Tucked away on a quiet dead-end road, this charming lakefront cottage at 4896 Ashville Bay Road offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, and natural beauty. With over 141 feet of Chautauqua Lake frontage between five total parcels, this is the kind of place where memories are made and summers seem to last a little longer.
Step onto the welcoming covered porch and take in sweeping lake views that carry through to the bright, year-round sunporch—a cozy spot for morning coffee, reading a good book, or watching the boats drift by. The living room features a classic fireplace and opens into a sweet dining nook, creating a warm and relaxed gathering space.
Inside, the main bedroom includes an en-suite bath and generous closet space, while two additional bedrooms, a full hallway bathroom, plus a large bunk room with a full bathroom offer plenty of room for family and guests. The kitchen is spacious and full of potential, ready for your personal touch to make it your own.
With two ways to get down to the water, either down the staircase or ride down/ load up the mule that is being sold with the property to the darling guest cottage, adds to the storybook charm with its own living/bedroom, full bath, and kitchenette—ideal for visitors or peaceful escapes just steps from the lake.
The attached garage, expansive lot next door, provide for extra parking, and lush landscaping complete this one-of-a-kind lakeside retreat. Whether you're looking for a year-round home or a seasonal getaway, this sweet lakeside cottage is ready to welcome you.
