Accommodations
From historic bed and breakfasts to sky-high views of the Lake Erie waterfront, there are many places to stay near the Fredonia campus.
The moment you arrive in the Village of Fredonia, you’ll notice the historic Victorian homes lining the streets, the walkable downtown, but most of all the welcoming community. You'll find abundant cafes, coffee shops, and locally-owned stores--all with their own unique character and charm. Some may call us a “college town,” but there’s nothing average about Fredonia. And that’s the way we like it.
Off-campus, you’ll find a welcoming community in Fredonia and Chautauqua County with hundreds of attractions. Whether you’re looking for a trail to run, a lake to sail, a world-class comedy experience, or a day on the slopes, they're all only minutes away.
