HISTORY, ENTERTAINMENT AND ART 

A LEGACY OF 

The National Comedy Center is the 

first national-scale visitor experience 

and non-profit cultural institution 

dedicated to comedy. Engaging visitors 

with the story of the art form and 

its artists, and featuring more than 50 

immersive and interactive exhibits, 

the National Comedy Center will host 

its ribbon cutting weekend in August

Jamestown, NY. 


HISTORY, ENTERTAINMENT AND ART 

Chautauqua County has been the go-to 

destination for vacation learning for 

over 140 years, boasting attractions 

like Chautauqua Institution and the 

National Comedy Center, the birthplace 

of national celebrities including 

Lucille Ball, Roger Tory Peterson, Governor 

Reuben Fenton and Supreme 

Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, as well 

as a host of entertainment venues 

from cruises on the lake to comedy 

shows featuring up-and-coming and 

nationally renowned artists. From 

museums and history centers like the 

Dunkirk Lighthouse to mountain 

adventures at Peek’n Peak Resort, 

and art galleries from Fredonia to 

Jamestown, Chautauqua County offers 

things to do and places to amuse all 

year long. 

One of Chautauqua County’s most distinguished 

attractions is Chautauqua 

Institution, a unique and charming 

Victorian village located along the 

northwestern shore of Chautauqua 

Lake. Founded in 1874, the “Chautauqua 

Experience” continues a 144-year tradition 

as an extraordinary blend of arts, 

education, recreation and religion. 

This summer, engage your mind, body 

and spirit from June 23 – August 26, 

2018. Chautauqua’s nine-week program 

season begins with a week observing 

the power and tradition of the literary 

arts, which find themselves at the 

forefront of cultural, political and 

artistic conversations in the U.S. and 

around the world. Highlights include 

conversations about Russia and the 

West, The Changing Nature of Work, The 

Arts and Global Understanding featuring 

The Silk Road Ensemble and Yo-Yo 

Ma, and much more. Chautauqua’s 

2018 season concludes with examining 

the impact of cinema on storytelling and 

social change and the Chautauqua 

Film and Food Festival. At nearby Lily 

Dale Assembly, the summer program 

runs from June 29 – September 2, 2018.

In Jamestown, breath-taking likenesses of Lucy and cohorts act 

out popular “I Love Lucy” scenes painted on five buildings. Two 

bronze statues in Celoron’s Lucille Ball Memorial Park also honor 

the First Lady of Comedy. The original became a nationwide 

phenomenon in 2015 when locals requested the artist re-work

FIVE AMAZING LAKES 

PLUS WATERWAYS 

Windswept shores, sandy beaches and 

dramatic cliffs define Chautauqua 

County’s northern Lake Erie border. Just 

a few miles inland at 1308 feet above sea 

level, Chautauqua Lake is said to be one 

of the highest navigable bodies of water 

in North America. Several smaller lakes 

surround Chautauqua, including Findley 

Lake to the southwest, formed from 

spring fed ponds that drain into the West 

Branch of French Creek, and Bear and 

Cassadaga Lakes to the north. Explore the 

water on vessels of all sizes from canoes, 

kayaks and fishing boats to pontoons, 

power boats, and narrated cruises aboard 

commercial yachts. 


FOUR SEASONS IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS 

Discover magnificent views and undisturbed 

landscapes while hiking, cycling, 

mountain biking, birding, horseback 

riding, snowmobiling and cross country 

skiing. Chautauqua County boasts an 

elevation ranging from 500 to 2000 feet 

above sea level with rolling Allegheny 

foothills and five lakes including 50 miles 

along Lake Erie as well as western New 

York’s largest inland lake, Chautauqua. 

Spring and fall are peak seasons for fly 

fishing in Steelhead Alley, the tributary 

streams that feed Lake Erie. They are 

also seasons for enjoying golf on 

twenty courses throughout a region 

known for the quality of its golf season, 

access to courses, and reasonable 

fees. In summer, the lakes provide 

plenty of opportunity for fun on the 

water. Rent a boat. Relax on a beach. 

Go fishing, kayaking, or take a lesson 

in sailing. 

