Great location

Our family of four very much enjoyed our stay. The house is located on a very desirable section of Chautauqua Lake, and the street/neighborhood is very quite. The house itself met all of our needs and had plenty of room. The home's owner Susan was great to work with and was very responsive.

Susan was a great host. She was kind and easy to get in contact with. She was able to provide recommendations of things to do for my family and I. The lake was beautiful and very quiet. We had a peaceful and relaxing stay. I would recommend bringing your own pillows is my only take away! Other than that it was a lovely home and enjoyed our time.

A spacious home in a beautiful location! Susan was wonderful about communicating with us both before and during our stay. The home is very comfortable and well-equipped. While the upstairs rooms are not air-conditioned, fans were available and cooler evening temps kept things comfortable. We would gladly return.

A perfect place for our fall escape to the lake. It was amazing to wake up and see the fog across the lake and we even had some geese and ducks come by while we were there. The house had everything we needed. The owner was doing work on one of the bathrooms but with it just being 5 of us, we were able to make do with the two bathrooms. House was conveniently located to the Institute and only a 10min drive to Wegmans. I am sure this would be a great rental during the summer given the access to the lake.

Perfect family getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay here! My family and I stayed here on our first vacation with everyone in years and Susan's place was the perfect backdrop. The location is wonderful -- quiet and on a lovely street off the main road. The large backyard, dock, deck, etc made our time there very special. It was our first visit to Chautauqua but certainly won't be our last. Susan was extremely helpful throughout our entire booking process + stay. Also, we LOVED Steadman Corners Cafe and ate there multiple times. Great place to go explore or just stay in and relax :)

Family getaway

The house and all the facilities were great – it was the weather that was not so great. Susan was very helpful and concerned about our comfort. The kitchen was well equipped, so we did a lot of cooking. We'd love to revisit the house in warmer weather.

Clean and Comfortable Stay

The house is very comfortable and clean with a very responsive and friendly owner who was accommodating to a larger group with small children. The house has an open living area with a beautifully updated kitchen. Big deck outside with a decently sized yard with plenty of shady trees. Everyone in our party had a very enjoyable time and the owner couldn’t have been more helpful and friendlier. Great location, within 10 minutes of a grocery store and many local sites. The house was equipped with everything we needed for the weekend.

Great Location!

This home is in a wonderful neighborhood and location. It is 1 mile from the main gate of Chautauqua Institution and only a few miles to Mayville and Bemus Point. The home is very large and the layout is very appealing. The deck, grill, and dock were used heavily. The home is overdue on some needed updates (bathrooms, kitchen, etc.), more than is indicated in the listing. Overall, we had a great time and working with Susan was flawless.

Mini getaway

We had a wonderful time at Susan’s place. We had beautiful views of the lake and the neighborhood was so beautiful for our daily walks. Location was great. The guys played golf . We toured a mansion in Westfield just a 15 minute drive from Susan’s place. Had lunch at a cute spot on the water also. Susan was a great host and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Thanks again Susan . We had a wonderful time. Diane

About the host

Host profile image
Long time property owner and Chautauqua Institution supporter. Spent over 30 summers here at this house with my 4 children. Location can't be beat!

What makes this property unique

Stellar view of the Bell Tower, magnificent large maple trees, easy to swim from the dock. Friendly neighbors! House has glass doors opening to lake front deck and large windows for great views. Open layout and new kitchen with top of line appliances is terrific for entertaining.
