Amazing weekend away!

This was the perfect place to host our annual homeschool mom retreat weekend! We had 16 women attend and there was plenty of space to spread out as well as a huge living room to gather in for our group sessions. Great location! We really enjoyed the lakefront, kayaks, dock and the amazing sunrises as well as the campfire pit. Truly a relaxing, wonderful weekend away! Thank you! Can't wait until next time!

Wonderful location

This is a grand old fashioned estate style house. Our family loved it. It's a bit rough in spots, but we found it to be quaint rather than annoying. The location on the lake is amazing and the views were breathtaking.

3 generations; 4 families; Thanks-mas

We spent our annual Thanks-mas weekend at the Chautauqua Lake Estate, and we loved it! The great room was really large, and the dining room table fit all 15 of us! Having our choice of bedrooms was wonderful, also. We played pool, put together puzzles, went for walks, played games, and watched a lot of football and hockey on TV, as well as celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas together.

Spectacular view and ample space

We had a great stay! The photos don’t do this house justice. The house is spacious and very comfortably housed 16 adults. The pool table was a hit. The large front porch makes it easy to enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Chautauqua. We look forward to staying again in the future.

Great Fall Getaway

This place is huge and beautiful! There were 8 of us and easily could have had 10 more. Very comfortable and has everything you need. We were very interested in the history of the place! Just a great vacation rental.

Great Location

We had an an amazing trip and loved the location. Everything we needed was available and the living room, dining room area was so spacious great for entertaining. The porch outside was very comfortable and the view of the lake was incredible. I would recommend that the showers and mattresses get an update for more comfort during the visit.

Great Stay!

The house was in great condition when we arrived. There was plenty of space for our large group. The view was amazing! We had plenty of room on the dock as well. It was also great that they had a golf cart for getting up and down the hill. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Family Stay

This house is wonderful- the best we have stayed at on the lake for a big group. Owners are great and the house is perfect for large multi generational family stays. We will be back for sure!!! I recommend renting the golf cart from the owners to give a break from the stairs but everything about our stay was lovely.

Exceeded expectations!

Our group of 19 spent a long weekend here to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. We had friends and family from all over (Oregon, England, Netherlands and Pittsburgh) who joined us, some we hadn't seen since before COVID. Also, some of the folks had never met each other, so the sleeping arrangements and space were tricky to accommodate. This house accommodated all VERY comfortably, with room to spare. The listing says 10 bedrooms, but there are 12, with pull-out couches in 2 separate areas. Despite on/off rainy and cool conditions, everyone had a blast! There was so much room to all hang out together, with plenty of indoor activities for the kids and adults, but also plenty of private space to get away from the mayhem. We had board games going on at the big dining room table while watching the pool tournaments in the next area (huge open floor plan). The vintage fusball table downstairs was super cool and provided hours of fun as well. A few folks enjoyed catch and release fishing off the dock when there was a break in the rain, while others relaxed outside on the veranda. The kitchen was well stocked with just about anything you would need for cooking for large groups, and they provided lots of paper and soap products to get you started. The place was clean and well cared for! The pictures on the website don't do it justice. The owner was also super responsive and friendly any time I reached out to her and check in process was seamless. We loved this place so much...our friends can't stop talking about it. We're looking for excuses for future celebrations here. We can't wait to go back, especially in warmer weather.

Perfect for a large family

We loved hosting our family holiday gathering of 25 adults & children at this venue. For the first time, we were able enjoy each other’s company with sufficient space and accommodations. Everyone had a bed, there is plenty of kitchen space (2 kitchens), and a large enough gathering area. The layout of the house allows for multiple families or groups to gather collectively or individually, as desired. Our kids found the pool table and board games as nice extras! Complimenting all this is the old world charm and lake views. The hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating. We will book again!

Family Reunion/Getaway

We were looking to rent a VRBO on Lake Chautauqua. This was just right for our family of 22. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to be comfortable and have privacy. The great room was huge and wonderful for all of us to gather together. It must be beautiful in the summer with plenty to do. The property is beautiful with an awesome front porch!

Family Christmas

We had a large family group for a Christmas gathering. The house was great. It had plenty of space for everyone to spread out and have their own spaces as well as large common areas for our “together “ time. I definitely recommend this house for any families who want to spend time together.