With more than 200 inches of average 

annual lake effect snowfall, Chautauqua’s 

landscape, well-known for 

summer fun becomes a winter sports 

lover’s paradise. Connect with a local 

snowmobile club to learn about snowmobile 

safety classes for youth before 

heading out on more than 400 miles of 

trails. Skiers and snowboarders will find 

plenty of expert advice from the 

instructors at the Peek’n Peak Resort. 

Cockaigne Ski Area in Cherry Creek is 

scheduled to re-open for the 2018-2019 

ski season.

DEEP WATER ANGLING, TRIBUTARY STREAMS AND INLAND LAKES 

Named the #7 Best Bass Lake in the US by Bassmaster Magazine (June 2017), Lake Erie is the shallowest of the Great 

Lakes. Bass are found along the entire New York shoreline, with hotspots along rocky drop-offs in 15 to 35 feet of water. 

Anglers can enjoy an early bass season on Lake Erie, which runs from the 1st Saturday in May until the 3rd Saturday in 

June. The eastern basin of Lake Erie is also well-known for trophy-size walleye (8-10 lbs) found in deeper waters with local 

tournament winners often exceeding 11 lbs. 

Lake Erie's tributary streams, receive an annual run of migratory rainbow trout called "steelhead." From October through 

April, thousands of steelhead ascend Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Canadaway, and 18-Mile Creeks on their mission to 

spawn. For the sportsman, excellent fly-fishing opportunities await. 

Go fishing on inland lakes including Chautauqua, Findley, Cassadaga and Bear Lakes. Chautauqua Lake, ranked #21 Best 

Bass Lake in the Northeast by Bassmaster (June 2017), offers exceptional fishing for walleye, bass, muskellunge and several 

species of panfish. Findley Lake’s abundant beds of aquatic vegetation provide angling for a variety of sportfish and panfish, 

while the three interconnected lakes of Cassadaga provide angling for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, 

muskellunge and panfish. The smallest of the County’s inland lakes, known as a kettle lake, Bear Lake's shoreline is 

predominantly wetland, providing excellent habitat for bass and other predator and prey fish.

TURKEY, DEER AND GAME 

A diverse landscape and abundance of species make Chautauqua County an attractive destination for hunters. The region teams with whitetail deer and 

draws thousands of hunters each fall for bow, shotgun and muzzleloader seasons. The eastern wild turkey thrives in forested areas throughout the county 

which consistently ranks in the top three counties in New York State for the spring turkey harvest. Check the Hunting Regulations below for specifics on 

season dates and licenses.

with a spectacular view overlooking Chautauqua Lake or near the majestic cliff-lined shores of Lake Erie. Try a round at Peek’n Peak Resort, host of

EXPLORE WOODS, FIELDS AND TRAILS 

Proximity to Lake Erie and lake effect storms mean snow for Chautauqua County, totaling an average of 200 inches annually! 

For downhill and cross country snow sports, head to Peek’n Peak Resort and enjoy 27 slopes and trails, state-of-the-art 

snowmaking, eight chairlifts, four progressive terrain parks, and a renowned ski and snowboard school. There’s even a tubing 

area with seven lanes and a “Magic Carpet” lift. Cross country skiers and snowshoers will also find opportunities at Long Point 

State Park, Lake Erie State Park, Chautauqua Institution, and the Jamestown Audubon Community Nature Center. 

Hundreds of miles of trails groomed by five local clubs provide an ideal setting for snowmobiling over old railroad beds, 

former trolley lines, open farm fields, heavily wooded areas, and seasonal roads. Snowmobile trails may officially open a 

week or so before Christmas provided the ground is frozen and there is adequate snow.

TOURS AND RACES 

Explore the rolling hills of Amish Country, low lying Great Lakes Plain, and inland shorelines of Chautauqua County on 

two wheels. Cycling is fast becoming a popular activity in the region from casual rides to destination tours and races like 

the Chautauqua Gran Fondo event in August that circles Chautauqua Lake, and the Tour D’Vine and Tour of Chautauqua 

rides through the Lake Erie region. Take a ride from Findley Lake to Panama Rocks or Silver Creek to Cherry Creek and 

enjoy country roads and idyllic scenery. Routes that climb the Lake Erie escarpment challenge the hardiest cyclists and 

offer the most rewarding views. For off-road cycling and mountain biking, try the Rails to Trails system, the Overland 

Trails including the Harris Hill State Forest, or the new mountain trails at Peek’n Peak Resort. Chautauqua Institution, 

Lake Erie and Long Point State Parks, and Point Gratiot in Dunkirk offer little traffic and gentle grades for families. 

