ERA Team VP Real Estate & Vacation Rentals in Jamestown, New York

“Cute little house, just what we were needing for a far getaway to experience Chautauqua.”

“We had high expectations based on the listing photos and price point. Overall, we had a nice stay and the home had everything we needed, but it does show much more wear than the photos suggest, which appear to be from the initial renovation. The kitchen was nice and well equipped, and we enjoyed the private dock. If bringing a boat, be aware there are no cleats to tie off to. We ended up pulling the boat out each night. We found the Bemus Point boat launch worked well for us. A few things we would have appreciated knowing: the bedrooms have curtains rather than doors, so privacy is limited; there is no AC in the second bedroom, although fans were provided, it was hot; and the water has a very strong unpleasant smell. The host was helpful and responsive when we had questions, and the neighbors were very friendly. Once we got past our initial impression, we settled in and enjoyed our stay. We also enjoyed the small touches throughout the home that shared some of the property’s history”

“The cottage was clean and charming, right down to the squeaky screen door and the slightly scuffed floors. And the location in the no wake zone was nice and quiet. But the water was terrible. It smelled so bad we didn’t even want to brush our teeth with it. The portable AC units were pretty loud, but cooled the downstairs well. The one upstairs had issues cooling the entire top floor”

“This cottage was directly on the waterfront of Lake Chautauqua. Beautiful view and was able to do some fishing right out the door! Very interesting history of this cottage as it was built probably in the early 1900s and completely renovated.(there was a pic in the kitchen that showed the original family) bedrooms upstairs, bathroom downstairs.All said, well stocked, clean and great location.”

“The house was right on the lake and very peaceful. We loved our time there although it was short.”
