This was our first visit to Lake Chautauqua. We wanted a peaceful, quiet getaway and our number one priority was that it be lakefront/lakeview. This condo was perfect! From the first hour we were there we said it truly felt like a "home away from home".
It was even better than the website photos showed! It was bright, clean, fresh, and in mint condition, with beautiful LAKE VIEWS from the living room, kitchen and both bedrooms. The decor was so tasteful and gave a very personal and homey touch to every living space. The condo was more than amply stocked with toiletries, paper goods, linens, kitchen items etc. And we were pleasantly surprised by the Keurig coffee machine.
Another big PLUS was the easy one-level entry. Drive right up and unload in a jiffy; NO STAIRS; convenient parking. And when you walk through that front door, you are met by those outstanding lake views!
Apart from exploring the lake area for a few days, our favorite part of the trip was returning to this lovely condo at the end of the day and sitting out on the balcony. Sunset views, stars and crickets at night--enjoying nature with all the comforts of home--and tranquility!
Reggie and Jim were gracious hosts when we contacted them with a few questions, and replied promptly. I wish we would have had the opportunity to meet them. Hopefully on a return visit, because we would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to other guests. We drove the entire perimeter of Lake Chautauqua and there is NO OTHER PLACE with this location with this great view from the hillside.
Only one suggestion: while the large floor-length windows in the bedrooms afford a spectacular view of the lake by day, I would have liked darker curtains, as the bedrooms are quite bright in the morning and I am one who enjoys being able to "sleep in" a bit on vacation.
Thanks again, Jim & Reggie, for making our first visit so pleasant and comfortable!
