Our stay was short but the

french toast was sweet,

your house is beautiful and this bedroom is neat.

~~

We've got to go shopping so farewell for now,

we'll see you next year

hopefully, somehow.

Welcome to the Blue Heron Inn

 

Nestled in the lush hills of Chautauqua County the Blue Heron Inn extends a warm welcome to all who travel the scenic corridor into Western New York. Located on Findley Lake's picturesque north shore, (2 miles from the New York/Pennsylvania border) antique-appointed accommodations with a commanding lake view are the specialty of the house. The Blue Heron Inn pays homage to its scenic location with a cozy, nature-inspired decor. In addition to antique furnishings each guest room features a private bath, air conditioning and free wireless internet.

The Blue Heron Inn offers more than just fine overnight accommodations. On premise dining & spirits are available to guests as well as to the public. And the big red barn behind the Inn is home to Nostalgia, "the coolest store in town". Stroll the local shops or enjoy the five miles around the lake by boat, bike or on foot. If you're looking to venture further afield, a multitude of sights and sounds are yours to discover. Chautauqua County is home to a wealth of antique shops, farm markets, galleries & historic sites. For the more adventurous there are biking &  hiking trails, horseback riding and even hot air balloon rides!

The Blue Heron Inn is centrally-located between the following Chautauqua County, NY and Erie, PA attractions:

    Presque Isle and Tom Ridge Environmental Center

  

 

Four Seasons of Fun

 

And the pleasure doesn't stop at summer's end! As the days grow shorter Chautauqua County's Fall festivals come alive to celebrate the many flavors of the local harvest. The festivities take place amidst hillsides ablaze in vivid tones of ruby, carnelian and citrine. The tenderly cared for crops have been gathered, the wineries are busy putting up the season's vintages and the chill in the air turns our thoughts to the upcoming celebrations of Halloween and Thanksgiving.

 

Winter in the rolling hills of Chautauqua County is reminiscent of a Currier and Ives Christmas card! Annual snowfalls average more than 200 inches each year, creating sparkling portraits of stillness and serenity. And all that snow is perfect for spending a few days on the ski slopes, riding the hundreds of miles of well-groomed snowmobile trails, taking an old-fashioned horse-drawn sleigh ride on the grounds of historic Chautauqua Institution or trying your skill in a brand new state-of-the-art ice skating arena. Each February the highlight of the season is a3-day Winter Festival on nearby Chautauqua Lake that features an Ice Castle Extravaganza, sleigh rides, ice carvings, snow sculptures & fireworks.

 

The final snowfall tally for the Winter of '08/'09 was 306 inches; the largest recorded snowfall total in recent history. Signs of spring are everywhere; the tulips are up, the flowering trees are in bloom, even the dandelions have awakened! The geese have nested, the first goslings of the season have been sighted and we'll watch new families appear each week. Life is reinventing itself all around us. Reinvent yourselves at the Blue Heron Inn!

 

So Close

Findley Lake is located less than three hours, less than a tank of gas, from Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Rochester, Niagara Falls and Toronto and within an easy drive from Buffalo and Erie.

 

 

Open year ' round ~ make a visit to the Blue Heron Inn part of all your seasons!
