Great place to be.
The cottage was welcoming, well decorated and very well supplied. We spent a lot of time on the porch watching the lake and bird life. Very relaxing. A large dining room table was great for meals together and playing games. The cottage is not far from Bemus Point where we enjoyed some great meals. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking to relax in a great surroundings.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time at Squirrels Cottage and made the most of the porch views — the lake and bird life really do make it such a peaceful spot to unwind. We love that you gathered around the dining table for meals and games, and that you had the chance to explore Bemus Point as well. Your kind recommendation means so much to us, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime for another relaxing stay on Chautauqua Lake.

Idyllic
Absolutely lovely. Our family fully enjoyed the tranquility. Temperature control requires some attention, but the owners fully explain how to make it work well for visitors. Highly recommend.

Cottage on the lake
Perfect spot for a getaway . Inside is beautifully done and setup for guests. The only detractor was we felt the dock on the property needs some work to make it more stable and usable especially for fishing.

From the owner: "Thank you so much Adam, so glad you enjoyed your stay. After the storm we did have our dock guys come out the next day to adjust the dock piece to make the accommodation from it shifting. We look
forward to hosting you again."

This place was perfect for our girls trip! The views are to die for. Beautifully decorated! The owners thought of everything, kitchen was very accommodating. Close to restaurants and wineries. The only thing was it got very hot upstairs in the bedrooms. They had a fan that sucked up the hot air but it was still extremely hot. We went in April and we had the heat on because it was still cold out so it maybe different in the summer with the air conditioning on.
Would definitely book this place again.
