Creek Side Cottage with Lake Views, Lake Access, Dock and Secluded Yard

Comfortable three bedroom cottage that is ideal for a family get-away. We have a lakefront parcel and dock to accommodate boaters and easy launching of kayaks! The secluded backyard and abundance of trees is also ideal for fall colors.

Our location is also only 3.5 miles from downtown Jamestown and attractions such as the Lucille Ball museum.

The property consists of 2 homes built in the early 1900s. The back house is where we keep the kayaks, grill, fire pit and other outdoor items. Grill your meals from the back house porch while watching boats enter and exit the southern tip of Lake Chautauqua. The back house is included as part of the regular rental.

In the main house, the 2 primary bedrooms each have a queen bed, and the 3rd bedroom has a twin as well as a twin size trundle bed. All 3 bedrooms are on the second floor. The fold out couch and futon in the living room can accommodate additional guests.

The kitchen is very spacious and has plenty of counter space. And the property itself is fairly private with fencing along 2 sides and the creek bordering the other 2.

Kayak rental is also available.
You can make use of our 6 available kayaks throughout the duration of your stay for a $60 fee, which can be added to the booking.
The lakefront property is basically just across the street and maybe 30 yards from the driveway. This is an ideal spot for fishing, relaxing and viewing sunsets. And if you have a boat we also have a dock available on the lakefront property. The water depth at the dock can go down to about 27" though, so it's best suited for a pontoon or a boat with a lower draft.

Perfect house for a quick getaway
I spent 3 October nights with my family including two kids, age 11 and 14. The leaves were beautiful and it was a very peaceful stay. We ate most meals in the house which had everything we needed in the kitchen. Bedrooms were comfortable. Great access to the lake where we were able to enjoy the northern lights. Cute enclosed porch where I could enjoy my morning coffee or a glass of wine at night. Would definitely stay again.

Nice getaway!
We had a wonderful and restful week at this cottage. Kitchen was well stocked beyond what we could have asked for. Plenty of paper products including tissues which as a nice touch. We enjoyed playing some of the games provided during the evenings and the property owner Erik was quick to respond when we had a question. The beds are a bit worn but we made due. If vacationers have mobility issues the stairs will be challenging to navigate. Thankful for our time away and even our 20 something son enjoyed his few days with us and commented on the amenities.

A beautiful spot
We had a nice stay . Loved the property and especially the boathouse. Had a few issues with neighbors who were working on their cottage — noise — and a few times they blocked the entrance with their cars. This cottage reminded me of a cottage from a bygone era

Stay on the lake
Over a good little house. Not of fan of the accordian doors even on the bathroom (i realize its small but bathroom privacy with one bathroom right off the eating area). Have to admit when i seen the neighbors house as you enter the property i was a little nervous. How ever the actual house was old but charming. Air conditioning situation could be a worry if the one person who has it keeps there door shut and or it on low. Access to lake great. The "creek" is more a swamp and can make the mosquitos a little much! Over all a bargin for the area.

Perfect for family memory making
5 nights with our adults daughters where memories of water fun, board games, barbecue, and sight seeing were had this week at Spring Creek Cottage. We are super flexible and a chill family and had 5 adults staying at the cottage. LOVED the boat house to play games in, the rocking chairs around the campfire were so comfy, the lawn was mowed, towels placed in every bed, kitchen was clean and had everything needed. It is a short walk to the dock and is perfect for bringing along a boat(which we didn't have so we rented rhe kayaks and canoe!). Perfect time spent with our family!

Perfect place for our fishing camp
Erik the owner of the property was just excellent to deal with from start to finish. The house was perfect for us and thankfully it had air conditioning! We were there during the hottest week in June . The place was clean and had everything we needed. The separate boathouse /game room in the back was a bonus too. The dock was perfect for my fishing boat and to do some fishing from . I know the stairs leading to the three upstairs bedrooms are mentioned in other reviews and yes they are something to be mindful of if you are traveling with older folks or others with limited mobility but 2 of us had no issue with them . Thank you again Erik for an awesome experience, I have a feeling we may look you up again.

Great location and amenities
We had a great time on our first trip to Lake Chautauqua. This property came with several kayaks of varying size; kids could fish in the creek or off the dock; great size yard for Cornhole, spike ball, and more. My husband loved the dock for his fishing boat. Lots of extras provided: charcoal and lighter fluid for the grill, games, life jackets, seasonings, foil, plastic baggies, extra toilet paper and paper towels. We didn’t spend much time inside other than to sleep, but the cottage is rustic feeling.

100 year old charm
Cottage was so fun! Loved knowing how old it was! We were 8 people, which was lots for 1bath, but it all went well. Fire pit was a gold star, plus the wood provided. Well equipped kitchen and no shortage of chairs for all of us. Would have liked at least one full length mirror, but no big deal. Had a blast! Thanks, Erik for your hosting and generosity. Erik made things all go well.

Perfect getaway
First, I went with my 2 teenagers. It was such a unique set up with the boathouse and the creek. The house was very clean and had everything available. It’s an older house with a lot of character. The sunroom was perfect for morning coffee and all the birds, bunnies and 2 ducks visiting was an added bonus. The boat house was a great hang out place with a game table, games and a TV. Bonfire pit was perfect as well. The owner communicated well and had a book of area things to do, restaurants and grocery stores. The kayaks were a lot of fun and having a private dock was nice. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you to the host!

Quaint cabin for watching the eclipse
Me and a few friends stayed to watch the eclipse. We loved the location - close enough to town to get essentials but in a quiet neighborhood. We watched the eclipse sunset over the lake and it was so beautiful! We loved watching the birds on the property. Our only qualm was the bathroom didn't have an exhaust fan so it got a little humid

New Years Eve Stay
We came up to the area for one night to celebrate the New Year with family who have a lake house in Greenhurst. Erik was awesome to work with. They even had a bottle of bubbly and some NYE favors for us which was a nice touch. Very clean. My only piece of information to pass on is the steps upstairs will be difficult for older folks or those with mobility issues. It was no problem for us or our kids.

Quick getaway
It was a great stay, unfortunately not long enough!! Went out for 2 days had great communication with the owner, very timely responses. Not many people around but the ones we saw were friendly neighbors. Will certainly stay again, went fishing off the dock with no luck was a little shallow for the time of year. Next time i will have a boat to get out for musky. All and all i would recommend it.
