Chautauqua Lakefront NY Cottage Getaway

Reviews

• Incredible, peaceful cottage

  5/5

  We stayed at a the cottage for Thanksgiving and had an incredible time. It is one of the best AirBnB’s we have ever stayed at. The cottage was completely renovated with a bohemian lake vibe making it so relaxing and comfortable. It was also extremely clean! The kitchen was fully stocked with new appliances and nice add ons like coffee, creamer, honey, tea, salt, pepper, etc.

  The views over the lake at sunrise are unmatched. We got about 15 inches of snow during our time there so it was such a unique experience. My boys are 5 and 3 years old and it was the perfect place for a young family. They had the best time exploring, fishing, playing in the snow and cuddling up in the cottage.

  But most of all, the owners went above and beyond to give us the best possible experience. You can tell they put a tremendous amount of love into every detail in the cottage. They also were extremely responsive even face timing us the night before Thanksgiving to help us get the fireplace lit 🔥

  The location is great and so easy to get to Bemus.

  The heat is about 15 degrees different between upstairs and downstairs but the owner gave clear directions on how to balance it out. We cracked a few windows upstairs and turned on the vent upstairs. We then turned the fireplace on downstairs, and it was perfect.

  You will instantly relax as soon as you step foot in the cottage. We highly recommend and will be returning in the summer.

So wonderful you all were able to experience the snow, lake views, sunrises, fishing and cuddle time. We try to stock the cabinets with essentials to make homemade cooking a breeze, leaving more time to decompress. We look forward to hosting you soon!"

• Relaxing, fun family retreat!

  5/5

  We had the most wonderful week away at this beautiful cottage. Great location, very clean, comfortable and cozy beds and all the kitchen amenities you could need. We loved watching

  the sunrise (and the ducks, herons, and loons!) from bed in the morning and sitting on the covered deck or by the fire pit in the evenings. So much attention to detail was done with the decor and it truly felt like a home away from home. The health graciously list a bunch of things to do in the area which we enjoyed, but it was also just as nice to stay at the cottage and do nothing at all. Could not recommend this place. We will definitely book again!

  5/5

  This newly renovated lakefront home is an absolute gem and we had a wonderful stay! Nestled right on the water's edge, it offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and natural beauty. Every inch of the house has been thoughtfully updated, from the sleek, open-concept kitchen with high-end appliances to the remodeled bathrooms, making it a true retreat for anyone looking for a peaceful escape.

  The attention to detail is impeccable—the house is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, from cookware and linens to entertainment options like board games and streaming services. You can move right in and start enjoying your stay without having to worry about a thing.

  Wake up to breathtaking lake views from the expansive windows, and enjoy your morning coffee on the covered deck. The outdoor space is perfect for dining al fresco, hosting a barbecue, or simply unwinding as the sun sets. Plus, with direct lake access, you can easily enjoy fishing, boating, or kayaking whenever the mood strikes.

  Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat or an adventure-filled getaway, this stunning home offers it all. A stay here promises to leave you feeling refreshed, relaxed, and eager to return. We highly recommend staying here and will be staying again. Thank you for opening your home to us.

• Cottage on the lake

  4/5

  Perfect spot for a getaway . Inside is beautifully done and setup for guests. The only detractor was we felt the dock on the property needs some work to make it more stable and usable especially for fishing.

  Manager's Response:

  From the owner: "Thank you so much Adam, so glad you enjoyed your stay. After the storm we did have our dock guys come out the next day to adjust the dock piece to make the accommodation from it shifting. We look
  forward to hosting you again."
