About this property

Picturesque Cabin set on 150-acre farm, 5-minute drive to Chautauqua Institute

Enjoy this picturesque and cozy cabin set on a 150-acre farm, truly idyllic in all four seasons. Sit on the porch and take in the beautiful views of rolling hills and catch a glimpse of the horses and cattle roaming the farm. The cabin includes one bedroom with a king bed and a spacious loft with four twin beds.
The cabin feels secluded while still being in close proximity to local attractions. The cabin is less than five minutes to Chautauqua Institute and Chautauqua Lake, 25 minutes to Peek’n Peak Ski Resort and one hour to Holiday Valley Ski Resort. We are in easy driving distance to Erie, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and Cleveland.

This is a destination for all seasons. In the winter, enjoy the local ski resorts, ice-fishing on Chautauqua Lake, or stay cozy in the cabin which has a great sledding hill! Summer offers endless activities on Chautauqua Lake including boating, sailing, fishing, and several local beaches. Golf, tennis, shopping, restaurants, breweries, and wineries surround the area. The cabin includes a local guide to all our favorites! We look forward to hosting you and hope you enjoy your stay!

Chautauqua Cabin

We loved our stay! Awesome location for seeing everything the area has to offer. We had a small issue getting in the cabin but it was handled as quickly as possible. Cabin was spotless and the views are wonderful. Will stay again if in the area for sure.

Perfect Hilltop Cabin- Serene, Beautifil and Relaxing

My husband and I stayed for our 5 year anniversary on Columbus Day weekend Friday-Monday. It was the perfect amount of time. This place was MORE than it seemed on the site. Magical, simple and serene. I always love to be by water but looking out onto the 150 acres, hearing the birds and waking up on the front porch was everything. No lakeside needed. You know when a place is so great you want to keep it all to yourself? Well, I certainly fought myself to list all these things. :) A few things • At night, we’d lay in the grass with binoculars and watch the deer in the field • In the morning, sometimes we’d get a peak at the wild turkeys coming up to the house • We would sit on the front porch in THESE GREAT CHAIRS (Tim- where can we buy the tall chairs and tables?!) and just look over the field on a beautiful hill • As I said, the house sits on this gorgeous hill. The fall leaves were perfect. • We walked down to the creek. It should be called a private beach / river • There are horses on the property. Beautiful and friendly • There’s a Wegmans 25 minutes away • There’s Ellicottville Brewery by the water and 15 minutes away. It was so good we went twice for food. • Amazing ice cream 25 minutes away •Lastly, you MUST GO TO THE ROCK PARK. It sounded boring to me at first but my husband insisted. And I’m glad. It was one of the highlights. It’s like Lord of the Rings meets Game of Thrones meets Avatar. Such a magical place. Trust us on this. We’ve stayed at at least 20 vacation rentals- local and international. I only say that (not to sound haughty) but to say this in our top two or three. It really was such a good choice in the end. Lastly, my favorite part about this all is that it was simple. You had what you needed, nothing was complicated. We are coming back. And next time, hopefully with a baby! ❤️ Thanks, Tim. - Meg and Will Head PS- if you have sell the place, or any part of this property... please call us. We are swooning. :)

Lovely stay in a quaint, picturesque cabin

The cabin was really lovely, open, clean, and well-suited to the needs of my group of friends on a long weekend away. It was especially nice to take advantage of the large porch and the beautiful view of the farm land. Tim made the stay very easy and low maintenance, and he offered recommendations for entertainment around town. There's nothing I would have wanted to change!

Beautiful cabin with a beautiful view

We just spent the weekend in this cabin and loved the location, the cabin and the view. Easily accessible from Route 86 and very close to the western side of the lake. The cabin was clean and nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. We only stayed for two nights so didn't use many of the kitchen supplies but it is fully stocked with microwave, coffee pot, toaster,... Loved sitting on the porch overlooking the farm-land and valley. Affordable Italian restaurant called Andriaccios only about a mile away so taht was a good choice for us. Loved the stay hope to be able to visit again next year.

Quaint cabin in the country

The cabin was all we expected it to be and more. Tim was very welcoming and gave us a few tips on what to see and where to dine. Never grew tired of the peaceful setting and quiet evenings. The large kitchen had all the amenities of home. Will definitely go back, hopefully during the fall months.

Best Vacation Rental EVER!

We are a family of 4 and very active. I was a bit hesitant renting this "1 bedroom" cabin but I wanted something different for our annual Chautauqua visit. Needless to say, I was extremely impressed. First, the view is outstanding. Maybe one of the best when you can sit on the porch and view the rolling hills, farm and all that nature has to offer. Second, the cabin itself is VERY roomy and EASILY sleeps 6 people. Third, the cabin has everything from full size appliances to great seating areas and a nice big bathroom. Fourth, the cabin is CLEAN. I mean, it is immaculate. The floors, the carpeting, the counters and the bathroom -- very clean. The owners have a farm at the bottom of the hill and at the end of the walking path is a beautiful creek. We fed horses, picked wild flowers and skipped rocks. I love Chautauqua and look forward to this every year. This year, however, I found myself more-and-more just enjoying the cabin. It was an awesome vacation. My only regret is that I do not know the dates for next year's Chautauqua visit. If I did, I would have booked this property already!

Picture perfect and immaculate cabin!

The views out the front porch were absolutely breath taking; the night skies and we even caught a fireworks show over the trees. We loved have a fire going, for s’mores, using our smoker and warmth! The interior of the cabin was immaculate and had everything we needed!

Wonderful place to call home for a long weekend.

Despite the dreary and very wet weather we enjoyed our weekend very much at this cozy and well appointed cabin not far from Lake Chautauqua. The owner, Tim was kind enough to bring us some nice and dry tinder to get the outdoor fire going.

Wonderful stay at cozy cabin!

We had a wonderful stay at Tim‘s cabin. The cabin is spacious, clean and comfortable, with rustic decor and everything you need. The kids enjoyed exploring the 150 acres, feeding the horses, and slept well at night! Many great things to explore nearby, including the Chautauqua institution, the reverie creamery as well as many natural sites. Tim was super helpful and nice, and brought up Dry wood so the kids could toast marshmallows. We will definitely return. An excellent stay, and definitely recommend it. Thank you Tim!

Idyllic cabin with beautiful farm view

We greatly enjoyed retreating to this cozy, well equipped, and well decorated cabin over our holiday. The owner was kind and welcoming. We enjoyed coffee on the front porch watching the beautiful sunrises over idyllic farm landscape. Our kids had ample space to explore, and they enjoyed seeing the deer abound in the late evenings. We were close to shops and restaurants in perfect Mayville, too. We will be back. :)

BETTER THAN A HOTEL!

This is a beautiful, cozy cabin with an amazing view! The cabin is very clean and nicely decorated. The owner was more than helpful by providing ideas on places to visit, eat and hike. He even provided plenty of firewood for bonfires on those chilly nights. We would most definitely stay here the next we are in the area. We highly recommend this cabin!

Relaxing getaway

We stayed at the cabin this weekend and we loved it! It was clean and inviting, just as the pictures showed. Tim was there to greet us and gave us some recommendations, but gave us total privacy. The views were beautiful and the cabin had everything we needed. The area is fun with lots to do.. We will be back.
