This property is BEAUTIFUL! More than met our expectations for our family fishing trip! We’ve already requested a booking for next year! The property host is excellent with communication and ensuring our needs were met! 5 STARS should be 10 STARS if VRBO allows!

Our 24th year to gather as a family (that continues to grow). This space gave us plenty of bedrooms and living space to be together. Things we did and enjoyed: game tables, sitting on the porch overlooking the lake, kayaking, games/puzzles, fire in the firepit, grilled dinner. We rented a boat one day and explored the lake. There are several small towns with different things to do within 10 min - 1 hour. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at the Chautauqua Lake Estate! Not only was the house huge, but the Host was wonderful - returning our inquiries immediately. The driveway was plowed (we had a lot of snow), and a shovel magically appeared.

Fantastic house and location

Really great place to stay. 12 bedrooms and lots of living space both inside and out. Great view of the lake. Nice dock and swimming. Owners are easy to get ahold of and respond quickly to any issues.

Wonderful Family Stay

This house is wonderful- the best we have stayed at on the lake for a big group. Owners are great and the house is perfect for large multi generational family stays. We will be back for sure!!! I recommend renting the golf cart from the owners to give a break from the stairs but everything about our stay was lovely.

Wonderful location

This is a grand old fashioned estate style house. Our family loved it. It's a bit rough in spots, but we found it to be quaint rather than annoying. The location on the lake is amazing and the views were breathtaking.

Absolutely wonderful

The pictures do not do this place justice...it is absolutely stunning. We had a group of 12 ladies get together for a weekend getaway and the house was perfect for it. We had plenty of space, ample bathrooms and the most gorgeous views. Communication with the host was impeccable, any issues we had were addressed to ensure our best stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Location

We had an an amazing trip and loved the location. Everything we needed was available and the living room, dining room area was so spacious great for entertaining. The porch outside was very comfortable and the view of the lake was incredible. I would recommend that the showers and mattresses get an update for more comfort during the visit.

The house was in great condition when we arrived. There was plenty of space for our large group. The view was amazing! We had plenty of room on the dock as well. It was also great that they had a golf cart for getting up and down the hill. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was in a beautiful location with a stunning view of the lake. This is the house for you if you're looking for a large roomy space for your get together. Three floors, several bedrooms, some with their own bath. Huge living space to gather all together. Kitchen had everything needed to create great meals for our family. Host had swift and informative communication. Boat dock for son's boat worked out well. Wonderful family get away. Niagra Falls is only a couple hours away!

My husband comes from a family of 15 siblings and spouces. This place is perfect for our annual 60th Birthday Bashes. It accommodates all of us and is very comfortable for all of us. This was our 7th year of renting vacation homes for a 3 day weekend. This was our 3rd stay here at Mary Beth's home out of those 7 years of doing this. It is the only home that we have had repeated stays at.It is a beautiful place. Thank you Mary Beth for sharing your beautiful home with our family.