For more suggestions, check the Where to Play Cycling section on tourchautauqua.com to find details on cycling routes 

recommended by area cycling shops, clubs, and race organizers. Each suggestion includes a summary map and description 

of the route in a printable PDF format. 


Scenic 

OVERLOOKS 

Natural beauty abounds throughout the Chautauqua- 

Lake Erie Region. Drive, cycle, paddle or hike through the 

bucolic countryside, along miles of shoreline, the open 

water or wooded trails. We’ve put together an interactive 

map that will guide you to some of Chautauqua County’s 

best vantage points to appreciate the incredible sights. 

Places like breakwalls along the Great Lake Erie, sweeping 

vineyards with breathtaking views, waterfront vistas and 

high elevation perches with panoramic scenes that 

stretch as far as the eye can see. After you’ve done 

enough exploring for the day, visit a local craft brewery 

or distillery, we’ve mapped those out too! Share your 

experiences with the @TourChautauqua social accounts

TASTE GRAPES, FRUIT AND WINE 

Delight your senses with native 

grapes, wineries, craft breweries and 

distilleries, farm markets, lighthouses, 

scenic vistas and historic trails along 

the Lake Erie shoreline. This is America’s 

Grape Country, home to the oldest 

and largest Concord grape growing 

region in the world and the largest 

grape growing region in the United 

States east of the Rockies. Learn the 

story of more than 150 years of grape 

growing at the Grape Discovery Center 

on Route 20 near Westfield. Sample 

award winning wines in Lake Erie 

Wine Country. Plan a visit during one 

of the wine country’s annual events 

including a Wine and Chocolate Weekend 

in February, Wine and Cheese 

Weekend in April, Charming Wine 

Weekend in May, and Harvest Wine 

Celebrations in November. 

Chautauqua County boasts the 

largest number of farms of any 

county in New York State primarily 

due to many small family dairy or 

grape farms supplemented by meat 

from livestock operations, tree fruits 

and vegetables. Winemaker’s, Farmto-Table, 

and Beer Pairing Dinners at 

individual wineries, restaurants, and 

breweries offer unique opportunities 

to not only enjoy sumptuous meals 

that are sourced from these local 

farms, but also to learn from the 

winemakers, brew masters, and chefs 

how to pair foods and flavors when 

entertaining and creating your own 

culinary masterpieces.

and inquire. Plan a weekly trip to a farmers market 

during growing season to find fresh meats and 

cheese, homemade jams, jellies, and fudge in addition 

to seasonal produce. See the calendar of events 

on page 18 for a schedule of farmers markets in 

Chautauqua County where you might also find pure 

New York State maple syrup made from the sap of 

local trees and local honey. At the Sugar Shack in 

Barcelona, sample 21 flavors of farm-made fruit 

syrups. Stop at Reverie Creamery on Route 394 in

VINEYARDS, BEACHES AND LIGHTHOUSES 

Travel along the Lake Erie shoreline in 

western New York from Silver Creek to 

the Pennsylvania border and look out 

over mile upon mile of vineyards. 

Sharing an area less than six miles wide 

with three major east/west routes 

(Routes 5, 20 and Interstate 90), this 

50-mile stretch includes beachfront 

communities, two lighthouses, charming 

villages, picturesque farms, orchards, 

produce stands, and 20,000 acres 

farmed by grape growers. Look out 

over the Great Lake Erie from the 

Dunkirk Lighthouse tower, the Sunset 

Bay breakwall, or the Luensman 

Overview Park at the top of the Chautauqua 

Ridge and escarpment. All 

offer spectacular panoramic views of 

the seemingly endless Lake Erie horizon. 

Spend the day at a beach or go shopping 

along the Dunkirk Boardwalk. 

Plan a trip to the farmers market on 

Saturday in Fredonia or Westfield, or 

stop at the Cross Roads Farm and 

Craft Market. 

