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!

Just as advertised, the Lake Cottage was a great place for our dog -- a Westie/Brussels Mix, weighing 23 pounds. He loved roaming around in the fully fenced back yard. And when his sniffari was complete, basking in the sunshine was just as good. Granted, a very active large breed dog might be short on space. But for small breed dogs, this is perfect.
The Laundry Room doubled as a staging area for the Dog Yard. Many useful items are stocked, including water & feeding bowls; pads & blankets; the necessary and proper plastic bags. A crate is available with advance notice. But our dog felt so at home the crate proved to be unnecessary.
The humans were also well taken care of. The Welcome Basket was much appreciated. We did use the well stocked Kitchen for cooking. Discovering the "Secret Toilet" upstairs was fun. Now that's a Water Closet! And having a 2nd Restroom did prove to be useful.
Communicating with Owners David & Sarah was easy & pleasant.
You aren't on the grounds of the Chautauqua Institution, but the location is very good if your visit includes that destination. It's an easy three mile commute. Be sure to turn right into the Visitors' Parking Lot; then take the shuttle bus to the Main Gate. Walking to the Main Gate is also an option. But while walking, don't be surprised if one of the friendly bus drivers offers you a lift while you're en route.
FWIW, we came for National Parks Week.
We hope to return for another stay in the Summer of '24!

Where to start... this was our second time visiting CHQ, but our first time staying in this beautiful home. They have thought of everything including your pets. We felt like our dog was truly welcomed, from some pet essentials to the fenced in yard.
The owners are very sweet and thoughtful. They knew we were going to have some bad weather traveling in and reached out to make sure we knew. We loved the list of things to see and do, restaurants and activities, all done for the surrounding cities too. So many things to do and not enough time, but that's ok, we'll be back!
Again, a great home, we will definitely come back to make more family memories. Thank you.

Property was immaculate and owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They provided a lot of information about the area and things to do. The kitchen is amazing and beautifully appointed. My daughter especially appreciated the welcome basket.
We did have one question and Dave responded immediately to successfully resolve the issue.
We would definitely stay at the property again.

Great property in excellent shape. Very welcoming hosts, easy check-in, house has everything we (4 adults and dog) needed for a comfortable stay. Short walking distance from ice-cream store is a bonus.

So much has already been said about the excellent location of the house, its cleanliness upon arrival, great amenities (and now has a newly updated kitchen), so I decided to focus my comments on the owners. David and Sarah are without a doubt the best hosts we've ever encountered. They respond to messages quickly, contact you to make sure everything is going well, and genuinely seem to care about the renters' experiences. David even notified us about a storm warning! We very much appreciated their kindness throughout our stay.

I cannot say enough good things about this property and the owners. My daughter had to have unexpected surgery and we were very comfortable here with our daughter recovering and getting to see her pups too! They left us a very thoughtful welcome package with a lot of great suggestions of local places to visit. Would definitely recommend without hesitation!

Very clean and inviting property that owners made extra effort to ensure a pleasureable stay. Close to boat launch, park and some of the best ice cream you can find (Barneys). Nice fenced yard for our Shih Tzus to roam. Touroughly enjoyed our stay there and hope to return soon.

His is our second time renting this home. It is beautiful, recently updated, clean, and very close to many local attractions on the lake. Walking distance from kayak and paddle board rental which my kids always enjoy. The fenced in backyard is perfect for my pup, so nice to have her with us on the lake and to be able to relax on the back porch while she played safely in the yard. We will def visit again!

We had a great stay. Just be mindful that the only full bathroom is on the main floor. So you’ll be sharing. There were only 4 of us- and we are family, so it wasn’t a big deal.
A very tiny toilet/sink combo in one of the upstairs bedrooms.
The back yard is fenced, and we loved bringing our dogs for the 1st time on vacation with us. The back patio has a nice little view of the lake. A 2 min walk to ice cream, 5 minutes to lake, park and more.
The house has everything you need, games, (video and board). The tv is a smart tv with all the streaming platforms that you can log into. All kitchen supplies. We were happy with our stay at this lakehouse.
David- the host, couldn’t have been more wonderful and helpful of the area, and house itself.

A wonderful Stay!
We loved our time at this property! The house was clean, and had everything you would need! The fenced in yard was the best for our pup! Mayville was a central location to other towns, and was within walking distance of several things. Sarah and David were great hosts, and even left us a gift basket to welcome us! We would definitely recommend!

Charming Lakehouse where you feel at home
What this house may not have in size or lakefront location is made up by the updates, the wonderful backyard with a peaceful view of the lake and absolutely amazing property owners. We felt very welcome and were pleasantly surprised by the personal touches for our stay. Would highly recommend!

This was our first VRBO experience! David and Sarah are outstanding hosts!
The house was clean, cozy, and dog friendly! It was close to so many things to do in the area! David and Sarah made the check in and out process very easy. And the welcome basket and special picture of our pups were just unexpected and so thoughtful!
Our week in the area was much different than the yearly beach trips we take but we tried something different and wanted our dogs with us so we tried it and it all worked out perfectly!
The house is so close to many good restaurants, The Chautauqua Institute, local wineries, Bemus Point(great little town), and a ice cream shop just a short walk from the house!
Book your next get away in this house! You will love it!

Perfect Cottage for a Great Stay!
This lovely cottage is everything promised--and more. The Grebers were always responsive and helpful with every question/inquiry. The location is ideal (quiet yet within walking/riding distance of the lake), close to the best grocery store, lots of room for us all to lounge/watch movies, super kitchen (!!!), and clean/updated bathroom. The backyard is HUGE with a lovely deck, grill, and large umbrella-covered table for outdoor dining. Beds are very comfortable (nice linens and pillows), even the sofa bed in the living room! Keyless entry made it so easy to move in and to coordinate 4 people going in and out. We had a grand 4-day stay and hope to be back soon.

The house was nice and clean, but it snowed a great deal and we (my husband) had to clear the yard for the dogs, and the sidewalks and access to the house--several times. For the price, arrangements should have been made for this.

Excellent communication with the owners before and during our stay. The house was clean and well-located for activities around Chautauqua Lake and that general area. The fenced back yard worked well for the dogs.
