Athenaeum Hotel
"We had a fantastic stay here. Was looking for a place to take my husband for his birthday. This hotel was amazing. We had a gorgeous corner room, very clean with a completely updated beautiful bathroom. Package included dinner and Sunday brunch at the hotel restaurant. Food was wonderful. The outdoor area was amazing with rocking chairs overlooking the lake. Wonderful weekend destination if you want some R&R!s"

Private Accommodations - Apartments/Condos
“Members of our family decided to meet at Chautauqua. It was a very educational and enjoyable week. We stayed in a wonderful condo on the grounds and enjoyed the lectures, musical performances at night and just the ambiance of being in a walkable, safe community. Enjoyed seeing the children enjoy their experience and plan to return again very soon."
