Just steps from Bestor Plaza and surrounded by Chautauqua’s art galleries, 20 Ramble is great for big groups. 3 porches and 3 floors allow space for everyone. When it’s time to come together, a modern kitchen and dining room comfortably seats 10, allowing good times and conversations to flow.  The gallery cafe is across the side street, and the shops and amenities of Bestor Plaza are just a one-block level walk.  

20 Ramble is a former rooming house built 1891 and originally operated as “Maplehurst.”   On the main floor, a large and light living room is traditionally furnished, while the kitchen/dining room alongside is a contrast of contemporary furniture and updated kitchen. There is also a half bathroom on this floor. 

Upstairs, there are three queen bedrooms on the second floor. One has an ensuite bathroom and dressing room, while a second has a half bathroom. There is also a common bathroom on this floor. On the third floor there are an additional five bedrooms, one with a queen bed and half bathroom, one with two twin beds and three rooms with a twin bed each.  There is another full bathroom on this floor.  Altogether, up to 13 can sleep comfortably.  

All queen rooms boast ultra-comfortable and naturally cooling Casper mattresses.

The Living Room and Kitchen both have quiet air conditioning, as do two bedrooms on the second floor. The third bedroom on that floor has a window air-conditioning unit that can be lifted into place. The other bedrooms on the top floor have window fans, and there are also several free-standing electric fans around the house if needed.

There is a stair-lift between the first and second floor, for those who have difficulty climbing stairs. Be aware, however, that there are three steps up to the front porch.

Finally, there are three great porches at the front, plus one side porch. On the first floor the porch looks over the front garden to the street and turns the corner to the side. On the second floor a swing chair offers seclusion if you just want to read. On the third-floor porch you can take in the sun and look down onto Chautauqua below.

Note the house does not have TV service but does have wi-fi.
