Welcome to Top Notch Cottage, an exceptional lakefront retreat set on one of the most coveted points on Chautauqua Lake. Positioned on just over two acres with water on two sides, the setting is as rare as it is beautiful.

Inside, the home offers 8 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, and a thoughtful configuration designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. A functional kitchen paired with a dedicated entertaining kitchen, numerous bedrooms—most with ensuite baths—and multiple living and flex spaces create a home that feels expansive, inviting, and intentional across three well-planned levels.

A layered mix of elegance and comfort defines the interiors, affording the very best version of lakefront living. Top Notch Cottage is the kind of home that naturally becomes part of a family’s story—built for gatherings, traditions, and years of return.

For a seamless transition, the home is offered fully furnished, including a state-of-the-art dock system.

During the current owner’s tenure, the property has been meticulously maintained and meaningfully improved. Highlights include professionally refreshed interiors, mechanical upgrades, a newly paved driveway, a lakefront firepit, and a stunning inground gunite pool expertly positioned to capture sweeping water views.

Located on Lighthouse Point, just over a mile from the Chautauqua Institution, Top Notch Cottage offers easy access to all of Chautauqua Lake while maintaining a rare sense of seclusion.

At last, Top Notch Cottage - the retreat you’ve been waiting for.
