about us

We met on a chairlift at a nearby ski resort, a lucky pairing of a Dutch woman and a local man.

Right after we married, Else taught windsurfing on the City Pier.

Once she saw the sunny northeast lakeshore, she said, “We should buy a cottage there someday.”

After raising 3 kids, that’s what we did in 2012.

When it’s not rented, we reconnect there.  Because we live in nearby Canandaigua, we’ll greet you, hand over the keys and show you around.

We’ll answer any of your questions during your stay.

Savvy travelers know that you’ll save a ton of money by booking direct.

For starters, you avoid traveler’s fees charged by on-line travel agencies like VRBO and AirBnB.

You also avoid dealing with greedy 3rd-party property managers. They add up to 35% more to the cost of your vacation with no benefit to you.

You even avoid state Sales Tax. 

And finally, our town does not charge any Occupancy Tax.

That saves you up to $1,000!

So save money and book directly with us.
