Located on the Goose creek wildlife preserve in Loomis Bay this is truly the sweet spot on Chautauqua lake. We are close to all the major attractions on the lake and minutes from the beautiful town of Lakewood and the Jamestown Comedy Center.

I also take COVID seriously here and I have installed an air cleaning system that will remove pollen and all viruses including COVID 19 from the heating and cooling system. We are 10 minutes from Lakewood / Jamestown, the biggest city in the county so you'll have lots of restaurants, a mall, the comedy center in Jamestown and other entertainment options. The Harbor hotel, Wegmans and Walmart are very close by for your convenience. There are 3 Kayaks available to use. You are 15 minutes from the Chautauqua Institute and 10 minutes from Bemus point.

Great location right on the creek and easy access to the lake. We enjoyed sitting outside and taking advantage of the kayaks and paddle boat. It’s a very relaxing setting.

This is our 2nd stay. The hosts are amazing. The home is well stocked so all you need to do is hit a grocery store and then relax. The dock is easy to get all of the kayaks in and out. There are a ton of osprey and other birds in the area. Morning coffee on the porch is relaxing. The fire pit was so relaxing after being on the lake. Can't wait for next summer.

Weekend getaway!

This was a great cottage for a last min Ute weekend getaway! It’s on a quiet little inlet, so we watched lots of boats go by, had a nice campfire and just enjoyed a beautiful weekend outside! The owner and neighbors were so friendly as well!

The peace of wild things

We’d never been to Chautauqua lake so this was all new. This house is billed as a wildlife experience and it surely is! Goose Creek is quiet except for bird song. Beaver swim by and geese go past with their babies. This house was really comfortable from beds to couches to the glassed in porch that looked out onto the water. Everything clean and easy to live in. The outside swing on the water is a beautiful spot in the evening. WiFi was fast, neighborhood was quiet, and location was great for visiting other towns and sights on this gorgeous lake. Good restaurants nearby, other wildlife refuges and ice cream! Lots to see around this area. We loved every minute and plan to be back soon. Host was quickly helpful when we had a question. It is highly recommended if you like nature!

Great Vacation

There is a hot tub, kayaks, or you can relax on the sun porch My adult children used every amenity every day. great local restaurant's ice cream stands and stores in case you forgot something. and of course you are very close to the comedy museum. My family would definitely come back and stay at this property again in the future

Stayed here for our fishing trip

Booking was as advertised. Nice location, just up the creek from the lake. Close to anything you might need, but out of the way. Quiet, dead end street. Would stay here again.

Terrible Stay

1. We were greeted by the neighbor in his underwear. (My 8-year-old love that)Then he came over to us and explained where we could park, where we could walk and where we couldn't. It was like we had eyes on us the entire vacation.I'm the last night One of the upstairs bedrooms was filled with wasp when we opened up the door. So we were not able to sleep there. We had to sleep on the floor in the living room. We contacted the owner and let her know and her exact words were you could pack up and leave Now.What it's 8pm I am not going to pack my family up and leave. The neighbor came pounding on the door saying he wanted to spray something in that bedroom. We refused because our 8-year-old has severe asthma and we had our dogs with us. So we were not going to take any chances when we knew we were just leaving right away in the morning.

Fall weekend get away

The house was great. It’s in nice area on Goose Creek and near the lake. The location feels secluded but all conveniences, like a grocery store, are 20 minutes away. My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

Goose Creek Cottage

This was a great place to stay if you're fishing Chautauqua Lake. Easy access to the south basin and with a fantastic view of the creek. Little kids will love catching bluegill and perch right from the dock. Couldn't have had a better place to stay for the money. Thanks for providing a great home for the week.

Peaceful retreat!!

The cottage came well equipped with all the comforts of home. The location was tucked into a canal and across from a nature reserve, which made for a very serene stay. It was nice to to be able to utilize the kayaks in the canal on the calm waters too. After a long day of fishing, having the hot tub was a plus and a fire pit stocked with wood made unwinding easy. Enjoyed our 2 weeks and caught a lot of fish!!

Outstanding Creek Cottage

Wonderful property with excellent access on Goose Creek and view into the refuge where we saw deer, beaver, and geese. Very clean inside with nice size bedrooms and renovated kitchen. Was wonderfully set up and appreciate the little details like inside board games if it rained, soap and snacks! Clean hot tub and 3 kayaks was a really nice feature. Thank you so much for letting us stay there!! Will return.

Great Getaway!

We had a great experience staying at this home! It was VERY WELL stocked with ANYthing you could possibly need! And Dan, the property manager, responded very promptly every single time I had a question or issue. The boat rental was the best part. Only able to get on the lake one day but my elderly parents enjoyed it tremendously. And we caught all of our fish right from the dock at the house which my 3 year old LOVED! Would highly recommend!

Perfect cabin for quiet getaway

The cabin was perfect for our family (parents and college aged kids). The kitchen was fully supplied with any cookware you will need plus a dishwasher. The beds are super comfy and so relaxing after hiking or kayaking all day. There is plenty of space for everyone so you don't feel like you are on top of each other. Launching our kayaks was easy from the dock and the river is so smooth and easy to paddle. The whole neighborhood is quiet and you can take a nice walk to a park. If you do want to venture out to Chautauqua Lake, you are just around the curve, but far enough that you don't hear boat noise all day. The owners were great. They answered any questions we had promptly and resolved the minor glitches right away. Would highly recommend and would visit again.

Great location, nice quiet cove

We enjoyed our stay and loved having the convenience of the dock. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and the neighbor was quite helpful. The house could use a little TLC. The sliding door from the kitchen/living room to the screened porch was quite difficult to slide and would only open about a foot. The thermostat resetting at 10:00pm made it uncomfortable for the upstairs guests. We misunderstood the listing of BBQ grill. The house had an outdoor griddle. The owners were responsive and answered our questions immediately.
