About this property

Bemus Point lakefront family home with deck, dock, boat slip, sunroom with view

WE REQUIRE A SATURDAY - TO - SATURDAY, 7-NIGHT STAY DURING THE PEAK SUMMER SEASON (MID-JUNE THROUGH MID-SEPTEMBER)!

Enjoy our great lakehouse for waterfront patio BBQs, lawn games, socializing and entertaining, plus the beautiful panoramic view of Chautauqua Lake from the all-windows main sun room/living area, plus the convenience of a short walk or bike ride to the heart of Bemus Point and all its charm!

Our cottage has 5 bedrooms (one with bunk beds for the kids, one with a queen bed, one with a double bed, one with a queen and 2 sets of twin bunks, and a master with a king). Additionally, the sun room has a pull-out twin bed, and there's also a twin daybed with twin trundle in the game bungalow (game bungalow has A/C for summer use, but no heat). We have 4 full bathrooms - one with a stand-up shower and 3 with a bathtub/shower. Central heat and central air conditioning provide year-round comfort.

The fully-stocked open kitchen/dining area offers all of the cooking and food prep equipment and space you would need. Our two indoor dining tables seat up-to 14. The dock offers easy access to fishing and swimming, and an open boat slip with pilings for docking your boat. There is plenty of outdoor furniture, including an outdoor dining table with umbrella, adirondack deck chairs, a full hammock, and a single swing hammock. The summer game bungalow is one of our renters’ favorites – a place to escape to play foosball, darts, or one of the many board games stocked in the cottage. The game bungalow is a perfect bedroom/retreat for pre-teens or teens during their vacation. We keep the house stocked with lawn games and Schwinn cruiser bikes for our renters to use also.

A small, stackable washer-dryer is available. There is off-street parking for up-to 4 cars, plus street-side overflow parking 1 block away.

1/8 mile from the cottage is Bridgeview -- a mini-mart/gas station/liquor-n-beer shop/small deli -- which provides absolute convenience.

Bemus Point and Chautauqua Lake offer unlimited all-year-round vacation activities, attractions, fun and natural beauty for everyone. In the village of Bemus Point you’ll find restaurants, live music venues, boutique gift shops and every land and water recreation you can imagine. The See Zurh House offers family-friendly casual fare; The Fish offers sunset views and great casual and formal dining; Capolo’s pizza shop has delivery service to the cottage, and the Bemus Point Inn is great for breakfast. The best place to enjoy a casual cocktail is from one of the famous colorful rocking chairs on the front porch of the historic Lenhart Hotel – order a “Lenhart Rocker” and watch the sunset. Ellicottville Brewery and the Bemus Point Tap House are great places to enjoy craft beers and pub food. Live music can be enjoyed from several of the venues noted above, or at The Village Casino, home of world-famous chicken wings. These are just a few of many great options in the area.

Enjoy a 9-hole round of golf at Bemus Point Golf Club, access to public tennis courts, or take a bike ride along Lakeside Drive to Long Point State Park. Grab a picnic lunch or an ice cream treat from the Bemus Point Market before you go. When you return spend some time browsing through the many unique shops within the village including The Lakeside Shoppe, Skillman's, and Imagine. Take the kids to the playground at the Village Park or to the public beach.

If you’re itching to get out on the water, power boats, pontoons, paddle boards and jet skis can be rented from several local vendors. In addition, some famous local attractions include the world-renowned Victorian lakeside community of Chautauqua Institution which offers arts and education programming and a variety of cultural classes and events all summer. Historic Midway Park is the 15th oldest, continually operating amusement park in the nation and is perfectly geared for the 5-10 year-old crowd. History and nature enthusiasts will enjoy visiting the Roger Tory Peterson Institute, The Jamestown Audubon Center, The Fenton Museum, The Lucille Ball - Desi Arnaz Center, and the National Comedy Center are all located 20-minutes away in Jamestown, NY...Home of 'Lucy.' Don’t miss enjoying a craft beer at Southern Tier Brewery while you are in the area either.

