This older but grand house was a delight to inhabit for our annual sibling retreat. We're all about hanging out together, cooking and eating and playing, and this was spacious and well-equipped. The weather was rainy and cool, but we had so much space to play games, watch movies, and relax that we didn't mind!

Amazing house!
The house was perfect for our group and communication with Edward was amazing! You can tell he is very passionate about the house and takes great care of the house! There is so much history in this house and he is so knowledgeable and willing to share everything he knows about the house! There was even a whole packet that he has been working on that we could read to learn more about the house! This house is huge and fit our group perfectly! Would definitely return again!

A great find for a family reunion
This house was built for a wealthy family and their staff, and it shows in the layout, with several very large bedrooms and a few smaller ones too. The kitchen is tucked away from the rest of the house, but has everything you need for cooking for a crowd. We baked bread, roasts, and at one point had at least 5 of the 10 burners going on the top. When we arrived, the windchill was -30 and I think it may have been one of the coldest days on record. The lockbox froze but Ed was super supportive in helping us get into the house even though he was out of town himself. Even with ~100 degree difference between the outside air and that inside, the house stayed warm. We were grateful for its size because the blizzard basically kept us inside for two days and there was still lots to explore. If you’re looking for a sizeable property to gather a bunch of people, which has lots of character and space, this is an excellent find. And Ed couldn’t be more helpful, always ready to make sure we had all we needed. The only deduction for cleanliness is that I think several of us had our dust allergies kick up a bit. There are so many nooks and crannies that I imagine the cleaners just hadn’t gotten around to a deep clean of our room in a while, but this is an issue easily fixed.

Lovely antique home!
We were in town for a family wedding and needed a gathering place for family. This home met every single need and exceeded expectations. We are also a family of history geeks, so enjoyed a chance to stay at one of Jamestown’s historic grand old homes. The kitchen and dining spaces were perfectly setup for feeding a crowd. The 10-burner stove was a dream to use! There was also plenty of dishes, etc. (all glass/china). Edward was very responsive to my many questions. And spent a lot of time with us at checkin and giving a extensive tour. We would definitely rent here again.

Our group was in town for a funeral. We stayed just for the weekend. The home was the perfect place to gather as a group, with ample separate space to sleep and get ready for the various events. Ed was wonderful to work with and things could not have gone more smoothly. I highly recommend Sheldon House as a wo derful place to stay in Jamestown.

Beautiful Spacious Home
We enjoyed a week long family reunion at the Sheldon House. We had 13 people and we really appreciated the spacious living room, dining room and solarium. There was plenty of space for the children to play and for the adults to break off to talk or read. The bedrooms and bedding were very comfortable. While the home is stunning it is also very warm and inviting. Ed was a terrific host . . . checking in, responding quickly and offering recommendations. Nothing but good things to say about the property and the host. Thank you!

Great place
We had a large group and this house was perfect for us. The location was a little noisy - corner property and people liked to drive by with their car stereos blaring - but this was just occasionally. The description says there is RV parking, but it took us awhile to find it since the area had a chain across the parking lot. However, after communicating with the owner, it was all straightened out. The interior is beautiful. We had three elementary children, so we were happy to see the dining area with a stone floor so we didn't have to worry about the children dropping food on the carpet in the dining room. All in all, the property worked well for us. It is also within in driving distance of many attractions, such as Niagara Fall.

Family Reunion/80th Birthday Celebration
Following Covid, we finally had a family reunion and 80th birthday celebration for relatives from Massachusetts, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Kansas at the Sheldon House. Sleeping accommodations for ten adults were very comfortable. Due to rainy weather, we moved dinners and entertainment from our daughter's nearby farm to the home. It is a fantastic "old world" mansion in a great setting with plenty of space to enjoy. The owner was very helpful and cooperative. Highly recommended.

Surprise party for 80th Birthday
This was a perfect venue for a family get together, Reunion, party, shower, graduation etc... Family from out of town and locals all able to stay eat and gather together in one home! This was none of our hometown...but a pretty location on chautaqua lake and close to the guest of honor in Fredonia. No far off of an interstate for those traveling up from NC and down from Buffalo. The large and well equipped kitchen was perfect for cooking in house instead of ordering catering, bringing the family recipes to life and maintaining any needed ingredient restrictions. FANTASTIC!

Amazing Home, Amazing Vacation
When we booked the trip, we knew we were getting a nice place to stay, but didn't realize how amazing and historic this house would be. Ed was an amazing host - contactless entry, available by phone/text anytime, and always available to answer questions. The house was immaculate and so much fun to explore. 11 of us stayed in the house, and at no time did we feel like we were crowding each other. There was plenty of space to play, relax, eat, and enjoy each other's company. Easily the best family vacations we've had in years, and we will certainly be back again!

Unique and memorable trip
Edward was a great host who was so responsive and wanted to make everything perfect. The house is HUGE, and with that there are always going to be little things that break, need updating, etc., but you could tell he really cared and wanted to get as much as possible right for us. Jamestown doesn't have a ton going on, but there were a couple restaurants nearby. Overall, it was a very cool and unique home and the kids could not stop telling everyone we stayed in a mansion. And great for hide and seek! :)
