Resort on Main is a beautifully updated 2,800 square foot vacation home situated in the heart of Bemus Point Village, just two blocks from the lake. Originally built in 1904, the home has been thoughtfully redesigned to offer a comfortable and spacious retreat for families, groups, reunions, and getaways of all kinds.
The home sleeps up to ten guests across five bedrooms, including one king master suite and four queen bedrooms. Inside, you’ll find a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, spacious dining and living rooms, two covered porches, and a common area with a work station for those who need to stay connected. The home is air-conditioned and well-equipped throughout.
The location puts guests within easy walking distance of the village’s restaurants, shops, and the Bemus Point Golf Club & Tap House. The Chautauqua Institution is about seven miles away, and Long Point State Park offers swimming, hiking, and picnicking a short drive from the village.

Order the cinnamon roll for the table. Seriously. It is a Bemus Point tradition.
Bemus Point Inn Restaurant has been a favorite breakfast and brunch stop in the village for generations, and locals will absolutely tell you the same thing, get there hungry.
Their giant cinnamon rolls are legendary, and yes, the “sweetest buns in town” slogan has been around forever for a reason. One roll easily becomes a table decision.
Breakfast is served all day, which means you can roll in after a slow lake morning and still order your favorites.
Eggs Benedict. Belgian waffles loaded with fresh berries. Potato pancakes. Hashbrown casserole. Homemade soups and breads. The kind of comfort food that somehow feels even better after a morning on Chautauqua Lake.
And fair warning, this place fills up fast on weekends.
Open daily from 7AM to 2PM.

Something BIG is coming to Chautauqua Lake for the 4th of July!
We’re excited to officially announce a special America 250 collaboration between Visit Bemus Point and the Village of Mayville for Saturday, July 4, 2026.
This year, both communities will launch music-synchronized fireworks displays across Chautauqua Lake in partnership with Skylighters of New York and Kix Country.
Visitors in each community will be able to tune into Kix Country to hear patriotic music timed to their local fireworks show, creating a lake-wide celebration for America’s 250th anniversary.
As part of the celebration, Bemus Point is also expanding its traditional fireworks display into an extended 25 minute show!
We’ll be sharing additional details so make sure to mark yourself as “Interested” or “Going” on the official facebook event page and invite your friends!
We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you on Chautauqua Lake this 4th of July!

Our camera roll during Memorial Day Weekend in Bemus Point, NY 📍
And yes, it really looks like this. ☀️🌊
There is just something about the first big summer weekend on Chautauqua Lake. The boats are back out, the village is busy again, music is playing somewhere, ice cream lines start forming, and suddenly everyone remembers why they wait all winter for this place.
It is sunset boat rides, packed patios, barefoot kids, lake days that turn into lake nights, and running into people you know everywhere you go.
Summer officially starts here.
If you are spending Memorial Day Weekend in Bemus Point, drop a 👋 below. We want to see who is here this weekend.

Tavern (noun): A bar that actually serves great food. 🍺
The Green Door Tavern is the kind of place that turns a quick lunch into a three-hour afternoon. A spot where the staff that makes you feel like a regular the first time you walk in.
The wings are the move. 🍗
Cajun parmesan, mango habanero, trail mix.
🍻Order a round, grab a cold beer from the tap, and settle in.
They also come out with complimentary butter-coated popcorn while you wait. 🍿
Yes, really.
Families are welcome, and the place stays lively without ever getting rowdy.
This is the spot for everyone.
Open seven days a week just outside of Bemus Point in Maple Springs.

5 Tips for the Perfect Lake Life Escape. 📍 Bemus Point Edition.
Save this. You’re going to want it later. ☀️
1️⃣ Ride the Bemus Point-Stow Ferry.
This is not optional. One of the only cable-guided ferries left in the country, crossing Chautauqua Lake since 1811. It runs Friday evenings and weekends all summer starting Memorial Day weekend. It’s free, just bring a donation and your camera. Bonus points if you catch it at golden hour. 🌅
2️⃣ Eat somewhere that makes you stop and say, “Wait… how is this place real?”
Guppy`s Restaurant and Tavern for the Stromboli, Fish Tacos, and a gondola seat if you can grab one. Then make your way to The Green Door Tavern for what many locals will tell you are the best wings in town. Try the famous Feegan’s Medium Brown Sugar or Tom’s Original Trail sauce. Seriously. Both are local legends for a reason. 🍗
3️⃣ Find your sunset spot and stay awhile.
The docks. The patio at EBC Chautauqua or Splash. The Landing at BPT. Claim your spot by 7 PM and just take it in. Chautauqua Lake sunsets are the kind that make people come back year after year.
4️⃣ Walk the whole village strip. All of it.
Local boutiques. Ice cream stops. Hidden gems tucked all along Main Street. You’ll probably leave with shopping bags, a coffee in hand, and plans to come back tomorrow.
5️⃣ Book your next trip before you leave.
Everyone says the same thing after their first weekend in Bemus Point: “We should’ve stayed longer.” Summer on Chautauqua Lake is not a one time thing. It’s a lifestyle.
What would YOU add to this list? 👇

No trip to Bemus Point is complete without a stop here.
Right in the heart of the village on Main Street sits 14 Main 📍
This is the spot locals head to every Memorial Day weekend. Bloody Marys on the porch while the parade rolls through, good food, good people, and a front row seat to everything that makes this village special.
And the best part? 14 Main is open year round. So whether it is a busy summer Saturday or a random Wednesday in January when you just need to get out of the house, they’ve got you covered.
It’s one of those places you visit once and somehow end up returning to every single trip.
What’s the one dish you still talk about after you leave? 👇
