Erie County Cabin | A perfect Family Reunion or group Retreat

10 Bedroom Cabin in Erie County, Wattsburg

The Wilderness Lodge was founded in 1969 by James and Nansi Janes (my grandparents). Jim wanted to create a unique place in the image of a european style inn. As you enter the lodge you are greeted by the main dining room and a huge round fireplace. The natural rustic feel of the hand hewn beams with the granite floor and bar instantly feel as though you have stepped back in time. There are 9 available guest rooms with a max capacity of 31. There are 7 bathrooms in the upstairs and 2 downstairs. In order to properly care for this huge property, I (Ryan), my wife Emily, and our 3 children live here on property in a separate residence that is attached to the Inn. Not only am I able to help guide you to local activities and attractions, I am also available to be your private Chef during your stay your stay so please inquire about menu options when you book. The Kitchen was fully upgraded in January 2015 with a Vulcan Convection oven and 6 burner top, Vulcan IR Salamander Broiler, Garland 36" flat top with a conventional oven and a commercial dish machine.
There is a huge selection of area attractions to fill your days. We are close to multiple wineries in the North east Area as well as a couple of fantastic brewpubs such as Southern Tier, Voodoo, and Sprague Farms. The Beaches of Presque Isle and Bemus point are both easy drives. There are 3 Casinos within an hour. When you book the Lodge for your stay you will have the entire place to yourself including all of the grounds and a full commercial kitchen. The lodge sits on 350 acres of private land and the trail network expands over 1200 acres including the neighbor property that we manaintain. Enjoy hiking on 26 miles of groomed trail, fishing in the pond, or shooting on our private ranges. (10yd, 50yd, 100yd,) There are frequently deer at the feeders in the back yard and the nights here are even more beautiful than the days because of our extremely low level of light pollution. On a clear night literally millions of stars are visible. There is a stocked fishing pond on the property (no barbed hooks please) and it is also fun to go and feed the collection of Japanese Koi. There are multiple campsites and fire pits spread around the property as well. Please allow us to prepare your group a picnic lunch and deliver it to any spot on the property that you choose.

Summary: We stayed here for a week with extended family. The checkin process was pretty straight forward. Communication prior to stay was better than during, but not worth complaining about. Pretty much, for the price, not a bad place to stay. Definitely an older building, and smells like it)) the kitchen is nice, but depending what the meals, better to bring your own tools)) laundry is not available for guests, a bit of an inconvenience, especially if the group is larger and wet lothing jeeds washed.. but with all that said, you get what you pay for, and we still had a great time, as the goal was to spend time with family, and the property has plenty of space for such a group. Would consider coming again.

Summary: Our regular summer place wasn't available last year, so we tried the Wilderness Lodge. It was great. This is our second year coming back and likely to become our new summer tradition. Thank you!

Summary: We celebrated my 40th bday with 30 friends and family. The lodge is great for a big group of varying ages. It is accurately depicted in the pictures; you don't get other amenities - I was hoping they would have a foosball or ping pong table.The kitchen is indeed fully stocked -- all the cooking surfaces, coffee pots, pots, pans, knives, silverware, plates, etc you could need. The grounds were nicer than expected. I'm sure it's a great place to cross country ski -- wasn't enough snow for us. Only small hiccup was communication. It took a few days to hear back, and the recommended caterer never called back. Worked better when I looked up the number and called the Lodge directly. All in all -- a great rustic place to gather with a big group of friends and family. -Joe

Summary: Our church Youth Group Retreat went fantastic here! There was plenty of room for everyone, plenty of space and opportunity for games. The kitchen (especially the stove top and the industrial dishwasher) were amazing for quickly cook up food and cleaning up afterwards. Ryan was always prompt in getting back to us when we had questions. We would definitely stay again and recommend for others!

Summary: Our group has stayed at this location many times over the last few decades! This was the first time we rented the ENTIRE LODGE, which includes the commercial kitchen for us to prepare our own meals. This was fantastic once we figured out all of the quirks of the appliances. I think that a laminated instruction sheet for the ovens, stove, broiler, and dishwasher would be a tremendous help for future guests. The beds were comfy and all linens and towels were clean and included. We enjoyed hanging out in the bar / dining area playing games and listening to our friends play the piano! The fire place is FANTASTIC and the rustic atmosphere is cozy and perfect for our large outdoorsy group. We had hoped to have a weekend full of Nordic Adventures... however Mother Nature did not provide enough of the fluffy white stuff. That did not keep us from having a great time! We hiked every day - so many places with in an hour drive: state parks, lakes, antique shops, breweries, wineries etc. I highly recommend this Lovely Family Owned Lodge for large groups looking for a rustic adventure :)

Summary: The kitchen is huge and well equipped, lots of space to spread out, and the many bedrooms gave each family group their own private space. It’s an easy drive to the ski slopes and worked wonderfully for our large group! The rustic decor is extra fun and we’d gladly stay there again!!!
