Family Time

The Captains Quarters was our home base for our recent family trip to Lily Dale Assembly. The house provided plenty of room for our party if eight and our little dog too. Our adult kids enjoyed playing pool and chatting around the fire pit. We shared meals on the spacious deck and had our coffee on the huge front porch. The beds were comfortable and our host Lauren thought of everything, even the ingredients for s'mores. We would definitely stay again.

Amazing

We loved this house. My sister enjoyed cooking and baking a birthday cake in the amazingly accommodating kitchen. She is still raving about the stove st up and how easy it was to cook on. The pool table and game room were prefect for the adults and children. When we stay again we hope to have time to enjoy the fire pit!!

Long Weekend in Fredonia

My wife and I really enjoyed staying in this charming and very large house while in town from NYC to see our daughter perform at SUNY Fredonia. Great house with multiple rooms to spread out or have others stay over like our daughter for a home get away from school dorm life.

Sisters week in Dunkirk

My sister and I find a week each year to get together. We chose Captain’s Quarters and found the locale perfect for day tripping. It’s a town with interesting history, the house is clean and very well stocked for any size group. Definitely on the list if we want a return trip to Lake Erie.

Nice stay

We enjoyed our stay . The beds were comfortable. A plus is that there is coffee and a smores starter pack with firewood for the fire pit.Plenty of parking in the back yard. House was clean plenty of dishes and cups , could use some more pots and pans but we made do very well from what was there. Three bathrooms and plenty of beds. Communication was very good. The Dunkirk Pier is down the street. Not far to stores. We will return 😃

Plenty of Space for Family

The house was big and had enough beds, sleeping space for our family. The fireplace kept us cozy and warm during the winter storm. Extra heaters helped keep other spaces warm. It is an old house so with the winds it was very drafty. Staff was great and kept checking in with us. I would recommend this house for anyone looking to stay in the area.

Very comfy home.

Easy access to Dunkirk and Fredonia State. Liked all the parking space! Very Clean. Wish they would have said in their description that one of the bath rooms was in the bedroom with the king bed. Access was only through that bedroom. However, on the plus side there was a half bathroom downstrairs. We enjoyed our stay.

Lovely older home with a few quirks

This historic house is quite spacious, with ample parking, which is great for family gatherings such as ours. In many ways it is well equipped, but the major drawback is no dishwasher. The exterior needs some TLC, but the beds were comfy and the air conditioners in each bedroom worked well. Overall it is a good value and an interesting property. We did not experience any noise issues though it does directly face a hospital.

Charming Property

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Captain’s Quarters. We were with our adult children and three grandkids while visiting other family in Dunkirk. The property was perfect for our four-night stay. The house and furnishings were charming, and the location was great. We appreciated the host’s thoughtfulness in providing everything we needed. We will definitely be back.
