About this property

Peaceful Lakefront Cottage - Completely Renovated - Available Year Round!

Welcome to our lakehouse! Our 3-bedroom cottage is situated right on the water, with dock access just a few steps away. Fully renovated from the studs up, this 3-bedroom house can sleep up to 6 people. During the renovation, we made every effort to make the home feel comfortable and relaxing for your vacation, which includes full air conditioning! The master bedroom features a king sized bed with wonderful lake views. The second bedroom is appointed with a queen sized bed and a view of the canal that runs alongside the property. The third bedroom has twin bunk beds. Our main living space is open concept, with a full wall of windows overlooking the lake. The kitchen is brand new, with beautiful granite countertops, island seating, and a large dining table. We have two indoor seating areas. The first is wonderful for conversation and drinking coffee (or a cocktail!). The second has a wonderfully deep sofa for lounging or watching a movie on our smart TV. There is a fully functioning wood-burning fireplace for winter nights, and plenty to do outdoors during the warmer months! Our large patio is filled with plenty of outdoor furniture and a propane grill. The side yard has a fire pit to warm up chilly nights, and a hammock that is perfect for afternoon naps. Our secluded bay is surprisingly close to most of Chautauqua's main attractions, such as the Chautauqua Institute, which is just about a 5 minute drive by car (or 10 minutes by boat!). You are welcome to dock your boat at the community dock where we have one dedicated space, located directly in front of our property. There is a public boat launch conveniently located, just around the corner at Prendergast Point. Come and enjoy a relaxing stay on Chautauqua Lake!

There is one exterior security camera on the property. It is mounted on the garage, and facing the road and parking area.
Guest is not provided access to owner's garage/shed behind the home.

Weekend away

The cottage was beautifully designed and thoughtfully appointed, offering both comfort and charm. Its location and view were truly exceptional—especially the serene, picturesque scenes of Lake Chautauqua visible through the expansive windows. Although we visited on a chilly weekend and didn’t get to enjoy the patio or dock, the setting was still peaceful and relaxing. We’d love to return in mid-summer to take full advantage of the lake access and outdoor amenities. Rachel was also very responsive as well.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel

Host profile image
Hi! We are Rachel, Jay, and Danny and we are from Evans, NY. Our family loves Chautauqua Lake because it is welcoming, full of adventure, and offers something for everyone in every season. In all of our travels, Chautauqua is truly the most relaxing and beautiful place we've come across. Rachel has spent her life coming to Chautauqua Lake, since her family has a home just down the road. After getting married, we were lucky enough to purchase this cottage and bring new life to it with a complete renovation, painstakingly done every weekend over the course of a year.

Why they chose this property

Whitney Bay is a quiet, secluded, and relaxing place. Our cottage is surrounded by water and lush greenery in the summers, allowing you to fully disconnect from the world (though still having the convenience of WiFi!). The area is perfect for boating, fishing, and sightseeing. We spent a year doing renovations and put a lot of effort into making the cottage feel like a home away from home. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

We have amazing views of the lake and a dock right in front of the home, perfect for boating in the summer. In the winter, we have direct access to the lake for ice fishing and snowmobiling.
We are a short drive to hiking trails, antique shops, restaurants, breweries, etc. Even the ski slopes and wineries are not too far away!
