The Chestnut Inn

You’re Invited

Oquaga Lake’s pastoral landscapes have been a resting place away from the city for over a century. At The Chestnut Inn, the tradition of lakeside getaways is revitalized once more, within a bed and breakfast that combines historic charm and modern sensibility. Curl up by the handsome stone fireplace surrounded by American chestnut interiors, find a seat on the 100-foot porch, or go for a swim in serene waters—whatever your intention is, you’re more than welcome here.
