We stayed a week here with our dog and had a great time. The location is terrific to the Chautauqua Institution as well as Mayville and Bemus Point. It is nicely updated and the kitchen has everything you need to make meals. The fenced in yard was great for our dog. The hosts are very responsive!

Sarah and David were incredible, accommodating hosts! They were very quick to respond to every question we had, and they suggested a lot of different things to do in the area. The house was very clean, and it had everything we needed to make meals easily right at the house. Our kids loved the games they had in the house and the fire pit for making s'mores.The beds were very comfortable, and everyone slept great. We are hoping to come back!

This charming, beautifully renovated and decorated property deserves the top award for "Picture Perfect" vacation getaway! The hosts’ attention to detail is remarkable! The place cannot be matched when it comes to order and cleanliness. Even the photos don’t do it justice. My family is so happy to have found this little gem! The hosts have thought of everything. Chip & Joanna Gaines (HGTV fame) might have met their match. No need to go to Waco, Texas when all the touches of Magnolia Farms are right here in Western NY along the beautiful shores of Lake Chautauqua. We can’t wait to return as guests!

We had an excellent stay at the Valley View Lakehouse over the week of the 4th of July. The house is in a great location in Mayville (especially for the fireworks over the 4th) and is easy walking distance to the lake and town. The fenced in back yard was great for letting our dog out. There is also a small dog park within walking distance, but we never met another dog there. Sarah and Dave (the hosts) were very responsive to any questions we had and went above and beyond expectations. They set up a dog crate for our dog so we didn't have to lug our own around and also left us a gift basket for our stay. The house is well appointed and had everything we needed including various seasonings, cooking oils, etc. We cooked a couple of nights and also used the grill and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was pretty hot the week we were there and the AC units in the house did a good job of keeping us cool. Our primary reason for visiting Mayville was the Chautauqua Institute. For those considering the rental for that purpose, we found it to be a workable arrangement. It's about a 5 minute drive to the Institute, but with parking and walking to the venues, etc., you should plan that it will take you at least 20 - 30 minutes from leaving the house before you are sitting in the Amp or other venue. A hot tip for anyone who is a fan of pies, head over to Westfield and get a pie from Portage Pie. All of their pies are delicious, but you often have to order ahead.

We had a wonderful stay. The home was clean and the location was easily accessible to so many things. Many amenities were provided to make the stay relaxing and low stress. We would recommend this place to friends and hope to come back.

Beautiful home, very clean and well appointed. Lots of nice touches. We were welcomed by a beautiful basket with yummy treats and an anniversary card. Our two dachshunds loved the fenced in back yard. Nice view of the lake from the deck and backyard. Nice park and ice cream just a short walk away. Lovely steamboat ride. Loved our stay! Next time will stay longer.

David and Sarah provided a wonderful place to rest and recharge, The house was immaculate and provided everything we needed. Our dog truly loved the fenced in yard as well as the black squirrel living in the tree out back! They were always available for any questions and were even kind enough to warn of us some stormy weather approaching. We truly had a wonderful time!

We made our reservation a year prior to our stay to enjoy the eclipse totality. We felt that Dave and Sarah truly wanted us to enjoy our experience. A welcome package included a huge eclipse cookie and viewing glasses. While it’s early in the season, they placed the deck furniture for our comfort to watch the eclipse. They checked in to make sure that all was okay. They have been very thoughtful with amenities. Very generous. Super clean! Very nice, comfortable space. We were more than pleased!