Open year-round, the Grape Discovery 

Center in Westfield offers shopping, 

tastings, and a history lesson of more 

than 150 years of grape growing in the 

region. Visit during harvest season to 

inhale the sweet aroma arising from 

nearby vineyards. Enjoy a glass of 

wine or sample juice made with 100% 

Concord grapes. Taste products made 

locally like grape jam, Concord grape 

vinaigrette, grape berry topping, or 

grape fruit sticks. Purchase Lake Erie 

Wine Country vintages to share with 

friends back home. In the Exhibit 

Room, discover how grapes are grown 

through each season.

Go birdwatching in the landscape that first inspired renowned 

ornithologist, artist, photographer, author and natural historian, 

Roger Tory Peterson. Thermal currents and flyways along Lake 

Erie, heavily forested areas, protected wetlands and open fields 

provide ideal conditions for migratory birds and nesting pairs. 

During the spring and late fall, Chadwick Bay and Barcelona 

Harbor on Lake Erie and portions of Chautauqua Lake and 

other inland lakes host a variety of species on their brief layover. 

Over 340 species have been identified in Chautauqua County! 

Several accessible trails and viewing areas are listed at 

TourChautautauqua.com/birding.aspx. Plan a stop at the 

Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History in 

Jamestown to view the changing wildlife art and photography 

exhibits by both Roger and artists from around the world.

SUNRISE TO SUNSET ON 

Lake Erie Beaches 

Take a walk or play on one of many beaches and lakeside 

parks along Lake Erie. The beach at Sunset Bay off 

Routes 20 and 5 near Silver Creek is one of western New 

York’s favorites. The wide, sandy shoreline and shallow 

water is an ideal spot for families looking for a place to go 

swimming and sunning, and to play in the sand. Adjacent 

to the beach, the Sunset Bay Beach Club offers live 

bands and DJ’s, and Cabana Sam’s Beach Bar & Grill 

provides an outside deck and inside dining. In Dunkirk, 

Point Gratiot is a hotspot for cycling and bird watching 

with tennis, life-guarded swimming, a playground, picnic 

area and restrooms. High bluffs provide a breathtaking 

view at Lake Erie State Park which also provides the conveniences 

of picnic areas, playgrounds and hiking trails. 

Located along Route 5 in the Town of Westfield, one of the 

region’s best kept secrets is Barcelona Harbor. The 

beach is wide with rocks and sand for walking and the 

water is good for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. There 

are no lifeguards here, but there are picnic tables, free 

parking, and a pier, along with restaurants and a boat 

launch. Stop in the new information center at the 

Barcelona Lighthouse, one of the oldest lighthouses on 

the Great Lakes and the first to be powered by natural 

gas. Barcelona also offers the perfect westerly vantage for 

watching the sun drop below the watery horizon. 

Extended hours breakfast with 

24-hour hot & cold beverages.

Go Wine Tasting 

Sip, swirl and savor regional wines along Lake Erie and a trail 

comprised of over 20 wineries between Silver Creek, NY and 

Harborcreek, PA. Lake Erie Wine Country is unique in that it incorporates 

wineries from two states in a contiguous grape growing 

region that boasts over 30,000 acres of vineyards and a landscape 

sprinkled with Victorian-era villages and family owned shops and 

restaurants. While Concords and Labrusca grapes dominate the 

region, the wine selections span the taste palette from dry to sweet 

and include award winning dessert, ice and specialty wines. The 

climate is particularly conducive to Germanic varietals and hybrids. 

Most wineries are open for tastings year round and several offer 

seasonal experiences like walking tours, carriage, or sleigh rides 

through the vineyards, winemaker’s dinners, and annual celebrations 

like the America’s Grape Country Wine Festival, Silver Creek 

Festival of Grapes, Harvest Wine Weekends and Wine and 

Chocolate Weekend. Look for events at the Grape Discovery Center 

or stop by any day to tour the exhibits, learn about the science of 

growing grapes, and the Lake Erie region’s 150 year grape tradition. 


Section Name 

Findley Lake 

STAY, SHOP & DINE 

Circle Chautauqua Lake to find 

casual and fine dining in lakeside 

villages and along country roads 

from Celoron to Mayville including 

fine French cuisine, garden and 

farm-to-table faire, village taverns, 

breakfast and coffee shops, and 

Italian and American restaurants. 

Many offer views of the lake and 

some even provide boat slips or the 

perfect vantage for sunset viewing. 


