About this property
Sprawling Historic Inn With Lake Frontage! Fallfest at the Peak!!
Named the Mayflower Lodge, this tranquil, historic home is 3300 square feet of rustic, newly updated country charm. Situated on 1.3 wooded acres that backs up to the snowmobile trail system and featuring a large lakefront parcel directly across the street with a new enclosed deck with railings; it is the perfect setting for families to enjoy the lake and the woods with room to spread out that is truly unique to other lake cottages in the area. An incredible renovation has made this property even more incredible. Beautiful wood cabinets and granite countertops are among a few of the beautiful new updates. Shiplap and new wood floors throughout the entire first floor. In addition, a beautiful new dining area with new windows as well as a new downstairs bedroom will replace the small bedroom upstairs. We are adding a third full bath on the second floor will include a second washer and dryer. We also now have an island in the kitchen and a dishwasher, as well as a coffee bar with a Keurig.
The home sleeps 10 people comfortably. There is a convenient downstairs bedroom with a Tufts and Needle mattress. There are 2 large bedrooms upstairs with adjoining sitting rooms that each have a king beds and room for aerobeds that could turn each of these rooms into a family suite. These rooms have been recently updated with hardwood floors. There is a quaint deck off one of the masters to enjoy your coffee on with a lake view. In addition to these beautiful master suites, there is also a bedroom with a full bed, and a bunkroom that can house up to 7 additional guests!! Perfect for the little ones!
There is an expansive living room featuring a stone fireplace, a large sun room with a lake view, a formal dining area, a morning room off the kitchen with a new three sided gas stove. Furniture was all updated and replaced in July 2021 as well as new wood floors and windows. The kitchen has an eat-in island, and plenty of room to make meals on site. We have a wine/coffee station with a new wine refrigerator; there are three full bathrooms; however 4 out of the five bedrooms have their own sinks with hot and cold water. These are convenient for washing faces and brushing teeth.
Ample lake access for your water toys and swimming enjoyment are available. There is great fishing off the docks. A back deck, large firepit, solo stove and incredible covered patio have a barbeque grill and tranquil lake views.
The home is stocked with games, movies and puzzles and has Netflix/Hulu fire stick and wi-fi internet access.
This area offers much to do in all seasons, including: restaurants, Peak-n-Peek Resort and Spa only 4 miles away, antiquing, water sports, fishing, casinos , and Chatauqua Institute ( about 20 minutes away ), as well as wineries. Skiers, golfers, hunters, and snowmobilers will find this getaway full of charm that you won't find in any condo. Both the wood burning fireplace and the gas fireplace are a treat on a cold winter day.
All new windows throughout the house, especially the front sunroom add many areas from which to view beautiful Findley Lake!!
In 2024 a second gravel driveway was added for convenient parking ! In 2024 split air conditioning units were put in all 5 bedrooms! Great addition to this fabulous property!

Excellent spot for a family Thanksgiving weekend. The house is spacious and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed except a large mixing bowl. The bedrooms had good beds, but some window dressings would be nice since some lights are on outdoors all night. The communication with the owner was great, and while it snowed pretty heavily on us, the driveway was ploughed in a timely manner. Pet friendly was important to us, and it was.
Such a great property, it was perfect for our large group looking to get away and ski for the weekend. Would absolutely recommend this property, I’d be very likely to book again.

Mayflower Inn is a beautiful, well-appointed century home, and Virginia is a very responsive, helpful host. The photos of the house really do not do it justice. It was just perfect for a multi-generational family gathering, plus our dogs!! We hope to go back next year!
We had a great time, The house was clean and big enough to accommodate our large family, The floors upstairs were a little creaky but not a big deal.Virginia was very helpful
Wonderful stay at a beautiful home ! Host had everything you could possibly need provided for us . Very accommodating and informative also ! Cannot wait to return to this awesome vacation home. Everyone agreed this was a gem and great find ! Loved every minute of our visit! Virginia made us feel like it was our home away from home!

Thanks so much for the kind words. I am glad you enjoyed Findley Lake. I hope you return in the future!
We enjoyed our stay. We stayed for a family gathering and there was plenty of room for everyone. The property had great views and access to the lake. We would stay here again.
This is our 3rd stay at the Mayflower Lodge, once in the summer to enjoy the lake, and twice in the winter to ski and it never disappoints! The owners are very nice to work with and the house is beautiful, comfortable and clean!

Thanks Allen!
So glad you rebooked. Hopefully by next year, we will have some improvements! We are hopefully having a new deck down by the lake put on in the spring!

We stayed 4 days at this picturesque property. It was even better in person than what the pictures portrayed. The entire experience was exceptional at every level from great communication to Pristinely clean home and location. We decided to rent a boat and that was the icing on the cake. We would love to come back.
Our family very-much enjoyed our recent stay at the Mayflower Lodge on Findley Lake. The property was very clean, kitchen appliances/cooking were wonderful, and the dock/water sports/views outstanding. Very dog and kid-friendly with many games/activities. Can’t wait to come back!
This old house is beautifully updated and maintained and perfect for an extended family stay. It was fully stocked and the communication with the owner was great before and during the trip. Thanks for sharing this lakeside home!
This was a great place for our family trip. Plenty of room for everyone. Their were 8 of us and a dog. Everyone had a nice time. The area is beautiful and close to several sites. Would recommend this location to others.

This house was perfect for 2 families, 8 people. There was lots of room to spread out and do our own things or come together and play games. Virginia was so kind and accommodating.
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at the Mayflower and it never disappoints. Virginia is amazing to work with and very accommodating. The house and amenities are beautiful. We will definitely stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Virginia Scott
My husband, Don and I live in Northeast Ohio. We were looking for a vacation/rental property close to home. When my son found The Mayflower Lodge, we fell in love with it. The town is lovely, people are friendly. It has that small town " Mayberry" feel. When you sit near the lake and take a deep breath, you will realize why Findley Lake is a special place. We love knowing other families are enjoying our little slice of paradise!!
Why they chose this property
This area is a place where our family, and hopefully yours can gather to enjoy the outdoors, the sunsets, and the sights that this area has to offer. We wanted this for our 6 children and 7 grandchildren to give them a place to gather and enjoy each other. It has a feel like no other. Every single person we have met at Findley Lake is invested in the town and it's future. It is an incredible family place!
What makes this property unique
Views from the house are spectacular Shopping has that small town feel People are wonderful Large enough for large family gatherings Fireplaces are unique The house has incredible character Beautiful enclosed lakefront deck built in April 2019! Remodel in 2021 Split air units in all bedrooms Second gravel driveway for cars
