Large home and yard on Lake Chautauqua

This is a beautiful home. Although we couldn't use the large front porch (which we knew) the house still provided a lot of space for our group. The hosts were responsive to all of my questions. We enjoyed being on the lake even though it was too early in the season to do things on the water. We had some amazing sunsets. And we enjoyed using the fire pit. All of the bedrooms were upstairs and had a view of the lake. The kitchen is large and well equipped with everything we needed to cook and eat meals. There are a LOT of spices available in the house. Checkout was easy and we appreciated not having a large list of things to do at checkout. A couple notes - there are some tricks to both locking and unlocking the door. The hosts provided that information when I asked for it although it would be better if they provided that as part of the check in instructions. The house had toilet paper and dishwashing liquid but didn't have paper towels, trash bags or dishwasher detergent. We left some behind but those items may or may not be there depending on what the previous guests leave behind.

Continuously impressed

This is the 2nd year that we had an Autumn vacation at this house. Upon arrival we did have a small mistake with something (our fault), and the owner reached out immediately with instructions, and was very friendly about the entire thing. I always hate to annoy the owners with questions when renting a home. But I did have to reach out twice with questions and they got back to me immediately and everything worked out so perfectly. (I asked if they had a roku password so i can enter my login info to watch the bills game. They were nice enough to send that. The other question was regarding trying to lock the door near the outside dining table). Instructions were helpful and clear. The home is perfect for our annual book club trip! Theres games and plenty of seating. Plenty of beds and bathrooms. Everything is always spotless clean which i appreciate. Theres space in the cabinets to put our items and snacks. We bring a golf cart to go back/forth to firepit. Its gorgeous here. We will be back for sure! And we love the kitchen here!

Bat found residing in eave of porch and high algae blooms in lake.

All of the previous reviews of this property are completely accurate. The house is beautiful, the porch and the views were amazing. The house was very well appointed with almost anything you needed. Our first 3 days/nights were wonderful until the 3rd night when we were awaken by a bat flying around in the middle bedroom upstairs. We notified the property manager of the problem and she found out from the owner that there was an attic access in that bedroom. The bat removal company couldn't come out for 3 days so the only solution was to go into the room to remove the bat. When we did this the bat was gone and obviously exited the same way it got in. The health dept recommended that the two sleeping in that bedroom get the rabies vaccines because they had reports of bat with rabies in the area. After our stay, I called the owner to find out more detail from the bat removal company to ease our minds that our children weren't exposed and he said they didn't need to come because he's never had a problem before. I asked if he checked the attic and he said no, it wasn't necessary. The owner was defensive and in my opinion did not handle the situation properly for someone who is renting their home. If this were my home I would want to make certain I didn't have a bat infestation. We did find one residing in the eave of the front porch that night. I wouldn't recommend staying at this property with out confirmation that this situation was handled properly by a professional.
