Beautiful Home on the Lake

My husband and I had an incredible stay at this lakefront cottage in Chautauqua! The home itself was both beautifully updated and decorated, that made the stay feel truly special! The highlight without a doubt, was the spectacular view of the lake. We spent a lot of our time on the outside deck - it was the perfect, relaxing spot to soak in the scenery and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Plus, the location was ideal, offering a quiet lakeside retreat while still being conveniently close to Bemus Point for dining and activities. Also, the host was extremely responsive and friendly!
Response from VrboOwner on 11 August 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful five-star review! We’re thrilled to hear Jamie that you and your husband had such an incredible stay at Squirrel’s Cottage. It makes us especially happy to know you enjoyed the lake views and spent time relaxing on the deck — there really is something magical about sitting by the water and simply taking it all in. We’re also so glad you loved the updates and décor and found the location to be the perfect balance of peaceful and convenient. Being just a short trip from Bemus Point makes it easy to enjoy all the area has to offer while still coming home to a quiet lakeside retreat. Thank you as well for your kind words about us! We truly want our guests to feel welcomed, comfortable, and cared for throughout their stay. We would absolutely love to welcome you both back to Squirrel’s Cottage on Chautauqua Lake anytime! -Thank you so much

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.
Response from VrboOwner on 11 July 2024
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."

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.
Response from VrboOwner on 15 October 2025
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.

Relaxing, fun family retreat!

We had the most wonderful week away at this beautiful cottage. Great location, very clean, comfortable and cozy beds and all the kitchen amenities you could need. We loved watching the sunrise (and the ducks, herons, and loons!) from bed in the morning and sitting on the covered deck or by the fire pit in the evenings. So much attention to detail was done with the decor and it truly felt like a home away from home. The health graciously list a bunch of things to do in the area which we enjoyed, but it was also just as nice to stay at the cottage and do nothing at all. Could not recommend this place. We will definitely book again!
Response from VrboOwner on 11 August 2026
Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review — and our apologies for the very late response! Somehow, we missed your wonderful words when you originally posted them two years ago, but we’re so grateful to have found them now. We absolutely loved hearing about your family’s stay at Squirrel’s Cottage. Watching the sunrise from bed while enjoying the ducks, herons, and loons sounds like the perfect Chautauqua Lake morning! And we’re so happy you enjoyed the covered deck, fire pit, cozy beds, and all the little details we’ve put into making the cottage feel like a true home away from home. One of our favorite things about Squirrel’s Cottage is that you can fill your days with everything the Chautauqua Lake area has to offer — or simply stay put, relax, and enjoy the lake. We’re so glad you experienced both! Thank you for recommending us and for saying you’ll book again. We would absolutely love to welcome your family back!

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.
