About this property

Secluded Chautauqua Lake House, private dock & beach, short stroll to town!

Bridlepath Lake Resort is a 2,200 Sqft. completely renovated retreat home on the Lake. A secluded gem with 110 feet of private lakefront and sand beach situated on Chautauqua Lake in Bemus Point, NY. Private and peaceful, yet within walking distance to all of the excitement (shop, dine, golf, etc.) of Bemus Point Village. With its brand new updated coastal beach design, your Chautauqua Lake experience will be like no other. Large lawns in the front (lakeside) and back of the house. Fire pit near the Lake. Long, private pier with a 12 x 20' platform at the end to enjoy lake life, sunsets, etc. Up to two boats can be tied to posts next to the dock. Large common areas (kitchen, living room, sunroom, porch and patio) to enjoy. Patio is steps from the fully stocked kitchen and living room, faces the Lake and comes with a gas grill and comfortable outdoor furniture.

We transformed an original 1930’s cottage/1960’s outdated addition into a stunning all-season lake/beach encounter. Our property is not only secluded (end of a private road) providing a peaceful experience, we're also short walk or minute drive to charming Bemus Point Village--the best of both worlds!

Our open-floor plan home and grounds includes:
- new appliances,
- central air-conditioning,
- heating system (base board/boiler heating)
- patio,
- boat dock (12x20' platform)
- all new landscaping

Just what we needed!

Stayed here for a friends weekend. Our goal was to relax and this place was perfect for it! Beautifully decorated, clean, cozy, we loved all of it. Debra was available to us if we had questions. The town is such a quaint small town and we had plenty of options to explore. Can’t say enough about this special place!

Wonderful Lakehouse

Such a great stay for our annual Chautauqua Lake visit and we'll definitely be back. Fantastic location, just a quick walk over to Bemus point. Fully equipped house with tons of room. So many cozy rooms with great views of the lake and lovely outdoor spaces. We enjoyed sitting out on the dock, having fires, kayaking, and game night at the nice large table. Stay here, you won't regret it.

Family Trip

My Husband, Mom & Uncle and I all stayed here for our little family trip to the “I Love Lucy” museum. It was the perfect little getaway. The property was beautiful and the house was spotless. The house was right on the lake, and you never got tired of looking at the view! The house had everything we needed and we all had our own rooms, which was nice. All the beds had fresh linens and towels, and everything was neat and organized for us. We appreciated the coffee and tea that was there for our convenience as well. Also, we loved how the house was decorated with lake themed & little fall decoration's for the season, it made it feel like home. The check-in/check-out process was all explained and made easy for us. We also enjoyed the cute little towns nearby and almost every place we stopped at whether for a meal or quick coffee/treat was great! We had a wonderful time and all agreed we look forward to coming back one day again!

Bemus Point, a touch of heaven on earth! :-)

What a beautiful home and quaint area! This house was immaculate, and there was so much room that we were able to relax and unwind. The kitchen was stocked with necessities, and the washer and dryer helped when we needed to wash towels after fishing in the rain. We can say this was a home away from home for us, and to add to the great experience, the hosts went out of their way to make our trip perfect! Our weekend at this house was wonderful, and hopefully, it will be available again when we want to return next summer!

AWESOME HOME, LOCATION & OWNERS

This was our first time staying at Bridlepath and everything was OUTSTANDING. The home and property were clean, up to date and there was plenty of room for my wife /self, daughter/family of 4, daughter/family of 3 and our son. The grandkids (age 1, 3 and 5) enjoyed the yard and sand beach. Walking to Bemus Point for mass, morning drinks, lunch, dinner or ice cream made it quick and convenient. Docking the pontoon boat was easy right off the dock. Rick and Debra were amazing hosts right from the start when we booked through when we lefT. We all look forward to coming back !

2024 Fishing Trip

The house was perfect for our family. We had 3 adults fro Florida, 2 adults from Iowa, and 3 adults Ana a 7 year old grandson. The 4 bedrooms were laid out perfectly for us. The whole house was great and a dining table to sit 8+ for a meal. Kitchen was very equipped and met all our needs. The patio was also very nice. The only negative was the fishing was not good for the days we were here. This was our third trip here and hope to return next year.

Perfect lakefront home

We have been coming to Lake Chautauqua for 20 years and this is the best home that we have rented . The house has a great dock for at least 2 boats. The house is nicely updated with all things necessary to make a great stay. The house is clean with plenty of room for a large family. The owners are very quick to respond to any problems that you might have. Our group has rented this home twice, and are looking forward to returning.

About the host

Hosted by Debra and Rick Hymer

Host profile image
We have many passions and being outdoor is a priority for us. We enjoy hiking, skiing, walks in nature and simply relaxing on our porch or patio. With Rick retiring in 2019 and my flexibility as a health coach and yoga therapy student, the opportunity presented itself to venture into business together. Our deep affection for Chautauqua Lake and Bemus Point spans nearly 20 years. We love all seasons in western New York and happy to call Bemus Point a special home of ours!

We are proud parents of five loving children and grampa and mimi to our two sweet grandchildren :-) We are also proud to say that Bridlepath Lake Resort is our second guest property in Bemus Point and has been a true labor of love. Purchased in 2020, we transformed an original 1930’s cottage with its 1960’s outdated addition into a stunning all-season lake/beach encounter. Check out our other Bemus property -- The Resort On Main property, in the heart of Bemus Point Village, for yet another unique lake experience! ~ All our best, Rick & Debra Hymer

What makes this property unique


Bridlepath Lake Resort is a true labor of love. We transformed an original 1930’s cottage with its 1960’s outdated addition into a stunning all-season lake/beach encounter.

ABOUT THE ‘NEW’ LOOK — Two different experiences in one home.

We kept the charm of the original 1930 cottage structure, including restoring hardwood floors in 2 bedrooms. This delightful section of BridlePath includes 4 bedrooms, bath, laundry and sunroom—all connected by a lovely and inviting wide hallway - yet another gathering place. We designed this serene section of the home with privacy in mind. We offer a comfortable and relaxed experience in our cozy sunroom oasis. You can enjoy quiet conversation, accomplish school/work obligations or simply snuggle in for quality time reading a good book.

1960 meets 2021! We redesigned the rest of the home with socializing in mind. This gathering place with family and friends lends itself to many fond memories being created. Raise your voice for some much needed laughter as you prepare a meal together and break bread at the large dining table. Perhaps movie/game night is on your agenda. Play some music and dance around the expansive kitchen and living room. Gather outdoors grilling, playing games, swimming and marshmallow toasting by the fire-pit.

GET OUTSIDE
Being outdoors or simply experiencing nature are important themes for us so even while indoors, you can bask in the morning sun light from any of the front facing rooms or step out into our screened in porch overlooking the lake — perfect for rainy days and evenings protected from the mosquitoes.

Regardless of how you and your loved ones choose to experience BridlePath Lake Resort, you get our intent — the relaxation and enjoyment indoors and outdoors will leave you reenergized -- taking with you a lifetime of cherished memories.

BOOK NOW. Few slots available. If you like what you see so far -- you will simply LOVE the final reveal! More photos being uploaded soon.
