About the Condo

A Victorian-era inn, reimagined for modern stays

Originally built in 1893, the Lakeside Historic Inn has been thoughtfully restored and converted into private condominium residences. Our unit (5/17) retains the period charm — high ceilings, tall windows, hardwood details — with a fully updated kitchen, bathrooms, and air conditioning.

At 502 square feet with 2 beds in the bedroom plus a fold-out sofa sleeper, it comfortably sleeps up to 6 — perfect for couples, small families, or a pair of birding buddies. You get the walkability of a classic resort village: a short stroll to the lakefront, downtown shops, restaurants, and Chautauqua programming at Hoover Auditorium.

Updated kitchen with original spiral staircase — period charm meets modern stay
