the standards we strive to maintain. While the cottage is professionally cleaned and regularly inspected, we recognize that this does not change the inconvenience or disappointment you experienced, and for that we are very sorry. We appreciate you acknowledging the early check-in and our responsiveness, and we regret that these efforts could not offset the disruption to your stay. Guest comfort and cleanliness are extremely important to us, and your feedback has prompted additional preventative measures to ensure this does not happen again—especially during the quieter winter months. We value every guest and every review, and we thank you for bringing this to our attention. We wish you well on your future travels.

Happy to have found Findley Lake

Gorgeous lake. This home's location and dock were great. Not a fancy house, but it well served our needs for a place to live and sleep while enjoying the lake. Walking distance to ice cream and Main St was a plus. Wineries, breweries, and other cute towns just a short drive away.

Cute place to get away for the weekend

Great cabin! We found the porch to be inviting rain or shine, with great shade trees over the front of the house and awesome lake views. Findley lake is close enough to Chautauqua to enjoy the destination but far enough away to be a quiet getaway. Look forward to visiting again soon.

Great Getaway

Great little cottage on a very peaceful lake. We went at the perfect time of year for quiet and relaxation. The cottage was clean and well stocked with essentials. I only wish there was a ladder or stairs at the dock for swimming. We had some rain during our stay, so a pop up tent for the back yard or dock area would be a good idea to bring along. Would definitely stay again!

The location is outstanding and we spent most days kayaking, walking to a nearby ice cream shop, and walking the community. The cottage was cute given its history and it's location next to the water was ideal. Thank you so much!!!

About the host

Hosted by Matt and Leigh

Host profile image
While traveling home from a visit to Alfred NY I found myself getting tired so we decided that my wife would drive for a while. We turned onto I86 and ended up at Findley Lake. We immediately felt something special. My wife, son and I decided to get out and look around. The next thing we knew we were sitting by lake enjoying an ice cream cone. A month later we made an appt. to look at some properties and the rest is history. We love Findley Lake and always look forward to our next visit. We live in Kentucky but feel like Findley Lake is now our home away from home.

Why they chose this property

This property has a childhood nostalgic feeling of lakefront living. It's like stepping back in time...where life was simple. We love how relaxed and happy we feel when we are here. Findley Lake has quickly become one of our very favorite places.

What makes this property unique

We have made several updates such as: new patio with out door fire place, newly constructed private dock with large deck and amazing views of the lake and sunset. Updated kitchen with an island and new butcher block counter tops. Sunnyside Up cottage is so cozy and comfortable. It's very nostalgic and inviting. You won't want to leave. :-)
