I believe this is our 3rd stay at the Light Keepers Refuge, and we hope to return again.

The house was clean and provided us with all the necessary amenities. Morning coffee on the balcony, front row views of the beautiful lighthouse and marina, and a close proximity to the beach, breakfast diner, and fishery were the highlights of our stay at the Lightkeeper's Refuge. The host was a big help and quick to respond. I would highly recommend this location and cannot wait to return to beautiful Barcelona and the town of Westfield. ##### Anthony W.

The added seating on the top balcony was perfect. Mornings couldn't be better on that balcony rain or shine. Watching the boats head out for the day, breathing the fresh Canadian air, (we had no issues with the Canadian wildfires) there is nothing more relaxing. Dining at Brazill's is highly recommended. We are still enjoying our pies from Portage Pies, definitely worth the stop. Sadly we weren't able to make it to The Parkveiw for their fabulous chicken salad. Nothing but relaxing. No need to worry about anything. If you do need anything, its just a little drive into Westfield. ##### Thomas & Betsy B. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan C. Feb 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exactly What We Wanted! My wife and I were looking for a comfortable/secluded home that was close to highway access. This home was perfect! We were able to easily see a lot of WNY due to the multiple nearby roads and highway. Additionally, the quaint town of Westfield was close so we were able to go grocery shopping, get coffee, and pick up take-out from multiple restaurants that were all within 5 mins. The house itself came exactly as advertised! We spent a lot of time in the back room reading, playing games, and watching TV. The house was really clean and had a lot of nice touches. We stayed in the middle of the winter and it was NOT drafty as every room felt toasty and warm! The layout was also perfect as you could hang out together or go to another room to get some privacy. The pier and light house across the street were beautiful. There was also a nice beach within a 1/4 mile with some great views and a lot of driftwood. The owner of the home was amazingly quick to respond to messages and you can tell she truly cares! Additionally, she was understanding, patient, and terrifically kind. We highly recommend!! ##### Ryan C.

Words really cannot describe what a fabulous relaxing refuge this is. Kathleen and her staff have thoughtfully designed the Lightkeepers Refuge for a carefree stay. Everything you'll need for your stay is there. My husband & I booked in hopes that family nearby could visit. The offer of unlimited WIFI got our nieces there, but surprisingly they stayed, sleeping in often. I'm guessing their beds were just as comfy as the master. There was plenty for the 4yr old to explore in the yard, when we weren't across the street at the lake. The game room provided actives to keep him entertained also. I can't begin to describe the beauty of the porch and decks. The swing on the second story deck was so peacefully enjoyable. The back deck overlooking the grapes was the best for stargazing. Being there during harvest was an added plus also, Oh the sweet smell of grapes in the air. Chautauqua County is my favorite place to recharge, and the Lightkeepers Refuge delivered 100%! ##### Thomas & Betsy B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sarah R. Aug 25, 2024 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Variable Experience I feel compelled to leave a review that is an accurate representation of our stay. Despite most reviews indicating a 10/10 experience, which speaks for itself, our experience was not fully the same. When we got there the lockpad to get in was being finicky. The host was very response via phone to help us get in. We arrived later in the evening (8:30pm) so were hoping to settle in and relax. After we got inside the host called us back to let us know there had been a mistake and the cleaning crew had never come to clean. She did immediately offer to refund our trip if we wanted to stay elsewhere (which wasn’t an option, it was late and we had nowhere else to go) and also offered to contact her cleaner to send her out right away. She offered to refund us the cleaning fee, which was nice but didn’t feel sufficient in my perspective. She did get the cleaners out about 30 minutes later which was nice and the cleaners were very nice. They cleaned until about 10:30/11 and then we were able to get ready for bed. The host reached out to offer a better refund due to the trouble/stress which felt more appropriate to us. The rest of our stay was completely fine and we enjoyed the space. The initial stress does not seem to be a regular occurrence. ##### Sarah R. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heidi B.

Aug 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely house in a wonderful location My partner and I came here with our dog for a mini-moon right after getting married and we had such a wonderful time. The harbor and the beach right across the street are beautiful and were very quiet on weekdays. We had a lovely time visiting local wineries and were able to find plenty of restaurants with dog-friendly patios so our pup could join us for dinner. The house is really charming and the host was very helpful and responsive - we'll definitely be back! ##### Kristina M. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### christian w.

We loved our stay and hope to come back and explore more. The house had everything we needed and was very clean and well appointed. We loved sitting on the upper porch swing with a view of the lake and lighthouse. The host was wonderful and check in and out were easy. We hope to return! ##### Maria B.

We had a wonderful time in a wonderful location! We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of Lake Erie from the home and from the beaches, which are in walking distance. Sunsets over the lake were especially beautiful. We also enjoyed the lighthouse and the town of Westfield. ##### Cynthia L.
