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 $60 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, relaxing and viewing sunsets. And if you have a boat we also have a dock available on the lakefront property. The water depth at the dock can go down to about 27" though, so it's best suited for a pontoon or a boat with a lower draft.

Quaint cabin for watching the eclipse
Me and a few friends stayed to watch the eclipse. We loved the location - close enough to town to get essentials but in a quiet neighborhood. We watched the eclipse sunset over the lake and it was so beautiful! We loved watching the birds on the property. Our only qualm was the bathroom didn't have an exhaust fan so it got a little humid

Jamestown Trip
We enjoyed our stay. We were only at the cottage for 3 nights so we basically just slept there & ate breakfast there. The kitchen was well equipped and clean. The "Lake" decorations were a very nice touch -- they made it feel like home.

Perfect getaway
First, I went with my 2 teenagers. It was such a unique set up with the boathouse and the creek. The house was very clean and had everything available. It’s an older house with a lot of character. The sunroom was perfect for morning coffee and all the birds, bunnies and 2 ducks visiting was an added bonus. The boat house was a great hang out place with a game table, games and a TV. Bonfire pit was perfect as well. The owner communicated well and had a book of area things to do, restaurants and grocery stores. The kayaks were a lot of fun and having a private dock was nice. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you to the host!

Great stay by the lake
I stayed here with my family, including two kids and a dog. The large, fenced backyard was perfect for our dog. The kids (and adults!) enjoyed the poker table, board games and kayaks. The location is perfect for quiet walks in the morning and going out on the kayak— you can go along the preserve where we saw lots of wildlife including a great blue heron.

Perfect getaway location for Chautauqua Lake
The cottage was cute and clean. It was private and quiet as well. The cottage and its owners provided everything we needed for our weekend getaway. The location was close to Jamestown and Chautauqua Lake and all of the places we wanted to visit. Our hosts were very available for any questions we had and responded very promptly! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

New Years Eve Stay
We came up to the area for one night to celebrate the New Year with family who have a lake house in Greenhurst. Erik was awesome to work with. They even had a bottle of bubbly and some NYE favors for us which was a nice touch. Very clean. My only piece of information to pass on is the steps upstairs will be difficult for older folks or those with mobility issues. It was no problem for us or our kids.

Quick getaway
It was a great stay, unfortunately not long enough!! Went out for 2 days had great communication with the owner, very timely responses. Not many people around but the ones we saw were friendly neighbors. Will certainly stay again, went fishing off the dock with no luck was a little shallow for the time of year. Next time i will have a boat to get out for musky. All and all i would recommend it.

Great Getaway - Awesome kitchen
We stayed for a family fishing trip. Kitchen/gas stove was fantastic during meal times. Little creek is cool. We cooked out and relaxed on the outdoor porch. The indoor porch was great when it rained. Ours was a short trip and the dock was great, but for a die hard fishing group, there's no electric access at the dock for charging your batteries. For older visitors, just know there is only 1 bathroom downstairs...all the bedrooms are upstairs. Thanks, Steve.

Quaint Lake House
We definitely enjoyed our stay this past Labor Day weekend. We had a fire every night in the fire pit. Fished in the creek, and actually caught some little perch. The kayaks are a great addition for weekend fun. Early morning, when the lake is smooth as glass, is the best time! The house had everything needed. It is very private where it is located. We enjoy old and quaint. This definitely fits that description! Thank you for the accommodations!

Loved it!
The cottage and "boat house" are both really cute, quaint and well maintained. I spent alot of time outside enjoying the little stream right there as well as the birds, chipmunks and ducks :) and I would often walk over to the private dock for amazing lake views - you can also see the lake from the porch on the boat house. We utilized the fire pit several times. The location is very nice and quiet. The stairs are a bit tight, but there aren't many of them so it was doable. Bedrooms were perfect for me and my daughters and grandson. We were puzzled by the lack of real doors to close and lock (2 bigger bedrooms and the bathroom). It was an amazing stay and we hope to rebook in the future!
