We're less than 10 minutes to Barcelona harbor on Lake Erieand the public boat launch on Chautauqua Lakeat Mayville's Lakeside Park, about 10 minutes from Chautauqua Institution's main gate and less than 5 minutes to the Village of Westfield's town center with its quaint restaurants, antique shops and more.
Enjoy a fire in the living room wood-burning fireplace (there's also another gas fireplace in the lower level) while overlooking the pond from the huge wall of windows. In warm weather, the large decks are perfect for happy hour or enjoying a good book. You'll also be able to enjoy the beautiful views from the 6 person hot tub located on this elevated deck. Don't forget the outdoor fire pit that overlooks Lake Erie.
Lower Level The lower entrance level has 3 bedrooms that share a full bath. The first has a queen bed and a gas fireplace. Next to this is another bedroom with queen bed and pretty view of the smaller pond and finally there is a large bedroom with a queen and a double bed.

As you go up the stairs, you’ll come to a large living room with huge windows overlooking the pond, a wood-burning fireplace, TV and a wet bar.

In the living room cabinets, we have games, puzzles and toys for kids.
You'll have plenty of room to prepare and enjoy great meals in the open kitchen/dining area. We have the kitchen stocked with cookware and cooking basics and a grill is just outside the sliding door. In nice weather, enjoy your meal at the tables outside on the wrap-around deck.
A full bath with shower and jetted tub is located off of the kitchen next to the laundry area that is stocked for guest us.
The primary bedroom with king bed and en-suite bathroom is also on this level and features a huge bay window looking out to the woods and sliding doors out to the deck.

Winter Chalet Stay
Blew our expectations out of the water, the property was fantastic, it was great for the amount of people we had, it seemingly has space for pets, a loft-space for younger kids and plenty of room for everyone. Activities abound for all types of people, multiple areas to relax in, a view of the lake as well as the pond on the property, maybe a place to hookup a zipline? We almost completed the 1000 pc playing card puzzle, but it was quite difficult.Pictures did not do the property justice. It was well worth the stay and we expect to make a return trip for another weekend.We took a trip to Southern Tier just down the road, a day at Peak n' Peak, and overall around Chataqua. We wish we brought sleds for the hill in the back, or even a tent for some ice fishing 3 miles down the road at Chataqua. But that's next trip.In the winter, expect snow, the town had 142 inches of Snow in early Feb. Bring AWD, even tho the property owners sent a plow to clear the drive, if you get melting and it refreezes, it is probably needed. It's a slight hill to get back on the main road. Great place to have fun and take a vacation. 11/10 Recommended.

2025 New Year Celebration Perfection
Rented home for NYE with my husband, our children and their spouses, along with our three young grandchildren and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay! From the moment we walked in, with the warm and inviting feeling, to the spacious size of the house, with plenty of room for privacy. The cleanliness was also spot on. The house offered a fully stocked kitchen just like home. Bathrooms offered plenty of linens plus personal items for your use. Bedrooms were cozy and comfortable. The large living room fireplace was such a plus during the Lake Effect Snow Warning we had during our stay. With tons of firewood provided, we enjoyed a roaring fire the entire time. It gave such warmth and comfort! The outside property was large and well maintained. The back yard area with rolling grounds provided a ton of winter fun for the adventurers to sled and build a snowman during the storm. The family also loved the use of the hot tub during the snow fall and 20 degree outside temps. A great plus were the soft comfy beach towels provided to wrap up in when stepping out from the hot tub. This place had it all! It was a home away from home! Tiffany, the host, was by far amazing! She was proficient in her assistance with the few things we needed help with. She answered her phone immediately and never once made us feel like a burden. We had a wonderful celebration welcoming in the new year and would highly recommend this home for your stay!

Winter Wonderland
Our family came together from both the East and the West to celebrate Thanksgiving. The house was very well cared for and the lay out was perfect for our large group. Chris and Family really made a effort to welcome us to their home. We got over four feet of snow across three days and it was still coming down when we left. The hot tub was even more special hanging out in the evening and mornings with all the snow coming down. Chris and his family kept on checking on us making sure everything was plowed out and that we had the ability to run to the store with all the snow. All of our family agreed beyond a doubt that we would stay with Chris. Thank you again for making this such an awesome weekend!!!!

Perfect Cozy Fall Weekend
Thrilled with our stay at Portage Ponds this weekend. The house is comfortably and thoughtfully furnished, and the additional touches of the s'mores bar and the firewood helped make the weekend feel special. The property more than lived up to the pictures and, although we kept together on our short weekend, there are enough different spaces on the property to allow a group to spread out a bit. Our group occupied four of the five bedrooms and everyone commented how comfortable their rooms were. Looking forward to returning.

Beautiful House & Property
This is an absolutely beautiful property! Not only is it in a fantastic location, the owners have thought of everything that would make staying here a comfortable and relaxing experience. The little extra touches didn't go unnoticed and truly added to our experience. It is obvious that they take great pride in their property and put a lot of thought and effort into providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere for their visitors. Our family had a wonderful time and would definitely love to come back for future stays. Thank you so much!

Beautiful house & property! House was big enough for our group that have been getting together for 29 years! Location ideal for us!
This one checked all the boxes for our group. Beautiful home that is spacious inside and out, and big table to gather around. Property was clean and comfortable. Never got a chance to have a wood stove fire or campfire. Maybe next time.
