Sister’s 50th

Beautiful updated but still charmingly preserved home right on the lake with a large yard. Lots of living and dining space and ample bedrooms. The 100+ year old house has lots of quirky charm, beautiful floors and lots of light. All the important parts to update (baths/kitchen) have been modernized and nicely done. My siblings and I and spouses really enjoyed the house. Could have only asked for better weather!

A Hidden Gem

Our stay at Patrick’s house was top notch. The check in was easy and I immediately noticed how clean the place was. The house was charming and felt welcoming, with a beautiful view of the lake in a quiet neighborhood. It was easy to drive about 15 minutes to restaurants and grocery stores. We did some side trips to Erie and Panama rocks which took about an hour and 25 minutes , respectively. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this house for a family looking to explore western NY. Communication with Patrick was quick and straightforward.

Wonderful house and location

The house was perfect for our girls getaway weekend. The kitchen was well stocked with dinnerware, pots, pans and basic spices. Great for staying in and cooking dinners on the grill! Loved the patio and fire pit. Great to sit and watch the boaters and wildlife!

Kindergarten friends getaway.

We loved the house and Bemus Point. Every year 6 of us go away in the fall….we’ve been friends for 68 years! We chose the area and house this year since it was close to our 55th class reunion in Western PA. The house was lovely and incredibly well equipped. We spent a day in Jamestown at the Comedy Museum and enjoyed that. The rest of our time was spent at or near the house…..it was too beautiful to leave! Thank you Patrick!!

Relaxing Family Retreat

We recommend this property. The property was just as beautiful as the pictures showed. Just enough room to make ourselves and adult children very comfortable. The back yard and all the lake toys is were we spent the majority of our days. Our nights under the stars around the fire! Loved the home and beautiful updates! Would come back if we have the chance.

Beautiful spot on the lake!

We very much enjoyed our stay in Patrick's home. The home has all the charm of a classic Chautauqua lake house with some renovations that provided a comfortable stay. Though the weather wasn't great for our week, we still found plenty to keep us busy! The kids enjoyed the swing and all the lake toys, and the adults enjoyed some great fishing from the dock and all the puzzles and games. We hope to visit again!

Greenhurst Home

Our trip was wonderful! Large house plenty of room. Remodeling nicely done. Kitchen had everything we needed. Lots of outdoor space for patios and large yard. We frequently grilled outside. Kayaks and paddleboards are provided, and we loved using them. Lots of other lake toys in the shed! Great place to bring a boat. Excellent docking. Patrick very responsive to messages, phone calls and texts. Answered all our questions. We have stayed in multiple other homes on the lake, and this was by far the best. We had no issues with the house. We will book it again.

Fantastic property

This is our second stay here. Fantastic, historic property in a great location on the lake. The owner is very responsive to any requests. He made sure the dock was available for our use during an early season fishing trip. This made boat access very easy. The kids caught fish right off the dock. There is ample space for multiple families and the house is well stocked with amenities. Quiet neighborhood and the firepit lakeside is awesome. We'll be back for sure.

We had a wonderful time at Patrick's home, even though it rained all week.

This property is beautiful. The lake is clean and we enjoyed just looking at it( rained all week). My sons used the kayaks which they thoroughly enjoyed. The house is beautiful and there was enough room for everyone. The 4 bathrooms were especially nice to have. We would love to go back again. Patrick always responded quickly to me when I emailed him. I would highly recommended this vacation rental.

Even better than expected!

The house was in immaculate condition, the host made it easy to check in and check out. Everything we needed was there. The property in front of the house up to the lake was so nice with lots of outdoor options . It was too cold to swim, but we loved sitting on the end of the dock watching the sunrise and then set later that day. The whole place was charming

Quiet, Peaceful Lakefront

This is probably the quietest neighborhood we've stayed in. (Of course, it's after Labor Day and during the week...) House is very tidy, good outdoor living spaces, level lawn to the lake and dock. We got in some good paddling on the lake, even when the wind kicked up. Host was very helpful, providing good information on what's available in the area. Highly recommend Fish restaurant in Bemus Point.

There aren't enough words to describe what an amazing stay this was for all of us! House is beautiful and immaculate and you couldn't ask for a better setting right on the lake! Growing up in the area, I can say without hesitation, that it would be difficult to find a more perfect setting for spending time on Chautauqua Lake! Thank you, Patrick!

Great getaway!

We visited in April for the Easter holiday. The house was as advertised. The updates are lovely and the home is very nice. It was still quite cold so we didn’t get to enjoy much time outside but we would love to come back in warmer weather because the lake looks beautiful and the location of the house is terrific. Suggestions we have are to add more comfortable seating around the house. We would have loved a few comfy chairs along the lake side of the house to sit in and read a book with a view. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

New Years get away - exactly what we needed

We wanted a quiet place for my sister to relax by the lake and for us to be driving distance to ski resorts. She spent a few days reading in the Living room while we went to Holiday Valley and Peek N Peak. The neighborhood was very quiet and relaxing. We hiked nearby around Beamus Point too. The home had many thoughtful games, puzzles, books in the Living area. It also had the most kitchen utensils I've seen at a vrbo.

Vintage charmer on the lake

A perfect place for a long weekend getaway with girl friends. This home has been updated for comfort but still has so much vintage character. The owners have provided for just about every need for your stay, both inside and out. Looks just like the photos but is so much better in person! So nice to be right on the lakefront using the yard, fire pit, or dock to enjoy the views. It’s also close to many wineries, restaurants and shops. We really enjoyed our stay!
