Chautauqua is a pedestrian and cycling community interconnected by beautiful brick walks surrounded by lush gardens, parks, iconic landmarks, shops, restaurants, quaint cottages and hotels. It has been called an American utopia where social life flourishes, and there are new friends everywhere you turn. It is a place to strengthen family bonds and make enriching memories to last a lifetime, all in a magical lakefront setting.​
