Check in was easy! The house was ready for us do walk right in. Everything was clean! The kitchen is a basic kitchen. Lots of pots and pans and utensils.Great getaway for the family! We enjoyed fishing in the pond every day, all day. Then exploring Chautauqua & Erie beaches.
Booking and communication with property manager was easy and quick. We needed a place last min when my father in law passed away. The host knew we had a long drive from Ga to NY and made sure the lights outside were on and offered to let us stay a little past check out the day after his service. They were not expecting guests for another few weeks but made sure everything was perfect before our arrival. The yard is AMAZING! Perfect place to relax and give thanks. 10/10 would recommend and hope to be back
Booking was smoothe and the owner was easy to communicate with.
The property is beautiful, even better in person, and the cabin was clean and inviting. We are a family of 6 (2 adult children, 2 teens) and we had plenty of room. The kitchen had pots and pans for cooking (for those who want to cook), dishes and utensils we also supplied.
My family very much enjoyed the peace and quiet of the property, morning coffee on the deck, hiking in the woods, watching the fish in the pond, and nightly fires in the pit.
You have to bring your own towels and paper products.
The property has well water and the owner suggests bringing bottled water.
I would highly recommend staying here!
This was the perfect getaway for our family! Tons of fishing, board games, and laughs. This a wonderful setting if you enjoy the woods and nature. The owner communicated everything with us. The woods kept the house cool at night, in fact the room with the air conditioner wasn't as cool as the rest of the house. The things we thought would make this better is if the beds were made upon arrival and if there were blankets for each bed. And if there was enough shampoo, conditioner, and soap/body wash for a family of 4. But, we will be sure we have those next time, because this is a gem!
The cottage is a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of life and mere steps away from all that Chautauqua Lake has to offer. Communication with owners was super easy and access to the property was, likewise, easy. The pond on the property along with the fire pit added to the experience. This is a great place for a getaway. Highly recommend this property if privacy and proximity to Chautauqua lake are what you are looking for.
The property was great! It was a bit muddy (as expected for this area in early April) but the location was beautiful and the house was nice and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and managed to get clear skies for the eclipse without dealing with the traffic. Definitely plan to keep this in mind for future trips.
Oh we absolutely are leaving 5 stars! Would leave more if we could. This place is gorgeous and the hosts are awesome. I don't understand how anyone could have anything negative to say about this cabin in the woods. And donât get me started on that master bath! AMAZING! It's a unicorn of a find! And donât tell anyone, but itâs a bit of a fishing honey hole! I hope they will have us back year after year. What a great stay!
My huband, daughter and I stayed here 10 yrs ago with our two dogs. We had a wonderful time then and it was a repeat. We have since lost one of our dogs but our 14 yr old pup enjoyed relaxing by the firepit, pond and walking around in peace and serenity (as did we!). Our only regret is having to pack up and come home. It rained a few times during our stay and we had front row seats to a stunning lightening show on our last evening. We passed the time with boardgames and relaxing to the sound of rain.
We cannot wait to come back, and this time we won't be waiting 10 years!
This property is so beautiful. The Cabin is clean, spacious, and has everything you need for a perfect stay. The outdoor space is awesome; whether you want to chill on the deck, have a fire in the fire pit, or throw a fishing line in the lake. Our granddaughter caught tons of blue gills, sunnyâs and small bass and loved it.
I canât say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. The host Liz was easy to contact and was so helpful when we reached out. We will be booking this property againâ€ïž
If youâre looking for peace and quiet away from everything this is it. One beautiful place with just enough room out in the woods even has a nice little pond. It would be hard to beat for the price.
This is a unique property, incredibly private. The house was clean, well maintained and very comfortable. The host was responsive and helpful. Loved the place.
This was a great cabin stay for my family of 7! We went to Chautauqua and Niagara Falls and it as the perfect getaway from our NYC part of the trip. New sheets and great outdoor seating made the stay even better. We saved money by cooking at home and bought water at the store so we didnât taste the tap water. We created nice memories family together at this remote cabin!
My family and I stayed here for a few nights. The cabin was absolutely beautiful! My family and i loved the location. Close trip to Niagara falls! The woods around the cabin was beautiful the lake was amazing for fishing and my little guy caught his first fish! Highly recommended staying here and the host was always in contact and was great! Will be staying here again.
Our long weekend stay at this chalet was perfect!! The property was private, quiet, and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend! The pond was amazing for some catch and release fishing. Our two furry friends had some off leash training and wore themselves out before sleeping next to our evening fires. I would totally recommend this to anyone looking to get away for a few days!! And Liz (owner) was fabulous with her communication with me when we had any questions!!!
The outside property is beautiful. The challenge starts when you enter the door. No sheets or towels (stated up front) . No usable/drinkable water. It smells like a sewer and you have to use bottled water for everything because you donât want contact with the water. No soap or shampoo. I donât want to go on and on. Suffice to say it was nothing like other vacation rentals we have loved over the years. We struggled with the value since it is basically camping.
We decided to do a last minute getaway to Chautauqua Lake and even though we couldn't find a house on the lake, luckily we found this place with a pond.
We ate our breakfast and dinner on one of the decks overlooking the pond which was really nice.
In the evening we had a fire(don't forget your firewood). The temperature was cold enough to keep the bugs away but we still had our bug lanterns.
Also we recommend taking paper towels and napkins since they are not provided.
If you are looking for a quiet place to go near Chautauqua Lake away from the crowds but close enough
to access the restaurants etc at the lake, this is an excellent location.
Another benefit is how responsive Liz was to provide us information and answer all our questions.
Communication with the owner is fantastic. Any question was answered immediately. Cabin is on a great property with awesome views and trails to walk. Sitting by the fire at night was the best. The pavilion was a perfect place to store the wood we brought. Inside the cabin was clean, had heat we actually needed at night, and kitchen has the essentials. The only âwarningâ I would add is be prepared to live out of your suitcase as there are no closets or dresses for cloths. No big deal when your doing a weekend in the woods. We will come back.
Our second year vacationing here and it was just as good as the first.. Love this private getaway.. much to do especially if you love the outdoors.. will be back again!
