Creek Side Cottage with Lake Views, Lake Access, Dock and Secluded Yard
Comfortable three bedroom cottage that is ideal for a family get-away. We have a lakefront parcel and dock to accommodate boaters and easy launching of kayaks! The secluded backyard and abundance of trees is also ideal for fall colors.
Our location is also only 3.5 miles from downtown Jamestown and attractions such as the Lucille Ball museum.
The property consists of 2 homes built in the early 1900s. The back house is where we keep the kayaks, grill, fire pit and other outdoor items. Grill your meals from the back house porch while watching boats enter and exit the southern tip of Lake Chautauqua. The back house is included as part of the regular rental.
In the main house, the 2 primary bedrooms each have a queen bed, and the 3rd bedroom has a twin as well as a twin size trundle bed. All 3 bedrooms are on the second floor. The fold out couch and futon in the living room can accommodate additional guests.
The kitchen is very spacious and has plenty of counter space. And the property itself is fairly private with fencing along 2 sides and the creek bordering the other 2.
Kayak rental is also available. You can make use of our 6 available kayaks throughout the duration of your stay for a $100 fee, which can be added to the booking.
The lakefront property is basically just across the street and maybe 30 yards from the driveway. This is an ideal spot for fishing, boating, relaxing and viewing sunsets from our dock. The water depth at the dock can go down to about 27" though, so it may not be able to accomodate larger boats.

My wife and i stayed 2 nights and thiroughly enjoyed our time! We loved the cottage experience! The place was clean, comfortable and private. Having kayaks was a plus also. Wished we could have stayed longer! Host was personable and timely with communications. You won't be disappointed!
House was very clean and in a great location with easy access to Jamestown and lake. Host did a great job setting us up for a fun weekend and went out of his way to make our trip a success. If we make it back to this part of the country again we will definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful week long stay! The neighborhood is very quiet, and the house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed! Although we weren't able to spend much time in the lake because of the algae blooms, we made the best of it, and had lots of fun with the games in the house/boat house, and checking out what the surrounding towns have to offer. Erik has excellent communication, and the whole process was simple and stress free!
Our host Erik was very quick to respond to any questions and very thorough and accommodating. The cottage has a quaint-private atmosphere. It is clean and well stocked, but the creature comforts are lacking a bit. The availability and use of the kayaks, and boat house were a huge bonus! We enjoyed our stay and are very grateful to Erik for his hospitality!
The house is the perfect stay for a small group get together. Nice, clean, and so reasonably priced! The dock is a short walk and easy to tie up to. Erik was the best host we’ve experienced and had great communication before and during our stay. Would definitely stay again! Thank you for such great hospitality!

Thank you so much for the remarks! You were terrific guests and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay.
Thanks again!
If you enjoy a true cabin/cottage feel for your vacation, this place is for you! We had a great time, everything as pictured on the listing. Traveled with our 2 year old and 9 month old. The back "house" and fire pit area is wonderful and such a relaxing view from that back porch. The house is old (which is part of the charm, but the floors are very uneven so wouldn't be great for any mobility issues or just-started-walking toddlers. Kitchen was well stocked with everything. Great water pressure and hot water. No complaints! Book it!
Beautiful property with excellent location by both a quiet creek and the main lake itself. Kids loved every moment of the creek, short drives to state parks, overall great time
Very clean comfortable cottage. We stayed for 4 days in March. It was cold but the heat works great! The boat house is nice for playing cards etc and you can fish in Spring creek right off the back of the boat house. There was tons of wildlife. We saw a beaver, geese, mallard ducks, a porcupine, 2 mink and a muscrat in the creek. Great stay and highly recommend.
Weather was rough as it rained everyday, so the water and mud made things tough and the TV would not work properly with YouTube TV and the lag made it impossible to watch. Otherwise property is an excellent location e with a dock for the boat. Nice spot.
My teenage daughters and I rented this property for a couple nights to get away and relax before school starting up again. Everything was even better then described. The outdoor area with picnic table and fire pit is where we spent most of our time! Beautiful and serene!!
Erik was great to work with and went out of his way to help us gain 2 more kayaks for our travelers. The house is in a great spot near the lake and it was a great time
Everything you need and more. Host was very accommodating. Would definitely recommend friends and family.

About the host
Hosted by Erik Silders
We started coming to Lake Chautauqua about 10 years ago and camping at Camp Chautauqua. We grew to really love the area and then started staying at Chautauqua Harbor Hotel. It seemed like the more we visited the more we wanted to come back.
That lead to looking for a place where we could stay longer, enjoy the lake and the outdoors easier, and just make it our second home. We now think we have that perfect getaway!
Why they chose this property
We love the serenity of the back yard while still having the lake front just a few steps from the driveway. Plenty of lake views from the yard that is also bordered on 2 sides by Spring Creek. We'll often see some ducks or other wildlife both in and out of the creek.
The back house also provides the perfect place to spend your day playing indoor or outdoor games or grill dinner while celebrating a day on the lake or enjoying the nearby sites, shops and restaurants.
What makes this property unique
This property is unique in the area for the fact that we have both privacy and lakefront and dock access. Our backyard borders a watershed conservancy and the creek on 2 sides makes for a serene setting in the backyard. While only a few steps away across the street is the lake and our dock to enjoy the views and watch the boats go by. Or launch a kayak or dock your own boat.
