The Lakefront Lodge

A 5,500 sq ft log home
on Chautauqua Lake

Two-story living room, two full kitchens, sleeps sixteen. Private dock, mature trees, and three minutes from the Chautauqua Institution.

The Property

Tahoe-chic on Chautauqua

A thoughtfully curated lake retreat for guests who appreciate comfort, design, and setting. The lodge sits on 100 feet of private waterfront with 150 feet of dock — open to the sunrise, sheltered by mature trees, and designed for the way families actually use a lake house: together, then apart, then together again.

Two fully equipped kitchens and dining areas, one on each level, make it especially well-suited for multi-family stays. The main level seats twelve at the table; the lower level seats ten. Vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and warm natural materials throughout.

Designed for gathering

One home, two kitchens

A unique feature of the lodge is its two fully equipped kitchens and dining areas — one on each level. The arrangement lets larger groups and multiple families gather, dine, and spread out without anyone feeling on top of each other.

Bedrooms are intentionally simple and restful, outfitted with hotel-quality linens. Bathrooms are stocked with clean modern finishes and essential toiletries.

100 feet of lakefront

The property opens directly to Chautauqua Lake — 150 feet of dock, a swimming and seating area along the shoreline, and a deck built for slow mornings and longer evenings. Bring your boat. Bring two. There's room for trucks and trailers, and the lake protects this side of the bay from busy summer wakes.

The Setting

The lodge sits between the village of Mayville and the Chautauqua Institution — three minutes in either direction. The Institution's season runs late June through August with lectures, concerts, and lakefront programming. Mayville offers groceries, restaurants, and the steamboat dock.
