Stay at The Manor
While The Manor has been designed as self contained units, The Inn, and La Grange, its unique character is that it translates into a grand resort.
With nine formal bedrooms, three dining rooms, three kitchens, eight entertaining areas, two porches, and too many “flex” spaces to list, The Manor is ideal for large and small group rentals near Chautauqua Lake.
The spaces are uniquely crafted to offer relaxation and engagement, depending on time allocation. Choices vary from curling up on the couch in the library with a book or slipping into a favorite dress to host a dinner party in the ballroom.
The goal in updating the historic property was to design a luxury lake house for those pursuing the comforts of home while on vacation- think “glamping” without the “ping”.

Herewith are descriptions of rooms and areas of The Manor to explain the space allocation.
Ballroom & Kitchen
The Ballroom is the largest room in The Manor and undoubtedly one of the most impressive. The open-concept room includes 5 seating and gathering areas including a 12-person farmhouse dining table, designed for entertaining. With large windows, high ceilings, and a soothing color palette inspired by nostalgic white wicker furniture, the space is bright and airy. A balcony deck with a view of Chautauqua Lake is located through French doors.
This swoon-worthy gourmet kitchen is ideal for the home cook or aspiring chef. It features new stainless steel appliances including a gas range and oven, dishwasher, double door refrigerator with ice maker, dedicated wine refrigerator, and an Italian espresso machine and Nespresso maker. It is stocked with kitchen conveniences. A bar island seating eight, complements the size and use of the space.
Billiards Landing
At the top of a grand staircase is Billiard’s Landing. The pool table, couch, and the unique, inn key cubby were designed for interaction and entertainment. This activity is not available at most other venues.
The Lakeview Room
This large bedroom with a king size bed, boasts a bright blue and white color palette inspired by the Ralph Lauren designer bed linens and features an elegant ensuite bathroom with standup shower. A wicker chair in the corner, near the lake view window, makes for a quiet, peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the rest of The Manor.
The Barn Room
Inspired by the room’s prior “door to nowhere” reminiscent of The Manor’s original barn structure, this rustic space now features a large, barn-door style window, a queen size bed and flat screen TV. This space can accommodate a pack and play for young children. The soothing color palette and luxury bed linens make it a great place for those of all ages.
The Bridal Suite
The spacious Bride’s Room with a luxurious king size bed, leads to a large suite including two “bonus” or flex rooms, specifically designed with brides in mind, but adaptable for a family. A coffee bar, two comfortable conversation seating areas, a designated makeup vanity, and a spa-worthy English bathtub, enhance the charm and function of this suite. The English bath has a handheld shower, but it is not designed for everyday showering, in which case one of the other bathrooms can be utilized.
Private stairs lead to the “the turret room” or “Mary’s Room” which includes a sleeper sofa. It serves as a great flex space for privacy or contemplation but can easily adapt to serve as a playroom, or child’s sleeping area.
Information about the use of this space for wedding prep can be found here.
Kitchen Entryway
Paying homage to The Manor’s past, guests experience an equestrian themed entry to The Inn.The spacious light filled kitchen has extensive counters, a full size glass-top stove and oven, a full size fridge and freezer, microwave, toaster, and Nespresso maker, K-cups and coffee included. The space and amenities are conducive to preparing family meals as well as gracious dining.
The Library Living Room
The Library Living Room served as the library in the former Inn. It features walls of books contributed by decades of previous owners. Guests can curl up in this book worm’s paradise. There is a 42″ flatscreen tv with streaming service to enhance internet viewing, and a small desk for personal activities.
The Blue Dining Room
This 6+ person dining room, featuring an original fireplace and mantel, now houses a gas fireplace, which, with the flip of a switch, creates a charming atmosphere. A glorious, spacious, well appointed, covered porch is accessible off the dining room. French doors can open into the dining room of The Gallery, doubling dining capacity. This is a creative option for hosting larger gatherings.
The Gallery Dining Room
The wall-to-wall windows lining two sides of the 6 + person dining space offer a bright, open atmosphere. If requested the French doors can connect this dining room to The Inn. These side-by-side dining rooms offer additional space for additional entertaining.
The Oryx Living Room
The design of this room was inspired by the oryx head mounted over the fireplace, left as historical content by the previous owners. The other fireplace is electric. Plush velvet lounge furniture, paired with wall-to-wall windows, complement the comfort of the indoors with breathtaking outdoor views. A set of French doors open to the grand Ballroom in La Grange.
The Gallery Kitchenette
Considerably smaller than The Manor’s other two full-size kitchens, the kitchenette includes all necessities; a full-size fridge, microwave, Wolfgang Puck Countertop Convection Oven, and a Keurig coffee maker, K-cups included. A stackable washer and dryer fit comfortably.
The Gallery Bedroom
This farmhouse-style bedroom has a queen size bed and ensuite bathroom with a vintage-style English telephone booth standup shower. The original wallpaper and antique furniture convey its history.
The covered porches of The Manor are to be envied, whether looking at the expansive lawns or Chautauqua Lake. Lounging on the comfortable conversation couches, taking in the Western New York air from the swing, or enjoying a meal at the bistro table, are enriching experiences. Regardless of the weather, the view from the porches are memorable.
The Cellar
This garden-level apartment is located below The Manor. Formerly hosting visiting musician members of the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, the recent redesign of this space was inspired by its prior resident-guests. The Cellar apartment features large windows, plenty of recessed lighting, beadboard ceilings, plush carpets, and rustic farmhouse decor that make it a warm and inviting space. There is no indoor passage to from The Cellar to The Manor, so the suite offers additional privacy.
