Felt Like Home

We had an incredible holiday week at Lorraine’s home! We loved all the extra water toys as much as our kids did. Staying there truly felt like being at our own home. It was extremely spacious which gave us all space to comfortably spread out after a long day on the lake. Would love to stay again!

Family Time

Our family of six adults enjoyed time reconnecting and making new memories in this beautiful lakeside home. We enjoyed multiple water activities, all with supplied kayaks, paddle boards, and tubes. Other days were spent visiting local towns and wineries. We also had a wonderful dinner at Stella: A Kitchen & Bar with a relaxing walk along Lakeside's waterfront park afterwards. It was a wonderful week! Thank you, Lorraine, for sharing your beautiful home!!

A very nice, well decorated home, with lots of space. There are toys for small children, a huge selection of water "toys" for everyone, lots of life vests, anything you might need. The kitchen has everything you can imagine.The location is ideal... only a few minutes from retail stores, Bemus Point and the Chautauqua Institute. The owner is very responsive. An issue with the A/C was acted on quickly.

Great spot for family gathering for 2024 eclipse

We really enjoyed staying here. Good size for 8 people. Lots of amenities and very well-stocked. We went in early April to see the eclipse and we lucked out with pretty good weather, so some of the group got in some kayaking and canoeing time in. Recommended for family get-togethers.

Amazing house, location, and rental process. The owner is easy to communicate with and is great.

Easy communication, rental process, and perfect stay. Home is beautiful inside and out. Lake view is wonderful, and everything provided by the owner is so generous and we couldn't believe how perfect our stay was. I will definitely rent again if we have the chance. Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay around Chautauqua Lake.

Rainy Birthday Weekend- but the view made the sun shine anyway!

Our family rented this wonderful lakeside home for my husband's birthday. Sadly it rained most of our stay, but the view and staying in such a lovely home made the sun shine in the memories we we made. If I lived in this home I would never leave the kitchen or sunroom! We would love to block out a week in the summer next year to really take advantage of the water.

Our Family of 16 absolutely loved our stay in Ashville. Lorraine's home is unbelievable!

Lorraine, Thank you for renting us your beautiful home! Our family of 16 including 8 little ones absolutely loved our stay and look forward to renting again! The house was clean, spacious, and the amenities provided were above and beyond what we were expecting. The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock, campfires around the fire ring, and the grounds. There was more than enough to do in and around Chautauqua to keep us busy. Close enough to Lake Erie to swim and enjoy the beach and Waldemere Park. Thank you for always being available via message or text. It was great working with you! I'm already recommending it to others! Blessings!

This lakefront property was the perfect location for our family getaway. The stunning fall foliage and bonfire pit provided a memorable outdoor experience. We enjoyed the surrounding area, hiking during the day and visiting Southern Tier or Ellicottville breweries in the evening. The kitchen if fully equipped , and the thoughtful amenities like a pack-and-play, a high chair, and outlet covers made the stay exceptionally family-friendly. With comfortable beds, clean rooms, and outstanding views, we highly recommend this property and look forward to returning

Wonderful Ashville Home

This was probably the best fit for our family of the several homes we have stayed at in Lake Chautauqua. Lots of space and wonderful amenities. The dock was great for the boat we rented and we used either the dock-side fire pit or the propane fire table on the deck, each evening. We didn't use the boats and floats (kids too little), but the yard games, swings and game closet were well used and appreciated. Lorraine was a responsive host and we would love to stay here again.

Enjoyable stay

The house is great, and our host is very responsive and accommodating. Our only issue is the lake water. It’s very disgusting around the dock. It was so hot, yet no one wanted to go in the water, or use any of the water equipment, kayaks, paddle boards, floaties. We used the backyard for games and sports, and did a lot of fishing. it’s really perfect, except for the water, not anyone’s fault.

About the host

Hosted by Lorraine Stojkov

Host profile image
We're a family of 4 with 2 adult children and 1 new grandchild on his way! We love to entertain and we love to just relax. We love to kayak, golf, fish, water and snow ski and to snowmobile. Since we have had this home I have become a bit of a water foul watcher to see if I can identify each of them.

Why they chose this property

Being on the water of an inland lake has always been a dream for us. One of my favorite places is being on the water. Second to that is sitting on the deck with a good book, enjoying the fresh air and the view. We all love to ski and snowboard and the Peak is only 30 minutes away. We enjoy snowmobiling in Mayville which is also only 20 minutes away. I love boating so we rent one when we are up there. Bemus point is about 15 min away.

What makes this property unique

My favorite room is attached to the kitchen looking out at the lake through the expansive windows and with a gas fireplace for the evening. 30 min to the Erie PA Wineries. 42 min to Seneca Allegany National park and Casino. 1.5 hrs to Niagra Falls. 1 hr 25 min to Buffalo. 20 min. To the snowmobile trails in Mayville, NY. 30 min to Peak N Peak Ski and Golf resort.
