The house was in a beautiful location with a stunning view of the lake. This is the house for you if you're looking for a large roomy space for your get together. Three floors, several bedrooms, some with their own bath. Huge living space to gather all together. Kitchen had everything needed to create great meals for our family. Host had swift and informative communication. Boat dock for son's boat worked out well. Wonderful family get away. Niagra Falls is only a couple hours away!

Absolutely wonderful

The pictures do not do this place justice...it is absolutely stunning. We had a group of 12 ladies get together for a weekend getaway and the house was perfect for it. We had plenty of space, ample bathrooms and the most gorgeous views. Communication with the host was impeccable, any issues we had were addressed to ensure our best stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Great house

Beautiful old home with lots of character. We stayed here with 18 adult women (cousins’ weekend) and there was plenty of room for all of us. Plenty of beds and bathrooms, large kitchen for lots of cooks, large dining table and a huge living room. We enjoyed the game room in the basement and roamed the large property. If only the weather had been better, we would have enjoyed the lake more. The property owner was easy to reach when we had an issue and it was handled promptly. We are already talking about doing it again next year!

Wonderful location

This is a grand old fashioned estate style house. Our family loved it. It's a bit rough in spots, but we found it to be quaint rather than annoying. The location on the lake is amazing and the views were breathtaking.

Amazing weekend away!

This was the perfect place to host our annual homeschool mom retreat weekend! We had 16 women attend and there was plenty of space to spread out as well as a huge living room to gather in for our group sessions. Great location! We really enjoyed the lakefront, kayaks, dock and the amazing sunrises as well as the campfire pit. Truly a relaxing, wonderful weekend away! Thank you! Can't wait until next time!

Wonderful Family Stay

This house is wonderful- the best we have stayed at on the lake for a big group. Owners are great and the house is perfect for large multi generational family stays. We will be back for sure!!! I recommend renting the golf cart from the owners to give a break from the stairs but everything about our stay was lovely.

Great Location

We had an an amazing trip and loved the location. Everything we needed was available and the living room, dining room area was so spacious great for entertaining. The porch outside was very comfortable and the view of the lake was incredible. I would recommend that the showers and mattresses get an update for more comfort during the visit.

We had a great stay! The photos don’t do this house justice. The house is spacious and very comfortably housed 16 adults. The pool table was a hit. The large front porch makes it easy to enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Chautauqua. We look forward to staying again in the future.

Family Reunion/Getaway

We were looking to rent a VRBO on Lake Chautauqua. This was just right for our family of 22. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to be comfortable and have privacy. The great room was huge and wonderful for all of us to gather together. It must be beautiful in the summer with plenty to do. The property is beautiful with an awesome front porch!

3 generations; 4 families; Thanks-mas

We spent our annual Thanks-mas weekend at the Chautauqua Lake Estate, and we loved it! The great room was really large, and the dining room table fit all 15 of us! Having our choice of bedrooms was wonderful, also. We played pool, put together puzzles, went for walks, played games, and watched a lot of football and hockey on TV, as well as celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas together.

Perfect for a large family

We loved hosting our family holiday gathering of 25 adults & children at this venue. For the first time, we were able enjoy each other’s company with sufficient space and accommodations. Everyone had a bed, there is plenty of kitchen space (2 kitchens), and a large enough gathering area. The layout of the house allows for multiple families or groups to gather collectively or individually, as desired. Our kids found the pool table and board games as nice extras! Complimenting all this is the old world charm and lake views. The hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating. We will book again!
