I donât know who needs to hear this, but thereâs a spiritualist community 20 minutes from your Lake Erie cottage stay.
Lily Dale Assembly â the worldâs largest spiritualist community, tucked quietly into the hills of Chautauqua County â opens for its 2026 season on June 19th. Most visitors driving through Western New York have no idea itâs there. Thatâs exactly what makes it one of those afternoons that turns a good weekend into a truly unforgettable one.
Weâre talking mediumship demonstrations at Inspiration Stump, workshops on intuition and healing, a fairy trail through an enchanted forest, and a village that genuinely feels like it exists outside of time.
Stay at the cottages, spend a morning on the lake, then make an afternoon of it. The drive from the property is under 25 minutes.
Add this to your Chautauqua itinerary. Book your stay at our cottages and make a weekend of it.
