When you awake, you will be greeted by the fresh smells of summer in farm country with the gentle breezes off of Lake Erie.. You will quickly find that the longer you stay in Western New York, the more attractions and activities you will find... So take a walk down to one of the sandy beaches at Barcelona Harbor...take lunch at Jacks Café or pick-up a selection of locally sourced Perch and smoked Lake Erie White Fish at Westfield Fisheries.
And when you return, stop in to Johnson Estate Winery, across the road from the Westfield House, to taste a selection of Gold Metal, regional wines for the perfect pairing of Lake caught fresh water fish and vineyard to table wines.
Fresh air at the Westfield House is basic to our Lake Country heritage and so are the sound of horse drawn Amish buggies, clippity-clopping past our front door... on their way back home at the end of the day ... only here and only in Chautauqua County New York.
