The space
Come inside Gracewood to experience total relaxation in this spacious estate home! Lovingly renovated in 2022, this 1800s house is full of character, charm and countless whimsical features. Enjoy the fully stocked kitchen, complete with plentiful accommodations for both cooks and their guests to chat over morning coffee or cocktails at night. Enter the formal dining room with seating for 16, then pass through the wood-paneled main hallway to the cozy living room complete with tv, a dedicated work space and piano. The main stairway leads to the upper alcove, complete with a futon and a comfy chair to read a book while you view the pines on the back hillside. The three spacious bedrooms include a king, four queens, bunkbed and sleeper sofa and tv's. You’ll also find two full bathrooms on this level. Head over to the second floor loft which features four twin trundle beds and a TV with gaming system. Pass the arched window looking out to the carriage house and your path will take you down the back stairs and find yourself again in the family-friendly kitchen.
Guest access
Gracewood is set back 1/4 mile from the road up a long drive, nestled among towering pines, oaks and maples with plenty of room for parking your toys. The main house includes three porches, all of which are attached and a fire pit on the back lawn. The property is located on six acres which you're free to roam, and includes a pond, carriage house, potter's kiln and barn (although these buildings are off-limits to guests). The house has a view of a large meadow with vistas in every direction. You can enjoy views of the sunset and sunrise from the porches, and you'll see plenty of flora and fauna from the big bay window in the kitchen. We often watch deer in the front yard while we eat dinner in the kitchen.
Other things to note
We lovingly restored this house in 2022, and named it Gracewood after our mothers. They taught us the value of gathering, and we're excited to share this wonderful old house with our family, friends and new guests. We hope you'll enjoy this place as much as we do, and make new memories here with your own families and friends. While the interior of the home is nearly fully updated, the grounds and other buildings will remain a work in progress for some time, as we continue to improve the property and restore the natural beauty of this amazing place.

We've been doing a girls weekend for 15 years now and the stay here was one of the best. We use VRBO to book different houses in different areas and we loved this house in Chautauqua. House had a ton of room. Plenty of sleeping space for our group. We loved the kitchen - very cozy and had everything we needed. Firepit was great. Lots of nice long walks on the property throughout our three day stay. Restaurants and Spa less than 10 minutes away. Great time and we will be back.

We spent a few days at Gracewood and loved everything about it! Mark and Rebecca were wonderful to communicate with and so accomodating. The home was so well stocked - there wasn't anything we needed that wasn't at our fingertips. We cooked at home two of the four nights we were there and the kitchen had everything we needed. The coffee/tea bar was great - a little bit of everything!
The home itself is redone beautifully. We spent a lot of time reading and walking the grounds with our dog. We would definitely stay here again - it would be perfect for a large family gathering but was perfectly cozy for the two of us. We appreciated the quiet but yet it was so close to Chautauqua Institution, (which is beautiful to walk through in the winter months) restaurants, and our favorite brewery - Big Inlet.
Thank you, Rebecca and Mark!

Annual family ski trip in January. We have always stayed at Peek N Peak in the past but wanted to try something different. The house is beautiful and located close enough that we decided to try it. We want to go back this Summer!

Gracewood has been beautifully renovated while still retaining the charm of the original structure. Our party consisted of five adults, six children and one pooch. There was ample space to play and relax both inside and out. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you may need. We spent a good portion of our time baking and were pleasantly surprised to find everything we may need.
Mark was an excellent host and maintained speedy response times throughout our stay. We will definitely book again!