A unique and rare feature of our cottage is that it offers central heat and central air conditioning for comfortably enjoying all seasons at the lake. Spring and fall offer great hunting and hiking opportunities for outdoorsy types, and magnificent views of the lake and leaves! Winter offers ice fishing, sledding, access to thousands of miles of snowmobile trails, and area skiing at Holiday Valley or Peek n' Peak.

We do not allow pets or smoking - WE DO NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE. We promise a very clean environment, and conveniently provide linens and towels for our visitors’ use.

Friends Weekend

Nine friends, of 30+ years, had a wonderful weekend together. This home is perfect for a large gathering. So much space, clean and everything you could need. There is a beautiful view over the lake to watch the sunrise, lots of games and puzzles and close to entertainment. We would recommend a stay here any time of the year.

Thankful!

Our family of 14 spent a wonderful Thanksgiving at this house. This house fit us perfectly, from the sleeping arrangements, to turkey dinner, to all of us gathered together in the living room to watch sports and Hallmark Christmas movies! This house was more spacious than the pictures depict. We also had game nights and walked to town to check out the shops. The owner was quick to respond to questions. Fantastic place!

Great home for a group get away. Nice to find a place that actually seats the entire group at dining table and in living area (we were a group of 8). Beautiful location with great views. Also, had everything you need for a getaway from home, no need to bring anything other than food, clothing, fishing gear and camera.

Amazing Stay!

This property and location had everything we could have ever wanted or needed. The house was spacous and well maintained. This was by far the best house we have stayed in at Chautauqua Lake. My son ( age 6) loved fishing off the dock and fished sun up to sun down. He caught so much fish this trip he feed us all week. There was ample parking for the trailers and trucks. The location to Bemus was perfect for the park, resturants, and ice cream. We made soo many memories here my family is begging to return this fall.

Great stay at the lake for our family!!

Our family absolutely loved this house and the owner was VERY accommodating! Would highly recommend to anyone planning a getaway to Chautauqua Lake! Our family of 12 felt right at home and had more than enough room. Plenty of activities to do for some family members that prefer not to fish and was centrally located to all of the hot spots that my family fishes regularly. Looking to make an annual tradition to this property!!! Overall 10 out of 10 rating!

Great house for a getaway!

My friends and I did a fall girls' weekend getaway and this was the perfect place! There were 5 of us and we were able to have a bedroom to ourselves -- plenty of room for additional guests to share rooms however. We were really impressed with the kitchen and how well-stocked it was. We brought pre-made meals that only needed to be reheated but we definitely could have cooked there -- it really has everything you need! The home was clean and well-organized. It sits about 20 steps from the water so the scenery was beautiful from sunrise to sunset. I only had 2 questions for the owner and she replied very quickly with thorough answers. I would 100% book a return stay, it was an excellent experience!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa

Host profile image
I grew up in Bemus Point, enjoying all that lake living has to offer including swimming, waterskiing, ice cream cones, bike rides, sunsets, and enjoying a drink and the breeze while splashing my toes in the water from the end of a dock. I also loved everything Western New York lends to a snow-lover who enjoys snowskiing, snowmobiling, sledding, snowball fights, and that fabulous mug of hot chocolate that comes at the end of a Chautauqua winter day. My dream was to someday own a cottage on Chautauqua Lake to allow me the pleasure of spending quality time with my extended local family, and to share the beauty of this place with others. That started with my husband, Matt. On his first visit to Chautauqua County, he immediately fell in love with the summertime vibe and Bemus Point’s charm. We were married there in summer 2013!

Together we worked to fulfill our dream to own a piece of lakefront paradise :). Now, whenever we need to escape our hectic lives in Baltimore, MD and slow down to enjoy life, we head straight for the cottage. We know you’ll enjoy our lakehouse as much as we do, and would be honored to share it with you!!!

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location - there's just nothing like being on the lakefront and being able to walk, bike ride, or boat to Bemus Point!
