Relaxing Elevated Lake House Retreat

Little Whit is perfect for couples or small families looking for a relaxing lake experience close to Chautauqua Institute.

Our property has a large elevated porch to enjoy the views of Chautauqua Lake! The interior is open-styled with hardwood floors, a full kitchen and calm decor.
Primary bedroom with a king size bed, second bedroom with a king size trundle bed arrangement (two twins that can be set up as a king or used as two disconnected twins) and a convertible living room/third bedroom with a queen size sofa bed.

You'll be steps to the lake with the floating dock just 20 yards from the porch stairs where you can dock your boat, fish, or swim. (Dock is available seasonal and removed during the winter).

Enjoy the area's many sites just a short drive away, such as the Chautauqua Institute, Panama Rocks, the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, Beamus Point, and more! After a full day out on the water or exploring the area you can enjoy the spacious elevated deck to make dinner on the grill and stay above it all!

Bring your boat and tie up at our dock!

Fly fishing at Chautauqua creek is only a 15 minute drive with numerous trout fishing access sites along the way for a varied and beautiful day of fishing!

The house is on a private drive.

Plan ahead for ice fishing or snowmobiling on the frozen lake in the winter!

We hope to provide you with a refreshing stay!

Whitney Bay Lake cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at this quaint cottage we were very comfortable. The only thing I would add is maybe a fire ring and possibly a small stackable washer and dryer. This location/unit is definitely accommodating for boating and fishing.. Nice towns near by. We really enjoyed Bemus Point, the grocery store is very nice and has realistic hours of operation. Everyone is very friendly. My family enjoys Hogan’s Hut , the only bait shop this side of the lake. We went to the town of Lakewood, the downtown area unfortunately is a ghost town after 4:30. The only place open is the laundromat which is what we needed so no complaints there. This was our fourth trip to Chautauqua Lake and this was the best place we stayed at. We definitely will be returning! Thank you!

Not what I expected

I arrived on a day when the temperature was in the high 80s. The property was closed up and was quite warm inside. There is a portable air conditioner in the main room which I turned on. I then left for dinner, returning about five hours later to find that the air conditioner had not cooled the main room much at all and had no effect on the separate bedroom, which has no air conditioning unit. For the rest of my stay, the apartment heated up during the day and took hours to cool down at night with open windows and fans. It’s fair to say that this property is effectively without air conditioning. I used the dishwasher to clean some drinking glasses and coffee cups. When the cycle finished the pan had not drained and opening the door caused water to pour onto the floor. There was rust inside where the plastic coating had peeled off the metal racks. The serial number on the door indicates that the dishwasher was manufactured perhaps in 2004 or earlier. On my second night at the property, some family members and friends visited the property briefly to switch cars as the friends were heading back to the city after dinner. I drove in behind their vehicles and heard a woman’s loud voice. When I got out of my car I was told that a woman had come from a neighboring property and ran off as I was coming into the driveway. She was shouting “You are not welcome here . . . you are breaking the rules . . . the speed limit is 5 mph . . . there are seven signs . . .” The next day a hand-written sign was posted on a pole near the property, titled, “Do not ignore the 5mpH!” which said, “Dear Renters and Guests, We cherish the peace, quiet and safety on this private road. The speed limit posted is 5 mph! Please respect our rules. Thank you! The Owners and residence [sic] of Whitney Bay Road.” I visit Chautauqua every year with my family. Unfortunately, this year was the peaceful we anticipated.

Nice place to stay

My father and I stayed here for a few day fishing trip to Chautaqua Lake. It fit our needs perfectly. I had a friend that would be picking us up at the dock every morning in his boat to go fishing for the day, so I was concerned that the dock would be pulled for the season. The owner Matt was very accommodating and helpful with the situation. He said he would talk with his neighbors on when the dock would be pulled and get back to me. He got back to me in a timely manner with all the info I was hoping for. I recommend this place. I would stay again for sure.
