Our fourth year staying here for our fishing trip and once again it was amazing! Love the property and location. Looking forward to next year already

Beautiful Lake and house

Excellent all around. Would recommend and would stay again.

This was such an amazing stay! Our family had a great time! Everything was so clean and kid friendly! Our children didn’t want to leave! We can’t wait to stay again!

Very nice and cozy lake house. Very close to shops and Jamestown. Cottage has everything! Literally just bring clothes and food. Check in process was easy and had great communication with owners. Loved it and would definitely rent again.

Thrift store bedding should not be in any vacation rental l. All the sheets were old and very low quality. We were give 6 rough white bath towels for a 2 bath unit. We had 7 people in our party. We were washing towels nightly! All the beds have the same cheap amazon frame that Squeak to high heaven with any movement. We all woke up Several Times each night from all the squeaking beds!!! We all tossed and turned on these HARD beds! Be Sure to deep clean the entire kitchen because the retired housekeeper RITA does not do ANY dishes or basic kitchen cleanup.. and you will be charged extra. We left at 6:30 am and put Coffee cups and water glasses in the sink. Rita had to wash 5 coffee cups, 4 water glasses, wipe down the stove and counter top….so SHE WAS NOT HAPPY! Every checkout instruction in the manual Was followed to the T…and I still got an aggressive text that we left the place a mess ….NOT TRUE. He’s an out of town owner and rely’s on his retired housekeeper Rita. I think they keep old photos of carpet stains to charge guests carpet cleaning fees. Hopefully Bob will update his guest instructions book/ NOVEL to include this deep cleaning requirement. I would have kept quiet about the Bedding from Good Will and the HARD mattresses with squeaky bed frames, but guests need to Know what they are getting into. Also be sure to book directly with Bob so he can save on his website fees and taxes! (It’s stated in the guest manual)

Very impressed with cleanliness and attention to detail. Everything you'd need was provided and then some. The furniture was comfortable and we were able to have our fur baby with us. Had a very relaxing stay. It was wonderful!

We enjoyed our stay at Lil Blue very much. We spent hours on the back porch, but the inside was also nice.

Family vacation that was wonderful! Amazing property & owners.

Great place with kind and wonderful hosts! If there was anything we wished to change, it would only be some curtains on the front/back of the house for the sake of privacy. The house is tucked a bit away, but we did feel that at night when we were watching movies on the TV, that anyone would be able to see us on the couch or in the dining room. Other than that, the place had everything you could need for a fun weekend getaway!

Lil Blue was very cozy with a wonderful view of the water. The town was very nice and very friendly people. Would recommend to anyone that wants to stay in the area. Pizza express was right down the road and had excellent food and service.

Great lake cottage for our widely spread family (Oregon, Texas, Ohio, western NY) to enjoy two weeks and wonderful times together. Having four bedrooms (no closets in three, plus bring your own hangers), and two full baths was essential. However, being provided with only six bath size towels when a cottage sleeps ten was a bit "skimpy" and required more frequent laundry than necessary. Next time will bring some additional towels of our own. Otherwise, the cottage was well-appointed and delightfully decorated. Enjoyed the lakeside large porch and loads of lawn/porch furniture. Cleanliness when we checked in was exceptional. Cleaning supplies and equipment was provided for use during our stay. Lots of nightlights provided. Lots of games, DVDs, puzzles, etc. provided, although the weather was so nice we spent more time outside than inside. Having three kayaks was a bonus (property description only mentioned two kayaks). It was interesting to see the frequent osprey and the nearby nests. We prepared many of our meals at the cottage and found most of the dishes, cooking utensils, etc. provided that were needed. We will bring a couple of our good knives for our next stay. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at this lake cottage and plan to book again. Bob was very prompt with responses to our emails/texts before and during our stay.

What a great cottage on the lake!! Very comfortable and the host was wonderful to communicate with!! You will love this place!!

The cottage was just as described. It was very easy to communicate with the host. We had eleven people with us, and it did not feel small. It made for some great memories for our family. The porch was fantastic—looking out at the lake was my favorite part!

The weather during our week at the lake wasn’t good so we couldn’t really enjoy much lake time, but the cottage itself was fantastic. It’s really well appointed; your suitcase and some groceries is all you need. Communication with Bob was effortless. Hope to be back!

Enjoyed fishing. Kids were able to do some swimming, although the lake weeds had been treated and had not yet been cleared out. Weeds had nothing to do with the owners. It was quiet and the neighbors were friendly. We enjoyed the gas fireplace as the evenings cooled off.

This property was much more than we expected. The house was right on the lake and the views were amazing. The house has been newly renovated and was very comfortable. The kayaks were a huge hit and my girls went out on them a few times during our stay. The host communication was the best I have ever had in renting a house and we have been renting thru VRBO for over 10 years. Bob was super quick to respond to any questions I had. We also planned this trip before the pandemic and we had to keep changing the dates for 3 years. Bob was very understanding and allowed us to keep making the change without any issue. The location was close to everything we needed or wanted. We are DEFINITELY coming back to this house in the near future. Thanks Bob for a most pleasant experience.

Great place to stay. Boat 25’ from cottage. Awesome cottage for a getaway!!

The house worked perfectly fir our trip

The property and lake were amazing. Many extras were provided and the hosts were fantastic to work with. Wonderful experience!

Our family had a very nice time at the lake home. The place was very neat and tidy. Our hosts checked up during our stay to ensure all was good. We've stayed at other Chautauqua lake homes in the past. We'll definitely make this our go to place each year.

Beautiful views! Cozy and comfortable. Everything you need is provided. Communication is great. Would recommend.

Had a very clean, safe, comfortable stay! What a beautiful view! Decorated so cute! Everything we needed. Thanks!

We loved this place! Super clean with a terrific view. It was positioned well in terms of everything we wanted to do. We knew we were coming at a time of year where much would be closed or unavailable, but we really enjoyed just putting the fireplace on and spending some time relaxing in this cozy cottage. We are looking forward to a return trip!

Had to be up for a business meeting and the cottage was perfect. Spectacular sunrises and the full moon was amazing. The cottage had everything you need. Great location, clean and cozy. Thanks guys.

“Little Blue” was very nice and comfortable. The cottage was clean and spacious. The view was lovely - the pictures don’t do it justice. Thank you for a lovely time.

it was great but fishing was not that great to many weeds

so clean, such a beautiful view of the lake, quiet neighborhood, it could not be better!!!!

Love this cottage! It looks like it would be small but the layout really optimizes the space!!!! So glad to choose to stay here. Close to a lot of essentials. The communication with the owners was above and beyond!! Definitely recommend and will rent again when we come back East!!

Nice cottage on the lake. Back patio is very nice.

The owners have done a great job remodeling this property and making it highly functional. It was immaculate when we arrived and organized with clear instruction book and labeled containers. The kayaks were fun, dock was sturdy, and outside space was setup well including a small fridge for drinks. The beds were very comfortable and kitchen was fully stocked that allowed us to make real dinners. I’ve rented various cottages for 20 yes on this lake and this was by far at the top especially with the attention to detail like having enough toilet paper and clean sponges, working hose, etc. was superb. Thank you for a great experience.

Lovely home, with everything we needed! Thank you so much!