Chautauqua Section Name Lake 

STAY, SHOP, AND DINE 

At the heart of Chautauqua County 

lies western New York’s largest inland 

lake. At 18 miles long, less than 2 

miles wide, and an altitude of 1308 

feet, Chautauqua Lake touches several 

communities from the urban landscapes 

of Jamestown and Lakewood 

at its southern end to the summer 

communities of Bemus Point and 

Stow at its narrow mid-point, and 

Mayville and Chautauqua, centers of 

government and learning at its northern 

tip. The Native American name “Jaddah’gwah” 

is said to describe the 

shape of the lake, resembling a bag 

tied in the middle or two moccasins 

tied together. 

Interstate 86 via the Chautauqua Lake 

Bridge dissects the lake at its narrow 

mid-point connecting the communities 

of Stow and Bemus Point and offering 

easy access to activities, shopping, 

and dining. For a more leisurely crossing, 

the historic Bemus Point-Stow Ferry 

has been transporting pedestrians, cars, 

cyclists across the narrows for over 

200 years. Along the northwestern 

lakeshore, Chautauqua Institution 

has been welcoming summer visitors 

since its founding as a vacation learning 

center in 1874. Visit during Chautauqua’s 

program season for a unique 

mix of fine and performing arts, lectures, 

interfaith worship programs, and 

recreational activities including golf, 

tennis, and sailing. New in 2018, the 

Chautauqua Harbor Hotel will open 

its doors to guests. Located along the 

southeastern shoreline where Chautauqua 

Lake and the Chadakoin River 

meet, the hotel will pay homage to the 

Celoron Amusement Park, which once 

drew visitors to the very same property 

during the late 1800’s to the mid 1900’s.

Camping 

IN CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY 

Take a deep breath and embrace the fresh air in the 

Chautauqua-Lake Erie Region. From secluded woodlands 

to lakeside locations, the campgrounds throughout 

Chautauqua County set the stage for lifelong memories. 

Choose from nightly, weekly, seasonal or permanent 

sites. Campgrounds with full hookups, swimming pools, 

boat and canoe rentals, recreation areas and evening 

entertainment are great for families and “big kids” of 

all ages. If you’re looking to get off the grid and close to 

nature, a rustic tent site situated on quiet lakeshore banks 

or near a forest trail might sound more appealing. Our 

campgrounds are popular and can book up quickly, especially 

for holiday weeks, so please plan in advance. Learn

Wine, Craft Beer & Spirits 

In an area that has been a long time praised 

for its grape vineyards and award-winning 

wineries, craft breweries and distilleries have 

begun to not only take hold, but grow 

throughout Chautauqua County. After more 

than 40 years in the wine making business, 

the Mazza family opened Five & 20 Spirits 

& Brewing/Mazza Chautauqua Cellars in 

Westfield. As New York State’s first combined 

brewery, winery and distillery, they have a 

strong commitment to creating small batch 

craft beverages and partnering with local 

agricultural producers to ensure ingredients 

are grown as close to home as possible. New 

in 2017, Five & 20 began using the byproducts 

from their brewing operation to resourcefully 

feed and the fish at their onsite commercial 

fish production farm, as well as to treat 

wastewater thereby reducing pollution. 

Southern Tier Brewing Company, one of 

the largest craft brewers in the game, got 

its start right here in Chautauqua County. 

Visit their Empty Pint Tasting Room and Pub 

in Lakewood to sample your favorite STBC 

brews. Tours are offered every Saturday on 

a first come, first serve basis. Afterwards 

hang out in the Schalander Tasting Room 

overlooking the continuously growing brew 

house or head back down to The Empty Pint 

to order house-made comfort foods. Before 

leaving, journey down the hill to visit their 

sister distillery, Southern Tier Distilling 

Company. Ask for a flight or have the bartenders 

shake up a creative craft cocktail 

featuring STDC’s award-winning spirits. 

To view our interactive Craft Beverage Map, 

visit CHQmaps.com

When summer is in swing, so are the bands! Many waterfront 

communities host summer concert series. Thursday evenings at 

Dunkirk’s Pier are a longstanding tradition. This award-winning 

series features some of the region’s favorite bands. If conditions 

permit, the evening will conclude with a spectacular Lake Erie 

sunset that just may take your breath away. 

