The Manor features 9 formal bedrooms + 2 additional bedrooms located in The Cellar apartment beneath The Manor, 4 gourmet kitchens/kitchenettes, 3 large dining rooms, 9+ entertaining areas, 2 porches, and too many “flex” spaces to list. On the estate, you'll find expansive lawns, acres of wooded trails, a fire pit, and an English garden with a in ground pool (open seasonally May - October).

This historic inn turned modern-day vacation rental has been recently refurbished to offer up a dose of glamour and luxury to today's guests. Throughout the home, you'll find thoughtful design and an eclectic mix of historic and modern furniture and decor. Each bedroom includes butter-soft luxury bed linens, each bathroom has plush towels, and each kitchen is equipped with every appliance a home chef needs to whip up a gourmet meal (plus coffee and tea!) Nespresso maker and multiple Keurig machines. WiFi is accessible throughout The Manor, and each flatscreen TV has access to streaming services.

The estate also features a 3 bedroom cottage with a private driveway, located through wooded trail from The Manor, that can be added to your booking. Please inquire about availability before booking, as The Cottage does rent independently and shares swimming pool. During COVID-19 we will do a pool schedule for equal time for each guest to avoid sharing of the space.

We do allow dogs for an additional fee, one dog can be added at booking ALL others must be pre-approved before arriving. DOGS ONLY, NO CATS or other pets.

Wonderful family vacation home

We held a large family reunion in this home and had a wonderful time. It is such a beautiful home, has nice big spaces for our large group, and it was well-stocked with everything we needed. We also found several fun things to do nearby. Would definitely consider coming back!

family vacation week

Wish it were longer, so we could have spent more time on the property itself, and the chataqua region. We mostly boated and waterskied on lake and visited old friends. Wish we had a month. Only a few used the pool, and they loved it.

Family Memories

Our week at the Manor was terrific. The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking our family meals. The grounds offered so much space for outdoor fun. The front porch was a favorite of all..and so much room for people to relax and gather. We enjoyed a day at a beach on Lake Erie 15 minutes away. Michelle was very available and helpful.

A beautiful exceptional house in every detail.

Our family reunion with 20+ adults and children enjoyed a wonderful time at the Manor. We all loved the house sitting high on a hill overlooking the lake. The expansive grounds, fire pit, and pool are well maintained and perfect for outdoor activities. The furnishings, artwork, and decor is exceptional. Each room has a special atmosphere and aura created by the wall color, fixtures, art, lighting, etc. The rooms look fancy in pictures but each has a homey comfortable feel. It is a very special unique house and we are so fortunate to have gathered there. We are looking forward to staying there again next year. Elaine from Scottsdale, AZ

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Jungquist

Transplanted LA Interior Designer that moved back to WNY in summer of 2014. Together with my contractor husband, we have a passion for old homes that tell stories and make it our mission to bring them back to their glory days with modern family living in mind. We either keep them for vacation rentals or sell them so they continue their story.

Why they chose this property

CHQ Heights Manor is an unique and unforgettable property. Her history is fantastic and the soul of the house haunted me from the moment I saw it. The renovation/restoration has been a labor of love and was not for the faint of heart. Everything that we have chosen for her was done with creating a space to accommodate the needs of today’s modern families without loosing the essence of the house and the time past. We look forward to sharing this home with others for a long time to come.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, exclusiveness, able to accommodate larger groups for accommodations and have gatherings such as weddings and retreats. The views of the lake are insane. Lots of land to explore.
