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.

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.

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!

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.

A Gathering Place

All of our wants and needs were met in this grand setting for our large three generation family. The spacious indoor and outdoor areas provided us with endless opportunities to gather for games, meals and conversation yet there were many spots for seclusion. Property manager made everything easy and we will happily rebook for next summer.
