Wonderful historic home near the lake
Had an amazing stay at Tottering. This was our second year planning a family get together here in the lake.
The kitchen was great for cooking family meals to enjoy on the beautiful back porch. The hosts are so responsive and accommodating.
Can’t wait to stay here again.

4th of July Week get a way
My family has been coming to Chautauqua Lake for all of my life; visiting grandparents and parents. Tottering provided a place for the younger generation to stay and visit together and hop across the Lake to visit with Grandparents. Property is well appointed (a/c cooled the first floor; ceiling fans the second; laundry was helpful). Kitchen allowed us to cook dinner for everyone, and the back deck hosted a game night. Neighborhood is quiet and provided great fireworks viewing. The hosts were helpful and easy to communicate with. Great property!

Tottering
Our five-day stay at Tottering at Point Chautauqua was amazing to say the least. Now seventy, I was two months old when I first went to the Point. I was familiar with the house years ago when it looked as though it would fall down any day; hence the name. The Osborns did a fantastic job of rehabilitation of the structure and their work should be presented in the journal of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Anyone else would have razed the structure and started anew. The owner also connected me with two members of the local historical society and I spent several hours discussing my knowledge of the Point with them.
The cottage was spotless and filled with everything (and more) that could be needed to make for a perfect stay.
I cannot recommend the property enough. My wife and I will certainly return.

Peace and Beauty
Point Chautauqua was the perfect place for our family of 4 adults and an infant just before Labor Day. The walks on Olmsted's roads or just down the path to the playground and swimming pier are delightful. Tottering is very comfortable, spic and span, spacious, and quiet. We could not have dreamed of more.

So much more than expected
We had a lovely time. The house is simply beautiful. Great location and we enjoyed so many facets of the house like the surround sound music, shady porches and huge bedrooms. We actually looked forward to nighttime sleep. The owner was easy to communicate with and gave so many good suggestions. We visited university of Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Thanks

Lovely stay at Tottering
Our family had a wonderful time at Tottering. Sandy was easy to work with- very accommodating and quick to reply to our questions. The location is great- quiet neighborhood, friendly neighbors, short walk to the water, lovely park and swim area! The house has all you need and more! The hosts have really made every effort to ensure a wonderful stay. My kids loved it so much that they asked if we can have another trip to Tottering next year.

Tottering is a beautiful space and a 3-minute walk to the lake - which has a cute swimming area and a great place to sit and watch the sunset. The porches are not to be missed at Tottering - rain or shine, they kept us covered and we had a lot of fun. But wait, there is more. The gardens are beautiful and don't miss the planting plans that show what is planted, where. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful and the place is close to everything. Sandy recommends Guppies - and so do we!

So peaceful and picturesque!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tottering. Just the perfect respite we needed from our hectic lives in the city. We loved the 5 min walk to the lake and went 1-2 times a day. The playground for the kids at the lake was a perfect place for our littles to burn off steam. Tottering itself had everything we needed for a calm and relaxing vacation. We toured the neighboring towns, went for lots of scenic drives and walks, and were amazed at how close everything was to Tottering. Just a short drive to Bemus Point, The local state park and marina, restaurants and quaint towns all around that area. We had all the comforts of home during our stay, a well appointed kitchen, a nicely updated bath, clawfoot tub for the kids to take a bath, and a great yard to run around in. We hope we can make our visits to Tottering a yearly occurrence! Book your stay now, you won't regret it!

Just what we needed!
As we were looking for a beach vacation this summer, we were limited by our professional responsibilities ( I am a nurse adn my husband is a physician) to keep a low profile and stay in a quiet location where we would be safe and secluded. Tottering delivered far above our expectations. The home is as beautiful as it is comfortable and welcoming. We love to cook and fully appreciated a kitchen that was both lovely and well-equipped. Every night we enjoyed delicious dinners featuring local corn and tomatoes paired with incredible IPAs from local breweries. We swam in the lake, golfed, kayaked, paddle-boarded, and mountain biked. We can't wait to return!

Great stay on the Point!
Tottering was fantastic! We had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay and the weather was unusually warm for Chautauqua so we were able to swim a lot and enjoy the warm evenings! The house has an amazing history and the owners have done a fantastic job restoring and updating the home! It has a wonderful blend of history and modern comforts!

Wonderful well stocked home in quiet lake community!
The house was lovely, and spacious. We were 4 adults and 3 teens and there was plenty of sleeping space for everyone. The house, especially the kitchen is incredibly well stocked and organized. We baked brownies and cookies and found everything we needed. The house was perfectly clean. The lake is lovely and a very short walk from the house. We spent a lot of time on the back deck looking towards the lake. The neighborhood is quiet and people were very friendly. Lots of space for the teens to roam safely. Close drive to Lake Erie. And a not so bad drive to Niagara Falls. We are not golfers, but the golf course is within walking distance. Overall a lovely, lovely stay!
