We stayed for a long weekend girls trip. Our stay at Nora’s Nest was delightful, a beautiful home, on a very private, scenic lot. We were able to relax and unwind on the deck while drinking our morning coffee, by the fire at night (they even had wood for the fire available), or sitting on the dock watching the river flow by. The house was immaculate. The kitchen was so well stocked, I’ve never stayed anywhere that the host had anticipated your every need, from a mini blender, a mixer, air fryer, plenty of dishes and cutlery, they had it all. The beds were comfy and house was bigger than anticipated. Ed and Nora were so friendly and accommodating. The cookies they left for us were a sweet touch. We had everything we needed for a wonderfully relaxing weekend. We both wished we didn’t have to go home. I hope to come back again!

Our Stay at Nora’s Nest

We absolutely loved our stay here. The house and renovation work is so beautiful and it felt cozy and homey. The location is amazing, we really loved being right by the water. We had a fun and relaxing time. It’s also close to stores, restaurants, and other activities which was nice and convenient. We are planning on staying again next year and definitely recommend this place to others!

Miller family vacation

Noras Nest was a great place to stay for our family of 5. We docked our pontoon there and spent time on the lake fishing and tubing. The kids also caught a lot of fish bluegill and perch from the dock. The cottage was super clean when we got there and had all the amenities we needed. Really enjoyed the nice porches for grilling and dining. Hosts were very friendly.

We stayed for the weekend and had a great time. The town was very nice. The Pub, southern tier brewery and distillery as well as the National Comedy club were all great. Would come back again for sure. The house was very cute and clean and perfect to go fishing out on dock. Very nice neighborhood and atomsphere.

Great getaway

Norine & Ed have a great place in Jamestown NY on the Chadakoin River which leads out to Chautauqua Lake. We had a great time with our family. The house is great and the yard is perfect for backyard game's. The river with dock gave us a place to dock our jetski for fun on the lake. i

Beautiful pictures do not do it justice. Easy access yo Chautauqua Lake. It was very quiet. Can fish from the babk but the dock was broken so you cannot get in on site. Nora Nest is a return visit for sure

Hi Angie, we do not advertise having a dock because we have not had the opportunity to replace it. However, at the beginning of this week we did buy new sections. We are hoping to get them in next week.

Adorable and cozy

This location on the lake is beautiful. We loved being able to throw a line in without leaving the property. My husband even caught many bass, perch and catfish. The other things available outside were cornhole and a fire pit. It was a wonderful experience.

Great for boating and fishing

We were looking for a place to do a fishing trip with our 25 foot pontoon boat. Nora's nest was perfect. The dock accomodated our boat great, and there was room to park the trailer. The house was clean and modern and it was great to stay there. The river was very good fishing and the water was calm. It was a 15 minute boat trip to be out on the lake and only that long cause it is a no wake zone. Overall i was very impressed.

Why they chose this property

This property was my husband's grandma's home and bait shop. Hence the name "Nora's Nest". After her passing the home sat vacant for many years. My husband and I were blessed with the opportunity to take ownership of the property. We have spent 3.5 years tearing down structures on the property, such as other homes, woodsheds and a bait house. We have cut down trees, raised the yard and remodeled the porch and home. We put in a new dock. Nora was an amazing woman, and her son Dale was an amazing father to us. We wanted to keep this property going in their memory until we can someday retire here. It has a beautiful view of the Outlet in the Summer and Fall months. We were married outside on the property next door.The fishing is great year round!

What makes this property unique

This property is ideal for a family of 4-6 that wants to get away from City life and simply relax on the lake, sit by a fire boat or fish. There is always something to do within a 20 minute to half hour drive. The Casino and Ski resorts are about a half hour to 45 minute drive away.
