I loved this stay but for one thing. No food available for dinner on my 66th birthday because the restaurant was rented out for a wedding. If only I had thought to rent the whole place out in advance I could have eaten here! Being off season there was nothing open on campus so we had to drive for food. Oh well. Apart from that, it was all I remembered. I’d last been here 50 years ago with my now departed parents and wanted to relive it for my 66th. Well, I certainly did that. The property is as beautiful as I remember and the stay comfortable. Highly recommended.

Don’t recommend
Our room was in a sad state. Floor slanted so badly it looked like a ramp. Noisy from guests above us. Entire place in dire need of upgrades.

This building gives you a wonderful 19th century feeling. It is located in a beautiful garden. There was even a 25 minutes Saturday night fireworks (provided by a wedding, though).

This is an old Hotel, built 1881, and its’ floors are a bit creaky and uneven. But that adds to the charm. Amazing porches with fantastic views of Lake Chautauqua. Bed was comfortable and room was clean.

Our stay was unique and opened our eyes to an area we've never seen.
We enjoy looking at the map and picking places that look different for our overnight stays during road trips that lead us here.
Off season for this area made for a great rate.
Wonderful time.
