Creek Side Cottage with Lake Views, Lake Access, Dock and Secluded Yard

Comfortable three bedroom cottage that is ideal for a family get-away. We have a lakefront parcel and dock to accommodate boaters and easy launching of kayaks! The secluded backyard and abundance of trees is also ideal for fall colors.

Our location is also only 3.5 miles from downtown Jamestown and attractions such as the Lucille Ball museum.

The property consists of 2 homes built in the early 1900s. The back house is where we keep the kayaks, grill, fire pit and other outdoor items. Grill your meals from the back house porch while watching boats enter and exit the southern tip of Lake Chautauqua. The back house is included as part of the regular rental.

In the main house, the 2 primary bedrooms each have a queen bed, and the 3rd bedroom has a twin as well as a twin size trundle bed. All 3 bedrooms are on the second floor. The fold out couch and futon in the living room can accommodate additional guests.

The kitchen is very spacious and has plenty of counter space. And the property itself is fairly private with fencing along 2 sides and the creek bordering the other 2.

Kayak rental is also available.
You can make use of our 6 available kayaks throughout the duration of your stay for a $100 fee, which can be added to the booking.

The lakefront property is basically just across the street and maybe 30 yards from the driveway. This is an ideal spot for fishing, boating, relaxing and viewing sunsets from our dock. The water depth at the dock can go down to about 27" though, so it may not be able to accomodate larger boats.

If you enjoy a true cabin/cottage feel for your vacation, this place is for you! We had a great time, everything as pictured on the listing. Traveled with our 2 year old and 9 month old. The back "house" and fire pit area is wonderful and such a relaxing view from that back porch. The house is old (which is part of the charm, but the floors are very uneven so wouldn't be great for any mobility issues or just-started-walking toddlers. Kitchen was well stocked with everything. Great water pressure and hot water. No complaints! Book it!

We had a wonderful week long stay! The neighborhood is very quiet, and the house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed! Although we weren't able to spend much time in the lake because of the algae blooms, we made the best of it, and had lots of fun with the games in the house/boat house, and checking out what the surrounding towns have to offer. Erik has excellent communication, and the whole process was simple and stress free!

Our host Erik was very quick to respond to any questions and very thorough and accommodating. The cottage has a quaint-private atmosphere. It is clean and well stocked, but the creature comforts are lacking a bit. The availability and use of the kayaks, and boat house were a huge bonus! We enjoyed our stay and are very grateful to Erik for his hospitality!

Reunion weekend

My 3 young adult granddaughters and I drove from Indianapolis to attend the annual gathering of families whose ancestors immigrated from Greece at the Greek Club, as the locals call it. Erik did an excellent job of explaining the location. We were surprised to realize there is a second ‘back house’ equipped with a game table, water sports items, a grill and a porch with nice seating. There’s also a firepit that we used the first night. The mosquitoes were savage, but Erik can’t control that. Bring a can of YardGuard if you’re planning to spend time outside. Inside, the house was clean, cozy and well-equipped. Everything we needed was there. The dance at the Clubhouse went until 2, so I asked Erik ahead of time if we might have some leeway on checkout so that we could be rested for the 7 hour drive home. He was very gracious in allowing us a few extra hours. I appreciate how prompt he got back to me when we had a couple questions. The girls and I had a memorable weekend. Thank you again, Erik.

Very Rustic Cottage

We were quite disappointed when we arrived. The many pictures on the website greatly enhanced how the place really looked. It was clean and well stocked with annuities. The view from the back house porch (with great rocking chairs) was across a creek--not across the lake. You must walk a short distance to see the lake and dock. The water around the dock is totally congested with seaweed and algae. Suitable only for kayaks, not boats. The firepit was nice, with lots of firewood and firestarters, until the mosquitos arrived. Stairway to the bedrooms on the second floor was very narrow and steep--but the house is 100 years old, after all! Overall, a decent visit for four people who have been friends for over 60 years!

Didn't meet expectations

I had very high hopes based on the description and photos however I have to admit I was disappointed in the condition of the property and the location. This was one of three places we stayed on a week long trip in the area and while it was priced similarly to the other properties, this did not compare. The property was essentially located in a swamp... The surrounding water was very stagnant and overgrown, nothing like the photos, the neighboring proper

The house is the perfect stay for a small group get together. Nice, clean, and so reasonably priced! The dock is a short walk and easy to tie up to.

Perfect for fishing

Weather was rough as it rained everyday, so the water and mud made things tough and the TV would not work properly with YouTube TV and the lag made it impossible to watch. Otherwise property is an excellent location e with a dock for the boat. Nice spot.

Great cottage

Very clean comfortable cottage. We stayed for 4 days in March. It was cold but the heat works great! The boat house is nice for playing cards etc and you can fish in Spring creek right off the back of the boat house. There was tons of wildlife. We saw a beaver, geese, mallard ducks, a porcupine, 2 mink and a muscrat in the creek. Great stay and highly recommend.

Perfect house for a quick getaway

I spent 3 October nights with my family including two kids, age 11 and 14. The leaves were beautiful and it was a very peaceful stay. We ate most meals in the house which had everything we needed in the kitchen. Bedrooms were comfortable. Great access to the lake where we were able to enjoy the northern lights. Cute enclosed porch where I could enjoy my morning coffee or a glass of wine at night. Would definitely stay again.

Nice getaway!

We had a wonderful and restful week at this cottage. Kitchen was well stocked beyond what we could have asked for. Plenty of paper products including tissues which as a nice touch. We enjoyed playing some of the games provided during the evenings and the property owner Erik was quick to respond when we had a question. The beds are a bit worn but we made due. If vacationers have mobility issues the stairs will be challenging to navigate. Thankful for our time away and even our 20 something son enjoyed his few days with us and commented on the amenities.
