This gorgeous 6,221 sqft home sits the perfect distance across open lawn to its private dock and 270 feet of frontage near Whitney Bay on the western side of Chautauqua Lake. This bay is known as a great fishing spot and is perfect for a relaxing kayak, canoe or stand-up-paddleboard outing and beautiful views of sunrises and sunsets. The large dock has two open 30' slips, enough room to moor your boat and/or jet-skis, and a great place to swim or fish if open water isn't your thing (fishing by permit only, poles and tackle available at the house).
Whether you're looking to enjoy quiet solitude or to host a family event, Magnolia-on-the-Lake is designed for year-round enjoyment. This unique house has 23 rooms, including eight bedrooms and six full bathrooms (one en suite). A perfect home for a multi-generational family getaway with space to gather for pool, games or a movie, as well as a number of private spaces to relax peacefully and enjoy the scenery. Indoor and outdoor games and toys for all ages are available. The large, open kitchen has been updated with marble, stainless steel, and modern Thermador appliances. A large grill is available on the porch outside the Butler Pantry. Towels and bedding are provided, with two washers and dryers on separate floors for your convenience on longer stays. Wi-Fi is available throughout the house and, although our TV's are “smart”, Chromecast is the preferred method to access your streaming services because it allows you to cast directly from your mobile device without logging in to our systems or forgetting to log out. Tour local breweries, wineries, golf courses and local restaurants close by, or take a short drive to explore nearby Jamestown, and check out the new National Comedy Center (which was built with a significant contribution from a foundation started by the originating family of this house).
On the grounds of the estate you will find an expansive lakeside lawn and a private park-like garden area with mature trees and many species of decades old plantings. Multiple sitting areas allow you to enjoy the tranquility of a small pond and a variety of aquatic birds which frequent there. Absorbing the beauty of original hardscapes will bring you back to another time.
Founders of this magnificent estate chose the perfect spot and spared no expense giving its preserved unique character and charm. Step back in time and enjoy Chautauqua Lake as its famous occupants have done for decades. Relive the elegance of the past with all the conveniences of today.

Review Score: 10

Summary: We have stayed in numerous homes over the years and this home stood out for its beauty, accommodations, how well stocked the kitchen was and the communication with our host Roger. This trip was for four college friends and their spouses/significant other to celebrate many of us turning 70. It did not disappoint and we would gladly recommend this home to everyone.