The Floating Stage on Chautauqua Lake is a hot spot on Saturday 

evenings and Sunday afternoons. Live bands get the boats 

rocking and people on shore swaying to the tunes of summertime 

favorites. Regularly scheduled bands and DJs at various 

Bemus Point establishments make it a fun destination for a 

night on the town. 

Chautauqua Institution’s Amphitheater draws big name performers 

to its stage. Popular entertainers scheduled for 2018 

include the Avett Brothers, Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble, 

Straight No Chaser and more. 

Visit CHQCalendar.com for a list of scheduled performances.

AND NEW YORK’S AMISH TRAIL 

GROWERS 

Chautauqua is home to more than 1,500 

farms as well as a thriving farm-to-table 

movement. Plan a visit to the growers 

of local produce, dairy and meats. Spend 

an afternoon picking your own USDA 

certified organic fruits and vegetables 

at Abers Acres in Kennedy. You’ll find 

cuts of grass-fed beef, chicken, organic 

shiitake mushrooms and tart cherry 

juice at Green Heron Growers Farm 

Store in Sherman. After gathering the 

staples, visit the award-winning Reverie 

Creamery in Mayville to compliment 

your fresh finds. 


FOUR SEASONS OF FUN 

In the southwest corner of Chautauqua 

County, Findley Lake’s proximity to I-86 

offers easy access to attractions in 

Chautauqua County and Lake Erie 

Wine Country. Visit the picturesque 

hamlet of Findley Lake on a small lake 

of the same name with a main street 

of boutique shops. A short drive down 

the road takes you to Peek’n Peak 

Resort, a four season destination for 

golf, snow sports, aerial adventures, 

mountain biking and getaways at an 

old English Tudor style Inn. 

Peek’n Peak’s Upper Golf Course is 

home to the LECOM Health Challenge, 

one of twenty-five PGA tournaments 

on the Web.com Tour. The 2018 event 

takes place July 2-8th. 

The farmlands in the rolling countryside 

surrounding the Findley Lake are 

home to some of our local Amish 

community. If you travel the country 

roads toward the eastern edge of 

Chautauqua County and into neighboring 

Cattaraugus County, you’ll discover 

one of the largest Old Order Amish 

communities in the country and New 

York’s Amish Trail. Farming is the 

main occupation here with work done 

using all metal wheeled equipment and 

horses. To supplement their income, 

some Amish have turned to making 

quilts, wrought iron, furniture, leather 

and collar goods, windows, steel roofing, 

and cutting lumber. 

Amish merchants offer their quality 

goods from a room in their home or 

an extra building on the farm. Maps of 

the three predominant Amish areas 

within Chautauqua County are available 

at Chautauqua Institution’s Main Gate, 

the I-86 Chautauqua Lake Visitors 

Centers or online. Plan to visit before 

sundown and on any day but Sunday. 

Please note that photographs and 

video are forbidden by the Amish.

PLAN A GIRLFRIEND 

Getaway 

A Weekend with your girlfriends is good for the soul; 

something about reconnecting puts everything back into 

focus. Time spent on planning can sometimes be the 

biggest obstacle, so let us help: 

1. Shop - Locally owned stores will 

make you feel as if you unearthed a 

secret gem. Discover curated boutiques, 

handmade jewelry, artisanal 

food, Amish goods and memorabilia 

unique to the area. Organize a white 

elephant gift swap to surprise one 

another with a gift at the end of your trip! 

2. Savor – Embark on a tasting journey. Sample wine, 

craft beer and locally distilled spirits. Go on a farm tour 

and pick your own organic produce. Attend a farm-to-table 

dinner or enjoy smoked Great Lakes whitefish. 

3. Experience – Sign up for a SUP yoga 

class or make reservations for Peek’n 

Peak Resort’s Mountain Adventure 

Course. Race down the mountain’s 

Giant Dual Zipline and experience 

the thrilling Aerial Adventure Course, 

a tree top journey featuring over 60 

obstacles. Depending on the time of year, explore area 

hiking trails, rent a boat or hit the slopes. 

4. Indulge – Treat yourselves to some spa time, a visit to 

Webb’s Candies for homemade chocolates, or some r&r 

at your hotel, vacation home or bed and breakfast.
