About this property

Relaxing Elevated Lake House Retreat

Little Whit is perfect for couples or small families looking for a relaxing lake experience close to Chautauqua Institute.

Our property has a large elevated porch to enjoy the views of Chautauqua Lake! The interior is open-styled with hardwood floors, a full kitchen and calm decor.
Primary bedroom with a king size bed, second bedroom with a king size trundle bed arrangement (two twins that can be set up as a king or used as two disconnected twins) and a convertible living room/third bedroom with a queen size sofa bed.

You'll be steps to the lake with the floating dock just 20 yards from the porch stairs where you can dock your boat, fish, or swim. (Dock is available seasonal and removed during the winter).

Enjoy the area's many sites just a short drive away, such as the Chautauqua Institute, Panama Rocks, the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, Beamus Point, and more! After a full day out on the water or exploring the area you can enjoy the spacious elevated deck to make dinner on the grill and stay above it all!

Bring your boat and tie up at our dock!

Fly fishing at Chautauqua creek is only a 15 minute drive with numerous trout fishing access sites along the way for a varied and beautiful day of fishing!

The house is on a private drive.

Plan ahead for ice fishing or snowmobiling on the frozen lake in the winter!

We hope to provide you with a refreshing stay!
