The Collingwood was built in 1882 and boasts quintessential Chautauqua charm. Inside the Chautauqua Institution, the house is surrounded by tall maples and shady oaks. It is one block from the lake, with large porches and patios for enjoying golden hour light through the trees. Apartment 5 is a favorite for people who enjoy cooking, entertaining, and a spacious patio for enjoying the breeze off the lake with a book. ***Guests MUST advise upon booking if they wish to bring a dog.*** This spacious two bedroom apartment sleeps four adults comfortably (or a family of four). It is located on the ground level of the Collingwood with a private brick patio and awning. The patio area is furnished with a dining table and chairs, as well as wicker furniture. The living room and dining area has a leather love seat, recliner, and dining table with four chairs. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher, refrigerator, gas stove, and all the appliances you'll need.

The Collingwood is located inside the Chautauqua Institution (chq dot org), which has world-class arts and culture programming, gardens, and lakeside recreation. Chautauqua normally requires a gate pass for entry during the 9-week summer season of arts and culture programming. There is no gate pass needed in summer of 2020! The off-season is always free. The Collingwood is located at the corner of Foster and Fletcher Avenues, and it is a five minute walk from the Amphitheater and the Hall of Philosophy. It is one block away from Chautauqua Lake and from the Athenaeum Hotel. Chautauqua is a fun community for walking and cycling. During the summer, it is 100% pedestrian-friendly. During the summer season, parking is available in the Main Lot across the street from the Main Gate. In the off-season, you can park in the South Lot about a 5-minute walk from the house. There is no parking on the Collingwood premises itself. The Collingwood was built in 1882, and in older houses, you might hear the footsteps of guest above you. For everyone's relaxation, please observe the quiet hours from 10:30pm to 8am. What are quiet hours? It means using “inside voices”, avoiding letting doors slam, and no loud music. You are most welcome to socialize on porches as long as you speak quietly and are respectful of other guests. But remember, no parties at any time. Please communicate these messages to your whole group. ***Guests MUST advise upon booking if they wish to bring a dog.***
