About this property
Your country getaway with trails and a pond
Situated on 62 acres with views of our own private, 3.5 acre pond, both summer and winter are divine at Bally Loch(Galic for beautiful lake). Lots of snow in winter for skiing at Peekn Peak or The Wilderness Lodge just a few miles down the road. Our own property is also great for snowshoeing and xc skiing. Summer is equally blessed. Our large pond is fully stocked with bluegill and large mouth bass. Weedless and spring fed makes for a refreshing swim. Rural setting means the stars and moon are bright. Only minutes from Findley Lake and Peek 'N Peak Resort make this the ideal getaway for a restful family vacation OR for a creative retreat.
All the comforts of home--recently renovated and fully stocked kitchen as well as bathroom, central heating--is offset by cozy decor and fires for evening in fireplace. Everything provided including staples in the kitchen and top quality linens for beds and towels for bathroom.
Upstairs, two bedrooms offer one full size in master, and one full and twin in second bedroom.
Modern appliances, nice pots and pans, and china, silverware, and cutting knives. Picnic tables and fire pit, chairs and picnic tables outside. We now have an expansive and ever growing network of trails around the property.

About the host
Hosted by Murl Kinal
My name is Murl and I grew up on this property. Swimming in the pond and exploring the woods with my brothers and cousins. Being an avid outdoorsman I love living in Chautauqua county. This place has everything. Mountain biking, fishing, skiing, snowmobiling, hunting and boating and the list goes on. I love inviting people to enjoy our little slice of heaven.
Why they chose this property
We have owned this property or generations. Its our ancestral home and its where we come to meet and recharge. The surrounding area offers so much to explore.
What makes this property unique
The rural experience moves further and further away from those of us who live in cities for proximity to work and schools. A slice of heaven, Bally Loch is set like a jewel in the heart of Chautauqua County, which enjoys an abundance of powder snow in the winter and temperate zone lakes, farms and meadows in the summer.
Have you experienced the western New York village? with its white houses along main street, central square surrounded by shops savvy enough to know their market, cafes alongside diners, beaches along Lake Erie and the smaller lakes up on the escarpment, fruit orchards and vines along the Lake Erie plain?
We have plenty of water here! Temperatures in the summer range in the 60's at night and 70's in the day while winters can almost always be counted on for plenty of powder snow.
Spring brings wild leeks and maple syrup. Our hardwood forest offer a colorful and lingering autumn. Always a fresh breeze off Lake Erie!
