Beautiful wildlife sanctuary on goose creek with kayaks!

Now accepting Month to month rentals until June 1. The rate is 1900/month this includes utilities and snow removal.

Located on the Goose creek wildlife preserve in Loomis Bay this is truly the sweet spot on Chautauqua lake. We are close to all the major attractions on the lake and minutes from the beautiful town of Lakewood and the Jamestown Comedy Center. We have a 40 ft dock with direct access to the lake with 3 kayaks to use. This is the perfect place to sit back and unwind in this natural paradise on the lake minutes away from Chautauqua counties major attractions.

This is a 4 season 3-bedroom house that will comfortably sleep 8, there is room for up to 3 cars (commercial vehicles and trailers can park at Loomis bay park next door) .

It has a full-size washer and dryer, and fully equipped kitchen including a dishwasher. We have high speed internet and a Roku TV with Netflix, Amazon prime, Disney Plus, and Apple TV. I also take COVID seriously here and I have installed an air cleaning system that will remove pollen and all viruses including COVID 19 from the heating and cooling system. We are 10 minutes from Lakewood / Jamestown, the biggest city in the county so you'll have lots of restaurants, a mall, the comedy center in Jamestown and other entertainment options. The Harbor hotel, Wegmans and Walmart are very close by for your convenience. There are 3 Kayaks available to use. You are 15 minutes from the Chautauqua Institute and 10 minutes from Bemus point. We have a dock that is 40 ft long that you can park your boat and jet skis on (low draft only). There is a fire pit and seating for 4. There is an enclosed heated porch for relaxing and enjoying the wildlife. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy everything Chautauqua lake has to offer!

Weekend getaway!
This was a great cottage for a last min Ute weekend getaway! It’s on a quiet little inlet, so we watched lots of boats go by, had a nice campfire and just enjoyed a beautiful weekend outside! The owner and neighbors were so friendly as well!

Perfect cabin for quiet getaway
The cabin was perfect for our family (parents and college aged kids). The kitchen was fully supplied with any cookware you will need plus a dishwasher. The beds are super comfy and so relaxing after hiking or kayaking all day. There is plenty of space for everyone so you don't feel like you are on top of each other. Launching our kayaks was easy from the dock and the river is so smooth and easy to paddle. The whole neighborhood is quiet and you can take a nice walk to a park. If you do want to venture out to Chautauqua Lake, you are just around the curve, but far enough that you don't hear boat noise all day. The owners were great. They answered any questions we had promptly and resolved the minor glitches right away. Would highly recommend and would visit again.

Great Vacation
There is a hot tub, kayaks, or you can relax on the sun porch My adult children used every amenity every day. great local restaurant's ice cream stands and stores in case you forgot something. and of course you are very close to the comedy museum. My family would definitely come back and stay at this property again in the future

Great location, nice quiet cove
We enjoyed our stay and loved having the convenience of the dock. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and the neighbor was quite helpful. The house could use a little TLC. The sliding door from the kitchen/living room to the screened porch was quite difficult to slide and would only open about a foot. The thermostat resetting at 10:00pm made it uncomfortable for the upstairs guests. We misunderstood the listing of BBQ grill. The house had an outdoor griddle. The owners were responsive and answered our questions immediately.

Peaceful retreat!!
The cottage came well equipped with all the comforts of home. The location was tucked into a canal and across from a nature reserve, which made for a very serene stay. It was nice to to be able to utilize the kayaks in the canal on the calm waters too. After a long day of fishing, having the hot tub was a plus and a fire pit stocked with wood made unwinding easy. Enjoyed our 2 weeks and caught a lot of fish!!

Booking was as advertised. Nice location, just up the creek from the lake. Close to anything you might need, but out of the way. Quiet, dead end street. Would stay here again.

Needs Help
As a season traveler I expect the houses I rent to be clean and have proper facilities. In this house it needed a good cleaning and update. The stove and grill were not cleaned and we were not able to use them. In the hot tub the water was cloudy and we felt that it was not safe to use. The major problem was the lack of water in the house. You dont expect to have to wait to use water in the house. The screen doors were hard to open, there were some holes in the walls and some of the curtain rods and blinds were broken. Upon arriving we had to wait for over an hour to sit outside while someone cut the grass. We were also a little disappointed at the location, as we thought the house was located on the lake and it was not. We were also a little offended by the envelope by the cleaning staff for a tip. Especially, since the house was not clean. We would not rent this house again.

Relaxing Getaway Location
We had a nice time staying here at Goose Creek. We saw a river otter fishing for his dinner and a gray Heron fly by, Nice! The cottage is clean and well appointed with kitchen things you may need. I didn’t se any towels when we arrived and went to Walmart and bought some as I hadn’t brought any. Soon as we got back my husband found some in the laundry room closet 😖. The cottage is close to lots of eateries and a short drive to Jamestown and the National Comedy Museum. We enjoyed our stay and would rent again. The only trouble we had was with the Roku TV didn’t want to work well, at night when relaxing (it was raining) I wanted to watch a movie on Netflix but it kept stopping then going back to the Home Screen both nights we were there. I eventually gave up and watch on my Kindle tablet. Thanks to Dan and Melinda for sharing their wonderful cottage. Cheers!

Outstanding Creek Cottage
Wonderful property with excellent access on Goose Creek and view into the refuge where we saw deer, beaver, and geese. Very clean inside with nice size bedrooms and renovated kitchen. Was wonderfully set up and appreciate the little details like inside board games if it rained, soap and snacks! Clean hot tub and 3 kayaks was a really nice feature. Thank you so much for letting us stay there!! Will return.

Beautiful Location
The location was beautiful. Moments away from the lake with a river inlet right behind the home. The wildlife viewings were incredible. The weather for the weekend we stayed wasn’t the best. Raining and cold, but being able to sit out on the enclosed porch and view everything was a blessing. I think the home has been going through some updating. The improvements are very nice. We’re hoping to stay there again when the restorations have been completed and the weather is warmer. Every amenity you could ever need was there. I could’ve packed a lot less, but I’ve never stayed anywhere where absolutely “everything” you needed was included. Kudos to whoever keeps track of the supplies, they’re doing a great job. Our only complaint would be the road leading to the house. Major potholes are everywhere so be careful. We drove in at night so it was a bit challenging to try to avoid them all.

Great Getaway!
We had a great experience staying at this home! It was VERY WELL stocked with ANYthing you could possibly need! And Dan, the property manager, responded very promptly every single time I had a question or issue. The boat rental was the best part. Only able to get on the lake one day but my elderly parents enjoyed it tremendously. And we caught all of our fish right from the dock at the house which my 3 year old LOVED! Would highly recommend!
