The location of the cottage was great!

We had concerns about the very steep stairs to the upper bedrooms. Feel the dock and refrigerator need work. We loved the location. Very little seaweed this year so we enjoyed fishing and Kayaking.

Susan, I am glad that you enjoyed your visit to Maple Bay Getaway! Regarding the stairs, there is unfortunately nothing that can be done to the design I have tried to figure out a way to modify them but nothing will work because of the available space. The 2nd floor was added to the house many years prior to me purchasing it. As far as the dock, I will have that checked right away. I don't want to jeopardize anyone's safety. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Can you contact me with details about your concerns regarding the refrigerator, please? I am not aware of any issues. Thank you for your feedback! I want Maple Bay Getaway to be the best experience for you and all future guests!

Charles, thank you for your review. I am aware of your concerns. The Chautauqua Lake Association works very hard to maintain conditions on the lake. Mid to late summers can be a challenge during hot and dry years as we are currently experiencing. I contribute to their dedication to make the lake the best it can be for visitors and residents. I hope that the rest of the experience was great. If you have additional comments, you can correspond with me directly at Rick@maplebaygetaway.com I hope that you will visit Maple Bay Getaway again!

Hidden gem with glorious views

Want to wake up to a pink sky that evolves into orange and red sunrise over the lake? The two upstairs bedrooms overlook the horizon with lake views. It's incredible. The cottage is better than pictured. The putdoor space is great and the bonfire pit was wonderful. The location is perfect to venture into Bemus Point or Chautauqua. Kitchen is well-stocked and there were plenty of fans in every room. Temperature was very comfortable. Had a wonderful week here and will return.

Good access to lake, poor upkeep on accommodations

Loved the location and access to lake. House in poor repair. Not clean, water damaged floor, not good for kids who crawl, decking needs replaced, windows need repaired, needs dehumidified, dock needs leveled, no screen for basketball hoop has ever been seen by neighbors. Glad it was only a 4 night stay. Good thing was the view and fishing.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 June 2023
Nancy, Thank you for your response. Several items you mentioned have been already addressed so I thank you for the information. It is the beginning of the season and the previous tenants had not brought any of those items to my attention. The decking has been repaired, the window cranks have been replaced and the dock has been leveled. I spoke to the housekeeper and shared your comment. You mentioned the screen for the basketball hoop. That is a comment that was accidentally left in our information to the tenant but there has not been one for many years. It originally came from a concern from a former neighbor. I do feel badly about your experience because I have owned Maple Bay Get-a-Way since 1994 - nearly 30 years. I pride myself in making every guest's stay perfect. If you ever decide to return, I will be happy to give you a $100 credit toward your next stay. I sincerely want everyone to be happy and be able to go home with great memories for their family. Rick Klimek Owner

Absolutely Fantastic Views

We have started scouting the areas in the finger lakes and surrounding lakes for near future retirement plans and by far Chautauqua is our favorite. This beautiful cozy home, its view, the owner, the area activities and the overall people brought us to that opinion. The special touch was an exceptionally wonderful surprise. Thank you! We did take the time to put together the puzzle and just for your information all the pieces are there. Thank you for making out stay in Chautauqua absolutely fantastic.

Maple Bay Getaway

We stayed here for a family vacation for 1 week. The views were fantastic and the neighborhood is quiet. We have 3 young kids and unfortunately the lake was pretty dirty with algae and seaweed so the kids did not get to swim very much. The house is at a good location but it is in need of repairs. It was not very clean when we arrived and it is very outdated. A lot of screens had holes in them (windows & doors). There is a keurig for coffee but bring your own pods. The vacuum was mediocre at best. The washer/dryer was a nice feature. The bathrooms had a definite sewage smell. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and made the most of our vacation.

Jennifer, I am so sorry that your stay was not up to your expectations. I will definitely take appropriate action to make sure that these items are addressed for all future visitors. Regarding the lake, I know that the Chautauqua Lake Association works very hard to keep up with the condition. They have a challenge because of the EPA regulations limit the methods that they can use. I am in frequent contact with them and I will pass along your experience. I hope that you will consider another visit. I would like to offer a $100 credit for a future stay. I want you to know that your comments mean a lot and I appreciate that you took the time to alert me of these things. I want Maple Bay Getaway to be a perfect place to make memories. Rick Klimek

Great place, bad neighbors

The house is great, however, the neighbor is angry that this place is a rental. Came over screaming and being very aggressive for playing basketball at 8:30pm on Memorial Day weekend. He made our mini vacation feel like we were walking on coals. We are a couple in our late 40’s. If you like to stay up past 8pm, this place is not for you. The neighbor also lied to the homeowner about us lighting fireworks at 4am. We didn’t have any fireworks and we’re asleep every night by 11.

Great house with beautiful view

This was a great lakehouse getaway with a responsive host. The only thing that should be more clear in the description is that there are really steep stairs to get to the upstairs bedroom. We were able to navigate them, but those with more limited mobility would not be able to.

Birthday weekend getaway

Perfect location right on the water with a dock that had lots of fish bass, crappy, sun and gar. And a lot more. Only thing that was negative is the stairs going upstairs. Very very steep and almost like a ladder. If you are older you are going to have issues going up and down. Bedroom on the bottom floor has twin beds. Master is on top floor and another smaller bedroom with a queen. Beautiful views from the beds looking out over the lake. Overall the house is quaint and well loved.
